Also find technical edits that are needed in using the new HOPWA report forms, form HUD-40110-C & D revised 1/2006--the APR and CAPER, which are expected to be further updated in 2007.

However, in using the forms this year, please refer to these small edits and errata. One change to note involves the worksheet attached to the APR as page 23, which was added to show how HUD will review data collected under the new client outcome measure and how use of STRMU efforts support clients. Please use this revised statement as guidance on how this reporting effort will be reviewed by HUD.

The STRMU efforts play a significant role in reducing the risks of homelessness for clients receiving this support--albeit in that short-term or temporary context. The worksheet reflects this updated view that was developed in consultations with grantees attending the first of this years training sessions, in Kansas City. The edits will help evaluate how the STRMU efforts have beneficial results as a temporary homelessness prevention effort and can help clients better connect to more permanent housing and access to care, where needed.

The reports represent a collaboration by the Office of HIV/AIDS Housing along with a number of grant recipients and HUD field offices whose feedback and field testing of the report formats was enormously helpful in their development. These updated reports will provide HUD, HOPWA grantees, and the public with critical data on the program's key housing output and client outcome performance factors.

These reports represent the first comprehensive updating of HOPWA performance reporting requirements under this new client outcome focus. Many of the standard data elements are being continued, such as reporting on how funds are used to provide housing support for beneficiaries under the eligible housing activities.

New elements are designed to improve the understanding of the benefits to clients and for key information on local project operations. These report elements will be used for reporting data at the national level on the program's overall performance and for grants management oversight. Through the utilization of these reporting requirements, grantees will be able to identify adjustments, where needed, to improve the responsiveness and efficiency of these community efforts. Importantly, the use of these reports are consistent with implementing the central purpose of this federal program, in assisting HOPWA clients achieve more stable housing arrangements and thereby improving their access to care.
