Abstract: The Rent Reform Demonstration will examine the impact of an alternative rent model on employment rates, earnings, and hardship for a random sample of 7,400 households at 4 Moving-to-Work PHAs over a three-year period. Outcomes of the alternative rent model are hypothesized to be increases in earnings, employment, and job retention, among others, using PHA administrative data and nationally-available data on employment and earnings, and a small number of participant interviews. This demonstration will also examine the effect of the alternative rent model on PHA processes and administrative costs. This request updates the baseline data collection ICR to include 1) interviews with PHA staff to understand early implementation of the alternative rent model, 2) interviews with study participants to understand their experience with the alternative rent model, 3) administrative records that will be collected to assess the impacts of the intervention being tested, and 4) cost study data collection for the research activities under Rent Reform Demonstration, Task Order 2 (TO2)
