Abstract: The Homeless Programs cross-program evaluation broadly aims to identify commonalities across the Homeless Programs service delivery by examining which service models are delivered, with what outcomes, for which populations, and with what resulting comparative effectiveness and cost effectiveness. To compare programs, the evaluation will identify service models based on service approach (e.g., direct vs. referral), services (type of service and adherence to practice), housing types and models, type of partnerships and factors leading to program sustainability. The resulting models will facilitate interpretation of client and program-level outcomes, comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness evaluation.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Currently, there are 2,835 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 3,286 hours. The program change of an increase of 451 hours is mostly due to an increase in the number of site visits to be conducted annually. In the previous evaluation, 25 site visits were conducted, whereas for the CABHI evaluation, 30 site visits will be conducted. Additionally, for some of the site visit interviews (e.g., the Case Management, Treatment, and Housing Provider Interview), the 9 State sub-recipients will be treated as their own site given that they closely mirror the function of a CABHI Local Government or Community grantee, further increasing the estimated number of respondents for those interviews. These increases in burden are offset by the reduction in the number of respondents for the PD Phone Interview/Web Survey, EBP Self-Assessment, and the PSH Self-Assessment.
