SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Evaluation of the Emergency Housing
Voucher Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of this proposed information
collection is to gather information in
support of the Evaluation of the
Emergency Housing Voucher Program.
The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV)
Program is one of eight housing
provisions that was included in the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(ARP). Section 3202 of ARP provided $5
billion to HUD to fund a temporary
voucher program that, in part,
supported roughly 70,000 incremental
emergency vouchers to be allocated to
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) via
formula.
The Evaluation of the EHV program
will document the implementation and
early outcomes of the EHV Program
through a mixed mode data collection
approach to provide a broad overview of
the program nationally.
Data collection activities planned to
be carried out as part of the evaluation
include: (1) collecting HUD
administrative data, (2) a national web
survey of 611 PHAs administering the
EHV program and 371 referring partner
Continuums of Care (CoCs), and (3)
telephone/virtual interviews with staff
from a selected sample of communities,
including PHAs, CoCs, and other PHA
partner organizations. The evaluation
will use a mixed-methods approach
with administrative data and web
survey data to measure outcomes in key
interest areas. The follow-up telephone
interviews will collect information on
the experiences of program staff in
implementing the EHV program.

In total, HUD plans to conduct a web
survey of 611 PHAs, a web survey of
371 CoCs, and 50 telephone/virtual
interviews (comprised of interviews
with 25 PHAs and 25 CoCs/partner
organizations).
HUD will provide reasonable
accommodations. Respondents who are
blind or have vision-related disabilities,
deaf or hard of hearing, as well as
individuals with speech or
communication disabilities can elect to
participate through a web-based version
of the data collection or through a
telephone-based version of the data
collection. HUD welcomes and is
prepared to receive calls from
individuals who are deaf or hard of
hearing, as well as individuals with
speech or communication disabilities.

accessible telephone call, please visit

telecommunications-relay-service-trs.
We will use translation and/or
interpretation services as needed for
individuals with Limited English
Proficiency.

organization staff.
