This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Study of Public
Housing Agencies’ Engagement with
Homeless Households—Follow-up
Sample Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2528-pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
information collection will support
research that will explore and document
how public housing agencies (PHAs)
currently serve and interact with
homeless households, to achieve the
following: (1) Establish a baseline level
of PHAs’ current engagement in serving
homeless households, (2) document the
practices of PHAs that have an explicit
preference for homeless households; (3)
explore PHA perceptions of barriers to,
or concerns about, increasing the
number of homeless households served
or targeting homeless households for
priority housing assistance; and (4)
identify mechanisms to address or
eliminate barriers to serving homeless
households in mainstream housing
assistance, with a focus on the housing
choice voucher (HCV) program and
public housing. Findings of this study
will enable the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development
55489
(HUD), which funds PHAs, to develop
strategies to expand access to
mainstream housing opportunities for
homeless households that are rooted in
evidence and informed by the PHAs
themselves. This proposed data
collection consists of a telephone survey
to be administered to a purposeful
sample of 125 public housing agencies.
Members of affected public: Public
housing agencies.

Title of Proposal: Site Visit Protocols
for Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP2) Evaluation; Second Round.
OMB Control Number:
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) is conducting an
important national study of the
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP), with a particular focus on the
round of funding from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA), known as ‘‘NSP2.’’ This
information collection will constitute
the second round of site visits and
interviews of NSP2 grantees, as well as
collection of grantees’ property-level
data on NSP2 activities conducted. The
information collected will be used to
describe how program implementation
occurred in practice, gather views of
what program outcomes and impacts
have occurred, and explore factors that
contributed to program outcomes.
Agency Form Numbers:
Members of the Affected Public: A
total of 29 NSP2 grantees (25 local and
4 national) and 50 partner agencies will
be part of the study. Staff of these
grantees will be asked to participate in
interviews with HUD’s contractor and to
provide HUD’s contractor with access to
their records for tracking program
activity. Local interviews will take
approximately 2 hours per person and
will be administered to approximately 4
staff per NSP2 grantee and 4 additional
staff among partner agencies. Interviews
with national grantees will be
administered to approximately 2 staff
per NSP2 grantee.
Property-level data will be compiled
either by grantee representatives or by a
HUD contractor. Approximately onehalf of the 29 grantees (or 14 grantees)
and 25 partner organizations will likely
chose to report the required data
themselves via the study’s preformatted
spreadsheet. HUD estimates that each
spreadsheet will take one person about
1.5 working days (12 hours) to
complete, on average.
For the remaining 15 grantees and 25
partner organizations, the data will be
compiled by the research team with the
support of local representatives. The
majority of this effort will be conducted
