A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Rent
Reform Demonstration: 36-Month
Follow-Up Survey and Comprehensive
Impact Analysis.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0306.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) is conducting the
Rent Reform Demonstration under
contract with MDRC and its
subcontractors (The Bronner Group,
Quadel Consulting Corporation, and the
Urban Institute). The 36-month followup survey will be conducted by a survey
contractor. The project is a random
assignment trial of an alternative rent
system. In 2015 and 2016, 6,660 families
were randomly assigned to either
participate in the new/alternative rent
system or to continue in the current
system. For voucher holders, outcomes
of the alternative system are
hypothesized to be increases in
earnings, employment and job retention,
among others. Random assignment
limits the extent to which selection bias
drives observed results. The
demonstration will document the
progress of a group of housing voucher
holders, who were drawn from current
residents at the four Moving to Work
(MTW) Demonstration public housing
agencies (PHAs) that are participating in
the Rent Reform Demonstration:
(1) Lexington Housing Authority
(LHA), Lexington, Kentucky;
(2) Louisville Metro Housing
Authority (LMHA), Louisville,
