A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Standards for Success Reporting.
[[Page 70859]]
OMB Approval Number: 2501-0034.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
request is for the continued clearance of data collection and reporting
requirements to enable the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) to better assess the
effectiveness of discretionary-funded programs included in this
information collection request (ICR). The discretionary-funded programs
included in this ICR are the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator
Grant Program, the Multifamily Housing Budget-based Service Coordinator
Program, and the Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service
Coordinator Grant Program (ROSS).
This proposed collection, titled Standards for Success, has three
key tenets which improves data collection and reporting for
participating programs. First is the standardization of data collection
and reporting requirements across programs which increases data
comparability and utility. Second is the ability to report on
measurable outcomes and aligning them with higher-level agency
objectives. And third is the collection of record-level data, instead
of aggregate data. Collecting de-identified data at the level of the
service recipient allows for more meaningful analysis, improved
management, and the ability to demonstrate the progress and
achievements of the funding recipients and the programs. Standards for
Success accepts data submission by direct data input through the HUD-
funded GrantSolutions online data collection and reporting tool (OLDC)
and by data file upload, accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel
or Extensible Markup Language (XML).
Currently across HUD, there are several reporting models in place
for its discretionary programs. The reporting models provide
information on a wide variety of outputs and outcomes and are based on
unique data definitions and outcome measures in program-specific
performance and progress reports. In Federal Fiscal Year 2013, nine
program offices at HUD used six systems and 15 reporting tools to
collect over 700 data elements in support of varied metrics to assess
the performance of their funding recipients. The proposed data
collection and reporting requirements described in this notice are
designed to provide HUD programs a tested alternative to their existing
disparate reporting methodologies, forms, systems, and requirements.
The lack of standardized data collection and reporting requirements
imposes an increased burden on funding recipients with multiple HUD
funding streams. The need for a comprehensive standardized reporting
approach is underscored by reviews conducted by external oversight
agencies, including the HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the
Government Accountability Office (GAO). These oversight agencies have
questioned the soundness and comparability of data reported by HUD
prior to Standards for Success. To address these issues, HUD is using
its statutory and regulatory authority to improve and strengthen
performance reporting for its discretionary programs, ultimately
working towards a single comprehensive reporting approach.
The Secretary's statutory and regulatory authority to administer
housing and urban development programs include provisions allowing for
the requirement of performance reporting from funding recipients. This
legal authority is codified at 42 U.S.C. 3535(r). The individual
privacy of service recipients is of the highest priority. The reporting
repository established at HUD to receive data submission from funding
recipients will not include any personally identifiable information
(PII).
Eligible entities receiving funding by HUD are expected to
implement the proposed recordkeeping and reporting requirements with
available HUD funds. It is important to note that affected HUD funding
recipients only submit a subset of the universe of data elements
presented. The participating HUD program offices determine the specific
data collection and reporting requirements, which considers the type
and level of service provided by the respective HUD program.
The reporting requirements in this proposed information collection
better organize the data than participating programs collected in the
past, standardize outcomes and performance measures, and allow program
offices at HUD to select which data elements are relevant for their
respective programs. Documents detailing the data elements are
available for review by request from Anna P. Guido
(<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#82c3ecece3acd2acc5f7ebe6edc2eaf7e6ace5edf4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="eeaf80808fc0bec0a99b878a81ae869b8ac0898198">[email protected]</span></a>). All information reported to HUD will be
submitted electronically. Funding recipients may use existing
management information systems provided those systems collect all the
required data elements and can be exported for submission to HUD.
Funding recipients that sub-award funds to other organizations will
need to collect the required information from their sub-recipients.
Information collected and reported will be used by funding
recipients and HUD for the following purposes:
<bullet> To provide data for program evaluation;
<bullet> To provide program and performance information to
recipients, general public, Congress, and other stakeholders;
<bullet> To continuously improve the quality, effectiveness, and
efficiency of discretionary-funded programs;
<bullet> To provide management information for use by HUD in
program administration and oversight, including the scoring of
applications and the monitoring of funding-recipient participation,
services, and outcomes; and
<bullet> To better measure and analyze performance information to
identify successful practices to be replicated and prevent or correct
problematic practices and improve outcomes in compliance with the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the GPRA
Modernization Act.
The data collection and reporting requirements may expand to other
HUD programs. Program implementation will be determined by the program.
HUD will provide technical assistance to funding recipients throughout
the implementation.
