Introduction

Hello, my name is ______________ and I work for Abt Associates. We are assisting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to evaluate the Alternative Housing Pilot Program (AHPP). One way in which we are studying the AHPP is to talk to people that are living in AHPP units to see how things are going for them since they moved in. We’ll ask them some questions about how they like the unit itself, how it compares to other places that they have lived, and how the family likes the unit. I’d like to know if you are willing to take a few minutes to complete this study with me now. The survey is voluntary and will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. The collection of this information has been approved by OMB. The results from these surveys will be used to determine what types of alternative housing would be best to use after future disasters.


SC1. Are you willing to participate in a survey for me now? The interview will take about 45 minutes to do.

YES, 1 ASK SC2

NO, 2


SC1a. Would you be willing to participate in an interview at another time, maybe later today or tomorrow?

YES, 1 ASK SC2

NO THANK RESPONDENT AND TERMINATE 2


Thank you for agreeing to participate in this interview. First, I would like to make sure that I am speaking to the right person.


SC2. My records show that your address at the time that you applied for an AHPP unit was READ ADDRESS BACK TO RESPONDENT:


[BASE STREET ADDRESS] [BASE CITY] [BASE STATE] [BASE ZIP]


2a. Is that correct?

YES, REPONDENT CONFIRMED
BASE ADDRESS IN OUR RECORDS 1 ASK SC4


NO, RESPONDENT INDICATES BASE

ADDRESS IS INCORRECT 2 ASK SC3


SC3. Where were you living at the time you applied for the AHPP unit in [BASELINE MONTH/YEAR]?

CITY: STATE: ZIP:


IF RESPONDENT DATA DO NOT VERIFY:

Since your address at [BASELINE] does not match what I have in my records, I’m going to verify the information in our records with my supervisor. I may [come back/call you back] at a later date to conduct the interview. Thank you for your time.


IF RESPONDENT DATA VERIFY:

You were selected for the interview because you received an AHPP unit. Your answers are important. We will ask you a series of questions about your neighborhood, housing, health, family, friendships, employment, and household composition. Your answers will not be traced back to you and your name will never be used in any report about this survey. Participating in this survey cannot affect any housing assistance you may be receiving.


Now I’d like to go over this form that says you agree to take part in the survey, and record your consent.
