The PATH program provides funding to help States and territories provide flexible, community-based services for individuals with serious mental illnesses who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. There is a statutory requirement that States and territories receiving funding under this formula grant program provide a report not later than January 31 a description of the purposes for which funds were expended during the preceding fiscal year and of the recipients of the monies, and determining whether such amounts were expended in accordance with the provisions of the legislation.

Currently, there are 8,145 hours for States and Local Providers in the OMB inventory and 1,250 hours for Federal Government and contractors for a total of 9,395 hours. SAMHSA is requesting a revision of total burden hours to 9,230 hours. This request leads to a decrease of 165 hours due to a decrease in the number of PATH providers.
