In-Depth Monitoring Tool. An in-depth assessment of a CAA occurs every three years. Bureau of Neighborhood staff spend approximately two days at an agency conducting interviews with the executive director, key management staff, fiscal staff, program directors, and key board of director officers. No Massachusetts CAAs have individual systems within their agencies that collect client data. Information is then transferred to the state manually.
Agencies provide data and the state calculations one statewide report.
CAAs are required to submit quarterly fiscal reports and a semi-annual and end of year progress report to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. CAAs submit annual workplans and budgets to Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development.
