Title: VHA Homeless Programs—
Project CHALENG (Community
Homelessness Assessment, Local

Veterans.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0843.

PRASearch.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) launched Project
CHALENG (Community Homelessness
Assessment, Local Education and
Networking Groups) for Veterans in
1993 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. Legal
authority for this data collection is
found under 38 U.S.C., part I, chapter 5,
section 527 that authorizes the
collection of data that will allow
measurement and evaluation of the
Department of Veterans Affairs
Programs, the goal of which is improved
health care for Veterans.
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;
these grant applications are for VA,
other Federal, local government, and
community foundation dollars, which
maximize community participation in
serving homeless Veterans.
This collection will be a renewal of
the collection approved in 2021. No
revisions have been made to the
questions; however, revisions to the
burden hours are based upon the
number of respondents in the previous
year. The collection consists of two
survey forms: one for Veterans (VA
Form 10–10161) and one for VA staff
members, community homeless
providers, and interested community
members (VA Form 10–10162). The
only differences between the two survey
forms are the introductory demographic
questions; otherwise, the survey is the
same for both groups.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register

soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 89 FR
