Abstract: The Office of Community Services (OCS) Community Economic Development (CED) PPR data collection was approved on February 28, 2026, with minimal updates to the existing PPR. The approved PPR continues to require grant recipients to complete the CED-specific PPR form (OMB #0970-0386) to provide narrative updates on project activities, accomplishments, challenges, expenditures, and implementation efforts with question prompts specific to the use of CED funding for the project. CED grant recipients awarded prior to FY 2025 complete the full PPR in the second and fourth quarters of every project year. Grant Recipients awarded FY 2025 and later also complete the full PPR in the second and fourth quarters of every project year, in addition to completing a subset of items from the CED PPR (called the CED PPR Short Form) in the first and third quarters. The CED PPR Short Form does not include quantitative measures and focuses on narrative descriptions of project activities, challenges, and changes. OCS is not requesting any changes to the PPR forms themselves, but requests five changes to the two instructions documents for grant recipients to use when completing both the full and short form of the PPR. The edits to these documents include: 1) updating to the latest CED logo, 2) changing the word ‘jobs’ to ‘positions’ wherever feasible to encourage uniformity, 3) adding a cover page and introductory section to the CED PPR Short Form and Instructions document, 4) adding language to encourage grant recipients to reference the applicable Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for more specific information about reporting expectations and cadence, and 5) minor wording changes to improve readability and ensure congruency with ACF copyediting standards.
