Title: Runaway and Homeless Youth

Management Information System.

OMB No.: 0970–0123.

Description: In the Runaway and

Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5701 et

seq.) Congress mandated that the

Department of Health and Human

Services (HHS) report regularly on the

status of HHS-funded programs serving

Runaway and homeless youth in Basic

Center programs (BC), Transitional

Living programs (TLP) and Street

Outreach programs. Organizations

funded under the Runaway and

Homeless Youth program are required

by statute (42 U.S.C. 5712, 42 U.S.C.

5714–2) to meet several data collection

and reporting requirements, including

maintaining client statistical records

and submitting annual program reports

regarding the profile of the youth and

families served and the services

provided to them. The RHYMIS data

supports these organizations as they

carry out a variety of integrated, ongoing

responsibilities and projects, including

legislative reporting requirements,

planning and public policy

development for runaway and homeless

youth programs, accountability

monitoring, program management,

research, and evaluation. RHYMIS has

been redesigned and streamlined to

reduce the collection burden upon

respondents and to capture key

information previously not requested.

Respondents: Not-for-profit

institutions.
