Development and Related Agencies
Appropriations Bill directed the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to ‘‘undertake
research to ascertain the impact of
various service and housing
interventions in ending homelessness
for families.’’ In response to this
directive, HUD awarded an Indefinite
Quantity Contract (IQC) to Abt
Associates, Inc. in September 2008 to
conduct a study entitled The Impact of
Housing and Services Interventions on
Homeless Families. The study will
compare several combinations of
housing assistance and services in a
multi-site experiment, to determine
which interventions work best to
promote housing stability, family
preservation, child well-being, adult
well-being, and self-sufficiency. The
study has begun enrolling families and
administering the baseline survey. The
follow-up survey enables collection of
data on the outcomes of interest from
families who have participated in the
study; the survey will permit the
research team to track participants and
measure the outcomes of participants 18
months after assignment to one of the
study’s interventions. Interviews with
key informants will enable the study
team to collect cost information so that
it is possible to assess the costs of the
interventions and services provided to
homeless families.

This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Section 8 Random
Digit Dialing Fair Market Rent Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 2528–0142.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD is
evaluating alternative survey
methodologies to collect gross rent data
for specific areas in a relatively fast and
accurate way that may be used to
estimate and update Section 8 Fair
Market Rents (FMRs) in areas where
FMRs are believed to be incorrect and
data from the American Community
Survey is not available at the local level.
Section 8(C)(1) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 requires the
Secretary to publish Fair Market Rents
(FMRs) annually to be effective on
October 1 of each year. FMRs are used
for the Section 8 Rental Certificate
Program (including space rentals by
owners of manufactured homes under
that program); the Moderate
Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy
program; housing assisted under the
Loan Management and Property
Disposition programs; payment
standards for the Rental Voucher
program; and any other programs whose
regulations specify their use.
Random digit dialing (RDD) telephone
surveys have been used for many years
to adjust FMRs and will be evaluated for
continued use. These surveys are based
on a sampling procedure that uses
computers to select statistically random
samples of telephone numbers to locate
certain types of rental housing units for
surveying. Cell phone surveys will be
incorporated into this methodology and
comprise roughly one-third of the
sample. In addition HUD will collect
survey data using web-based and mail
systems. Initially, as the methodology is
being refined, HUD will conduct
surveys of up to 4 individual FMR areas
in a year to test the accuracy of their
FMRs. Up to 5 individual FMR area will
be surveyed after the new methodology
is determined.
Members of affected public:
Individuals or households living in
areas surveyed.
