SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: Public Law 102-405, Public Law 103-446 and Public Law 
105-114.
    Title: VHA Homeless Programs, Project CHALENG (Community 
Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups) for 
Veterans.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0843.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: In 1993 the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched 
Project CHALENG (Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and 
Networking Groups) for Veterans 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.
    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; grant applications are for VA, 
other Federal, local government, and community foundation dollars, 
which maximize community participation in serving homeless Veterans.
    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 of 
information was published at 83 FR 12847 on March 23, 2018 pages 12847-
12848.
