Management Information System (RHY-HMIS; New Collection)
AGENCY: Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB); Administration on
Children, Youth and Families (ACYF); Administration for Children and
Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF),
Family and Youth Services Bureau has a legislative requirement to
collect and maintain client statistical records on the numbers and the
characteristics of runaway and homeless youth, and youth at risk of
family separation, who receive shelter and supportive services through
the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program funding. RHY data
collection is integrated with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB is required to
make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and
60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The RHY Program has a requirement to collect
information from all youth who receive shelter and supportive services
with RHY funding. In April 2015, ACYF, through a formal Memorandum of
Understanding, integrated the RHY data collection with HUD's HMIS and
HUD's data standards along with other federal partners. HUD's data
standards has its own OMB clearance, but ACYF is requesting approval
for the RHY data collection efforts as HUD's will no longer include all
federal partners. The data collection instrument includes universal
data elements, which are collected by all federal partners and program
specific elements, which are tailored to each program using HUD's HMIS.
Respondents: Youth who receive emergency and longer-term shelter
and supportive services under RHY funding. RHY grantees who enter and
upload data.
