NASCSP 2013 On the following pages, we’ve laid out a few reporting options that might assist the Network in achieving the goals listed above. However, there are other concerns that must be noted alongside any recommendations for potential changes, such as cost of implementation, timeline for implementation, and training and technical assistance. In addition, these options do not address changes to reporting administrative uses of CSBG funds. The guidance provided in the Federal Office of Community Services’ (OCS) Information Memoranda 37 on reporting administrative uses of CSBG may be impacted in the different scenarios proposed. Data Collection Options The first option involves keeping Section E categories as they are currently reported and assigning those same categories to all of the other Federal, State, local, and private resources that are reported. The second and third options were ideas generated by OCS, and visually represented using mock data, for illustration purposes only. These data collection options were presented to the Nationally Certified ROMA Trainers (NCRTs) who contributed to the fourth option, a report based on the ROMA cycle activities. Page 38
NASCSP 2013 Option One: Current CSBG IS Survey Section E Categories The first option would be to connect all of a local agency’s funding sources that are reported in Section F on the CSBG IS Survey to the CSBG funding through the current service categories. The current categories would be maintained, but would require clearer definitions that include the activities to be reported as well as guidance on how to categorize other Federal, state, local, and private funding sources. The strengths to this approach would be the connection to the categories that are clearly listed in the CSBG Statute (Sec. 676 b.1.A.) and the comparison ability to analyze data across multiple years. The challenges with this approach include not adequately capturing organizational investments and specifically ROMA activities including planning, community needs assessments and evaluation. Also, categorization of an agency’s Federal, State, local, and private funding using the CSBG service categories would not adequately capture the use of those funds. Page 39
