About GMO
The Grants Management and Oversight Division (GMO), within the Office of Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), strengthens Departmental internal controls and enhances management integrity across HUD's programs. GMO works closely with Program Offices to streamline grants processes and procedures and increase transparency for results achieved in HUD's grant programs.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Standards for Success (SfS) is HUD’s standardized reporting framework for its discretionary-funded programs. The framework’s main tenets are: (1) standardization of data elements, measures, definitions, metrics, and reporting periods across HUD programs; (2) alignment of programmatic data elements and measures with higher-level agency priority goals and objectives; and (3) the utilization of record-level reports for greater analysis and responsiveness of programs.
