HUD Master Models (2007) HH & Lead Technical Studies Programs
HH-LTS Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies Programs
To improve the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of methods for the evaluation and/or control of housing related health hazards.
Need Statement
There is a need for more efficient, effective and less costly methods to evaluate (test for, identify) and control (mitigate) housing related health hazards.

Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.
An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.
Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.
Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.
Analysis of data to determine the relationship of outputs to outcomes; what outputs produce which outcomes.
HUD Will Use The Following Questions To Evaluate Your Program
Were the approved study activities followed?
Did the project achieve its study objectives?
Were there any activities that significantly changed during project implementation and why?
What are the key findings reported in your manuscript to be submitted for publication?
The above Management Questions developed for your program are based on the Carter-Richmond Methodology1. A description of the Carter-Richmond Methodology appears in the General Section of the NOFA.
