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.
