Project: Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) 
Program Annual Report (OMB No. 0930-0205)--Revision

    The Center for Mental Health Services awards grants each fiscal 
year to each of the states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth 
of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from allotments authorized 
under the PATH program established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C. 
290cc-21 et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Amendments Act of 1990 (section 521 et seq. of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act) and the 21st Century Cures Act (114-255 Pub. L). 
Section 522 of the PHS Act and the 21st Century Cures Act requires that 
the grantee states and territories must expend their payments under the 
Act solely for making grants to political subdivisions of the state, 
and to nonprofit private entities (including community-based veterans' 
organizations and other community organizations) for the purpose of 
providing services specified in the Act. Available funding is allotted 
in accordance with the formula provision of section 524 of the PHS Act.
    This submission is for a revision of the current approval of the 
annual grantee reporting requirements. Section 528 of the PHS Act and 
the 21st Century Cures Act specify that not later than January 31 of 
each fiscal year, a funded entity will prepare and submit a report in 
such form and containing such information as is determined necessary 
for securing a record and description of the purposes for which amounts 
received under section 521 were expended during the preceding fiscal 
year and of the recipients of such amounts and determining whether such 
amounts were expended in accordance with statutory provisions.
    The proposed changes to the PATH 2020 Annual Report are as follows:

1. HMIS Data Standards updates

    When needed, field response options and questions have been updated 
to align with the most recent version of the HMIS Data Standards.
    Effective October 1, 2019, the HMIS Data Standards have been 
further updated. The changes in the HMIS Data Standards are reflected 
in this version of the PATH Annual Report Manual, and include:

--Updates to response categories for Living Situation
--Addition of an ``Unable to Locate Client'' response option to PATH 
Status

[[Page 28968]]

--Addition of a demographic question on history with domestic violence

    The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is 
summarized in the table below.
