Description: The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires
importers and manufacturers of tobacco
products, processed tobacco, or cigarette
papers and tubes to make reports
containing such information, in such
form, at such times, and for such
periods as the Secretary of the Treasury
prescribes by regulation. While
processed tobacco is not subject to
Federal excise tax under the IRC,
tobacco products subject to such taxes
may be manufactured using processed
tobacco. To protect the revenue by
preventing diversion of processed
tobacco to illegal, unpermitted tobacco
product manufacturers, TTB has issued
regulations that require persons holding
TTB permits as importers or
manufacturers of processed tobacco or
tobacco products to report all removals,
transfers, or sales of processed tobacco
made for export or for shipment to any
domestic entity that does not hold a
such a permit or a permit to operate as
an export warehouse proprietor. In
general, respondents must report each
such shipment by the close of the next
business day using form TTB F 5250.2.
However, exporters may apply to TTB to
report removals made for export using a
monthly summary report. TTB F 5250.2
and the monthly summary report
require information identifying the TTB
permit holder making the processed
tobacco shipment, the type and quantity
of processed tobacco shipped, the
person(s) purchasing (or receiving) and
delivering the processed tobacco, and
the destination address of the shipment.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Agreement for a Social Impact
Partnership Project
Department of the Treasury.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Social
Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results
Act (‘‘SIPPRA’’), the U.S. Department of
the Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’) has entered
into six agreements for social impact
partnership projects (the ‘‘Project Grant
Agreement’’) with the following
recipients; (1) City of Boise, ID ($7.5
million), (2) City of Jacksonville, FL
($5.8 million), (3) City of New York, NY
($6.3 million), (4) School Board of Leon
County, FL ($4.6 million), (5) County of
New Castle, DE ($11 million), and (6)
County of Spartanburg, SC ($11.5
million) for a total award amount of
$46.9 million.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
The Project Grant Agreement for the
City of Boise, ID (Boise) Contains the
Following Features
1. The outcome goals of the social
impact partnership project:
Boise expects to realize a reduction in
healthcare expenditures covered by
Medicaid, including emergency room
visits, hospital overnight stays,
ambulance rides, detox visits, and
savings due to a reduction in arrests and
cost associated with county correctional
facilities. The project objective is to
decrease these expenditures by 25
percent.
2. A description of each intervention
in the project:
Boise and its partners (the Idaho
Community Foundation (ICF), and Terry
Reilly Health Services (TRHS)) propose

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices
the Permanent Supportive Housing
Pipeline Pay for Success project (the
PSHP). The PSHP will provide
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
and services using an Intensive Case
Management (ICM) model including
wrap-around services to 143 prioritized
households who are experiencing longterm homelessness and have high
service needs. These households are at
increased risk for avoidable, high-cost
service utilization paid through local,
state, and federal outlays.
3. The target population that will be
served by the project:
The target population is households
with and without children experiencing
long-term homelessness with at least
one household member with at least one
morbidity condition (chronic health
condition, mental health condition, or
substance use) in Ada County, Idaho. In
Ada County, 765 households meet these
criteria. Boise expects the project to
reach 159 adults and 64 children.

10. The evaluation design:
To determine significance of impact,
IPI will employ the following evaluative
strategies: (1) a regression discontinuity,
(2) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
omnibus test, and (3) paired pairwise ttest. To determine the amount of any net
reductions in local, state, and federal
expenditures, IPI will facilitate
collection of the utilization and costs
data for 36 months prior to Participants
entering the intervention (time 0) and
annually thereafter. To determine the
amount of any net reductions in
expenditures, IPI will compare the
associated utilization costs for enrolled
Participants against those not enrolled
using individual-level data.
11. The metrics that will be used in
the evaluation to determine whether the
outcomes have been achieved as a result
of each intervention and how these
metrics will be measured:
The metrics used will be:
• Reduction in costs related to arrests
and jail.
• Reduction in costs related to the
number of days in mental health and
substance abuse treatment.
• Reduction in costs associated with
paramedic calls, emergency department
visits, and days in the hospital.

