SUMMARY:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Planning Phase Evaluation of the
LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention
Initiative.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Initiative began in the summer of 2013
as part of a federal interagency
initiative. The initiative’s goal is to
prevent homelessness among lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and
questioning (LGBTQ) youth, and to
intervene early when homelessness
occurs for these youth. Federal partners
from the U.S. Departments of Education,
Health, and Juvenile Justice, as well as
the U.S. Interagency Council on
Homelessness, support this HUD
initiative. The initiative supports the
federal goal to end youth homelessness
by 2020 and contributes to the
development of a model for preventing
LGBT youth homelessness that other
communities can replicate. There are
two communities participating in this
initiative and both receive technical
assistance (TA) to support their
initiative planning (and later in the
process, their initiative
implementation).
At this time, both communities are in
the midst of their strategic planning and
we do not currently have information on
the strategies they plan to implement
starting in fall 2014. Hence, this request
for OMB clearance only covers the first
evaluation phase. This planning phase
evaluation will document how the two
participating communities have
approached their local plan
development. Furthermore, it will
examine the resources required to carry
out the planning process, what worked
well, what challenges emerged and how
they were addressed, and lessons
learned. To produce this information,
HUD will collect quantitative and
qualitative data from primary sources
using four methods: interviews, surveys,
focus groups, and document review.
Participants will consist of the local
initiative leads as well as individuals
involved in local initiative steering
committees and subcommittees.
Documents to be reviewed will not
require new data collection—they are
available through the ongoing TA to the
two communities.
This first evaluation phase will focus
on nine aspects of the planning process:
(1) Role of local leads, (2) timeline; (3)
needs assessment, (4) logic model; (5)
local plan development; (6) role of
steering committee; (7) role of
subcommittees; (8) community
involvement; and (9) technical
assistance supports. These areas were
chosen to better understand
development of the local plans,
including learned lessons, overall
strengths/assets, and weaknesses/
challenges of the planning phase. A
separate OMB clearance request will be
submitted as part of the second
evaluation phase, which will examine
