Abstract: This nonsubstantive change is limited to the data collection activities that were planned for the random assignment study involving surveys of youth enrolled in the TLP grantee sites. The proposed nonsubstantive change is necessary to obtain outcomes on youth when it was determined through a pilot study designed to examine the feasibility of the random assignment study with this particular program and population, would not be feasible to reach the target sample size of 1250 youth within the time frame for study completion. The purpose of the TLP Evaluation is to provide ACF with information about how youth who participate in the TLP fare over the short and longer term in the areas of stable housing, positive social connections, social and emotional well-being, and education or employment. The evaluation will also provide information on services available to youth during and after exiting the program, including assistance in locating and retaining permanent housing and referrals to other residential programs, and services for employment, education, health, and mental health. The collection involves three components: 1. A pilot study to test the feasibility of using a random assignment study design with the TLP and runaway and homeless youth; 2. Interviews with TLP staff as part of a qualitative study to gain insight into program implementation; and 3. Youth surveys as part of a quantitative study to understand program effects on youth outcomes. The first two data collection activities began in October 2016 and are complete.
