This page provides guidance regarding the Annual Progress Report (APR) under the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program.

The APR format is for the use of:

1. HOPWA competitive grantees and
2. HOPWA formula grantees that choose to use it in addition to the Department's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). This guidance is provided to help ensure that information on the performance of HOPWA grants is reported in a manner that allows for public accountability in the use of these federal funds and addresses statutory requirements at 42 U.S.C. 12911. This memorandum updates information provided in correspondence to HOPWA grantees and a memorandum to CPD Field Office Division Directors, "Issuance of the HOPWA Annual Progress Report" of August 5, 1994.

Alert on Annual Performance Reporting in Logic Models, Draft APR Updates

In reviewing and reporting your annual performance, each HOPWA competitive grantee selected should make use of a standard form Logic Model in addition to the HOPWA APR. This form was part of the SuperNOFA for use by applicants and is to be used by grant recipients to report on activities under HUD programs. In addition, a new form for reporting on race and ethnic data of beneficiaries was part of the 2004 SuperNOFA. The most recent copies of these forms and instructions are as follows:

Background on the Use of Logic Model Forms

All HOPWA Competitive grant recipients must complete and attach an updated Logic Model with their APR. The logic model should illustrate how your plans for the use of resources resulted in outputs for the annual reporting and any client outcomes during the last operating year. Period is established in your signed grant agreement with HUD. Your updated Logic Model must be included as an attachment to the HOPWA Annual Progress Report (APR) and should include both the required HOPWA elements any optional elements that you established in your application to HUD. Please follow your evaluation plan or stated method for collecting data on HUD program measures to show achievements of your project goals and objectives. Also, please report on how you established a baseline for client outcomes.

Grant recipients must conduct activities consistent with their planned annual performance output goals, objectively measure actual achievements against anticipated achievements, and report on their actual performance housing outputs and client outcomes. Applicants must establish a reasonable client outcome goal for achieving housing stability. HUD expects that each HOPWA grantee will show that a significant number of beneficiaries achieve stable housing in their program during the operating year.

The NOFA established these requests:

1. Required Output. The project number of low-income households with persons living with HIV/AIDS expected to benefit from HOPWA assistance by the type of housing support to be provided through your project during each operating year.
2. Required Outcome. Through the use of HOPWA housing assistance and related supportive services, the number of eligible persons shown annually to have established or maintained housing stability, along with reduced risks of homelessness, and improved access to health care, and other support for eligible persons.

Background on the Use of Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Forms

This form updates the method used throughout the federal government for reporting this demographic information on program beneficiaries. Grantees must complete and submit the form HUD-27061 (10/2003) Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Form with their APR.

If you have questions on this information, you can contact your area HUD Office of Community Planning and Development, which administers your grant, or the HUD Headquarters Office of HIV/AIDS Housing at HOPWA@hud.gov.
