Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: There is an increase in the number of respondents. This submission to OMB includes a request for approval of an automated version of the Annual Performance Report that will incorporate continued annual reporting on HUD’s competitive Homeless Assistance Programs. The automated version of the Annual Performance Report replaces the former paper version (OMB Approval No. 2506-0145). The change in overall respondent burden for Homeless Assistance Programs decreases from 29.35 hours per program under the current version of the Annual Progress Report, to 28 hours per program under the new automated version. The AHAR data collection effort does not necessitate the collection of any additional information from homeless clients in a community. The community will aggregate client-level data that they are already required to collect for Performance Reports.
