Title of Proposal: Rent Reform
Demonstration.
Description of the need for
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with MDRC and its
subcontractors (Branch Associates, The
Bronner Group, Decision Information
Resources, Quadel Consulting
Corporation, and the Urban Institute).
The project is a random controlled trial
of a new alternative rent system.
Families will be randomly assigned to
either participate in the new/alternative
rent system or to continue in the current
system. Outcomes of the alternative
system are hypothesized to be increases
in earnings, more accurate reporting of
earnings, and job retention. Random
assignment will limit the extent to
which selection bias drives observed
results. The demonstration will
document the progress of a group of
Voucher holders, who will be drawn
from both the current residents and new
enrollees. The intent is to gain an
understanding of the impact of the
alternative rent system on the families
as well as the administrative burden on
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). PHAs
currently participating in the Moving to
Work (MtW) Demonstration are being
recruited to participate in this
demonstration.
Data collection will include the
families that are part of the treatment
and control groups, as well as PHA staff.
Data will be gathered through a variety
of methods including informational
interviews, direct observation, surveys,
and analysis of administrative records.
The work covered under this
information request is for interviews
and the baseline survey. Additional
work will be undertaken in subsequent
task orders and covered under a
separate information collection request.
