Title: VHA Homeless Programs— 

Project CHALENG (Community 

Homelessness Assessment, Local 

Education and Networking Groups) for 

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 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection
