Proposed Project: Evaluation of the
Projects for Assistance in Transition
From Homelessness (PATH) Program—
Reinstatement
SAMHSA is conducting the federally
mandated Evaluation of the PATH
program. The PATH grant program,
created as part of the Stewart B.
McKinney Homeless Assistance
Amendments Act of 1990, is
administered by SAMHSA’s CMHS’
Division of State and Community
Systems Development. The PATH
program is authorized under Section
521 et seq. of the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act, as amended. The SAMHSA
PATH program funds each Fiscal Year
the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, and four U.S. Territories
(the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands). The PATH grantees make
grants to local, public and non-profit
organizations to provide the PATH
allowable services.
The SAMHSA Administrator is
required under Section 528 of the PHS
Act to evaluate the expenditures of
PATH grantees at least once every three
years to ensure they are consistent with
legislative requirements and to
recommend changes to the program
design or operations.
The primary task of the PATH
evaluation is to meet the mandates of
Section 528 of the PHS Act. The second
task of the PATH evaluation is to
conduct additional data collection and
analysis to further investigate the
sources of variation in key program
output and outcome measures that are
important for program management and
policy development. The PATH
evaluation builds on the previous
evaluation which was finalized in 2016
and was conducted as part of the
National Evaluation of SAMHSA
Homeless Programs. Previously, the data
collections activities also included
PATH Intermediary Web Survey, a
PATH Provider Web Survey, and a
PATH Telephone Interview Guide. The
current PATH evaluation will be limited
to the State PATH Contact (SPC) Web
Survey and PATH Site Visit Discussion
Guides to facilitate the collection of
information regarding the structures and
processes in place at the grantee and
provider level. The SPC Web Survey
was shortened from 82 to 49 questions.
Data regarding the outputs and
outcomes of the PATH program will be
obtained from grantee applications,
providers’ intended use plans (IUPs)
and PATH annual report data, which is
also required by Section 528 of the PHS
Act and is approved under OMB No.
0930–0205.
Web Surveys will be conducted with
all State PATH Contacts (SPCs). The
Web Surveys will capture detailed and
structured information in the following
topics: selection, monitoring and
oversight of PATH providers;
populations served; the PATH allowable
or eligible services provided; sources for
match funds; provision of training and
technical assistance; implementation of
Evidence Based Practices (EBPs) and
innovative practices including the SSI/
SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery
program; data reporting, use of data and
the Homeless Management Information
System; and collaboration, coordination
and involvement with Continuums of
Care and other organizations. The SPCs
for all grantees (n=56) will be contacted
to complete the web surveys. The Web
Surveys will be administered once per
triennial evaluation cycle.
Site Visits will be conducted with a
purposive sample of PATH grantees and
providers to collect more nuanced
information than will be possible with
the web survey. Semi-structured
discussions will take place with the
SPCs, grantee staff, PATH provider staff
including the Project Director and other
key management staffs, outreach
workers, case managers and other
clinical treatment staff, and consumers.
Five grantees will be selected for Site
Visits and visited within each grantee
will be one to two PATH providers. The
Site Visits will be utilized to collect
information on provider and state
characteristics; practices and priorities;
context within which the grantees and
providers operate; and services available
within the areas the providers operate.
The successes, barriers, and strategies
faced by PATH grantees and providers
will also be discussed. Focus groups
will be held with current or former
consumers of the PATH program to
obtain consumer perspectives regarding
the impact of the programs. The Site
Visits will be conducted once per
triennial evaluation cycle.
The estimated burden for the
reporting requirements for the PATH
evaluation is summarized in the table
below.

Proposed Project: Projects for
Assistance in Transition From
Homelessness (PATH) Program Annual
Report (OMB No. 0930–0205)—Revision
SAMHSA awards grants each fiscal
year to each state, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands (hereafter referred to as
‘‘states’’), from allotments authorized
under the PATH program established by
Public Law 101–645, 42 U.S.C. 290cc–
21 et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Amendments Act
of 1990 [Section 521 et seq. of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act and the 21st
Century Cures Act (Pub. L. 114–255),
hereafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’].
Section 522 of the Act, specifies that
states must expend their payments
solely for making grants to political
subdivisions of the state, and to nonprofit private entities (including
community-based veterans’
organizations and other community
organizations) for the purpose of
providing services specified in the Act.
Available funding is allotted in
accordance with the formula provision
of section 524 of the PHS Act.
This submission is for the revision to
the approved PATH Annual Report
Manual. Section 528 of the Act
specifies, not later than January 31 of
each fiscal year, a funded entity will
‘‘prepare and submit to the Secretary a
report in such form and containing such
information as the Secretary determines
to be necessary for: (1) securing a record
and a description of the purposes for
Number of
respondents
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Respondents
which amounts received under Section
521 were expended during the
preceding fiscal year and of the
recipients of such amounts; and (2)
determining whether such amounts
were expended in accordance with the
provisions of this part.’’
The proposed revision to the PATH
2023 Annual Report Manual are as
follows:
Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS) Data Standards Updates
When needed, field response options
and questions have been updated to
align with the most recent version of the
HMIS Data Standards.
In July 2022, HUD released updated
HMIS programming specifications
(Version 3.6) for the PATH Annual
Report, which changed the instructions
for counting contacts in questions 12a
and 12b. HMIS vendors received these
programming updates and HUD
encouraged them to implement the
changes by October 1, 2022. When
providers run their PATH Annual
Report in HMIS, it should reflect
Version 3.6, including these most recent
programming changes. In October 2022,
SAMHSA launched a new PDX website
for State Path Contacts (SPCs) and
providers, who will use the site to enter
provider-level data for their PATH
Annual Report and progress reports.
User guides were created to describe the
features and functions of the new PDX
site and provides guidance for
reviewing and submitting PATH Annual
Reports, setting up and reviewing
progress reports, and accessing PATH
resources. The requested revisions will
not increase the overall burden.
The estimated annual burden for
these reporting requirements is
summarized in the table below.
