Each interview performed is expected to last up to one hour. An additional 180 phone surveys will be conducted with a nationally representative sample of PHA staff across the country. Each phone survey is expected to last 60 minutes.

Additionally, up to 1,500 interviews with eligible participants on the waiting list and/or those recently admitted into the program will be completed. These interviews are expected to last approximately three-quarters of an hour and will provide insight into how they are or would be affected by the current system and the proposed alternatives. Lastly, up to 470 follow-up interviews with PHA staff and households may be completed with each interview lasting from three-quarters of an hour to one hour each.
