information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Authority: Public Law 102–405,
Public Law 103–446 and Public Law
105–114.
Title: VHA Homeless Programs,
Project CHALENG (Community
Homelessness Assessment, Local
Education and Networking Groups) for
Veterans.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0843.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: In 1993 the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project
CHALENG (Community Homelessness
Assessment, Local Education and
Networking Groups) for Veterans in
response to Public Law 102–405 which
required VA to make an assessment of
the needs of homeless Veterans in
coordination with other Federal
departments, state and local government
agencies, and nongovernmental agencies
with experience working with homeless
persons. Since 1993, VA has
administered a needs assessment in
accordance with guidance in Public Law
103–446 and Public Law 105–114.
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;
grant applications are for VA, other
Federal, local government, and
community foundation dollars, which
maximize community participation in
serving homeless Veterans.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden:
Veteran Survey—10–10161—500 hours.
Provider Assessment—10–10162—705
hours.
