HUD-wide Strategic Plan

The Department of Housing and Urban Development strategic planning process is rooted in Congressional mandates expressed in Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), enacted in 1993. GPRA holds agencies accountable to the Congress and the American people for the results of their expenditure of public funds. To this end, GPRA established the foundation for long- and short-term planning and accountability systems within each agency.

HUD has put in place an integrated set of tools for strategic planning and performance management. Together, they aim to ensure better planning and accountability for results consistent with HUD's mission.

The Strategic Plan establishes HUD's vision and defines its strategic goals and objectives for the next six years. The Plan outlines the trends and challenges affecting HUD's programs and describes the partnerships, policies, means, and strategies to bring about long-term, measurable changes in American housing and urban conditions.

Annual Performance Plan

Each year, we develop and submit an Annual Performance Plan (APP) to Congress specifying the performance goals and results we intend to achieve with our budgeted resources. The APP establishes detailed performance measures that will help us gauge our progress in achieving both strategic goals, objectives, and our six-year performance goals articulated in the Strategic Plan. The CFO, together with the PD&R, is leading the development of HUD's APP for submission to Congress by March 31, each year. More information.   [Back to top]

Management Plan

The Management Plan is HUD's instrument to carry out the mandates for the President's budget and the related APP, including the priorities of this Administration. The Management Plan is the unifying vehicle that allows headquarters and field organizations to develop and implement coordinated strategies and action plans with specific performance goals and milestones.

The goal of the Management Plan is results for citizens and communities that further the commitments in our APP and the priorities of the Administration. This focus on results requires collaborative thinking about the needs of both internal and external customers, as well as integrated delivery of products and services. Organizations are held accountable for assigned responsibilities, and individual performance of senior managers is evaluated in terms of how effectively they accomplish Management Plan goals.

Performance and Accountability Report

The Performance and Accountability Report (PAR) highlights accomplishments, management stewardship, and financial information for HUD's vital housing and community development programs. It also documents our expanded efforts to integrate the Department's budget and performance and to promote electronic government. In addition the PAR has been prepared to better meet the publics' need for transparency in government. Our performance goals are clearly listed, accompanied by concise statements about how we fared in meeting our goals, with a detailed examination of the results and our performance for each goal.
