HUD Asks for Input on Measuring Housing Program Wins
Published Date: 12/18/2025
Notice
Summary
HUD wants to keep collecting info on how well housing programs are doing and is asking for your thoughts by January 20, 2026. This affects organizations that report success data to HUD, but no new costs or big changes are planned—just continuing the current process. It’s your chance to help shape how HUD measures success and keeps things running smoothly!
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
HUD continues record-level reporting
If your organization gets certain HUD discretionary grants (like the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator grants or ROSS), you must continue submitting de-identified record-level data to HUD using the HUD-PRL form. HUD expects 5,723 respondents, with a total annual burden of 196,413 hours, an hourly cost estimate of $21, and an annual cost estimate of $4,124,681; comments on this collection are due January 20, 2026.
Standardized reporting to reduce duplicate burden
HUD is standardizing data collection across participating discretionary programs to improve comparability and reduce the increased burden faced by funding recipients with multiple HUD funding streams. Program offices will select which data elements apply, and HUD may expand these requirements to other programs over time.
Submission methods and file formats specified
HUD will accept data by direct input through the GrantSolutions online reporting tool or by file upload in Microsoft Excel or XML formats for the HUD-PRL submission. Funding recipients may use existing management information systems provided they can export the required data elements for submission.
De-identified data and small-count redaction rule
HUD will not include any personally identifiable information (PII) in its reporting repository and will redact or remove demographic results from public-use files when a funding recipient reports 25 or fewer individuals served in a fiscal year. The goal is to prevent identification of any individual in public data products.
Reported data will inform scoring and oversight
HUD will use the collected data for program administration, oversight, application scoring, monitoring participation and outcomes, and program evaluation to identify effective practices and correct problematic ones. These reporting results can affect how HUD scores applications and monitors funding recipients.
