<br />Exhibit A <br /> <br />CPD Outcome Performance Measurement System <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />A working group, established by and composed of representatives from national <br />housing and community development associations as well as HUD and the Office of <br />Management and Budget (OMB), began holding monthly meetings in June 2004 for <br />the purpose of developing an outcome performance measurement system for key <br />HUD housing and community development programs. The working group was made <br />up of grantee representatives from the Council of State Community Development <br />Agencies (COSCDA), the National Community Development Association (NCDA), <br />the National Association for County Community Economic Development <br />(NACCED), the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials <br />(NAHRO), the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA), HUD's <br />Offices of Community Planning and Development (CPD) and Policy Development <br />and Research (PD&R), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). <br /> <br />The members of this working group finalized their work and reached agreement on an <br />outcome performallce measurement system to propose for grantees that receive <br />funding from the Oommunity Development Block Grant program (CDBG), the <br />HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Shelter Grant <br />program (ESG), and the Housing OpportUnities for Persons with AIDS program <br />(HOPW A) formula grants. The proposed Outcome Performance Measurement <br />System was published in the Federal Register on June lO, 2005 (70 FR 34044). The <br />final outcome performance measurement system includes objectives, outcome <br />measures, and indicators that describe outputs. The objectives are: Creating Suitable <br />Living Environments, Providillg Decent Affordable Housing, and Creating Economic <br />OpportUnities. Th~ outcome categories are: Accessibility/Availability, Affordability, <br />and Sustainability. There is a standardized list of output indicators that grantees will <br />report on as appropriate for their chosen objectives and outcomes. Although the <br />system is not desi811ed to capture every activity, HUD is confident that the list is <br />broad enough that the results of a significant amount of activities of each of the <br />programs will be r~ported. Most of the output indicators required by the system do <br />not require additional data collection or reporting. <br /> <br />Grantees shall incorporate performance measurements into consolidated plans or <br />annual action plans prepared for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and <br />HOPW A funding. This will include the determination of an objective and selection of an <br />outcome for each activity, based on the type of activity and its purpose. HUD realizes <br />that some grantees hav'e already completed preparation of their FY2006 plans, while <br />others are well into the planning and development process. However, where possible, <br />grantees should imme<Jiately incorporate the new performance measurements approach <br />into consolidated plans, or annual action plans that are being prepared for FY2006 funds. <br /> <br />1="- 34- <br />
