Short Statement: Four surveys are included in this information collection revision: 2 Direct TA Surveys: 1. Survey for recipients of technical assistance provided by HUD TA Providers (third-party organizations) 2. Survey for HUD TA Providers who provide the technical assistance 2 Training Surveys: 3. Survey for participants at in-person trainings conducted by HUD TA Providers 4. Survey for participants of online trainings conducted/created by HUD TA Providers The surveys provide HUD with user feedback and outcomes data to evaluate and improve its TA and training program. As HUD receives more data over multiple years, HUD will use the information to comprehensively evaluate the Community Compass program, identify areas for improvement in the program, evaluate the effectiveness of HUD TA engagements, identify trends in TA needs, support the measurement of past performance for future TA NOFAs, and help HUD identify risk within its TA Provider pool. Survey results are also used by TA Providers and HUD staff to improve individual TA and training engagements. Since the original collection was approved in 2017, HUD has received data that it has used to evaluate and improve its TA program. The Department has also provides training and performance TA survey reports to TA Providers and Program Office staff, which allows them to address issues in a timely manner to improve the effectiveness of trainings.
