Optional Online Certification Exam to be completed between the end of class and November 2, 2023, 8pm (ET)
IDIS for CDBG & HOME – HUD requires that all entitlements utilize its Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) to prepare and submit plans, report accomplishments, and manage funds. Though IDIS is the primary tool that communities have for conveying information to HUD, it does not exist in a vacuum: the information entered into IDIS connects to the real world in many ways, and each data point must be supported by documentation that can be produced upon request. This course provides a detailed overview of IDIS for CDBG grantees and HOME participating jurisdictions. It covers the setup of plans, projects, activities, and reports; receipting and drawing entitlement and program income funds; tracking and reporting financial and beneficiary data; and addressing problems that arise throughout the year. Most importantly, it ties the electronic environment of IDIS to the real world of files, public meetings, and beneficiaries. There will be two main focal points to the course:
