Performance Report Cover Tab
Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program Revi s ed: 11/14/2022
Consolidated APR /CAPER ̶ HOPWA Provider
OMB Number 2506-0133 (Expiration Date: 12/31/2024)
Overview
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40.0 hours, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Performance Reports for HOPWA formula grantees and competitive grantees provide HUD with annual information to support program evaluation and measure program beneficiary outcomes related to maintaining housing stability; preventing homelessness; and improving access to care and support. This collection of information consolidates the information in the APR and CAPER reports and clarifies reporting requirements, which will allow HUD’s Office of HIV/AIDS Housing to better respond to data calls from Congress and make better program decisions based on more relevant grantee annual data. Reporting is required for all HOPWA grantees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 12911; 24 CFR §§ 574.520(a) and (b); 24 CFR § 91.520(f). The information collected regarding grantees, their respective project sponsors, and the identities of HOPWA program participants will remain confidential pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 12905(e) and 24 § CFR 574.440.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions to reduce this burden, to Colette Pollard, Reports Management Officer, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Room 4176, Washington, DC 20410-5000. When providing comments, please refer to OMB Control No. 2506-0133. HUD may not conduct and sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection displays a valid OMB Control Number.
HOPWA formula grantees are required to submit a Performance Report demonstrating coordination with other Consolidated Plan resources. HUD uses the Performance Report data to obtain essential information on grant activities, project sponsors, housing sites, units and households, and beneficiaries (which includes racial and ethnic data on program participants). The Consolidated Plan Management Process tool (CPMP) provides an optional tool to integrate the reporting of HOPWA specific activities with other planning and reporting on Consolidated Plan activities.
In addition, grantees must comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act 2006 (Public Law 109- 282), which requires grant recipients to provide general information for all entities (including contractors and sub- contractors) receiving $25,000+ in federal funding.
HOPWA competitive grantees are required to submit a Performance Report for each operating year in which HOPWA grant funds were expended. Information on each competitive grant is to be reported in a separate Performance Report.
Grantees approved for “Other Activities,” as detailed in their grant agreement, are requested to report on their unique program accomplishments.
In addition, grantees must comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act 2006 (Public Law 109- 282), which requires grant recipients to provide general information for all entities (including contractors and sub- Continued-use Periods. Grantees that used HOPWA funding for new construction, acquisition, or substantial rehabilitation of a building or structure are required to operate the building or structure for HOPWA-eligible beneficiaries for a ten (10) years period. If no further HOPWA funds are used to support the facility, in place of completing the "CAP DEV" tab in the Performance Report Worksheet, the grantee must complete an Annual Report of Continued Project Operation throughout the required use periods. This report is found on the "STEWARD" tab of this workbook. The required use period is three (3) years if the rehabilitation is non-substantial.
Record Keeping. Names and other individual information must be kept confidential, as required by 24 CFR 574.440.
However, HUD reserves the right to review the information used to complete this report for grants management oversight purposes, except for recording any names and other identifying information. In the case that HUD must review client-level data, no client names or identifying information will be retained or recorded. Information is reported in aggregate to HUD without personal identification. Do not submit client or personal information in data systems to HUD.
HMIS. In connection with the development of the Department’s standards for Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), universal data elements are being collected for clients of HOPWA-funded homeless assistance projects .
These project sponsor records would include: Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Ethnicity and Race, Gender, Veteran Status, Disabling Conditions, Residence Prior to Program Entry, Zip Code of Last Permanent Address, Housing Status, Program Entry Date, Program Exit Date, Personal Identification Number, and Household Identification Number.
These are intended to match the elements under HMIS. The HOPWA program-level data elements include: Income and Sources, Non-Cash Benefits, HIV/AIDS Status, Services Provided, Housing Status or Destination at the end of the operating year, Physical Disability, Developmental Disability, Chronic Health Condition, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence, Medical Assistance, and T-cell Count. Other HOPWA projects sponsors may also benefit from collecting these data elements. HMIS local data systems must maintain client confidentiality by using a closed system in which medical information and HIV status are only shared with providers that have a direct involvement in the client’s case management, treatment and care, in line with the signed release of information from the client.
Formula Operating Year. HOPWA formula grants are annually awarded for a three-year period of performance with three operating years. The information contained in this Performance Report must represent a one-year period of HOPWA program operation that coincides with the grantee’s program year; this is the operating year. More than one HOPWA formula grant awarded to the same grantee may be used during an operating year and the Performance Report must capture all formula grant funding used during the operating year. Project sponsor accomplishment information must also coincide with the operating year this Performance Report covers. Any change to the period of performance requires the approval of HUD by amendment, such as an extension for an additional operating year.
Competitive Operating Year. HOPWA competitive grants are awarded for a three-year period of performance with Performance Reports submitted for each of the three operating years. The information contained in this Performance Report should reflect the grantee’s operating year with the beginning date determined at the time the grant agreement is signed. Project sponsor accomplishment information must coincide with the operating year this Performance Report covers. Any change to the period of performance requires the approval of HUD by amendment, such as an extension for one additional operating year. A PSH renewal/replacement grant start date would be coordinated with the close out of the existing grant.
Grantees with an approved extension period of less than 6-months must submit the Performance Report for the third year of the grant term at the end of the approved extension period and incorporate data from the additional months.
Grantees with an approved extension period of 6-months or more must turn in a Performance Report at the end of the operating year and submit a separate extension Performance Report at the end of the extension period.
Filing Requirements. Within 90 days of the completion of each operating year, grantees must submit their completed Performance Report to the CPD Director in the grantee’s State or Local HUD Field Office, and to the HOPWA Program Office: at [email protected]. Electronic submission to HOPWA Program office is preferred. If electronic submission is not possible, please send an email to the [email protected] email inbox.
Definitions
Achieved Viral Suppression: When the load or volume of HIV virus present in a person's blood is measured at less than 200 copies per milliliter of blood.
Adjustment for Duplication: Enables the calculation of unduplicated output totals by accounting for the total number of households or units that received more than one type of HOPWA assistance in a given service category such as HOPWA Subsidy Assistance or Supportive Services.
Administrative Costs: Costs for general management, oversight, coordination, evaluation, and reporting. By statute, grantee administrative costs are limited to 3% of the total grant award, to be expended over the life of the grant. Project sponsor administrative costs are limited to 7% of the portion of the grant amount they receive.
Anti-Retroviral Therapy: The combination of drugs used to treat HIV.
Area Median Income: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs including the HOPWA program. HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county. AMI values vary by location and are published at:
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html
Beneficiary(ies): All members of a household (with or without HIV) who benefitted from HOPWA assistance during the operating year, NOT including the HOPWA eligible individual (see definition).
Chronically Homeless Person: An individual or family who is homeless and lives or resides as an individual or family who a) lives or resides in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter; b) has been homeless and living or residing in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter continuously for at least one year or on at least four separate occasions in the last three years; and c) has an adult head of household (or a minor head of household if no adult is present in the household) with a diagnosable substance use disorder, serious mental illness, developmental disability (as defined in section 102 of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 15002), post-traumatic stress disorder, cognitive impairments resulting from a brain injury, or chronic physical illness or disability, including the co-occurrence of two or more of those conditions.
Additionally, the statutory definition includes as chronically homeless a person who currently lives or resides in an institutional care facility, including a jail, substance abuse or mental health treatment facility, hospital or other similar facility, and has resided there for fewer than 90 days if such person met the other criteria for homeless prior to entering that facility. (See 42 U.S.C. 11360(2)) This does not include doubled-up or overcrowding situations.
Disabling Condition: Evidencing a diagnosable substance use disorder, serious mental illness, developmental disability, chronic physical illness, or disability, including the co-occurrence of two or more of these conditions. In addition, a disabling condition may limit an individual’s ability to work or perform one or more activities of daily living. An HIV/AIDS diagnosis is considered a disabling condition.
