SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Data Collection and Reporting for
HUD's Continuum of Care Program--Annual Performance Report and System
Performance Report.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0145.
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 clearance of data collection and reporting to enable the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of
[[Page 83036]]
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) 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, requires communities to measure their performance as a
coordinated system, in addition to analyzing performance of specific
projects and 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 project-level and person-level information about
homeless persons who access a community's homeless service system. Over
the past two decades, 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.
In addition to a CoC's HMIS data, the system-level performance
measures will also rely on data collected by CoCs as part of their
Point-in-Time (PIT) count efforts. CoCs are required by HUD to complete
a sheltered PIT count of all homeless persons who are sheltered in
emergency shelter, transitional housing, and Safe Havens and a count of
unsheltered persons on a single night in January at least once every
other year. HUD incentivizes annual participation in the sheltered and
unsheltered PIT count through its annual CoC Program Competition. HUD
releases a Notice which outlines its data collection guidance for the
PIT count and the Housing Inventory Count (HIC), which is an annual
point-in-time inventory of projects within a CoC that provide beds and
units dedicated to serve persons who are homeless. jurisdictions. These
standards are described in HUD's HMIS Data Standards.
