• Research and make recommendations to team members or managers on policy, management, resources and procedural requirements in support of HUD programs. Proactively assist in the development of a technical assistance delivery plan for assigned program areas that includes anticipated outcomes, training strategies, action plan, timelines, resources needed, measurements and other required information. Research and analyze local community-based trends, marketing strategies, approaches and best practices in improving CPD programs.
