Title of Proposal: Evaluation of the
Rapid Re-housing for Homeless Families
Demonstration Program.
OMB Control Number: XXXX—
pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Participation Agreement (for the
collection of informed consent and
contact information), the 6-month
Tracking Letter, and the Participant
Follow-up Survey Instruments are all
necessary to conduct the evaluation of
the Rapid Re-Housing for Families
Demonstration Program.
The FY 2008 budget for the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (H.R. 2764) included a
$25 million set-aside to implement a
Rapid Re-housing for Families
Demonstration (RRHD) Program
‘‘expressly for the purposes of providing
housing and services to homeless
families.’’ Also included in the
legislation was a requirement that there
be an evaluation of the demonstration
program ‘‘in order to evaluate the
effectiveness of the rapid re-housing
approach in addressing the needs of
homeless families.’’ These instruments
establish the research foundation on
which the Department can meet that
direction. They will permit the research
team to identify a cohort of RRHD
program participants and to track and
measure the outcomes of participants 12
months after program completion.
Members of affected public:
Households.