or older experiencing unsheltered
homelessness in New York City over 2years, with services provided for up to
a 39-month intervention period.
4. The expected social benefits to
participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be
impacted:
New York City anticipates that this
intervention will lead to improvements
in quality of life associated with
improved housing stability, increased
access to healthcare, and decreased
burden of disease. In addition, New
York City expects that the
improvements to the individual’s
housing stability will lower government
spending related to emergency room
visits and criminal justice systems
interactions. Reducing unsheltered
homelessness among this vulnerable
population is expected to have a wide
range of broader social benefits as well,
including improved conditions on
public transit (especially increased
cleanliness and perceived safety, which
could lead to increased ridership), and
improved conditions in other public
spaces.

family reunification) and stable shelter
defined as a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other
emergency housing setting that lasts at

2. A description of each intervention
in the project:
The Coordinated Behavioral Task
Force (CBHT)—3 Initiative by the New
York City Department of Homeless
Services (DHS) is a project to assist
different segments of the unsheltered
homeless population in New York City
by providing homeless individuals with
transitional housing and connecting
them to services through intensive
outreach, engagement, and care
coordination. This project is focused on
clients who are resistant to service
engagement or entrenched in an
unsheltered setting. The CBHT model
coordinates representatives from State
and local agencies and organizations to
provide enhanced clinical and thorough
case management services and to create
service plans which will move the
individual into supportive housing and
connections to services through targeted
interventions.
3. The target population that will be
served by the project:
This program targets high acuity (e.g.,
severity of an illness or medical
condition) individuals experiencing
unsheltered homelessness. DHS expects

Needs Individuals—Above Ground, and
End of Line (EOL) High Service
Utilizers. Eligibility criteria for the first
two task forces were determined by DHS
in collaboration with operational and
social services partners. Based on
recommendations from DHS’s partners,
it was determined that in order to be
selected for inclusion in the Subway
System or Above Ground CBHT, an
individual would have to meet 4 of 10
criteria related to medical vulnerability,
older age, long-term street
homelessness, a history of
hospitalizations, a history of
involuntary removals, repeated service
refusal, significant behavioral health
diagnosis, heightened NYPD/MTA
interactions, excessive belongings with
them, and propensity for violence.
Eligibility criteria for the EOL High
Utilizers Task Force were developed
based on early outcomes from the DHS
EOL initiative. The EOL initiative
focuses on engaging individuals at ‘‘End
of line’’ stations—that is, the first and
last stations of a given subway line—
and bringing individuals into
transitional housing beds. A January
2024 study by the DSS Office of
Evaluation and Research identified a
small group of individuals that
repeatedly cycled between transitional
housing and EOL stations. While
accounting for less than 6% of
approximately 5,000 unique clients
served by the EOL initiative during a 17month study period, this group
accounted for roughly one-third of all
transitional housing placements made
in that time. This population will serve
as the target population for the EOL task
force.
10. The evaluation design:
The evaluation will employ a quasiexperimental design to rigorously assess
the CBHT–3 Initiative’s effectiveness in
achieving its goal of stably housing
individuals with complex health and
mental health needs and long histories
of unsheltered homelessness.
Specifically, the evaluation will assess
whether the initiative meets the
outcome target of a 25-percentage point
increase in the rate of stable housing or
stable shelter. The initiative expects to
achieve this impact by transitioning
50% of the treatment group into stable
housing as compared to a 25% rate
among the comparison group, with
stable housing defined as a permanent
housing placement and stable shelter
defined a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other
emergency housing setting that lasts at
least 6 months. The evaluation will also
measure any associated reductions in
hospitalization (after an expected initial
increase to stabilize health and mental
health conditions), emergency room
visits, transports to emergency housing,
and arrests. An implementation
evaluation will offer further insight into
the initiative’s activities and
participants’ experiences. Comparison
groups for the Subway System and
Above Ground task force clients will be
identified using propensity score
matching, drawing on a rich set of
longitudinal case management data to
ensure matched groups. A comparison
group for the EOL task force will be
identified using random assignment
from among those repeatedly cycling
through the EOL initiative.
11. The metrics that will be used in
the evaluation to determine whether the
outcomes have been achieved as a result
of each intervention and how these
metrics will be measured:
Whether New York City has
successfully transitioned 50% of the
treatment group into stable housing or
stable shelter as compared to a 25% rate
among the comparison group, with
stable housing defined as a permanent
housing placement and stable shelter
defined as a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other
emergency housing setting that lasts at
least 6 months.
12. The estimate of the savings to the
Federal, State, and local government, on
a program-by-program basis and in the
aggregate, if the agreement is entered
into and implemented and the outcomes
are achieved as a result of each
intervention:

