Housing and Urban Development

activity as part of the evaluation of the
Section 811 Supportive Housing for

Project Rental Assistance (PRA)
Program. The PRA Program is a new
model of housing assistance authorized
in 2010 that provides project-based
rental assistance to state housing
agencies for the development of
supportive housing for extremely lowincome persons with disabilities.
Housing agencies must have a formal
partnership with the state health and
human service agency and the state
Medicaid provider to provide services
and supports directly to residents living
in units funded with Section 811 PRA.
The Section 811 PRA program
authorizing statute requires HUD to
describe the assistance under the
program, to analyze its effectiveness,
and propose recommendations for
future assistance under Section 811.
HUD is implementing a two-phase
evaluation of the Section 811 PRA
program. The first phase of the
evaluation is focused on a process
evaluation that will describe the
implementation of the program in the
first 12 states awarded Section 811 PRA
funds. The second phase will evaluate
the program effectiveness and its impact
on residents. This request for OMB
clearance covers the first phase of the
evaluation. Data collection includes inperson interviews with staffs at state
agencies, (housing, health and human
services and state Medicaid providers)

program in order to answer the research
questions. The total burden for state
housing agency and Medicaid
respondents is 168 hours. The average
burden of interviews for Section 811
PRA Partner Agency staff is one hour,

and Urban Development (HUD), is proposing a data collection activity as
part of the evaluation of the Section 811 Supportive Housing for
Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) Project Rental Assistance (PRA)
