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 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 
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.
