Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records: Understanding Rapid ReHousing Study
Office of Policy Development
and Research, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of a new system of
records.
AGENCY:
For the Understanding Rapid
Re-housing Study, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development’s
(HUD) Office of Policy Development
and Research (PD&R) is partnering with
an external research team to collect new
data to analyze the current status of the
rapid re-housing (RRH) programs and
the experiences of RRH participants.
The project will provide HUD with a
deeper understanding of how RRH
programs operate and the experiences of
households that use them. The
Understanding Rapid Re-housing Study
will synthesize existing research on
RRH programs, extend the analysis of
data from the Family Options Study
(2016), provide a detailed examination
of all rapid re-housing programs
nationwide, and conduct qualitative
research with a small sample of families
and individuals who receive RRH. The
study will collect contact information
from Continuums of Care (CoCs) for
RRH programs, as well as personal
information from participating RRH
households.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, HUD/PD&R proposes to establish
a new system of records titled, ‘‘HUD/
Understanding Rapid Re-housing.’’ This
system of records allows HUD/PD&R to
collect and maintain records on rapid
re-housing program participants who
volunteer to participate in the study as
well as Continuums of Care and rapid
re-housing program staff. This newly
established system will be included in
HUD’s inventory of systems.

I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, HUD/PD&R
proposes to establish a new HUD system
of records titled ‘‘HUD/Understanding
Rapid Re-housing.’’
The new system—the Understanding
Rapid Re-housing study—is not
required by a new rulemaking being
published.
The Understanding Rapid Re-housing
(RRH) Study is being conducted by Abt
Associates, an independent research
firm, under the authority of the
Secretary of HUD, through the Office of
Policy Development and Research. The
study is meant to undertake programs of
research, studies, testing, and
demonstration related to HUD’s mission
and programs (12 U.S.C. 1701z–1 et
seq.).
This study provides an opportunity to
address unanswered questions about
RRH assistance and to gain an
understanding of the status of RRH
programs nationwide, as well as the
experiences of RRH participants. At the
program level, the new data collection
and analysis will assess the current
scale of RRH, document the
predominant models in place for RRH
programs, determine the extent to which
programs use progressive engagement
service approaches, and examine the
way RRH programs function in rental
markets with varying costs and vacancy
rates.

Researchers will collect program-level
data from Continuums of Care (CoCs)
and RRH programs via a web-based
survey and will subsequently collect
further data through in-depth telephone
interviews with several RRH programs.
This data will be analyzed by Abt
Associates and reported to HUD in a
final report. Abt study staff will conduct
in-person interviews and meetings with
16 RRH program participants. Data from
these meetings will be collected via
electronic recordings and paper
protocols, and analyzed and reported by
the researchers in the final report to
HUD. All data will be de-identified for
reporting purposes, so no person or
program will be able to be identified in
the final published study.
This study has undergone
Institutional Review Board (IRB) and
Information Security reviews to identify
privacy risks, compliance, and legal
risks to HUD.
Consistent with HUD’s informationsharing mission, information stored in
the HUD/Understanding Rapid Rehousing system may be shared with
other HUD components that have a need
to know the information to carry out
their national security, law enforcement,
immigration, intelligence, or other
homeland security functions. In
addition, information may be shared
with appropriate federal, state, local,
tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies
consistent with the routine uses set
forth in this system of records notice.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
HUD/Understanding Rapid Rehousing—
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Unclassified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Abt Associates, 4550 Montgomery
Avenue, Suite 800 North, Bethesda, MD.
A list of additional contractor sites
where records under this system are
maintained is available upon request to
the system manager.
