Performance Reporting for
Competitively-Funded Grants.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: Regular.
Type of Information Collection: New.
Form Numbers: HUD–PRL, HUD–
CIRL, HUD–GF.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
This request is for the clearance of
data collection and reporting
requirements to enable the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Office of Strategic
Planning and Management (OSPM) to
better assess the effectiveness of
competitively-funded grants included in
this information collection request
(ICR). The competitively–funded grant
programs included in this ICR are:
Community Development Block Grant
Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska
Native Villages (ICDBG), Family SelfSufficiency Program (FSS), Housing
Counseling (HC), Housing Opportunities
for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA),
JobsPlus Program (Jobs+), Juvenile
Reentry Assistance Program (JRAP),
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control
(LBPHC), Lead Hazard Reduction
Demonstration (LHRD), Self-Help
Homeownership Opportunity Program
(SHOP), Supportive Services
Demonstration Program (202), and
Resident Opportunity and Self
Sufficiency Service Coordinators
Program (ROSS).
A key component of this proposed
collection is the reporting of
measureable outcomes. Additionally,
the standardization of data collection
and reporting requirements across the
Department will increase data
comparability and utilization.
Consolidation of de-identified data
drawn from pre-existing HUD systems
and databases, as applicable, into a
single repository will enhance the
Department’s comprehensive and
comparative analysis of competitivelyfunded HUD programs. Data submission
will be acceptable via Comma Separated
Values (CSV), Extensible Markup
Language (XML), and other file formats

in addition to direct data entry into an
online Web form.
The Department has several reporting
models in place for competitive grant
programs, including the eLogic Model.
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 competitively-funded.
The proposed data collection and
reporting requirements described in this
notice are designed to replace the use of
the eLogic Model and other report forms
and requirements.
The lack of standardized data
collection and reporting requirements
imposes an increased burden on
grantees with multiple grant awards
from HUD. The need for a
comprehensive and standardized
reporting approach is underscored by
reviews conducted by external oversight
agencies, including the Department’s
Office of Inspector General (OIG) and
the Government Accountability Office
(GAO). These oversight agencies have
questioned the validity and
comparability of data reported by the
Department. To address these issues, the
Department is using its statutory and
regulatory authority to redesign and
strengthen performance reporting for
many of its competitive grant programs
into a single comprehensive 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 grantees. 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 grantees will not
include any personally identifying
information (PII). Additionally, if the
data for a grant has 25 or fewer
individuals served during a fiscal year
as reported in the record-level reports,
then the results for the demographic
data elements for the 25 or fewer
individuals will also be redacted or
removed from the public-use data file
and any publicly available analytical
products in order to ensure the inability
to identify any individual.
Eligible entities awarded grants by the
Department are expected to implement
the proposed recordkeeping and
reporting requirements with available
