The current balance in the LOCCS system, according to the record reviewed by Wired, is over $ 100 billion – Money Congress approved HUD projects, but which have not yet been withdrawn. According to the source in the agency, many of this money were intended to cover the lend a hand of disasters and community development.
Usually, those who have access to LOCC require additional processing and approval to gain access to the system, and most of them only have access to access, say department employees.
“Read/record is used to perform contracts and subsidies on the Loccs side,” says one person. “He usually has strict banking procedures for doing anything with funds. For example, you usually need at least two people to approve all decisions – as in the case of banks at a physical bank. “
The second system, in which documents indicate that both DOT agents in HUD have both access to read and record is the accounting and HUD (HudCaps) system, “Integrated System of Section 8 under jurisdiction of the Public and Indian Residential Office”, “,”, “,” According to to HUD. (Section 8 is a federal program managed by local housing agencies, which provides rental assistance in the form of coupons, to Millions of lower families.) System ten był prekursorem LOCC i jest obecnie wycofywany, ale nadal jest wykorzystywany do przetwarzania płatności kuponów mieszkaniowych i zawiera ogromne ilości danych osobowych.
Currently 2.3 million families in receiving housing coupons In the United States, according to its own HUD data, but the Hudcaps database contains information about a much larger number of people, because historical data is retained, says a source familiar with the system. People applying for HUD programs, such as housing coupons, must provide confidential personal data, including medical documentation and personal narratives.
“People entrust these HUD stories,” says the source. “These are not data in these systems, it is operational trust.”
Wass or Network access safety subsystemIt is the third system to which Doge has both access and record, although only Mirski has access to this system in accordance with the documents checked by Wired. It is used to grant rights to other HUD systems. “Most of the functions in WASS are about searching for information stored in various tables to inform the security subsystem, who you are, where you can go and what you can do when you get there” User manual says.
“Wass is an application to ensure rights to the majority, if not all other HUD systems,” says the source of HUD knowing systems that are shocked by the level of Mirski’s access, because usually HUD employees do not have access to read, not to mention access to recording. “Wass is a system for determining the rights for all other systems.”
In addition to these three systems, the documents show that Mirski has only two others. First of all, the integrated withdrawal and information system (IDIS) is a nationwide database that follows all HUD programs throughout the country. (“Idis has confidential data on the hidden locations of home violence shelters,” says the source of HUD: “So even access to reading is terrible”). Second financial assessment of public housing (FASS-PH), a database designed to “measure the financial conditions of public housing agencies and assess their ability to ensure a safe and granted apartment” according to the HUD website.
