Case Study

The Office of Single Family Housing (SFH) in collaboration with the HUD’s EA Team developed an information technology blueprint. SFH was deemed a high priority based on high system maintenance costs and poor support for field operations and emerging business requirements.

Implementation of the SFH blueprint will reduce the number of SFH systems by nearly 80 percent—from 30 supported and 6 unsupported systems to approximately 7 core modules. The SFH blueprint minimizes functional overlap, and reduces the total cost of ownership by modernizing the technology base and decreasing maintenance costs. For more information see a presentation (pdf) on this case study.

Next Steps:

• Establish Program Management Team to oversee implementation of the SFH Blueprint.
• Realign SFH IT initiatives to reflect the Blueprint.
• Develop SFH Transition Plan.
