Abstract: Congress has provided the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with funding to provide technical assistance (TA) and training to HUD customers, including Public Housing Authorities and Continuums of Care. The surveys in this collection of information are necessary to systematically gather user feedback and outcomes data to evaluate and improve HUD’s deployment and management of its technical assistance resources. This information has been requested by both the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congressional Appropriations Committee staff. Technical assistance and training outcomes measurement and evaluation are authorized under Sec. 501 of Title V of the HUD Act of 1970. The surveys are voluntary on the part of respondents.

Short Statement: Compared to the previously-approved information collection, the “Burden Hours Per Response” increased slightly for the In-Person and Online Training surveys due to additional questions added to those surveys. However, the total “Annual Burden Hours” and total “Annual Cost” decreased compared to the previously-approved information collection because two surveys [Community Development Marketplace (CDM) Project Intake Survey and the Survey of Community Partners Receiving HUD Staff-Led Technical Assistance] were removed from the information collection.
