Project Name: IDIS
As a nationwide database, IDIS provides HUD with current information regarding the program activities underway across the Nation, including funding data. HUD uses this information to report to Congress and to monitor grantees. IDIS is the draw down and reporting system for the four CPD formula grant programs: CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA; and for CPD competitive grant program HOPWA Competitive. The system allows grantees to request their grant funding from HUD and report on what is accomplished with these funds. Grantees also use IDIS for Recovery Act programs: CDBG-R, TCAP and HPRP. Grantees also use IDIS for Consolidated Planning.
Implemented enhancements and fixes to the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) and Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). Utilized mature enterprise Java technologies such as Struts, Spring Framework and Hibernate.
Implemented initial design and architecture of the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS). Implemented infrastructure code utilizing modern web and enterprise Java technologies such as Ajax, JavaServer Faces, Java Persistence API, Enterprise JavaBeans, Contexts and Dependency Injection.
