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). Section 522 of the PHS 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 
non-profit 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 
specifies 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 Annual Report Survey are as 
follows:
    <bullet> Reporting on all persons served with PATH Federal and 
matching State funds.
    Additional Optional Questions:

Table C

    <bullet> The number of Enrolled consumers placed into housing 
(Transitional, Supportive, or Permanent).
    <bullet> The number of Enrolled consumers who were assisted with 
successfully obtaining income benefits (SSI, SSDI, VA, etc.).
    <bullet> The number of Enrolled consumers who were assisted with 
successfully obtaining or increasing their earned income (employment).
    <bullet> The number of Enrolled consumers who were assisted with 
successfully obtaining medical insurance or coverage plans (Medicaid, 
Medicare, and/or State/local plans).
    <bullet> The number of Enrolled consumers who were assisted with 
successfully obtaining primary medical care.
    The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is 
summarized in the table below.
