🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is updating its Privacy Act System of Records Notice for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems, designated HUD/FPM-01. This modification combines and clarifies three systems—Microsoft Dynamics CRM, HUD Central, and One Stop Customer Service—used to track, route, and respond to public and stakeholder inquiries. The update adds new categories of personally identifiable information (PII) such as taxpayer ID, IP/MAC addresses, speech-to-text data, and veteran/disabled/elderly flags. It also updates system manager contacts, retention policies, and discloses the planned use of AI features within Microsoft Dynamics to generate draft case summaries and email responses, which are always reviewed by staff. The systems cover interactions with the public, Congress, media, lenders, developers, and program participants. Comments are due by May 6, 2026.
