The Performance Progress Report will be used by the Office of Community Services to collect comparative date required to account for the expenditure of Federal funds, assess the progress and impact of the Community Economic Development (CED) program and provide feedback to assist grantees.
The data collected also fulfill the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for assessing program performance.

Form A will primarily collect the quantitative data about your project.
Please enter the page number and total number of pages in the report in the upper right corner
Please enter Items 1, 2, 3a, and 3b according to the instructions for the same items on the cover sheet.
Please enter the end date of the reporting period for this report in Item 4.
Column 1 lists the indicator number. The A corresponds to the form; the number corresponds to the sequential question or line of data, and the last letter (B, J, E, F) identifies the type of information requested. B indicates that these fields are related to new business creation information. J indicates that these fields are related to new job creation information. E indicates that these fields are related to participant employment information. F indicates that this field is related to leveraging additional funds.
Column 2 describes the program goal. For example, “New businesses created to employ low-income individuals.”
Column 3 describes the indicators of progress toward the goal in Column 2 to be used to report in the rest of the columns in the row. Indicators are measurable elements of the desired results of the program. For example, “The # of new businesses created” and “The # of new businesses created that have stayed in operation for AT LEAST 12 months.”
Column 4 describes where the project started on this goal. This is described by entering the value of the indicator at the start of [the project, the year or the reporting period- a decision you will want to make]. For example at the beginning of [project/year/reporting period] 10 jobs may have been created, so at the beginning of the [next period] the baseline for the # of jobs created would be 10. In the first [year/reporting period or at the beginning of the project] this number would be 0. In subsequent reports, this number would be the same number that was entered in the “actual to date” column in the previous report.
Column 5 describes the final target for the project. So continuing the example, if the project expects to create 25 jobs at the end of the project, this number would be 25. This number will not change from one reporting period to another.
Column 6 documents the grantees cumulative progress towards the project goal. For example, at the end of the second year the grantee may have created a total of 27 jobs, two more than it had planned on.
Column 7 provides the grantee space to provide any additional data that the OCS Project Specialist might need to better understand the data. For example, the grantee may use this space to explain any variance between actual performance (Column 7) and the performance target (Column 5 or 6)
Objectives & Goals and Indicators –
The table below has five columns:
Column 1, “Indicator number,” contains the corresponding question number on the PPR form A.
Column 2, “Indicator,” contains the question, or data element, requested on the PPR form.
Column 3, “Description of Indicator,” contains a description of the data requested. In some cases, the description in this column refers to just one indicator; in others, it pertains to multiple related indicators. This description elaborates on the questions in the PPR and provides clarification on the data requested. In cases where the description applies to multiple indicators, it clarifies relationships between the multiple indicators.
Column 4, “Check your data,” defines relationships among related answers. The inequalities listed in each cell specify which data elements are subsets of other data elements and should therefore contain numbers that are not greater than the answers for which they are a subset. You should use the information in this column to ensure you filled out the PPR form properly.
Column 5, “Example,” provides sample scenarios and how the data would be recorded in the PPR.
The objectives and goals describe the information that OCS wants the grantee not only to collect, but to include in the grant and annual planning. Given the diversity of CED projects, not all of the objectives will apply to every grantee.

A-02-B |
# of new businesses that were created AT LEAST 12 months ago |
These two indicators measure how many of the businesses that were created with CED funds at least 12 months ago remained in existence after 12 months. The purpose of these indicators is to measure the longevity of the businesses that have been created, while correcting for businesses that were created less than 12 months ago. This allows OCS to accurately calculate the percentage of new businesses lasting at least 12 months without having businesses less than 12 months old skew the result. NOTE: Businesses created more than 12 months ago that lasted at least 12 months but have since folded should still be counted in A-03-B.

Specific examples for how to count individuals employed in CED-created jobs
For all three examples that follow, assume you created Business A with your CED funds and that it is September 2010.
Example 1: John was hired at Business A in July 2009. When he was hired, he qualified as a low-income individual. He was also a TANF recipient. He still holds a job at Business A. John would be counted in each of the following categories:
A-15-E - # of low-income individuals employed in jobs created
A-16-E - # of low-income individuals employed who were TANF recipients
A-21-E - Total # of low-income individuals who were hired into a CED-created job AT LEAST six months ago
A-22-E - Total # of low-income individuals who retained their jobs for AT LEAST six consecutive months
A-23-E - # of TANF recipients who were hired into a CED-created job AT LEAST six months ago
A-24-E - Total # of individuals who were TANF recipients who retained their jobs for AT LEAST six consecutive months
Example 2: Mary was hired at Business A in June 2009. When she was hired, she qualified as a low-income individual. Mary stayed with Business A until July 2010 and then left. Mary would be counted in each of the following categories:
A-15-E - Total # of low-income individuals employed in jobs created
A-21-E - Total # of low-income individuals who were hired into a CED-created job AT LEAST six months ago
A-22-E - Total # of low-income individuals who retained their jobs for AT LEAST six consecutive months
Example 3: Charlie was hired at Business A in February 2010. At the time he was hired, he qualified as a low-income individual. He was also a TANF recipient. He left the job at Business A in April 2010. Charlie would be counted in each of the following categories:
A-15-E - Total # of low-income individuals employed in jobs created
A-16-E - # of low-income individuals employed who were TANF recipients
A-21-E - Total # of low-income individuals who were hired into a CED-created job AT LEAST six months ago
