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: Pending.
Type of Request: New.
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
by the Homeless Emergency Assistance
and Rapid Transition to Housing
(HEARTH) Act) 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, now requires
communities to measure their
performance as a coordinated system, in
addition to analyzing performance by
specific projects or 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 person-level information about
homeless persons who access a
community’s homeless service system.
Over the past decade, 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.
