Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups) for 
Veterans, VA Forms 10-10161 and 10-10162.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0843.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project 
CHALENG (Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and 
Networking Groups) for Veterans in 1993 in response to Public Law 102-
405, which required VA to make an assessment of the needs of homeless 
Veterans in coordination with other Federal departments, state and 
local government agencies, and nongovernmental agencies with experience 
working with homeless persons. Since 1993, VA has administered a needs 
assessment in accordance with guidance in Public Law 103-446 and Public 
Law 105-114. Legal authority for this data collection is found under 38 
U.S.C., Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527 that authorizes the collection 
of data that will allow measurement and evaluation of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs Programs, the goal of which is improved health care 
for Veterans.
    This collection of information is necessary to ensure that VA and 
community partners are developing services that are responsive to the 
needs of local homeless Veterans, in order to end homelessness and 
prevent new Veterans from experiencing homelessness. Over the years, 
data from CHALENG has assisted VA in developing new services for 
Veterans, such as the Homeless Veteran Dental Program (HVDP), the 
expansion of the Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA 
Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, the Veterans Justice Programs 
and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In addition, 
community organizations use CHALENG data in grant applications to 
support services for homeless Veterans. These grant applications are 
for VA and other Federal, local government, and community foundation 
dollars, which maximize community participation in serving homeless 
Veterans.
    This collection will be an update of a collection approved in 2018. 
Revisions to the collection were made based on input provided by VA 
staff members to reduce the number of questions in the surveys. The 
collection consists of two forms/surveys: One for Veterans (VA Form 10-
10161) and one for VA staff members, community homeless providers, and 
interested community members (VA Form 10-10162). The only difference 
between the two forms/surveys are the introductory demographic 
questions; the survey is the same for both groups.
    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 86 FR 125 on July 02, 2021, pages 35380 
and 35381.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: Total = 480 hours.
