Title of Proposal: Evaluation of the Rapid Re-housing for Homeless
Families Demonstration Program.
OMB Control Number: XXXX--pending.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Participation Agreement (for the collection of informed consent and
contact information), the 6-month Tracking Letter, and the Participant
Follow-up Survey Instruments are all necessary to conduct the
evaluation of the Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program.
The FY 2008 budget for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (H.R. 2764) included a $25 million set-aside to implement a
Rapid Re-housing for Families Demonstration (RRHD) Program ``expressly
for the purposes of providing housing and services to homeless
families.'' Also included in the legislation was a requirement that
there be an evaluation of the demonstration program ``in order to
evaluate the effectiveness of the rapid re-housing approach in
addressing the needs of homeless families.'' These instruments
establish the research foundation on which the Department can meet that
direction. They will permit the research team to identify a cohort of
RRHD program participants and to track and measure the outcomes of
participants 12 months after program completion.
Members of affected public: Households.

information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
