Abstract: Authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12351, the Transitional Housing
Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence,
Sexual Assault and Stalking Program (Transitional Housing Program)
supports programs that provide 6-24 months of transitional housing with
support services for victims who are homeless or in need of
transitional housing or other housing assistance, as a result of a
situation of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or
stalking; and for whom emergency shelter services or other crisis
intervention services are unavailable or insufficient.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Semi-Annual Progress Report
for Grantees of the Transitional Housing Assistance Grant Program.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: 1122-0016.
Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well
as the obligation to respond: The affected public includes the
approximately 120 grantees of the Transitional Housing Program whose
eligibility is determined by statute. This discretionary grant program
provides transitional housing, short-term housing assistance, and
related support services for individuals who are homeless, or in need
of transitional housing or other housing assistance, as a result of
fleeing a situation of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking, and for whom emergency shelter services or other
crisis intervention services are unavailable or insufficient. Eligible
applicants are States, units of local government, Indian tribal
governments, and other organizations, including domestic violence and
sexual assault victim services providers, domestic violence or sexual
assault coalitions, other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations, or
community-based and
[[Page 54069]]
culturally specific organizations, that have a documented history of
effective work concerning domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking. The obligation to respond is required to obtain/
retain a benefit.
4. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that it will take the approximately 120 respondents (Transitional
Housing Program grantees) approximately one hour to complete a semi-
annual progress report. The semi-annual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different types of activities in which
grantees may engage. A Transitional Housing Program grantee will only
be required to complete the sections of the form that pertain to its
own specific activities.
5. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: It is estimated that it will take the
approximately 120 respondents (Transitional Housing Program grantees)
approximately one hour to complete a semi-annual progress report. The
semi-annual progress report is divided into sections that pertain to
the different types of activities in which grantees may engage. A
Transitional Housing Program grantee will only be required to complete
the sections of the form that pertain to its own specific activities.
6. The total annual hour burden to complete the data collection
forms is 240 hours, that is 120 grantees completing a form twice a year
with an estimated completion time for the form being one hour.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: The annualized costs to the Federal
Government resulting from the OVW staff review of the progress reports
submitted by grantees are estimated to be $13,440.
