Common Form ICR:  Yes

Description/Changes for Common Form Usage:  C. Purpose of Survey: Today's digital economy requires access to computers, the Internet and related training in order to fully participate and benefit from the opportunities and information available online. HUD is interested in understanding how its investments in NN centers have fared and the extent to which residents today have access to digital tools and training. To this end, this survey will ask about: 1. The current status of NN centers located in both Public Housing PH and Multifamily MF properties around the country; 2. Whether PHAs and MF owners may have established computer centers outside the auspices of the NN program; and 3. Where NN or other computer labs exist in public housing or MF communities; the extent to which these centers are improving residents’ digital literacy and access to online resources and training. This survey is voluntary and is being sent to all PHAs and Multifamily owners. D. Additional Information: This assessment will help the Department understand the extent to which HUD-assisted residents have on-site access to computers and the Internet. In an effort to minimize the burden on participants and increase response rate, this study is being conducted in one phase.
