16 Performance Goals and Measures, 2605(b)

16.1 Describe your progress toward meeting the data collection and reporting requirements of the four required LIHEAP (Benefit Targeting Index, Burden Reduction Targeting Index, Restoration of Home Energy Service, and Prevention of Loss of Home Energy Service). Include timeframes and plans for meeting these requirements and what you believe will be accomplished in the coming federal fiscal year. The Department was able to meet the four LIHEAP performance measures. The Department currently requires Subrecipients and statewide or regional contractors to upload data related to the four performance measures into our State reporting system. The Department has made this reporting a contractual requirement for all LIHEAP Subrecipients and statewide or regional contractors. The Department periodically reviews uploaded summary reports and offers technical assistance to Subrecipients and statewide or regional contractors who may not understand what to report or may not upload the data in a timely fashion. The Department will review the outcomes of the performance data reports to determine any training needs or changes to programs design that are needed. If any of the above questions require further explanation or clarification that could not be made in the fields provided, attach a document with said explanation here.
