NARTech performs design, development, system maintenance, and restored operations of the SPEARS application that enables FHEO staff to oversee and monitor Section 3 outcomes for more than 5,000 direct recipients of HUD funding, facilitate online electronic submission of the HUD 60002 form by covered HUD grantees. We also implemented the Section 3 Business Registry. NARTech integrated SPEARS with the GSA Login.gov and HUD Secure System Portal for user authentication / authorization and with the Financial Management System (Financial DataMart - FDM) to query financial disbursement data for HUD grants subject to the Section 3 rule to promote economic opportunity for HUD-assisted residents.

NARTech provided Development, Modernization, and Enhancement (DME) services for the HUD Enforcement Management System (HEMS) initiative to consolidate six (6) HUD legacy systems supporting enforcement lines of business, and subsequently expanded the functionality previously provided by the separate systems, including the modernization of FHEO’s Title VIII Automated Paperless Office Tracking System (TEAPOTS).

NARTech has been providing the full system life cycle support. WASS serves as a single sign-on portal and provides a common framework for administering application-level security (authentication and authorization) for over 80 HUD program area business application systems and over 140,000 external and 4,000 internal HUD end-users.
