SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from
OMB for the information collection described in Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HUD CDBG Disaster Recovery
Outcomes of Renter Households and Affordable Housing.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-Pending.
Type of Request: New data collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is proposing the
collection of information for the HUDRD CDBG Disaster Recovery Outcomes
of Renter Households Cooperative Agreement.
The goal of this research is to improve disaster recovery
effectiveness for renter households by examining the disaster recovery
outcomes of renter households and rental housing stock in places that
received Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants
(CDBG-DR). This research is expected to help the Federal government,
states, and communities throughout the United States improve disaster
recovery effectiveness for renter households by providing information
about how disaster recovery programs funded through CDBG-DR have
different impacts on renters and homeowners, and how disasters impact
affordable rental housing stock over time. It will further support HUD
in providing data and information on disaster recovery outcomes of
renter households and changes in rental housing dynamics in areas
impacted by disasters.
This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on
the information collection for this study titled HUDRD CDBG Disaster
Recovery Outcomes of Renter Households. The information collection is
designed to support the study of disaster outcomes on rental housing,
including the impacts to housing markets and renters; efforts that have
been implemented by federal, state, and local governments to mitigate
losses to affordable rental housing stock after disasters; and how
CDBG-DR requirements impact post-disaster efforts to address
rehabilitation, reconstruction, replacement, and new construction of
rental housing for low-and- moderate income households. The study
includes interviews and focus groups in three study communities in
jurisdictions that have received CDBG-DR funding.
Respondents: CDBG-DR grantee representatives and administrators;
elected and appointed government officials in CDBG-DR grantee
jurisdictions and municipalities; representatives from Community
Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) in CDBG-DR grantee
jurisdictions; representatives from Public Housing Agencies (PHA) in
CDBG-DR grantee jurisdictions; landlords and developers in CDBG-DR
grantee jurisdictions; representatives from housing and tenant advocacy
organizations; and renters living in CDBG-DR grantee jurisdictions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: This information collection will
affect approximately 190 respondents. This includes: (1) up to 20
individual qualitative interviews in each of three study communities
with CDBG-DR grantee representatives and administrators, elected and
appointed officials, CDFI representatives, and PHA representatives; (2)
up to two focus groups with up to 10 individuals per focus group with
landlords and developers in each of three study communities; (3) up to
two focus groups with up to 10 individuals per focus group with renters
in each of three study communities; (4) and up to 10 qualitative
interviews with HUD staff and other national professionals.
Estimated Time per Response: The qualitative interviews are
expected to take one hour per interview. The focus groups are expected
to take 1.5 hours per focus group.
Frequency of Response: One time for all interviews and focus
groups.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 250 hours for all interviews
and focus groups.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,335.20 for all qualitative
interviews and focus groups. To arrive at the dollar cost of the
estimated response burden, we have used estimates from the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics on average hourly earnings in January 2023. For
CDBG-DR administrators, HUD staff, and elected and appointed officials,
we use the overall occupational estimate for federal, state, and local
government employees ($30.85). For PHA staff and property owner staff,
we use the estimate for professional and business services ($39.64).
For representatives from CDFIs, private developers, private landlords,
advocacy organizations, renters, and other private sector
professionals, we use the estimate for all private sector employees
($33.03).
Of the up to 60 qualitative interviews planned in the study
communities described in the Estimated Number of Respondents section,
we assume an even distribution of subcategory targets; of the 10
qualitative interviews with HUD staff and other national professionals,
we assume up to five from the Federal, state, and local government BLS
category and up to five from the Private sector employees BLS category.
