The Office of Community Services (OCS) Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration (AHSSD) data collection was approved on March 1, 2024. While preparing to start data collection, OCS has learned that grant recipients may administer the two individual-level data collection instruments (Service Receipt Questionnaire and Self-Sufficiency Matrix) in separate sessions or together in one session. With this process, the existing consent language may be cumbersome, especially if both instruments are administered together in one session. As such, we would like to simplify the consent language for the Service Receipt Questionnaire to shorten the consent language and streamline administration of the individual-level information collections. Additionally, OCS would like to correct minor typographical errors.
The Administration for Children and Families is requesting emergency review and approval of this information collection by OMB, as authorized under 44 U.S.C. 3507 (subsection j). The proposed approval process is necessary because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause a Congressionally ordered deadline to be missed. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency and will inform a report to Congress within one year after grants were awarded (awarded September 2023), as required through HR 117-403, Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, 2023.
