  • Track action plans against due dates, in particular project-based improvement plans.
  • Monitor metrics relative to performance targets and other benchmarks.
  • Initiate corrective action where performance indicators are consistently off-target.
  • Manage execution of the Strategy Plan and achievement of corporate goals and priorities in Scorecards and Strategy Maps.

Covalent is the solution for HUD Assessments

HUD now also operates a 'risk-based' inspection regime for PHAS whereby so-called 'high performers' receive public recognition and relief from some HUD requirements. By contrast, PHAS that are designated 'Sub-standard' or 'Troubled' performers will be inspected more closely and regularly, and are required to take corrective action to remedy identified deficiencies. These are precisely the demands that the market leading Covalent software addresses.