8. The project timeline:
There is a seven-year intervention
period. The project will begin the
intervention in year two (2025) and end
in year seven (2030), allowing for
sufficient time for the independent
evaluator to compete their assessment.
9. The project eligibility criteria:
The project is providing universal
access to every family with newborns
and young children within Leon
County.
10. The evaluation design:
The use of quasi-experimental design
is particularly suitable given the nonrandomizable nature of the
interventions being assessed. The use of
synthetic control methodology
accommodates the study’s needs by
allowing the integration of multiple data
points (encompassing both health and
educational metrics) to create a holistic
view of each participant group. This
methodology not only supports the
establishment of a strong causal linkage
between the interventions and observed
outcomes but also provides a detailed
counterfactual analysis.
11. The metrics that will be used in
the evaluation to determine whether the
outcomes have been achieved as a result
of each intervention and how these
metrics will be measured:
The number of emergency room visits
per newborn, the prevalence of
depressive symptoms among mothers,
assessed at regular intervals, and school
readiness indicators such as school
entry assessments and teacher
evaluations of readiness.
12. The estimate of the savings to the
Federal, State, and local government, on
a program-by-program basis and in the
aggregate, if the agreement is entered
into and implemented and the outcomes
are achieved as a result of each
intervention:
The estimated savings to the federal
government is $11,418,762.
The estimated savings to the State of
Florida is $5,132,751.
The Project Grant Agreement for the
County of New Castle, DE (New Castle
County) Contains the Following
Features
1. The outcome goals of the social
impact partnership project:
The expected outcomes include a
26.1% increase in permanent housing
retention (proportion of families living
in own rental home) and 29.7%
decrease in avoidance of shelter stays
(proportion of families with at least one
night in emergency shelter).
2. A description of each intervention
in the project:
The Family Housing Opportunities for
Purposeful Empowerment Project (the
Family HOPE Project)—a partnership
between New Castle County and the
Hope Center, an emergency shelter—
will provide up to 90 days of temporary
housing at the Hope Center, two years
of rental assistance (disbursed as direct
cash payments), and two years of case
management and supportive services

(such as financial counseling) for 120
families over about four years.
3. The target population that will be
served by the project:
The target population is homeless
families who are not currently receiving
a rental subsidy, housing voucher, or
other form of public housing and have
a household income less than 50% of
the Area Median Income (AMI) in New
Castle County.
4. The expected social benefits to
participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be
impacted:
The program aims to reduce family
homelessness by (1) improving
permanent housing retention and (2)
decreasing emergency shelter stays.
Through permanent housing retention,
the Recipient expects to reduce state
and local expenditures on (a) the
judicial and legal system cost of
intimate partner violence, (b) police
protection costs of intimate partner
violence, (c) costs to child welfare
agencies of out-of-home placements,
and (d) reductions from eviction-related
costs. The Recipient also expects that
reducing shelter stays will lower
federal, state, and local expenditures on
emergency shelter stays, transitional
housing stays, and public-school
transportation.
5. The detailed roles, responsibilities,
and purposes of each Federal, State, or
local government entity, intermediary,
service provider, independent evaluator,
investor, or other stakeholder:

