Title of Collection: ARP HCY SEA and LEA National Study Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
Type of Review: New ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,936.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,290.
Abstract: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) included an
unprecedented $800 million to support the specific needs of homeless
children and youth via the American Rescue Plan Elementary and
Secondary School Emergency Relief--Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-
HCY) Fund. State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational
agencies (LEAs) must use ARP-HCY funds within the three-year funding
period, to identify and serve children and youth experiencing
homelessness with wrap-around services addressing challenges related to
COVID-19, to enable them to attend school and fully participate in
school activities. As a one-time grant program with three years of
funding administered as part of the American Rescue Plan, this new data
collection for the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) seeks
to understand how funds under this grant program are being used.
Specifically, the Department is seeking to learn about the
distribution of ARP-HCY funds by SEAs, the characteristics of LEAs
receiving funds, and the characteristics of LEAs who chose not to
participate in the distribution of funds in each state. Additionally,
the Department would like to gather information on how SEAs are using
the funds that were set aside at the State level of the program and how
LEAs are using funds received from this program.
This is a request for a new collection, the ARP-HCY National Study,
which will utilize a survey of all SEAs (ARP-HCY SEA Survey) and a
representative sample of state and national LEAs (ARP-HCY LEA Survey)
to answer evaluation research questions.
