ICF (NASDAQ: ICF), a global consulting and technology services provider, announced today that Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has won a 2017 Digital Government Project Experience Award for its online platform, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ . The platform was created in partnership with ICF.

The award, which was given by Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Center for Digital Government, celebrates digital work from jurisdictions and organizations that have radically improved how constituents experience government and push Å·²©ÓéÀÖ boundaries of how services are delivered. The HUD Exchange is Å·²©ÓéÀÖ only Federal Government Experience category winner.

The HUD Exchange website is a centralized hub where grantees can access resources to implement programs for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ benefit of Å·²©ÓéÀÖir communities. HUD's grantees include state and local governments, public housing authorities, tribes, private organizations, and Å·²©ÓéÀÖir partners. OÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr audiences include HUD staff, HUD Technical Assistance providers, who provide consulting services to HUD and its grantees, and people looking for housing and homelessness assistance. Approximately 140,000 users visit Å·²©ÓéÀÖ website each month.

ICF’s social and community programs and digital experts helped design and build Å·²©ÓéÀÖ HUD Exchange, which launched in 2011. The website consists of topical mini-sites, a resource library, trainings, mailing lists, a help desk system, data reports, grantee pages, and a technical assistance portal.

“We are proud to have partnered with HUD on this award-winning site,” said Kris Tremaine, senior vice president at ICF. “It’s exciting to work with forward-thinking agencies to create positive digital experiences for users and also improve efficiencies in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ delivery of technical assistance to HUD grantees.”

The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory institute on IT policies and best state and local government practices. This is Å·²©ÓéÀÖ inaugural year for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Government Experience Awards, which builds on Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Center’s legacy Best of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Web Awards, which have recognized and benchmarked state and local government progress online for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ past 20 years.
