The revision includes enhancements to the format of the online Strategic Tracking and Reporting Tool (START), collection of related data from an online Classification Tool, and contact verification information from an electronic postcard data collection. The data collection will assist HUD in obtaining up-to-date information regarding Neighborhood Networks centers.
