Abstract: The Office of Community Services (OCS) is collecting key information about projects funded through the Community Economic Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals (JOLI) programs. The legislative requirement for these two programs is in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) of October 27, 1998, Public Law 105-285, section 680(b) as amended. The Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a new proposed reporting format that will collect information concerning the outcomes and management of CED and JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to critically review the overall design and effectiveness of each program. The PPR will be administered to all active grantees of the CED and JOLI programs twice a year. Grantees will be required to use this reporting tool for their semiannual reports. The majority of the questions in this tool were adapted from a previously approved questionnaire, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number: 0970-0317. Questions were also adapted to the OMB-approved reporting format of the PPR, specifically forms SF-PPR, SF-PPR-A, SF-PPR-B, and SF-PPR-E. Additional changes were made to improve the clarity and quality of the data and to eliminate unnecessary questions. The PPR will replace both the annual questionnaire and the current semiannual reporting format, which will result in an overall reduction in burden for the grantees while significantly improving the quality of the data collected by OCS.
