A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Evaluation of the Jobs Plus Pilot
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD’s
2014 Appropriations included funding
to support the implementation of the
Jobs Plus Pilot Program, a place-based
program designed to increase work and
earnings among public housing
residents. Nine public housing agencies
(PHAs) were awarded grant funds in the
Spring of 2015, and will implement the
Jobs Plus program over a period of four
years. The program as designed includes
three core components: (1)
Employment-related services, (2)
financial incentives—the Jobs Plus
Earned Income Disregard (JPEID), and
(3) community supports for work. The
Jobs Plus program seeks to replicate the
model tested under the Jobs Plus
Demonstration back in the 1990s and
early 2000, which led to sustained
growth in earned income among
residents at sites that fully implemented
the program. This current generation of
the Jobs Plus program, however, will
differ from the Jobs Plus demonstration
in some important ways—first, the
current iteration of the program will
benefit from a more robust financial
incentive, and second, the program will
be implemented almost twenty years
after the initial demonstration, in a very
different employment market. Because
of these important variations, HUD is
supporting an evaluation of the Jobs
Plus Pilot program, with the goal of
documenting the programs established
by the Jobs Plus Pilot Program grantees
and laying the groundwork for future
evaluative work that will seek to
document the impact of the program,
both on the program participants, as
well as the entire target development.
Specific research objectives include, but
are not limited to: Describing the set of
activities and partnerships established
by grantees under core program
components; describing the amount and
type of leveraged resources accessed by
