Please include the three programmatic goals listed below, and address both housing and services in your discussion . You will be reporting on your success in meeting the performance measures in your Annual Progress Report . The programmatic goals for HUD ' s homeless assistance programs address the success of homeless persons in achieving residential stability, increasing skills and income, and achieving greater self-determination . These program goals directly complement HUD 's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals of ending chronic homelessness and moving homeless families and individuals to permanent housing . In order to meet these program goals, each project should develop specific performance measures . Performance measures have three major components . First, they must relate to the outcomes (e .g. , the program participant will successfully complete substance abuse treatment), rather than inputs (e . g . , the program participant will attend 25 substance abuse sessions) . Second, they must have a time frame for achievement and, third, they must have a percentage/number indicating a level of achievement. Goal : Obtain and Remain in Permanent Housing a) 60% of individuals entering the program will remain in permanent housing for more than one year. Goal : Increase Skills and Income b) 80% of the participants who are eligible for mainstream resources including SSDI, Medicaid, Food Stamps and Share of Cost Medicaid will receive benefits for which they are eligible within one year of entering the program . Goal : Achieve Greater Self-Determination c) 55 % of clients will participate regularly in Social Club or a Drop-In Center to improve their skills and will voluntarily seek out at least part time employment within 6 months of entering the program . 9 .
