Appendix B. Online Survey Instruments for Non-MTW PHAs
Respondent is the PHA Executive Director and one or more designated staff.
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this brief survey. HUD has hired Abt Associates to study Cohort 1 of the MTW Expansion. We are sending the survey to all PHAs that applied for MTW in Cohort 1 but were assigned to the Control group (not receiving MTW designation).
This survey has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The OMB control number is XXXX-XXXX, expiring XX-XX-XXXX. We expect the survey to take less than 30 minutes to complete.
The study team will use the information you provide for research purposes only. Only members of the study team will see your individual responses. Feel free to share the survey with other staff as needed to answer the questions. You may also skip questions that you cannot or do not wish to answer.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Abt Project Director, Larry Buron, at [email protected] or (301) 634-1735.
