SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on March
10, 2023 at 88 FR 15061.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Study of Child Care in Public
Housing: PHA and ECE Center Interviews Data Collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
purpose of this proposed information collection is to interview key
stakeholders and HUD assisted families to support the Study of
Childcare in Public Housing. This is a multi-site study including six
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in three states.
Individual interviews will be conducted with key stakeholders and
PHA residents in each of the six sites.\1\ These interviews are key to
our understanding of the Early Care and Education (ECE) needs,
preferences, and use of families in PHA-owned housing. Furthermore,
these interviews will help us better understand the barriers and
facilitators to operating co-located PHA and ECE programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Interviews with state-level stakeholders will primarily be
conducted virtually. Interviews with site-level stakeholders and
families will primarily be held in person, depending on public
health guidelines at the time of data collection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stakeholder interviews: Within each site, a key set of stakeholders
will be identified through the landscape scan. Key stakeholders will
include those involved in the operations of either a PHA, an ECE
program, or a co-located ECE program in PHA housing in a given
community. Within each site, we anticipate conducting up to 16
stakeholder interviews with a mix of virtual or in-person interviews,
depending on the preferences of the stakeholders and local public
health guidelines.\2\ Potential stakeholders may include: PHA
directors, PHA resident advisory board members, PHA supportive service
staff, Head Start grantee directors, Pre-K directors, child care
resource and referral centers, state child care subsidy office
directors, and state Head Start Collaboration Office directors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ We anticipate one to two interviews per stakeholder group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We anticipate conducting semi-structured interviews with key
stakeholders. Interview questions will address, but not be limited to,
the following topics: (1) Whether there is a co-located ECE; (2) If
there is a co-located ECE, processes for licensure and quality rating
assessments (if applicable); (3) Facilitators and challenges with
operating co-located ECE (as applicable); (4) How local ECE policies
effect the colocation of ECE and PHAs; (5) How PHAs support families in
accessing ECE; (6) Proximity of ECE programs to PHA (e.g., whether the
program is in a child care desert or location with many options
available); and (7) Characteristics of local ECE programs (e.g., cost,
capacity, licensure status, ages served, home- or center-based, and
hours of operation).
PHA resident interviews: In-depth interviews are critical to
understanding sensitive topics that people might be reluctant to
discuss in a group. Given our previous experience with qualitative data
collection in various housing programs and contexts, we anticipate that
individual interviews will allow us to better understand the specific
needs and experiences of families. We plan to work closely with
resident advisory boards and key stakeholders in each site to identify
the best process for recruiting families to participate in the study.
Recruitment strategies will be responsive to local contexts and
sensitive to families' preferences. We anticipate recruiting families
with diverse needs and experiences, including variation in child age,
employment status, and childcare arrangements. We will work with the
resident advisory board, as applicable, to vet interview questions
prior to data collection.
We anticipate conducting semi-structured interviews with residents.
Interview questions will address, but not be limited to, the following
topics: (1) ECE needs, preferences, and use; (2) What families look for
in terms of the quality of care; (3) Facilitators and barriers to
accessing ECE (e.g., cost, location, etc.), (4) Interest and use of co-
located ECE programs; and (5) Support received from PHAs in accessing
ECE.
This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on
the data collection instruments and associated materials to be
administered to the participants in the Study of Childcare in Public
Housing.
Respondents: Public.
