The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Inspector General evaluated the front-end risk assessment for the Community Development Block Grant Recovery (CDBG-R) grant. Our objective was to determine whether the assessment complied with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) updated guidance for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), as well as HUD’s streamlined assessment process. Our review of the final assessment for the program determined that except for one noncompliance issue and some minor inconsistency errors, HUD’s final assessment for CDBG-R adequately identified program risk, identified in-place and planned risk mitigation techniques, and adequately described the rationale for the final risk ratings for the 11 factors. Further, HUD’s final assessment for CDBG-R adequately emphasized the major program objectives of timeliness, clear and measurable objectives, transparency, monitoring, and reporting in the assessment. As a result, there are no recommendations in this memorandum.
