A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: The
Impact of Housing and Services
Interventions on Homeless Families—
36-month Follow-up Data Collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0259.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
The 36-Month Head of Household
Follow-up Survey Instrument and the
36-Month Child Data Collection
Instruments will support the collection
of data from families enrolled in the
Family Options Study. The Family
Options Study, formerly referred to as
The Impact of Housing and Services
Interventions on Homeless Families,
was launched by HUD in 2008 in
response to Senate Report 109–109 for
the FY 2006 Transportation, Treasury,
the Judiciary, Housing and Urban
Development and Related Agencies
Appropriations Bill, which directed
HUD to ‘‘undertake research to ascertain
the impact of various service and
housing interventions in ending
homelessness for families.’’ The Family
Options Study is comparing several
combinations of housing assistance and
services in a rigorous, multi-site
experiment to determine which
interventions work best to promote
housing stability, family preservation,
child well-being, adult well-being, and
self-sufficiency. Between 2010 and
2012, over 2,300 families in twelve
communities enrolled in the study.
Prior rounds of data collection from the
adult head of household have been
conducted at the point of study
enrollment/random assignment, and
eighteen (18) months following the date
of study enrollment/random
assignment. Extensive data collection
from a sample of children within study
families has also been conducted by the
research team with funding from the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD). This next phase
of data collection in the Family Options
Study will support the continued
collection of data from study families 36
months following the date of study
enrollment/random assignment. Given
the length of time which families are
eligible to remain in the interventions
being tested (one of the four
interventions being studied can serve
families for up to 18 months, and a
second can serve families for up to 24
months), this final wave of data is
critical to understanding how families
fare after an intervention ends, and
whether the same interventions that are
effective in the short-term (18 months),
are also effective in the longer-term (36
months).
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
