Integrating Community Development Block Grant Performance Measures into Integrated Disbursement and Information System

The Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), awards funds to cities, counties and states on a formula-driven basis.

HUD is in the process of re-engineering its Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), used by CDBG grantees to report accomplishment data under the program. HUD asked the Academy, as a subcontractor to QED, to offer suggestions for improving IDIS so that community and state performance measures could be electronically analyzed and reported.