Results Act (``SIPPRA''), the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(``Treasury'') has entered into six agreements for social impact
partnership projects (the ``Project Grant Agreement'') with the
following recipients; (1) City of Boise, ID ($7.5 million), (2) City of
Jacksonville, FL ($5.8 million), (3) City of New York, NY ($6.3
million), (4) School Board of Leon County, FL ($4.6 million), (5)
County of New Castle, DE ($11 million), and (6) County of Spartanburg,
SC ($11.5 million) for a total award amount of $46.9 million.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Project Grant Agreement for the City of Boise, ID (Boise) Contains
the Following Features
1. The outcome goals of the social impact partnership project:
Boise expects to realize a reduction in healthcare expenditures
covered by Medicaid, including emergency room visits, hospital
overnight stays, ambulance rides, detox visits, and savings due to a
reduction in arrests and cost associated with county correctional
facilities. The project objective is to decrease these expenditures by
25 percent.
2. A description of each intervention in the project:
Boise and its partners (the Idaho Community Foundation (ICF), and
Terry Reilly Health Services (TRHS)) propose
[[Page 106754]]
the Permanent Supportive Housing Pipeline Pay for Success project (the
PSHP). The PSHP will provide Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and
services using an Intensive Case Management (ICM) model including wrap-
around services to 143 prioritized households who are experiencing
long-term homelessness and have high service needs. These households
are at increased risk for avoidable, high-cost service utilization paid
through local, state, and federal outlays.
3. The target population that will be served by the project:
The target population is households with and without children
experiencing long-term homelessness with at least one household member
with at least one morbidity condition (chronic health condition, mental
health condition, or substance use) in Ada County, Idaho. In Ada
County, 765 households meet these criteria. Boise expects the project
to reach 159 adults and 64 children.
4. The expected social benefits to participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be impacted:
The primary expected social benefits from the project include:
Reduced rate of homelessness among the most vulnerable
populations;
Reduced utilization of emergency medical services;
Decreased criminal justice involvement; and

9. The project eligibility criteria:
Eligible households must have at least 12 points from the Length of
Time and at least 3 points from the Tri-Morbidity sections of the PSHP
Prioritization Formula outlined in Table 2. Those households that are
both eligible for the PSHP and score the highest on the prioritization
formula will be referred for enrollment. Ties will be broken in through
coordinated clinical discretion, driven by self-reported health and
criminal data and corroborating system utilization data available at
the time of referral.

10. The evaluation design:
To determine significance of impact, IPI will employ the following
evaluative strategies: (1) a regression discontinuity, (2) Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) omnibus test, and (3) paired pairwise t-test. To
determine the amount of any net reductions in local, state, and federal
expenditures, IPI will facilitate collection of the utilization and
costs data for 36 months prior to Participants entering the
intervention (time 0) and annually thereafter. To determine the amount
of any net reductions in expenditures, IPI will compare the associated
utilization costs for enrolled Participants against those not enrolled
using individual-level data.
11. The metrics that will be used in the evaluation to determine
whether the outcomes have been achieved as a result of each
intervention and how these metrics will be measured:
The metrics used will be:
Reduction in costs related to arrests and jail.
Reduction in costs related to the number of days in mental
health and substance abuse treatment.
Reduction in costs associated with paramedic calls,
emergency department visits, and days in the hospital.
12. The estimate of the savings to the Federal, State, and local
government, on a program-by-program basis and in the aggregate, if the
agreement is entered into and implemented and the outcomes are achieved

