Abstract: In February 2009, 23 grantees were selected by HUD to receive grant funding for three years to implement a rapid re-housing program for homeless families. The evaluation will include an outcomes study of a cohort of families who are served through the demonstration program. It is anticipated that the cohort of families to be engaged in the outcomes study will be enrolled over the course of one full year (yielding a study cohort of approximately 1,200 families). The Department is seeking to identify the cohort of participating families who are currently being served by the demonstration program, and therefore is seeking emergency clearance for the collection of participant contact data. A separate information collection request will be submitted at a later date seeking comment on the 12-month follow up survey to be administered to evaluation participants.

Short Statement: 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 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.” The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) states that “the Rapid Re-housing Demonstration program will include an evaluation phase, which will focus on determining the efficacy of the assessment process and the housing/service intervention related to how successfully households are able to independently sustain housing after receiving short-term leasing assistance.”
