Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD is
conducting this study under contract
with the Urban Institute and its
subcontractors (EJP Consulting). The
project is an evaluation of the Resident
Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency
Service Coordinator (ROSS–SC)
program operated by grantees across the
country. It will include a national webbased survey and in-person site visits to
select grantees. Since 2008, the ROSS–
SC program has provided information
and referral for families, elderly, and
disabled residents in public housing by
funding local Service Coordinators to
link residents to resources that they
need to become independent and selfsufficient. The purpose of the program
is to leverage existing local public and
private services to increase income,
reduce or eliminate welfare assistance,
work towards economic independence
and housing self-sufficiency, and
improve living conditions and ability to
age in-place for elderly and disabled
residents. To date, there has been no
HUD-funded evaluation of this program.
A GAO study across several HUD selfsufficiency programs published in 2013
found that the ROSS–SC program lacked
enough quality data on participation
and outcomes ‘‘to determine whether it
was meeting goals of the effective and
efficient use of resources’’ in improving
resident self-sufficiency and
independence. They recommended
improving the data reporting process
and developing a strategy for regularly
analyzing ROSS–SC participation and
outcome data. This project helps
implement GAO’s recommendations by:
(1) Assessing improvements in program
processes and reporting since changes
were made to the program’s logic model
in FY 2014; (2) examining the breadth
and depth of ROSS–SC program
implementation by current service
coordinators across all grantee types;
and (3) analyzing current reporting
requirements and performance metrics
to improve future program outcome
evaluation. To do so, this study will use
a full population survey of current
service coordinators funded through
ROSS–SC grants made in FY 2013, FY
2014, and FY 2015, and site visits to
select grantees.
A web-based survey will allow the
study team to investigate important
Service Coordinator (SC) program
characteristics not included in grant
applications or current reporting tools,
in order to provide generalizable
evidence on the ‘‘effective and efficient
use of resources’’ across all ROSS–SC
service coordinators. These include SC
qualifications and experience, program
