a Grantees
are expected to complete the Client Eligibility Documentation form for all applicants, an estimated total of 13,433 forms over the three-year period of the
OAHMP grant, or approximately 4,478 per year. This estimate is calculated based upon the assumption that 33% of applicants (approximately 4,433) will be determined ineligible for the program, and the $30 million in funding for the program will deliver home modifications to 9,000 eligible clients at an estimated average cost of
$3,000 per home.
b Grantees are required to complete forms for all cases lost to the evaluation, estimated at 2,790 forms per year. This total reflects the three categories of lost to
follow-up from the 4,478 estimated applicants per year: (1) 33% (∼1,478) expected to be determined ineligible; (2) an additional 25% (∼750) expected to decline to
participate in the evaluation; and (3) an additional 25% (∼562) expected to be lost to project follow up by the end of the evaluation period.
c Of the 3,000 clients per year, 75% (∼2,250) are expected to sign the Informed Consent to participate in the evaluation.
d One PM from each of up to 32 grantees will complete the Grantee Process Evaluation Online Survey annually.
e The Contractor will administer the Grantee Site Visit Interview Guide to up to two grantee representatives during up to 16 site visits.
f Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
