Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects: Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) 
Program.
    Title: Program Progress Report (PPR).
    OMB No:
    Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) in 
collaboration with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) will 
award approximately 12 cooperative agreements to implement the Domestic 
Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The DVHT Program is 
focused on providing comprehensive case management services to domestic 
victims of severe forms of trafficking to ensure the provision of 
services with an emphasis on long-term housing, substance abuse 
treatment, and the integration of survivor-led services.
    The intent of this program is to build, expand, and sustain 
organizational and community capacity to deliver trauma-informed, 
strength-based, and victim-centered services for domestic victims of 
human trafficking through coordinated case management, a system of 
agency services, and community partnerships. The DVHT Program 
encourages innovative practices and collaboration efforts among 
community stakeholders to ensure long-term outcomes for domestic 
victims of severe forms of trafficking.
    The Program Progress Report (PPR) aims to measure the progress of 
the DVHT programs. Grantees are not required to conduct surveys. They 
will be collecting non-identical information on specific elements as 
part of their program requirements. The PPR data is intended to be used 
only to learn about: a) program implementation, b) effectiveness of 
programs, and c) to ensure programs are meeting goals/objectives as 
required by funding opportunity announcement. The PPR will be submitted 
by grantees every 6 months.
    Respondents: 12 grantees.
