In April 2025, Office of Community Services (OCS) received approval to use the new Beneficiary Report to collect information about the characteristics and outcomes of beneficiaries of the DDDRP. This approval included:
· Continued administration of the Beneficiary Enrollment Survey (BES) with grant recipients that had already been administering the survey through April 2026, when those projects were scheduled to end.
· Administration of the new Beneficiary Report for new awardees.
Currently, only seven grant recipients continue to use the BES, and their project period end date is April 30, 2026. Given the potential for a short extension of the project timeline (e.g., through a no-cost extension), these projects may remain operational beyond April 2026.
The current OMB expiration date is April 30, 2028, but materials submitted and approved describe data collection ending in April 2026. Currently approved burden estimates include enough estimated burden hours to allow data collection for at least one more year.
Additionally, as we have developed resources to support grant recipients in completing the outcomes tab, we have identified areas where the instructions and data elements could be clarified to improve data quality. These improvements will help ensure consistent reporting across all grantees and enable more reliable cross-checking of data totals.
