1. Provide Increased Homeownership and Rental Opportunities for Low- and ModerateIncome Persons, Persons with Disabilities, the Elderly, Minorities, and Families with
Limited English Proficiency.

6. Ending Chronic Homelessness within Ten Years.

Column 2: Problem, Need, or Situation: Provide a general statement of need that
provides the rationale for the proposed service or activity.

Column 3: Service or Activity: Identify the activities or services that you are
undertaking in your work plan, which are crucial to the success of your program. Not
every activity or service yields a direct outcome.

Column 4 and Column 5: Benchmarks: These columns ask you to identify
benchmarks that will be used in measuring the progress of your services or activities.
Column 4 asks for specific interim or final products (called outputs) that you establish for
your program’s services or activities. Column 5 should identify the results associated
with the product or output. These may be numerical measures characterizing the results
of a program activity, service or intervention and are used to measure performance.
These outputs should lead to targets for achievement of outcomes. Results should be
represented by both the actual # and % of the goal achieved.
Column 4: Benchmarks/Output Goal: Set quantifiable output goals, including
timeframes. These should be products or interim products, which will allow you
and HUD to monitor and assess your progress in achieving your program
workplan.
Column 5: Benchmark/ Output Result: Report actual result of your
benchmarks. The actual result could be number of housing units developed or
rehabilitated, jobs created, or number of persons assisted. Outputs may be short,
intermediate or long-term. (Do not fill out this section with the application)

Column 6 and Column 7: Outcomes: Column 6 and Column 7 ask you to report on
your expected and actual outcomes – the ultimate impact you hope to achieve. Column 6
asks you to identify outcomes in terms of the impact on the community, people’s lives,
changes in economic or social status, etc. Column 7 asks for the actual result of the
outcome measure listed in Column 6, which should be updated as applicable.

Column 6: Outcomes/ Goals: Identify the outcomes that resulted in broader
impacts for individuals, families/households, and/or the community. For example,
the program may seek to improve the environmental conditions in a
neighborhood, increase affordable housing, increase the assets of a low-income
family, or improve self-sufficiency.
Proxy Outcome(s): Often direct measurement of the intended outcome is difficult
or even impossible -- to measure. In these cases, applicants/grantees should use
a proxy or surrogate measure that corresponds with the desired outcome. For
example, improving quality of life in a neighborhood could be measured by a
proxy indicator such as increases in home prices or decreases in crime. Training
programs could be measured by the participant’s increased wages or reading
skills. The person receiving the service must meet eligibility requirements of the
program.
Column 7: Outcomes/Actual Result: Identify specific achievements of
outcomes listed in Column 6. (Do not fill out this section with the application)

Column 8: Measurement Reporting Tools: (a) List the tools used to track output or
outcome information (e.g., survey instrument; attendance log; case report; pre-post test;
waiting list; etc); (b) Identify the place where data is maintained, e.g. central database;
individual case records; specialized access database, tax assessor database; local precinct;
other; (c) Identify the location, e.g. on-site; subcontractor; other; (d) Indicate how often
data is required to be collected, who will collect it and how often data is reported to
HUD; and (e) Describe methods for retrieving data, e.g. data from case records is
retrieved manually, data is maintained in an automated database. This tool will be
available for HUD review and monitoring and should be used in submitting reporting
information.

Column 9: Evaluation Process: Identify the methodology you will periodically use to
assess your success in meeting your benchmark output goals and output results, outcomes
associated to the achievement of the purposes of the program, as well as the impact that
the work has made on the individuals assisted, the community, and the strategic goals of
the Department. If you are not meeting the goals and results projected for your
performance period, the evaluation process should be used as a tool to ensure that you
can adjust schedules, timing, or business practices to ensure that goals are met within
your performance period.