Facility-Based Housing Assistance: All eligible HOPWA Housing expenditures for or associated with supporting facilities including community residences, SRO dwellings, short-term facilities, project-based rental units, master leased units, and other housing facilities approved by HUD.
Faith-Based Organization: Religious organizations of three types: (1) congregations; (2) national networks, which include national denominations, their social service arms (for example, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services), and networks of related organizations (such as YMCA and YWCA); and (3) freestanding religious organizations, which are incorporated separately from congregations and national networks.
Grassroots Organization: An organization headquartered in the local community where it provides services; has a social services budget of $300,000 or less annually, and six or fewer full-time equivalent employees. Local affiliates of national organizations are not considered “grassroots.”
HOPWA Eligible Individual: The one (1) low-income person with HIV/AIDS who qualifies a household for HOPWA assistance. This person may be considered “Head of Household.” When the Performance Report asks for information on eligible individuals, report on this individual person only. Where there is more than one person with HIV/AIDS in the household, the additional PWH/A(s), would be considered a beneficiary(s).
HOPWA Housing Information Services: Services dedicated to helping persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families to identify, locate, and acquire housing. This may also include fair housing counseling for eligible persons who may encounter discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, familial status, or handicap/disability.
HOPWA Housing Subsidy Assistance Total: The unduplicated number of households receiving housing subsidies (TBRA, STRMU, Permanent Housing Placement services and Master Leasing) and/or residing in units of facilities dedicated to persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families and supported with HOPWA funds during the operating year.
Household: A single individual or a family composed of two or more persons for which household incomes are used to determine eligibility and for calculation of the resident rent payment. The term is used for collecting data on changes in income, changes in access to services, receipt of housing information services, and outcomes on achieving housing stability. Live-In Aides (see definition for Live-In Aide) and non-beneficiaries (e.g., a shared housing arrangement with a roommate) who resided in the unit are not reported in the Performance Report.
Housing Stability: The degree to which the HOPWA project assisted beneficiaries to remain in stable housing during the operating year.
Improved HIV Viral Load: A reduction in the load or volume of HIV present in the HOPWA eligible individual's blood at the end of the reporting period compared to the beginning of the reporting period. Most PLWHA who are engaged in medical care have routine laboratory tests. The HOPWA eligible individual's latest laboratory report can be used to determine viral load.
In-kind Leveraged Resources: These are additional types of support provided to assist HOPWA beneficiaries such as volunteer services, materials, use of equipment and building space. The actual value of the support can be the contribution of professional services, based on customary rates for this specialized support, or actual costs contributed from other leveraged resources. In determining a rate for the contribution of volunteer time and services, use the criteria described in 2 CFR 200. The value of any donated material, equipment, building, or lease should be based on the fair market value at time of donation. Related documentation can be from recent bills of sales, advertised prices, appraisals, or other information for comparable property similarly situated.
Leveraged Funds: The amount of funds expended during the operating year from non-HOPWA federal, state, local, and private sources by grantees or sponsors in dedicating assistance to this client population. Leveraged funds or other assistance are used directly in or in support of HOPWA program delivery.
Live-In Aide: A person who resides with the HOPWA Eligible Individual and who meets the following criteria: (1) is essential to the care and well-being of the person; (2) is not obligated for the support of the person; and (3) would not be living in the unit except to provide the necessary supportive services. See Code of Federal Regulations Title 24 Part 5.403 and the HOPWA Grantee Oversight Resource Guide for additional reference.
Master Leasing: Applies to a nonprofit or public agency that leases units of housing (scattered-sites or entire buildings) from a landlord and subleases the units to homeless or low-income tenants. By assuming the tenancy burden, the agency facilitates housing of clients who may not be able to maintain a lease on their own due to poor credit, evictions, or lack of sufficient income.