The Project Grant Agreement for the City of New York, NY (New York
City) Contains the Following Features
1. The outcome goals of the social impact partnership project:
The expected outcome for this intervention is a 25-percentage point
increase in the rate of stable housing or stable shelter (achieving 50%
for the treatment group versus 25% of the comparison group) with stable
housing defined as a permanent housing placement (e.g., permanent
supportive housing, Long Term Nursing Care, family reunification) and
stable shelter defined as a continuous stay in a low-barrier
stabilization bed or other emergency housing setting that lasts at
least 6 months.
2. A description of each intervention in the project:
The Coordinated Behavioral Task Force (CBHT)--3 Initiative by the
New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is a project to
assist different segments of the unsheltered homeless population in New
York City by providing homeless individuals with transitional housing
and connecting them to services through intensive outreach, engagement,
and care coordination. This project is focused on clients who are
resistant to service engagement or entrenched in an unsheltered
setting. The CBHT model coordinates representatives from State and
local agencies and organizations to provide enhanced clinical and
thorough case management services and to create service plans which
will move the individual into supportive housing and connections to
services through targeted interventions.
3. The target population that will be served by the project:
This program targets high acuity (e.g., severity of an illness or
medical condition) individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
DHS expects to enroll about 400 individuals aged 18 or older
experiencing unsheltered homelessness in New York City over 2-years,
with services provided for up to a 39-month intervention period.
4. The expected social benefits to participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be impacted:
New York City anticipates that this intervention will lead to
improvements in quality of life associated with improved housing
stability, increased access to healthcare, and decreased burden of
disease. In addition, New York City expects that the improvements to
the individual's housing stability will lower government spending
related to emergency room visits and criminal justice systems
interactions. Reducing unsheltered homelessness among this vulnerable
population is expected to have a wide range of broader social benefits
as well, including improved conditions on public transit (especially
increased cleanliness and perceived safety, which could lead to
increased ridership), and improved conditions in other public spaces.

8. The project timeline:
This project has a five-year project timeline from January 1, 2025,
through December 31, 2029. The project intervention period, defined as
the period in which services will be delivered, will be 39 months, from
July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028.
9. The project eligibility criteria:
The CBHT-3 initiative will include 3 task forces serving high needs
individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness: High Needs
Individuals--Subway System, High
[[Page 106757]]
Needs Individuals--Above Ground, and End of Line (EOL) High Service
Utilizers. Eligibility criteria for the first two task forces were
determined by DHS in collaboration with operational and social services
partners. Based on recommendations from DHS's partners, it was
determined that in order to be selected for inclusion in the Subway
System or Above Ground CBHT, an individual would have to meet 4 of 10
criteria related to medical vulnerability, older age, long-term street
homelessness, a history of hospitalizations, a history of involuntary
removals, repeated service refusal, significant behavioral health
diagnosis, heightened NYPD/MTA interactions, excessive belongings with
them, and propensity for violence.
Eligibility criteria for the EOL High Utilizers Task Force were
developed based on early outcomes from the DHS EOL initiative. The EOL
initiative focuses on engaging individuals at ``End of line''
stations--that is, the first and last stations of a given subway line--
and bringing individuals into transitional housing beds. A January 2024
study by the DSS Office of Evaluation and Research identified a small
group of individuals that repeatedly cycled between transitional
housing and EOL stations. While accounting for less than 6% of
approximately 5,000 unique clients served by the EOL initiative during
a 17-month study period, this group accounted for roughly one-third of
all transitional housing placements made in that time. This population
will serve as the target population for the EOL task force.
10. The evaluation design:
The evaluation will employ a quasi-experimental design to
rigorously assess the CBHT-3 Initiative's effectiveness in achieving
its goal of stably housing individuals with complex health and mental
health needs and long histories of unsheltered homelessness.
Specifically, the evaluation will assess whether the initiative meets
the outcome target of a 25-percentage point increase in the rate of
stable housing or stable shelter. The initiative expects to achieve
this impact by transitioning 50% of the treatment group into stable
housing as compared to a 25% rate among the comparison group, with
stable housing defined as a permanent housing placement and stable
shelter defined a continuous stay in a low-barrier stabilization bed or
other emergency housing setting that lasts at least 6 months. The
evaluation will also measure any associated reductions in
hospitalization (after an expected initial increase to stabilize health
and mental health conditions), emergency room visits, transports to
emergency housing, and arrests. An implementation evaluation will offer
further insight into the initiative's activities and participants'
experiences. Comparison groups for the Subway System and Above Ground
task force clients will be identified using propensity score matching,
drawing on a rich set of longitudinal case management data to ensure
matched groups. A comparison group for the EOL task force will be
identified using random assignment from among those repeatedly cycling
through the EOL initiative.
11. The metrics that will be used in the evaluation to determine
whether the outcomes have been achieved as a result of each
intervention and how these metrics will be measured:
Whether New York City has successfully transitioned 50% of the
treatment group into stable housing or stable shelter as compared to a
25% rate among the comparison group, with stable housing defined as a
permanent housing placement and stable shelter defined as a continuous
stay in a low-barrier stabilization bed or other emergency housing
setting that lasts at least 6 months.
12. The estimate of the savings to the Federal, State, and local
government, on a program-by-program basis and in the aggregate, if the
agreement is entered into and implemented and the outcomes are achieved
as a result of each intervention:
The estimated savings to the federal government are $19,893,775.
The estimated savings to the State of New York are $9,912,081.
There are not estimated savings to the City of New York.
The total net savings are $23,822,017.

