Office of Departmental Grants Management and Oversight

The Office of Departmental Grants Management and Oversight (ODGMO), is responsible for strengthening internal controls and enhancing management integrity across HUD’s programs; improving management efficiencies by streamlining grants processes and procedures not only within HUD but across all Federal programs in conjunction with the other 26 Federal grant-making agencies; facilitating the move to e-Government; and increasing transparency for results achieved in HUD’s competitive grant programs.

The ODGMO is responsible for developing the General Section to HUD’s annual Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA); ensuring consistency of HUD’s NOFAs with HUD’s strategic goals and policies, developing performance eLogic models for each competitive program; and working with the 26 other federal grant making agencies to simplify and streamline grants management practices across the Federal government consistent with the intent of Public Law 106-107, the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the more recent Federal Financial Assistance Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006.

ODGMO works closely with program offices in reviewing and analyzing results achieved in HUD’s programs with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of HUD’s program delivery and accountability without placing undue burden on the grantee community.
