The Administration for

the challenges and unique opportunities
of administering human services
programs in rural contexts. Case studies
of 12 communities, in combination with
analysis of administrative data and
qualitative comparative analysis of the
qualitative data, will provide ACF with
a rich description of human services
programs in rural contexts and provide
ACF opportunities for strengthening
human services programs’ capacity to
promote the economic and social
wellbeing of individuals, families, and
communities in rural contexts.

about the collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF proposes to conduct
key informant interviews during site
visits to 12 rural communities. While

instruments:

Project Director (or their designee) will
complete a Site Visit Planning Template
to assist the study team in scheduling
site visit interviews.
• Three Site Visit Discussion Guides.
To systematically capture data on
challenges and unique opportunities,
the study team will conduct interviews
with (1) project directors and leaders
from human services organizations, (2)
staff from the human services and
partner organizations, and (3) staff from
nonprofit and partner organizations that
support individuals who utilize human
services.
Respondents: Human services project
directors and leadership staff, human
