operating budget and related form are
submitted by PHAs for the low-income
housing program. The operating budget
provides a summary of proposed budget
receipts and expenditures by major
category, as well as blocks for indicating
approval of budget receipts and
expenditures by the PHAs and HUD.
The related form provides a record of
PHA Board approval of how the amount
shown on the operating budget were
derived, as well as the justification of
certain specified amounts. The
information is reviewed by HUD to
determine if the plan of operation
adopted by the PHAs and amounts
included therein are reasonable for the
efficient and economical operation of
the development(s), and the PHAs are in
compliance with HUD’s procedures to
assure that sound management practices
will be followed in the operation of the
development. PHAs are still required to
prepare their operating budgets and
submit them to their Board for approval
prior to their operating subsidy being
approved by HUD. The operating
budgets must be kept on file for review,
if requested.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,041.
Estimated Number of Responses:

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Evaluation of the Jobs Plus Pilot
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD’s
2014 Appropriations included funding
to support the implementation of the
Jobs Plus Pilot Program, a place-based
program designed to increase work and
earnings among public housing
residents. Nine public housing agencies
(PHAs) were awarded grant funds in the
Spring of 2015, and will implement the
Jobs Plus program over a period of four
years. The program as designed includes
three core components: (1)
Employment-related services, (2)
financial incentives—the Jobs Plus
Earned Income Disregard (JPEID), and
(3) community supports for work. The
Jobs Plus program seeks to replicate the
model tested under the Jobs Plus
Demonstration back in the 1990s and
early 2000, which led to sustained
growth in earned income among
residents at sites that fully implemented
the program. This current generation of
the Jobs Plus program, however, will
differ from the Jobs Plus demonstration
in some important ways—first, the
current iteration of the program will
benefit from a more robust financial
incentive, and second, the program will
be implemented almost twenty years
after the initial demonstration, in a very
different employment market. Because
of these important variations, HUD is
supporting an evaluation of the Jobs
Plus Pilot program, with the goal of
documenting the programs established
by the Jobs Plus Pilot Program grantees
and laying the groundwork for future
evaluative work that will seek to
document the impact of the program,
both on the program participants, as
well as the entire target development.
Specific research objectives include, but
are not limited to: Describing the set of
activities and partnerships established
by grantees under core program
components; describing the amount and
type of leveraged resources accessed by

engaging a high percentage of residents
in some aspect of program participation;
documenting the ease with which PHAs
implemented the JPEID; and

Data to be analyzed during the
evaluation include administrative data,
as well as data collected directly from
PHAs, Jobs Plus program administrators,
partners and staff, as well as residents
of developments where Jobs Plus is
being implemented. This request for
OMB clearance includes the data
collection instruments that will be

site visits to each of the nine program
sites, including a site visit interview
guide and a focus group discussion
guide.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
