[FR Doc. 2024–12839 Filed 6–11–24; 8:45 am]
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
The Office of Community
Services (OCS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, is requesting an extension of
approval for a recently approved
information collection: OCS Affordable
Housing and Supportive Services
Demonstration (Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) #: 0970–0628;
Expiration Date: September 30, 2024).
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

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 12, 2024 / Notices
cumulative counts across the grant
period, negating the need for a separate
final report.
Current grant recipients will be able
to choose between using the current
forms and the revised forms through the
completion of their current project. New
grant recipients will be required to use
the revised forms.
Respondents: There will be three
types of respondents to the proposed
instruments. First, the direct
beneficiaries, the clients receiving
supportive services, will participate in
the service receipt questionnaire, selfsufficiency matrix, and focus groups,
and they will also provide information
about their characteristics, needs, and
outcomes for the grant recipients’ semiannual reporting. Second, the program
directors and social services staff will
respond to interview instruments
tailored to their roles. Grant recipients
will also be asked to complete quarterly
PPRs and semi-annual reports to
describe their service delivery activities,
and outcomes.
