SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Housing Counseling system (HCS) is a
system Housing uses to manage HUDs Housing Counseling program. HCS is
the sole web-based application to input, review, report and analyze
data on HUD's Housing Counseling program. HCS is a real-time automated
data management system to manage the housing counseling program by
maintaining the HUD-Approved housing counseling agency list, providing
their profile information to program users, processing their grant
applications, sharing data with other SF Housing programs, and
collecting agencies HUD-9902 reports. Based on a recent review, it was
determined that the HCS system no longer collects Personal Identifiable
Information (PII). The existing PII will remain in a database that is
only accessible through a database extraction tool that recalls the
data located in the database. This is a tool only used by the
contractor assigned to manage the database. It was determined that
previously collected PII data is not Mission Critical Data and
therefore is no longer required. Records are no longer maintained by
the Office of Housing Counseling and have run the record retention
period. The records were wiped from the system. The electronic records
were destroyed in accordance with schedule 20 of the National Archives
and Records Administration General Records Schedule.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Housing Counseling System/Counseling Activity Reporting System,
HUD/HS-23.
HISTORY:
