Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage
(HECM) program is the Federal Housing
Administration’s (FHA) reverse
mortgage program that enables seniors
who have equity in their homes to
withdraw a portion of the accumulated
equity. The intent of the HECM Program
is to ease the financial burden on
elderly homeowners facing increased
health, housing, and subsistence costs at
a time of reduced income. The currently
approved information collection is
necessary to screen mortgage insurance
applications to protect the FHA
insurance fund and the interests of
consumers and potential borrowers.
Specific forms and related documents
are needed to determine the eligibility
of the borrower and proposed mortgage
transaction for FHA’s insurance
endorsement. Form HUD–92902,
Certificate of HECM Counseling has
been revised to: (1) Include a property
address line for purchase transactions,
(2) remove the reference to ‘HECM
Saver’ as current feature of the program,
and (3) include a certification warning
concerning the actions that may be
taken against anyone who knowingly
submits a false, fictitious, or fraudulent
claim and the penalties of those actions.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Business or other for profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,603.
Estimated Number of Responses:
80,000.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Understanding Rapid Re-Housing
Study.
OMB Approval Number: 2528—New.
Type of Request: New.
Form Number: No Forms.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Rapid
Re-Housing (RRH) is an increasingly
popular approach for using the
homeless assistance system to reduce
and end homelessness in communities
across the United States. Several studies
have examined RRH program outcomes.
HUD’s Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless
Families Demonstration Program report
and the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs’ research brief Impact and
Performance of the Supportive Services
for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program:
Results from the FY 2013 Program Year
measured RRH outcomes, and RRH was
one of the active interventions tested in
the Family Options Study (FOS).
Several local studies have also assessed
RRH. Collectively, the research
conducted to date has produced varied
evidence of the outcomes for
participants receiving this type of
assistance.
The Understanding Rapid Re-Housing
Study provides an opportunity to (1)
synthesize existing research on RRH
programs, (2) extend the analysis of data
from the Family Options Study (2016),
(3) provide a detailed examination of all
rapid re-housing programs nationwide,
and (4) conduct qualitative research
with a small sample of families and
individuals who receive RRH. The first
two objectives will utilize existing
literature and data that have already
been collected. To examine the nation’s
RRH programs, we will rely on currently
existing Annual Program Reports (APRs)
from local Continuums of Care (CoCs)
and administer a web-based survey to
RRH programs. To accomplish the
fourth objective, we will conduct indepth interviews and ethnographic
research with households. This notice
announces HUD’s intent to collect
information through the following

methods: Study investigators (from Abt
Associates) will administer a programlevel web-based survey, which will
include two separate sets of questions—
a short set of system-level questions for
CoC program staff, and an in-depth set
of questions for RRH program staff. The
survey will be administered to all CoCs
and RRH programs nationwide. To
describe the program models in place,
the use of progressive engagement, and
strategies for RRH in tight rental
markets, the study investigators will
conduct in-depth telephone follow-up
interviews with approximately 20 RRH
programs. In addition, investigators will
conduct one-time in-person in-depth
interviews with a sample of six
households in shelter who have been
offered RRH but have not yet started to
receive it, 16 households who are

receiving RRH assistance, and six
households that have already
transitioned from RRH to permanent
housing. Finally, to understand their
experiences both during RRH and once
RRH assistance ends, and investigators
will conduct ethnographic research with
16 households. This will include inperson interviews, household
observations, quarterly check-ins, and
the completion of housing journals.
Respondents: Information collection
for the program-level web survey will
involve program staff from all CoCs
(approximately 400) and all RRH
programs nationwide (approximately
2,400 programs). Approximately 20 RRH
programs will be involved in the indepth follow-up interviews. Information
collection for the qualitative research

will affect approximately 28

From the completed 28 interviews,
study investigators will invite all 16
households receiving RRH to continue
in the applied ethnographic component
of the study (and we assume that 15 will
complete the ethnographic research
activities). Their one-time in-depth
interviews will provide a baseline
against which investigators will analyze
data to be collected over the subsequent
15 months. Those data will include
participant observation, housing
journals, quarterly family updates, and
two follow-up interviews.
Respondents (i.e., affected public):

Applicants, rapid re-housing program
directors, and participants of rapid rehousing programs.
