Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, provided authority
for VA's Homeless Programs Office (HPO) to grant funding to eligible
organizations that will coordinate or provide legal services to
Veterans who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Several sections,
including section 4202, of the Act were created to better serve
Veterans who are struggling with homelessness or housing insecurity.
Requests for funding by applicants are likely to exceed the amount of
funding appropriated to the VA for these grants. The VA must collect
data to prioritize applicants for funding. The legal authority for this
data collection is found under 38 U.S.C., Part I, Chapter 5, Section
527, which authorizes the collection of data that will allow
measurement and evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs
Programs, the goal of which is to improve health care and services for
Veterans. This information collection includes grant eligibility
criteria, application requirements, scoring criteria, constraints on
the allocation and use of the funds, and other requirements necessary
to implement this grant program.
HPO will use information collected to determine if an applicant is
eligible to receive grant funding. HPO also will obtain information
necessary to ensure that federal funds are awarded to applicants who
are financially stable and have the capacity to conduct the program for
which a grant is awarded. HPO could not perform its statutory
obligation to administer the program if this data were not collected.
There are increases in the anticipated number of responses and burden
hours based upon program data since the last PRA clearance.
The following forms will be used to collect data for the LSV-H
Grant Program:
VA Form 10-318a--Application: This form will be used to collect
data from eligible entities applying to be LSV-H grant recipients. The
items required in this application are used to determine if an
applicant can provide legal services to Veterans. The scoring criteria
is at VA's discretion and is not mandated by the statute.
VA Form 10-318b--Renewal Application: This form will be used to
collect data from existing grantees that were previously awarded LSV-H
grants.
VA Form 10-319a--Quarterly Grantee Performance Report: HPO will
collect this information to ensure that grantees comply with program
requirements described in 38 CFR part 79 and their grant agreements.
VA Form 10-319b--Budget Changes and Corrective Action Plan (CAP):
This information is needed for a grantee to inform HPO of significant
changes that will alter their approved grant program. HPO may require
grantees to initiate and develop corrective action plans and submit
them to VA for approval.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at 91 FR 8310, February 20, 2026.
