A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: Data Collection and Reporting for
HUD's Homeless Assistance Programs--Annual Performance Report and
System Performance Report
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0145.
Type of Request: Reinstatement.
Form Number: None.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: This
request is for clearance of data collection and reporting to enable the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of
Community Planning and Development (CPD) to continue to manage and
assess the effectiveness of its homeless assistance projects on an
annual basis. Per 24 CFR 578.103(e), HUD requires recipients and
subrecipients that receive funding through the CoC Program (authorized
by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended

[[Page 60640]]

by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing
(HEARTH) Act) to prepare and submit annual project-level reports on
performance and spending.
This request will also enable the HUD CPD Office to initiate a
process to assess the effectiveness of local coordinated systems of
homeless assistance. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as
amended, now requires communities to measure their performance as a
coordinated system, in addition to analyzing performance by specific
projects or project types. Section 427 of the Act established a set of
selection criteria for HUD to use in awarding CoC Program funding.
These selection criteria require CoCs to report to HUD their system-
level performance. The intent of these selection criteria are to
encourage CoCs, in coordination with Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Program recipients and all other homeless assistance stakeholders in
the community, to regularly measure their progress in meeting the needs
of people experiencing homelessness in their community and to report
this progress to HUD. This request is for HUD to collect system-level
performance measure data from CoCs on an annual basis, as described in
Appendix B of this document.
The project APR and system-level performance measures both rely on
a primary data source in each CoC--a local Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS). An HMIS is an electronic data collection
system that stores person-level information about homeless persons who
access a community's homeless service system. Over the past decade, HUD
has supported the development of local HMIS by funding their
development and implementation, by providing technical assistance, and
by developing national data standards that enable the collection of
standardized information on the characteristics, service patterns and
service needs of homeless persons within a jurisdiction and across
jurisdictions. These standards are described in HUD's HMIS Data
Standards.