Medically Assisted Living Facilities: HOPWA facility-based housing that assists residents with most or all activities of daily living, such as meals, bathing, dressing, and toileting. Regular medical care, supervision, and rehabilitation are also often available.
Nonbinary: A gender other than singularly female or male.
Operating Costs: Applies to facility-based housing only, for facilities that are currently open. Operating costs can include day-to-day housing function and operation costs like utilities, maintenance, equipment, insurance, security, furnishings, supplies and salary for staff costs directly related to the housing project but not staff costs for delivering services.
Instructions Tab
Outcome: The degree to which the HOPWA assisted household has been enabled to establish or maintain a stable living environment in housing that is safe, decent, and sanitary, (per the regulations at 24 CFR 574.310(b)) and to reduce the risks of homelessness and improve access to HIV treatment and other health care and support.
Output: The number of units of housing or households that receive HOPWA assistance during the operating year.
Permanent Housing Placement: A supportive housing service that helps establish the household in the housing unit, including but not limited to reasonable costs for security deposits not to exceed two months of rent costs.
Program Income: Gross income directly generated from the use of HOPWA funds, including repayments. See grant administration requirements on program income at 2 CFR 200.307.
Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA): A rental subsidy program that is tied to specific facilities or units owned or controlled by a project sponsor. Assistance is tied directly to the properties and is not portable or transferable.
Project Sponsor Organizations: Per HOPWA regulations at 24 CFR 574.3, any nonprofit organization or governmental housing agency that receives funds under a contract with the grantee to provide eligible housing and other support services or administrative services as defined in 24 CFR 574.300. Project Sponsor organizations are required to provide performance data on households served and funds expended.
SAM: All organizations applying for a Federal award must have a valid registration active at sam.gov. SAM (System for Award Management) registration includes maintaining current information and providing a valid DUNS number.
Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility (STRMU) Assistance: A time-limited, housing subsidy assistance designed to prevent homelessness and increase housing stability. Grantees may provide assistance for up to 21 weeks in any 52-week period. The amount of assistance varies per client depending on funds available, tenant need and program guidelines.
Stewardship Units: Units developed with HOPWA, where HOPWA funds were used for acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation that no longer receive operating subsidies from HOPWA. Report information for the units is subject to the three-year use agreement if rehabilitation is non-substantial and to the ten-year use agreement if rehabilitation is substantial.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA): TBRA is a rental subsidy program similar to the Housing Choice Voucher program that grantees can provide to help low-income households access affordable housing. The TBRA voucher is not tied to a specific unit, so tenants may move to a different unit without losing their assistance, subject to individual program rules.
The subsidy amount is determined in part based on household income and rental costs associated with the tenant’s lease.
Transgender: Transgender is defined as a person who identifies with, or presents as, a gender that is different from his/her gender assigned at birth
VAWA Internal Emergency Transfers: Per 24 CFR 5.2005e, an emergency transfer under the VAWA protections refers to an emergency relocation of a tenant to another unit where the tenant would not be categorized as a new applicant; that is, the tenant may reside in the new unit without having to undergo an application process.
VAWA External Emergency Transfers: Per 24 CFR 5.2005e, an emergency transfer under the VAWA protections refers to an emergency relocation of a tenant to another unit where the tenant would be categorized as a new applicant; that is, the tenant must undergo an application process in order to reside in the new unit.
Veteran: A veteran is someone who has served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States. This does not include inactive military reserves or the National Guard unless the person was called up to active duty.

If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, SUBRECIPIENT or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to SUBRECIPIENT shall be withheld until notice is received by RECIPIENT that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to RECIPIENT. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for RECIPIENT to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by RECIPIENT pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve SUBRECIPIENT of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by RECIPIENT that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
The fact that insurance is obtained by SUBRECIPIENT shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of SUBRECIPIENT, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify RECIPIENT shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.
The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by SUBRECIPIENT. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of SUBRECIPIENT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of SUBRECIPIENT, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub- consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
