DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-0361.
Project: Projects for Assistance in Transition From Homelessness (PATH)
Program Annual Report Manual (OMB No. 0930-0205)--Revision
SAMHSA awards PATH grants each fiscal year to states, the District
of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
(hereafter referred to as ``states''), from allotments authorized under
the PATH program established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C. 290cc-21
et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of
1990 [Section 521 et seq. of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and
the 21st Century Cures Act (Pub. L. 114-255), hereafter referred to as
``the Act'']. Section 522 of the Act specifies that states must expend
their payments
[[Page 16021]]
solely for making grants to political subdivisions of the state, and to
non-profit private entities (including community-based veterans'
organizations and other community organizations) for the purpose of
providing services specified in the Act. Available funding is allotted
in accordance with the formula provision of Section 524 of the PHS Act.
This submission is for a revision to the approved PATH Annual Report
Manual. Section 528 of the Act specifies, not later than January 31 of
each fiscal year, a funded entity will ``prepare and submit to the
Secretary a report in such form and containing such information as the
Secretary determines to be necessary for: (1) securing a record and a
description of the purposes for which amounts received under Section
521 were expended during the preceding fiscal year and of the
recipients of such amounts; and (2) determining whether such amounts
were expended in accordance with the provisions of this part.''
The proposed revisions to the PATH 2020 Annual Report Manual are as
follows: Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Standards
updates.
When needed, field response options and questions have been updated
to align with the most recent version of the HMIS Data Standards.
In July 2022, HUD released updated HMIS programming specifications
(Version 3.6) for the PATH Annual Report, which changed the
instructions for counting contacts in questions 12a and 12b. HMIS
vendors received these programming updates and HUD encouraged them to
implement the changes by October 1, 2022. When providers run their PATH
Annual Report in HMIS, it should reflect Version 3.6, including these
most recent programming changes. In October 2022, SAMHSA launched a new
PDX website for State Path Contacts (SPCs) and providers, who will use
the site to enter provider-level data for their PATH Annual Report and
progress reports. User guides were created to describe the features and
functions of the new PDX site and provides guidance for reviewing and
submitting PATH Annual Reports, setting up and reviewing progress
reports, and accessing PATH resources.
The requested revisions will not increase the overall burden.
The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is
summarized in the table below.
