Monitoring Process
Importance: Monitoring is a critical component of effective grant administration. It promotes transparency and accountability, ensures timely project completion, and supports the City’s ability to be responsive to evolving community needs. Through consistent oversight, the City of Mesa helps maintain public trust and enhances the impact of federally funded programs.
Purpose: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates the monitoring of federally assisted activities to ensure compliance with applicable federal statutes, program regulations, and grant agreement terms. Monitoring helps evaluate performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that grant resources are used efficiently, effectively, and for their intended purposes.
Local Oversight: The City of Mesa’s Housing and Community Development Division is responsible for overseeing compliance with HUD regulations and programmatic requirements. The Division works closely with subrecipients, contractors, and community partners to provide technical assistance, ensure documentation is accurate and complete, and confirm that activities align with HUD’s expectations and the City’s strategic goals.
