Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.

• An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.

• Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.

• Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.

• Analysis of data to determine the relationship of outputs to outcomes; what outputs produce which outcomes.

HUD Will Use The Following Management Questions To Evaluate Your Program

1. How many grantees showed a reduction in monitoring findings?

2. How many grantees showed an improved performance rating?

3. How many grantees showed timely performance and production?

Carter-Richmond Methodology

The above Management Questions developed for your program are based on the Carter-Richmond Methodology1. A description of the Carter-Richmond Methodology appears in the General Section of the NOFA.
