This request is for the continued
clearance of data collection and reporting requirements to enable
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office
of Business Transformation (OBT) to better assess the effectiveness
of discretionary-funded programs included in this information
collection request (ICR). The discretionary-funded programs
included in this ICR are the Multifamily Housing Service
Coordinator Grant Program, the Multifamily Housing Budget-Based
Service Coordinator Program, and the Resident Opportunity and Self
Sufficiency Service Coordinator Grant Program (ROSS). This proposed
collection, titled Standards for Success, has three key tenets
which vastly improve data collection and reporting for
participating programs. First is the standardization of data
collection and reporting requirements across programs which
increases data comparability and utilization. Second is the ability
to report on measurable outcomes and aligning them with
higher-level agency objectives. And third is the collection of
record-level data, instead of aggregate data. Collecting
de-identified data at the level of the service recipient allows for
more meaningful analysis, improved management, and the ability to
demonstrate the progress and achievements of the funding recipients
and the programs. Standards for Success accepts data submission by
direct data input through the HUD-funded GrantSolutions online data
collection and reporting tool (OLDC) and by data file upload,
accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel or Extensible Markup
Language (XML).

Prior forms were removed
because the HUD programs that would use those forms are not
participating in this information collection request. Thus, those
forms will not be used. Burden was increased because participating
HUD programs expanded the implementation of this information
collection request to all funding-recipients within those
programs.
