A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Choice
Mobility and Long-Term Affordability
Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: NA
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
The Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R), at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), is proposing the
collection of information for the Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Choice
Mobility and Long-Term Affordability
Evaluation.
RAD was established under the
Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act of 2012 to preserve
affordable housing units over the long
term by enabling public housing
authorities (PHAs) to apply to HUD to
convert at-risk public housing
properties to two different forms of
project-based Section 8 Housing
Assistance Payments contracts—projectbased voucher (PBV) or project-based
rental assistance (PBRA). Doing so gives
PHAs more flexibility to access private
and public funding sources to meet with
short-term capital needs, reduce their
reliance on limited appropriations, and
stabilize their financial and physical
condition. Choice mobility, an

additional feature of RAD, allows
residents of RAD properties to request a
Housing Choice Voucher that they can
use to move to a housing unit in the
private market.
Congress requested an evaluation of
RAD to assess the impact of the
demonstration on the preservation and
improvement of public housing, the
amount of private sector leveraging, and
the effect on tenants. HUD contracted a
two-phase evaluation to address these
research areas. The Phase I results were
published in 2016 and the Phase II
results in 2019. The OMB Approval
Number for that evaluation was 2528–
0304 and expired on January 31st, 2020.
The Fiscal Year 2018 Appropriations
Act provided funds to conduct a followInformation collection

study is the impact of RAD on the longterm preservation and financial viability
of converted affordable housing
properties. The third is the adequacy of
asset management for PBV and PBRA
conversions. The fourth study will
examine the organizational and
operational changes at PHAs that
participated in RAD. For the first three
studies, the evaluation includes webbased survey of all RAD PHAs, RAD
property owners/operators, and former
RAD residents who have exercised the
choice mobility option; and a sample
survey of RAD residents who have not
elected the choice mobility option. For
the fourth study, we plan to conduct
qualitative interviews with senior staff
at 25 RAD PHAs.
