Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program. OMB Approval Number: 2528-New. Type of Request: New Collection. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The purpose of this proposed information collection is to gather information in support of an evaluation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Eviction Protection Grant Program. The overall purpose of the Eviction Protection Grant Program is to support experienced legal service providers, not limited to legal service corporations, in providing legal assistance at no cost to low-income tenants at risk of or subject to eviction. In 2021, HUD selected 10 grantees for the first round of awards, and in FY 2022, HUD selected 11 additional grantees for the second round of awards. HUD’s evaluation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program will include data collection from the first two rounds of 21 grantees and their subrecipients that are helping to administer the program, as well as from program participants. The evaluation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program is a mixedmethods and multiphase study designed to understand how the grantees implemented this new program and to assess the effectiveness of the grant program in supporting low-income families at risk or facing eviction through the provision of legal assistance at no-cost to eligible households. The evaluation is comprised of an implementation analysis utilizing qualitative and quantitative data to understand how the Eviction Protection Grant Program reduces or prevents eviction among program participants. The evaluation will comprehensively document the implementation of the Eviction Protection Grant Program, PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 including a review and collection of data to understand successes and challenges to program implementation, the characteristics of grantees and other stakeholders, the types of client services provided, how grantees work with other social service providers, and program outcomes. Over the course of the evaluation, HUD plans to conduct two rounds of data collection. The first round of primary data collection will take place early in the grant period and be focused on assessing program rollout, program take-up, and program implementation. The second round of primary data collection will take place later in the grant period and will focus on the overall experience of grantees, subrecipients, and program participants with the Eviction Protection Grant Program. Each round of data collection will include semi-structured interviews with staff from each of the 21 grantees and their 21 subrecipients, as well as data collection from program participants to understand their perspective on the program. HUD intends to conduct focus groups with program participants, but if that is not feasible, HUD will conduct 1:1 online interviews with a sample of program participants. In the first round of data collection, HUD plans to conduct 42 semistructured interviews, which will include 126 grantee and subrecipient staff (an average of three staff per interview). In the second round of data collection, HUD again plans to conduct 42 semi-structured interviews, which will include 126 grantee and subrecipient staff (an average of three staff per interview). Across both rounds of data collection, HUD will facilitate 21 focus groups with 105 program participants (5 program participants per focus group), and 1:1 online interviews with 42 program participants. All outreach may be made available in language-appropriate materials suggested by grantees as relevant for their beneficiary population. Recruitment materials will also specify the process of requesting accommodations for people with limited English proficiency and reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities.
