This information collection was originally approved for 6 months as an emergency approval. In addition to extending the approval, OCS seeks to update the burden estimates to accommodate an anticipated increase in the number of grant recipients, as well as to collect additional responses to several of the instruments. OCS also seeks to make updates to approved forms. SUMMARY: Comments due August 12, 2024. In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OCS is seeking to continue collecting the information requested from grant recipients under Office of Management and Budget #: 0970–0628. In order to determine best practices in the implementation of supportive services in the affordable housing context and describe how supportive services help residents to improve well-being and economic mobility, OCS will engage in the following activities: • Conducting interviews with program directors and caseworkers to understand program implementation. DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Conducting focus groups with residents to understand their needs and how the services funded by this grant impacted their lives. • Administering a self-sufficiency matrix to residents receiving intensive services to understand the impact of the program on various domains of wellbeing. • Conducting a questionnaire with residents to see if they were able to access more services due to the funding. • Collecting information from program officers about the number and types of services/events provided, aggregate demographics of residents served, partner organizations and referrals, and how the housing community was impacted by the grant funding. • Collecting narrative reports from program officers about the progress of implementation of the program. This request is to extend the approved collection period to 3 years, which will permit OCS to complete the collection with current grant recipients as well as future grant recipients. With an extended timeline, OCS will request additional responses for several approved instruments to observe activities over the course of the full project period for grant recipients. The self-sufficiency matrix and service receipt questionnaires will be administered every 6 months during the project period. The semi-annual report mandatory and optional forms will be required every 6 months, with a final cumulative report. The quarterly narrative PPR will be requested every quarter of the project period. OCS has developed substantially revised semi-annual report forms for the mandatory and optional reports to broaden the measures of service delivery and outcomes to better accommodate the universe of potential services offered by future cohorts of grant recipients. The new mandatory form combines the direct services and referrals tabs of the original form into a single tab where grant recipients will report the number of individuals receiving services through AHSSD funding and through the organization’s other funding sources, alongside the information reported about referrals. The new optional form broadens the list of outcome measures that grant recipients can choose to report for the individuals they serve. In consideration of the overall reporting burden for grant recipients, the revised forms continue to draw upon the service and outcome categories that grant recipients already use to report their CSBG-related activities (OMB# 0970–0492). Additionally, the revised forms request E:\FR\FM\12JNN1.SGM 12JNN1
