Title: National Outcomes Performance Assessment of the Collaborative Initiative to Help End Chronic Homelessness
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 10/02/2003
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/30/2003
Terms of Clearance: Approved for one year, consistent with changes listed in SAMHSA memo dated 9/9/2003. SAMHSA will work with VA and HUD to explore and examine ways of constructing meaningful comparison groups for as many of the sites as practical to provide a better evaluation of client outcomes. Agencies should also work with the funded sites to identify opportunities for creating comparison groups by tracking persons who are not in the program through survey data collections and/or existing administrative records. If no practical options exist for collection of comparison group data, analysis plans must be developed to benchmark the results to similar studies on this population. The agencies will report back to OMB upon resubmission of this ICR in one year on the results of their examination of potential comparisons and plans to augment the current research design to comply with these terms of clearance. For resubmission, OMB will waive the 60 day Federal Register Notice and SAMHSA will submit the 30 day Federal Register Notice concurrent with OMB resubmission. At that time, OMB will approve the ICR (if the above stated terms are met) for the remaining 2 years of the study.