1. The outcome goals of the social impact partnership project:
Leon County will seek outcomes from two interventions, (1) Family
Connects, a universal postpartum nurse home visiting program under
which Leon County expects to see a significant reduction in newborn
emergency room visits and (2), Reach Out and Read a literacy initiative
working through pediatric care providers which seeks to reduce maternal
depression.
2. A description of each intervention in the project:
As stated above, Leon County's project has two interventions. The
first, Family Connects, is a universal nurse home visit for new parents
to reduce infant emergency medical care visits and maternal postpartum
depression rates. The second, Reach Out and Read, is a universal early

8. The project timeline:
There is a seven-year intervention period. The project will begin
the intervention in year two (2025) and end in year seven (2030),
allowing for sufficient time for the independent evaluator to compete
their assessment.
9. The project eligibility criteria:
The project is providing universal access to every family with
newborns and young children within Leon County.
10. The evaluation design:
The use of quasi-experimental design is particularly suitable given
the non-randomizable nature of the interventions being assessed. The
use of synthetic control methodology accommodates the study's needs by
allowing the integration of multiple data points (encompassing both
health and educational metrics) to create a holistic view of each
participant group. This methodology not only supports the establishment
of a strong causal linkage between the interventions and observed
outcomes but also provides a detailed counterfactual analysis.
11. The metrics that will be used in the evaluation to determine
whether the outcomes have been achieved as a result of each
intervention and how these metrics will be measured:
The number of emergency room visits per newborn, the prevalence of
depressive symptoms among mothers, assessed at regular intervals, and
school readiness indicators such as school entry assessments and
teacher evaluations of readiness.
12. The estimate of the savings to the Federal, State, and local
government, on a program-by-program basis and in the aggregate, if the
agreement is entered into and implemented and the outcomes are achieved
as a result of each intervention:
The estimated savings to the federal government is $11,418,762.
The estimated savings to the State of Florida is $5,132,751.
The Project Grant Agreement for the County of New Castle, DE (New
Castle County) Contains the Following Features
1. The outcome goals of the social impact partnership project:
The expected outcomes include a 26.1% increase in permanent housing
retention (proportion of families living in own rental home) and 29.7%
decrease in avoidance of shelter stays (proportion of families with at
least one night in emergency shelter).
2. A description of each intervention in the project:
The Family Housing Opportunities for Purposeful Empowerment Project
(the Family HOPE Project)--a partnership between New Castle County and
the Hope Center, an emergency shelter--will provide up to 90 days of
temporary housing at the Hope Center, two years of rental assistance
(disbursed as direct cash payments), and two years of case management
and supportive services (such as financial counseling) for 120 families
over about four years.
3. The target population that will be served by the project:
The target population is homeless families who are not currently
receiving a rental subsidy, housing voucher, or other form of public
housing and have a household income less than 50% of the Area Median
Income (AMI) in New Castle County.
4. The expected social benefits to participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be impacted:
The program aims to reduce family homelessness by (1) improving
permanent housing retention and (2) decreasing emergency shelter stays.
Through permanent housing retention, the Recipient expects to reduce
state and local expenditures on (a) the judicial and legal system cost
of intimate partner violence, (b) police protection costs of intimate
partner violence, (c) costs to child welfare agencies of out-of-home
placements, and (d) reductions from eviction-related costs. The
Recipient also expects that reducing shelter stays will lower federal,
state, and local expenditures on emergency shelter stays, transitional
housing stays, and public-school transportation.
5. The detailed roles, responsibilities, and purposes of each

