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: Assessing CDBG-DR and Disaster
Recovery Outcomes of Renter Households.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-XXXX.
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. This research will be used
to assess renter outcomes, barriers to accessing recovery resources,
and mechanisms of Federal and local implementation of CDBG-DR grants.
Results from this study will support HUD in identifying opportunities
for changes to legislation, policy and program implementation in
disaster recovery to improve outcomes for renters.
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 renters,
including to better understand CDBG-DR allocations across housing
tenure, specifically for renters, identify successful processes with
corresponding outcomes for rental housing recovery aid programs and
translate this research into actionable programmatic recommendations
with appropriate timelines, policy making and implementation changes to
improve these outcomes. The study includes a survey, interviews and
focus groups in communities 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; 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 435 respondents. This includes: (1) 150 individual
qualitative interviews with renters, rental property developers and
landlords within the study area; (2) 185 responses to a renter focused
survey; (3); (4) 50 focus group participants in 5 focus groups; and (5)
50 responses to a survey of CDBG-DR recipients.
Estimated Time per Response: Interviews are expected to take one
hour each, surveys of renters are expected to take 30 minutes each,
surveys of CDBG-DR recipients are expected to take up to one hour each,
and renter focus groups are expected to take four hours and will meet
twice. The total estimated time is 692.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: One time for each interview and survey.
Focus groups will meet twice.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $30,576.48 for all individual
document/information solicited for related research activities covered
under approval for researchers conducting primary (interview, survey,
focus group) data collection and research participants.
The Table below provides the estimated burden hours for in-person
focus groups, interviews, and survey data collection. These estimates
assume the maximum targeted number of study participants and are
calculated as the time needed to complete individual surveys and
interviews or participate in focus groups.
Calculating the annual total cost burden to respondents, the
project team utilized Occupational Employment Statistics from the U.S.
Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify the median
hourly wages (as classified by Standard Occupational Classification,
SOC, codes) for potentially relevant occupations for interview and
focus group participants.
