This is a revision of a currently approved collection, Survey to Assess Operational Status and Capacity of Housing Counseling Agencies Due to a Disaster/National Emergency, has been replaced with two new surveys, DISASTER RESPONSE SURVEY and DISASTER RECOVERY SURVEY. The collectionâs title has also been changed to reflect the two new surveys.The previous survey (Survey to Assess Operational Status and Capacity of Housing Counseling Agencies Due to a Disaster/National Emergency) was intended to determine the impact of the COVID pandemic on housing counseling agencies. Therefore, all HUD approved housing counseling agencies (1614) were contacted once. It did not request disaster data. That survey did not meet OHCâs current need to determine the impact of a disaster on the operations of impacted housing counseling agencies. Based on OHC experience about disasters, there are two distinct phases of a disaster which impact housing counseling agencies differently. That is why this revised collection has two surveys - Disaster Response Survey and Disaster Recovery Survey, each requesting different data. The change in focus of the two surveys resulted in different responses, burden hours and cost. For any one disaster, an impacted housing counseling agency will receive both surveys. OHC estimates there will be an average of 10 impacted housing counseling agencies per disaster with 125 disasters annually. The Disaster Response Survey will be sent only once to the 1250 impacted housing counseling agency immediately following a disaster. The Disaster Recovery Survey is a follow-up survey and will be sent up to three times to the 1250 impacted housing counseling agencies.
