This is the second of two reports on the leveraging of federal funds in housing and community and economic development programs. Leveraging involves using a source of funds to attract other funds or combining multiple sources of funds. This report examines (1) the leverage measures and the transparency of the data and methods used to calculate them, and (2) the relevance of such measures in assessing performance that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) reported for six selected programs. To complete this work, GAO reviewed agency policies and reports, interviewed officials, and analyzed agency data. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-136/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-136.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-136/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-136.pdf GAO-08-136 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-136 Other Written Product GAO-08-136; HUD and Treasury Programs: More Information on Leverage Measures' Accuracy and Linkage to Program Goals Is Needed in Assessing Performance; Data integrity Economic development Federal funds Financial management Funds management Government information dissemination Housing Housing programs Information disclosure Interagency relations Internal controls Performance appraisal Performance measures Program evaluation Program management Reporting requirements Leverage (financial) Program goals or objectives Transparency Community Development Financial Institutions Fund Title 12 Section 4701et seq. 12 U.S.C. 4701et seq.
