CGI selected by the Housing Trust Fund Corporation of New York

• CGI becomes largest HUD processor in the United States

New York, New York, November 22, 2005 – The Housing Trust Fund Corporation of New York, a division of Housing and Community Renewal, selected CGI Group Inc. (CGI) (TSX: GIB.SV.A; NYSE: GIB) for an up to five-year business process services contract valued at US$44 million to serve the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CGI now is responsible for the administration of more than 76,000 housing units within the state of New York and more than 214,000 across the United States, making it the largest HUD processor of its kind in the U.S.

Under the direction of the Housing Trust Fund Corporation, CGI will manage all functions pertaining to contract administration and payment services for site-based multi-family housing assistance payments (HAP) in the State of New York. These functions are currently all under operation. The award is part of HUD’s 2020 reform plan, under which it contracts with qualified housing authorities nationally to administer HAP contracts.

“Our top priority is to serve New Yorkers that need access to Section 8 housing across our state,” said Judith Calogero, Commissioner of the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal and Chair of the Housing Trust Fund. “We look forward to working with CGI and their team of skilled professionals in helping to achieve our goals.”

George Pilla, vice president of government services and solutions for CGI said, “We are thrilled to have signed a contract with the State of New York, our fifth HUD win. Given the size and scope of the work we will be doing for New York, we will be hiring some 75 Business Process Services and IT professionals within the state of New York. We look forward to working with our new client and helping them to support their mission of preserving affordable housing.”
