HUD OIG conducted an inspection of the Washington, DC Department of Housing and Community Development’s (DHCD) participation in HUD’s ESG program in order to determine whether DHCD (the grantee) and its sub-recipients: (1) appropriately used HUD grant funds for eligible homeless assistance services, and (2) accurately entered required information into the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).

We determined that DHCD did not use HUD Emergency Shelter Grant funds inappropriately for the transactions that we reviewed. Our inspection also determined that the required information was accurately entered into IDIS for the sample of transactions reviewed. OIG made no recommendations for corrective action.
