was selected to lead this evaluation. As
part of the longer-term follow-up, which
HUD authorized in 2018—and extends
through 2021, MDRC will conduct a
long-term follow-up survey with a
sample of individuals who enrolled in
the study and were randomly assigned
to a program group (offered the
opportunity to enroll in FSS and receive
services) or a control group. The survey
will allow us to understand the FSS
program’s long-term effects on
indicators of economic self-sufficiency
(employment and income, for example)
and well-being (health, financial,
material, housing, for example). The
survey will also provide an opportunity
to understand the program participation
experiences of FSS participants in the
study who continue to be enrolled in
FSS and those who exited for a variety
of reasons, including graduation from
FSS. No other comprehensive data
source exists to provide the type of
information that will be collected by
this follow-up survey.
Respondents: Participants enrolled in
the HUD Family Self-Sufficiency
Evaluation.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The survey will be fielded to 1,300
sample members, one half coming from
the program group and the other half
from the control group. We expect
between 60 to 70 percent of the
respondents will complete the survey.
Estimated Time per Response: 15minute survey interview.
Frequency of Response: 1 interview.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 325 hours.1
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,276.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The survey is
conducted under Title 12, United States
Code, Section 1701z and Section 3507
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.

This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of

information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the

proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

1 The estimated total annual burden hours
estimate if all 1,300 study participants respond to
the survey is 325. However, we expect that between
60 to 70 percent of the respondents will complete
the survey. In that case, the actual total annual
burden hours would be between 195 to 228 hours.
2 To compute the hourly cost per response, MDRC
used the average state minimum wage of the 18
study sites, as of July 1, 2020. In cases where the

site’s county had a higher minimum wage than the
site’s state, the county minimum wage was used for
the calculations. Across the 18 sites in 7 states
(California, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New
Jersey, Ohio, and Texas), the minimum wages
ranged from $7.25 to $15 per hour.
3 To compute the total estimated annual cost, the
total estimated annual burden hours were
multiplied by the hourly cost per response. The

calculation assumes 325 total annual burden hours
if all 1,300 study participants respond to the survey.
However, we expect that between 60 to 70 percent
of the respondents will complete the survey. In that
case, the actual total annual burden hours may be
between 195 and 228 hours, and the actual total
annual cost would be between $1,965.60 and
$2,298.24.

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Data
Collection and Reporting for HUD’s
Continuum of Care Program—Annual
Performance Report and System
Performance Report.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: New.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
request is for clearance of data
collection and reporting to enable the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Office of
Community Planning and Development
(CPD) to continue to manage and assess
the effectiveness of its homeless
assistance projects on an annual basis.
Per 24 CFR 578.103(e), HUD requires
recipients and subrecipients that receive
funding through the CoC Program
(authorized by the McKinney-Vento

Homeless Assistance Act, as amended
by the Homeless Emergency Assistance
and Rapid Transition to Housing
(HEARTH) Act) to prepare and submit
annual project-level reports on
performance and spending.
This request will also enable the HUD
CPD Office to initiate a process to assess
the effectiveness of local coordinated
systems of homeless assistance. The
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance
Act, as amended, now requires
communities to measure their
performance as a coordinated system, in
addition to analyzing performance by
specific projects or project types.
Section 427 of the Act established a set
of selection criteria for HUD to use in
awarding CoC Program funding. These
selection criteria require CoCs to report
to HUD their system-level performance.
The intent of these selection criteria are
to encourage CoCs, in coordination with
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Program recipients and all other
homeless assistance stakeholders in the
community, to regularly measure their
progress in meeting the needs of people
experiencing homelessness in their
community and to report this progress
to HUD. This request is for HUD to
collect system-level performance
measure data from CoCs on an annual
basis, as described in Appendix B of
this document.
The project APR and system-level
performance measures both rely on a
primary data source in each CoC—a
local Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS). An HMIS is
an electronic data collection system that
stores person-level information about
homeless persons who access a
community’s homeless service system.
Over the past decade, HUD has
supported the development of local
HMIS by funding their development and
implementation, by providing technical
assistance, and by developing national
data standards that enable the collection
of standardized information on the
characteristics, service patterns and
service needs of homeless persons
within a jurisdiction and across
jurisdictions. These standards are
described in HUD’s HMIS Data
Standards.
