seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the HUD-DOJ Pay for
Success Permanent Supportive Housing Demonstration.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-0319.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Justice
(DOJ) entered into an interagency collaboration that combines DOJ's
mission to promote safer communities by focusing on the reentry
population with HUD's mission to end chronic homelessness. This
collaboration resulted in the HUD-DOJ Pay for Success Permanent
Supportive Housing Demonstration with $8.68M awarded to seven
communities to develop supportive housing for persons cycling between
the jail or prison systems and the homeless service systems using pay
for success (PFS) as a funding mechanism. HUD announced seven grantees
from across the country in June 2016. As of August 2021, six grantee
communities remain. The PFS Demonstration grant supports activities
throughout the PFS lifecycle, including feasibility analysis,
transaction structuring, and outcome evaluation and success payments,
with each grantee receiving funds for different stages in the PFS
lifecycle. Through the national evaluation, which is funded through an
interagency agreement between HUD and DOJ and managed by HUD's Office
of Policy Development and Research, HUD-DOJ seek to assess whether PFS
is a viable model for scaling supportive housing to improve outcomes
for a re-entry population. The main goal of the evaluation is to learn
how the PFS model is implemented in diverse settings with different
structures, populations, and community contexts. The Urban Institute
has been conducting a multi-disciplinary, multi-method approach to
``learn as we do'' and meet the key objectives of the formative
evaluation. To understand project implementation, the evaluation
includes data collection on both the time that project partners
dedicate to each PFS project as well as PFS partner perceptions and
interactions and community-level changes that may benefit the target
population. This information collection request is for an ongoing time
survey and an annual partnership web survey. The time survey will be
used to assess staff time spent on development of each PFS project
throughout the different lifecycle phases and the partnership survey
will be used to document partner perceptions and interactions and
community-level changes that may benefit the target population.
