Next steps (2-year vision) Integrate ESG & HOPWA program changes into IDIS Integrate ESG & HOPWA program changes into IDIS Build ConPlan / Annual Action Plan into IDIS Build ConPlan / Annual Action Plan into IDIS Expand functionality of program income to mirror letters of credit (subfunding & subgranting) Expand functionality of program income to mirror letters of credit (subfunding & subgranting) On-line environmental review linked to draw-downs On-line environmental review linked to draw-downs Integrate new CPD grant programs into IDIS Integrate new CPD grant programs into IDIS New screens to handle Section 108 (CDBG funding type) New screens to handle Section 108 (CDBG funding type) 11

Next steps (long-term vision) Potential to build HUD-wide, web-based, grant management system. - Collapse and integrate IDIS, DRGR, GMP, and other systems into 1 platform. - Could include single-sign-on - Depends on funding priorities of new administration. 12
