SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The goal of this study is to look systematically across the 
selected subset of ARP programs, to provide an integrated account of 
whether, how, and to what extent their implementation served to achieve 
their intended outcomes, particularly with respect to advancing equity.
    This package updates the generic requirement with instruments 
tailored to three specific in-depth evaluations, outlining the 
evaluation designs, information collection methods and instruments, and 
associated burden. The three evaluations are:

 Integration of Funding to Increase Equitable Access to 
Behavioral Health Crisis Services (Behavioral Health study)
 Local Innovations and Practices in the Equitable 
Implementation of ARP Programs to Reduce Homelessness (Homelessness 
study)
 State Coordination Strategies to Equitably Serve Children 
Through the American Rescue Plan (State Coordination Strategies study)

    The proposed information collection activities cover mixed-method 
approaches to implement primarily outcome and process evaluations. Data 
collection activities for these studies include: (1) interviews, (2) 
focus groups, (3) short surveys of program participants and/or eligible 
non-participants, and (4) data requests.
    Respondents: State and local program administrators, program staff, 
community-based program partners, and individuals who participate or 
are eligible to participate in the relevant ARP programs.

B. Annual Burden Estimates

    The burden estimates included in the supporting statements reflect 
the expectations for information collection and related activities 
associated with the conduct of this phase of three studies. During this 
phase, we anticipate information collection to include key informant 
interviews, web surveys,
    Total respondents: 569.
    Total Burden Hours: 432.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection 
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
