D.15.3 - Housing assistance
Housing Assistance involves the development and management programs that provide housing to those who are unable to provide housing for themselves including the rental of single-family or multifamily properties, and the management and operation of federally supported housing properties.
The recommended provisional categorization of the housing assistance information type follows:
Security category
Confidentiality Low
The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of housing assistance information on the ability of responsible agencies to develop and manage programs that provide housing to those who are unable to provide housing for themselves including the rental of singlefamily or multifamily properties, and the management and operation of federally supported housing properties. The consequences of unauthorized disclosure of most housing assistance information would have a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Special Factors Affecting Confidentiality Impact Determination: Exceptions that might have a potential for more serious consequences are based on privacy information (e.g., information required by the Privacy Act of 1974 or other statutes and executive orders to receive special handling to protect the privacy of individuals). The Privacy Act Information provisional impact levels are documented in the Personal Identity and Authentication information type. This can result in assignment of a moderate impact level to such information. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for housing assistance information is low.
Integrity Low
The integrity impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to detect the modification or destruction of information. The consequences of unauthorized modification or destruction of housing assistance information would have, at most, a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external communications (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect operations and/or public confidence in the agency, but the damage to the mission would usually be limited. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for housing assistance information is low.
Availability Low
The availability impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to re-establish access to housing assistance information. The effects of disruption of access to most housing assistance information or information systems would have a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The provisional availability impact level recommended for housing assistance information is low.
