Abstract: The Department of Veterans

administered a needs assessment in

authority for this data collection is
found under 38 U.S.C., Part I, Chapter

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
