As the lead agency for the county, OC Partnership provides all training, outreach, and technical support for agencies using the system. The City of Santa Ana, as the HPRP grantee, will be responsible for tracking and gathering data from each city grantee to report the use of funds back to HUD. Sub-grantees must use CMIS to report client progress as required by HPRP guidelines. In addition to the collection of the universal and program data elements currently required by HUD, several new HPRP specific fields must be captured, including: • Grant identifier • Homeless status • Financial assistance provided • Housing relocation/stabilization services provided This data will allow Santa Ana the ability to more closely measure and report sub grantee outcomes and effective use of funds. Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports to HUD will need to be generated accurately. There are currently 34 service providers on CMIS. With this new infusion of program funding more nonprofits will be required to contribute client data to CMIS, moving our community closer to HUD's goal of a widely used regional homeless client database that accurately paints a picture of homeless clients and services received in Orange County. CMIS allows for an accurate regional and agency level view of our service delivery system, and identification of service gaps required to inform local programmatic and funding decisions. Your investment in CMIS will allow OCP to: • Expand the CMIS system to meet the new HPRP data collection requirements • Provide CMIS system setup, training and technical support to your sub grantee recipients • Provide the data needed to complete the Annual Progress Report (APR) for sub grantees to be submitted to the City of Santa Ana RFP HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION & RAPID RE-HOUSING SERVICES 6/11/09 10
