Title of Proposal: Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP)
Outcome Monitoring System.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0190.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Housing Agencies (HAs) that receive PHDEP grants are subject to certain
reporting requirements (24 CFR 961.28) in connection with grant
administration. The Outcome Monitoring System assists grantees in
fulfilling their reporting requirements without undue burden. Grantees
are required to provide the local HUD Area Office with a semi-annual
performance report that
[[Page 5017]]
evaluates the grantee's performance against its plan. These reports
shall include in summary form (but are not limited to) the following:
any change or lack of change in crime statistics. . . .'' In HUD has
required grantees to develop an evaluation process to measure the
effects of the PHDEP-funded activities on the drug-related problems in
the targeted developments. The grantees conduct very diverse activities
in their local PHDEP programs. Certain key characteristics and goals
are, however, common to most local PHDEP programs. The Outcome
Monitoring System is a structured means of collecting information, from
all PHDEP grantees, that will address the changes in drug-related
problems at targeted developments.
