Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless Youth 
Management Information System (NEORHYMIS)
    OMB No.: 0970-0123.
    Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as amended 
by Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.), mandates that the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to 
Congress on the status of HHS-funded programs serving runaway and 
homeless youth. Organizations funded under the Runaway and Homeless 
Youth (RHY) program are required by section 312(b)(7) of the statute to 
meet several data collection and reporting requirements. These 
requirements include maintenance of client statistical records and 
submission of annual program reports profiling the characteristics of 
the youth and families served and the services provided to them. The 
October 2003 reauthorization of the Act maintained the requirements as 
described in the standing legislation.
    Data from the National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless 
Youth Management Information System (NEORHYMIS) support grantee 
organizations as they carry out a variety of integrated, ongoing 
responsibilities and projects. These include meeting statutory and 
regulatory reporting requirements, maintaining program service and 
management information for internal uses, tracking youth in their 
programs, accountability monitoring, management improvement, research, 
and evaluation.
    Respondents: Recipients of grants from the HHS/ACF/Family and Youth 
Services Bureau to operate emergency shelters for runaway youth, 
transitional programs for homeless youth, and street outreach programs.
