Description: OneCPD+ is intended as a collaborative effort among HUD, our customers &#150; state and local grantees, public housing agencies, owners and managers of HUD-assisted housing, Continuums of Care (CoCs), non-profit grantees, HUD-approved housing counseling agencies and counselors, and other stakeholders &#150; and successful applicants focused on building the kind of management systems and functional capacity necessary to successfully carry out comprehensive and sustainable &#147;place-based&#148; development and revitalization strategies. Just as importantly, OneCPD+ will allow customers to showcase accomplishments by measuring not only the outputs of this technical and capacity building assistance but the outcomes and the impact on communities as well. Through OneCPD+, HUD can develop a new level of technical assistance and capacity building to meet the challenges facing its customers during the current nationwide economic retrenchment. Many of HUD&#146;s state and local government grantees, owners of assisted rental properties, and public housing agencies have lost some of the capacity, resources, and skills necessary to administer HUD programs within the contexts of their local markets. Additionally, many of HUD&#146;s customers are facing changing economic, demographic, and regulatory contexts in which they operate their programs, requiring them to learn new laws and rules, and to more effectively coordinate across sectors. HUD&#146;s role in administering grants is two-fold: (1) build the capacity of grantees to support local decision-making with federal grants, and (2) conduct monitoring and oversight to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to ensure appropriate use of funding. To address both purposes, OneCPD+ will focus on skills, planning, and innovation to build the capacity of HUD&#146;s customers to successfully carry out HUD programs and policy objectives and comply with regulatory requirements.
