Sumario:The writer discusses the use of electronic communications by housing and community development agencies, arguing that such communication is no longer an option but rather a necessity for these agencies if they are to operate efficiently. She considers the different uses of electronic communications since the Department of Housing and Urban Development began to require housing agencies to enter the world of electronic reporting in 1995, and she presents details of some of the computer software available and in use in the field of local housing. She asserts that the electronic communications requirements currently in place are only the precursor of a trend toward increasing reliance on computers for more efficient housing and community development administration.
