This quasiexperimental research study involves longitudinally examining the program effects of DVHF on domestic violence survivors’ safety and housing stability. The findings will be of interest to the general public, to policy-makers, and to organizations working with domestic violence survivors. Data collection will include in-depth, private interviews with 320 domestic violence survivors conducted by trained professional staff. At Time 1 study enrollment, they will be interviewed about their backgrounds, housing and safety obstacles, and services desired. There will be three follow-up interviews PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with them every six months after the Time 1 Interview (i.e., 6, 12, and 18 months) to examine the match between needs and services, as well as their safety and housing stability. Study enrollment will take place over 15 months, so the annualized burden for the Time 1 and follow-up surveys is based on 12/15 (256) of the expected sample (320). The primary service providers working with the domestic violence survivors will complete selfadministered online questionnaires to provide more detailed program implementation data. Service providers will complete a survey about their work history and demographics and a survey about the services provided for each domestic violence survivor in their caseload that is a participant in the study (approximately 16 survivors per provider). This latter data collection will occur six months after a domestic violence survivor enrolls in the study over 15 months to correspond to the study enrollment period. Finally, the study will also include monthly data collection for 19 months from an agency point of contact (POC) in order to verify agency information (e.g., the number of advocates working in the agency, advocate caseloads, dates of study participants’ receipt of services). Likely Respondents: The respondents are domestic violence survivors, primary service providers, and community agency points of contact who work with their agency data systems.

Information Collection Request Title: Domestic Violence Housing First 
Demonstration Evaluation

    Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and 
Evaluation (ASPE) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services, in partnership with the Office for Victims of Crimes within 
the U.S. Department of Justice, is seeking approval by OMB for a new 
information collection request entitled, ``Domestic Violence Housing 
First (DVHF) Demonstration Evaluation.'' The Washington State Coalition 
Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) is overseeing and coordinating an 
evaluation of the DVHF Demonstration project through a contract with 
ASPE. This quasi-experimental research study involves longitudinally 
examining the program effects of DVHF on domestic violence survivors' 
safety and housing stability. The findings will be of interest to the 
general public, to policy-makers, and to organizations working with 
domestic violence survivors.
    Data collection will include in-depth, private interviews with 320 
domestic violence survivors conducted by trained professional staff. At 
Time 1 study enrollment, they will be interviewed about their 
backgrounds, housing and safety obstacles, and services desired. There 
will be three follow-up interviews with them every six months after the 
Time 1 Interview (i.e., 6, 12, and 18 months) to examine the match 
between needs and services, as well as their safety and housing 
stability. Study enrollment will take place over 15 months, so the 
annualized burden for the Time 1 and follow-up surveys is based on 12/
15 (256) of the expected sample (320).
    The primary service providers working with the domestic violence 
survivors will complete self-administered online questionnaires to 
provide more detailed program implementation data. Service providers 
will complete a survey about their work history and demographics and a 
survey about the services provided for each domestic violence survivor 
in their caseload that is a participant in the study (approximately 16 
survivors per provider). This latter data collection will occur six 
months after a domestic violence survivor enrolls in the study over 15 
months to correspond to the study enrollment period. Finally, the study 
will also include monthly data collection for 19 months from an agency 
point of contact (POC) in order to verify agency information (e.g., the 
number of advocates working in the agency, advocate caseloads, dates of 
study participants' receipt of services).
    Likely Respondents: The respondents are domestic violence 
survivors, primary service providers, and community agency points of 
contact who work with their agency data systems.
