SUBJECT:     Realignment of the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control

 

 

This memorandum requests you to take the appropriate steps to effectuate a realignment of the functions and staff within the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC). I would like to implement this realignment in late August to permit closure of all Quality Management Review (QMR) concerns by fiscal year end. The details of this realignment follow. The necessary functional statements, proposed and current staffing patterns, and a summary of the proposed realignment are attached.

 

The process of developing and implementing corrective actions required to address issues and recommendations cited in the October 2002 QMR also required us to reevaluate and more clearly define roles and responsibilities in terms of the divisions as well as the staff resources within those divisions. It was clear, as a result, that the current organizational structure should be changed to better align the responsibilities of the program areas with the skills and expertise of the staff within those areas.

 

Currently, the compliance and monitoring function and associated responsibilities are spread across the various program divisions. This results in all program staff performing monitoring activities, thereby underutilizing the staff with skills more suited to perform the scientific research, regulatory implementation and program development functions. Thus, effective program oversight is compromised. Further, the knowledge gained from grantees' research and industry progress is not fully factored into shaping and directing the Office's programs and the Department's mission of providing healthy homes. A good example of this is the Department's difficulty in implementing Title X, which depends largely on the ability of this staff to provide technical assistance and direction to the program offices in carrying out Title X requirements.

 

The realignment combines the program implementation and monitoring function with the program reform function in one division. This division will ensure clarity in program direction and maximize program impact by defining and reforming policies and program guidance to effectively implement Section 1012 of Title X in the Department's programs. Further, staff assigned to this division will be appropriately realigned under these functions to better utilize their skills and expertise, thereby optimizing OHHLHC limited resources. Specifically:

 

·       The division's grants and contracts management staff will assume all GTR responsibilities for overseeing and monitoring OHHLHC grantees, Interagency Agreements, and contracts, including contracts implementing the Department's efforts to assess multifamily rental assistance housing units for lead hazards. Staff monitoring these grants and contracts will transfer knowledge gained from grantee activities to the program assurance staff.

·       The division's program assurance staff will take the knowledge gained and use it to inform its analysis of the Department's effectiveness, limitations, and obstacles impeding implementation of Section 1012 of Title X. They will then develop reforms to change HUD program policies and guidance to enhance Title X implementation. For example, to ensure that lead hazard controls are implemented in multifamily housing rental assistance housing containing lead hazards, this staff will work with Multifamily Housing staff to change their monitoring guidelines such that field staff monitoring visits of these properties will include a review of lead hazard controls implemented.

 

The realignment will strengthen the capacity of the Healthy Homes Division by creating a field operations and coordination component staffed by existing out-stationed staff in various field offices who will serve as healthy homes experts to the Department, and who will draw on the Program Management & Assurance Division's knowledge and experience. The scientists, researchers, and education/ training experts here in headquarters will support their efforts by continuing to perform program development and capacity building functions by researching and sharing successful healthy homes and lead control approaches and techniques. In doing so, the Healthy Homes headquarters staff will continue to train and educate the public about health hazards, associated risks and remediation processes. Defined further, field staff will support Program Management and Assurance Division GTRs by providing substantive healthy homes expertise (serving as GTMs), while relying on the GTRs for operational knowledge for all OHHLHC program grants, assisting GTRs in their technical assistance and monitoring activities for grantees within their respective areas of responsibility. Field staff also will monitor implementation of requirements under Sections 1012 and 1018 of Title X, with authority to perform inspections and investigations. Further, field staff will carry the healthy homes agenda to the Department by helping HUD Program offices implement the OHHLHC programs at the ground level. This will be

 

 

 

 

accomplished, for example by accompanying CPD, Housing, and PIH field staff on monitoring visits to help them incorporate OHHLHC program requirements in their monitoring activities. Although it is not required, it is desirable to have one healthy homes staff person located in each region to facilitate implementation of a healthy homes agenda.

 

In summary, the following changes will occur in the OHHLHC:

 

1. Program Management & Assurance Division (rename from Lead Hazard Control Grants Division) - responsible for: providing the management, compliance and monitoring of all projects funded within the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control; developing lead hazard control policies, regulations, procedures, guidelines and standards for all HUD programs; evaluating HUD's effectiveness in implementing Title X and identifying and implementing reforms necessary to carry out the lead hazard control program throughout the Department, and; providing technical assistance to other HUD programs in the implementation of the requirements mandated under Title X.

2. Lead Technical Assistance Division - eliminate this division.

3. Healthy Homes Division - continue to perform the program development function for the Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies programs and their research, demonstration and education components; continue to perform the capacity building function. Defines a field operations and coordination component to: serve as healthy homes experts to the Department; monitor implementation of Rules 1012 and 1018 of Title X; assist HUD program Offices in carrying out OHHLHC program requirements in the field; assist GTRs by providing monitoring and technical expertise to OHHLHC grantees, and; perform environmental review functions.

4. Compliance Assistance and Enforcement Division - (no change) responsible for investigating and attaining compliance with the Department's lead paint regulations in private sector housing.

5. Budget and Administrative Services Division - (no change) responsible for coordinating and managing the resources available to OHHLHC for assigned programs and functions.

 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Should you need additional information please contact Joseph Smith, Acting Deputy Director on 708-0310.

a. Justification: The realignment would combine the program implementation and monitoring function with the program reform function in one division. This division would ensure clarity in program direction and maximize program impact by defining and reforming policies and program guidance to effectively implement Title X of the 1992 Housing & Community Development Act in the Department's programs. Further, staff assigned to this division, renamed the Program Management & Assurance Division, will be appropriately realigned under these functions to better utilize skills and expertise, thereby optimizing OHHLHC limited resources.

 

·         The Lead Technical assistance division will be eliminated.

 

·         The name of the Lead Hazard Control Grants Division will be changed to the Program Management & Assurance Division.

 

The realignment also strengthens the capacity of the Healthy Homes Division by creating a field operations and coordination component staffed by existing out-stationed staff in various field offices who will serve as healthy homes experts to the Department, and who will draw on the Program Management & Assurance Division's knowledge and experience.

 

 

b. Resource Impact: A total of 54 existing FTEs (48 on board; 6 positions being recruited) is required to support the new structure. Sixteen (16) staff are to be reassigned - ten (10 staff will be reassigned from the Lead Technical Assistance Division to the Program

Management and Assurance Division; three (3) staff will be reassigned from the Lead Technical Assistance Division to the Healthy Homes Division; two (2) staff will be assigned to the Healthy Homes Division and one (1) to the Budget and Administrative Services Division from the Lead Hazard Control Division. These reassignments are necessary to facilitate improved use of available resources and skills by better aligning the skills and expertise of the staff with the functions to be performed within each division. There are no new FTEs being requested and no known reprogramming cost or issues related to this proposed realignment have been identified.

 

c. REAP Implications: Consistent with REAP as well as recommendations made by the Quality Management Review.
