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 May 20,
2024 at 89 FR 43869.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of Emergency Housing
Voucher (EHV) Program.
MB 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 gather
information in support of the Evaluation of the Emergency Housing
Voucher Program. The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Program is one of
eight housing provisions that was included in the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 (ARP). Section 3202 of ARP provided $5 billion to HUD to
fund a temporary voucher program that, in part, supported roughly
70,000 incremental emergency vouchers to be allocated to Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) via formula.
The Evaluation of the EHV program will document the implementation
and early outcomes of the EHV Program through a mixed mode data
collection approach to provide a broad overview of the program
nationally.
[[Page 80591]]
Data collection activities planned to be carried out as part of the
evaluation include: (1) collecting HUD administrative data, (2) a
national web survey of 611 PHAs administering the EHV program and 371
referring partner Continuums of Care (CoCs), and (3) telephone/virtual
interviews with staff from a selected sample of communities, including
PHAs, CoCs, and other PHA partner organizations. The evaluation will
use a mixed-methods approach with administrative data and web survey
data to measure outcomes in key interest areas. The follow-up telephone
interviews will collect information on the experiences of program staff
in implementing the EHV program.
In total, HUD plans to conduct a web survey of 611 PHAs, a web
survey of 371 CoCs, and 50 telephone/virtual interviews (comprised of
interviews with 25 PHAs and 25 CoCs/partner organizations).
HUD will provide reasonable accommodations. Respondents who are
blind or have vision-related disabilities, deaf or hard of hearing, as
well as individuals with speech or communication disabilities can elect
to participate through a web-based version of the data collection or
through a telephone-based version of the data collection. HUD welcomes
and is prepared to receive calls from individuals who are deaf or hard
of hearing, as well as individuals with speech or communication
disabilities. To learn more about how to make an accessible telephone
call, please visit <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs">https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs</a>. We will use translation and/or
interpretation services as needed for individuals with Limited English
Proficiency.
