DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless Youth
Management Information System (NEORHYMIS)
OMB No.: 0970-0123.
Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as amended
by Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.), mandates that the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to
Congress on the status of HHS-funded programs serving runaway and
homeless youth. Organizations funded under the Runaway and Homeless
Youth (RHY) program are required by section 312(b)(7) of the statute to
meet several data collection and reporting requirements. These
requirements include maintenance of client statistical records and
submission of annual program reports profiling the characteristics of
the youth and families served and the services provided to them. The
October 2003 reauthorization of the Act maintained the requirements as
described in the standing legislation.
Data from the National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless
Youth Management Information System (NEORHYMIS) support grantee
organizations as they carry out a variety of integrated, ongoing
responsibilities and projects. These include meeting statutory and
regulatory reporting requirements, maintaining program service and
management information for internal uses, tracking youth in their
programs, accountability monitoring, management improvement, research,
and evaluation.
Respondents: Recipients of grants from the HHS/ACF/Family and Youth
Services Bureau to operate emergency shelters for runaway youth,
transitional programs for homeless youth, and street outreach programs.