in New Castle County, and (3) are not currently receiving a rental
subsidy, housing voucher, or other form of public housing. Sex
offenders are not eligible for the Family HOPE Project.
10. Evaluation design:
The study is a quasi-experimental design that compares the housing
security outcomes of two groups: (1) a program group who receives a 2-
year 90% fair market rent (FMR) monthly cash assistance following a
temporary maximum 90-day stay at the Hope Center (n=120) and (2) a
household socio-demographic matched control group sourced from CMIS,
which is composed of families on any waitlist for the Delaware State
Housing Authority (DSHA)--or local-level housing authorities in New
Castle County--Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Program as
well as with start and exit dates to any housing program (e.g.,
emergency shelters, temporary housing, rapid re-rehousing) that match
our study inclusion period (n=120). They will randomize controls at the
family unit but will observe outcomes at the individual participant
family head of household level, potentially boosting the study's power.
There are 2 independent matched groups of 60 in this overall study,
totaling 120 controls and 120 families receiving cash rental
assistance. Cohort 1 begins in Q3 of 2025, with cohort 2 following a
year later, begins in Q3 of 2026. The design incorporates one-to-one
propensity score matching.
11. The metrics that will be used in the evaluation to determine
whether the outcomes have been achieved as a result of each
intervention and how these metrics will be measured:
The following metrics will be used:
Permanent Housing Retention: The proportion of families
ultimately living in their own rental home
Avoidance of the Shelter Stay: The proportion of families with
at least 1 night in emergency shelter
12. The estimate of the savings to the Federal, State, and local
government, on a program-by-program basis and in the aggregate, if the
agreement is entered into and implemented and the outcomes are achieved
as a result of each intervention:
The estimated savings to the federal government are $269,257.
The estimated savings to the State of Delaware are $12,843,519.
The estimated savings to the County of New Castle are $361,404.

8. The project timeline:
There is a seven-year intervention period. The project will begin
the intervention in year two (2025) and end in year seven (2030),
allowing for sufficient time for the independent evaluator to compete
their assessment.
9. The project eligibility criteria:
The BirthMatters program is open to all young, low-income mothers
residing in Spartanburg County. The Family Connects program is open to
all mothers in Spartanburg County.
10. The evaluation design:

Synthetic Control Methodology (SCM), is driven by the need for an
assessment framework that allows for the control of confounding
variables in non-randomized environments, especially given the prospect
of bringing to scale models that are offered to all families. This
evaluation seeks to quantify the effects of targeted interventions on
key parameters such as Kindergarten Readiness and specific health
outcomes indicative of infant and maternal health.
11. The metrics that will be used in the evaluation to determine
whether the outcomes have been achieved as a result of each
intervention and how these metrics will be measured:
The metrics used in the evaluation include costs associated with a
reduction in newborn ER visits and a reduction in costs associated with
low birthweight.
12. The estimate of the savings to the Federal, State, and local
government, on a program-by-program basis and in the aggregate, if the
agreement is entered into and implemented and the outcomes are achieved
as a result of each intervention:
The estimated savings to the federal government is $11,2029.
The estimated savings to the State of South Carolina is $4,876,774.
