A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Implementation Phase Evaluation of 
LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention Initiative.
    OMB Approval Number: NA.
    Type of Request: New.
    Form Number: NA.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention Initiative began in the summer of 
2013 as part of a federal interagency initiative to prevent 
homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning 
(LGBTQ) youth, and to intervene early when homelessness occurs for 
these youths. Federal partners from the U.S. Departments of Education, 
Health, and Juvenile Justice, as well as the U.S. Interagency Council 
on Homelessness, support this HUD initiative. The initiative supports 
the federal goal to end youth homelessness and contributes to the 
development of a model for preventing LGBT youth homelessness that 
other communities can replicate. Two communities participate in this 
initiative and receive technical assistance (TA) to support their 
initiative planning and implementation.
    This request for OMB clearance covers the implementation phase 
which will document the approach and experiences of both communities as 
they have implemented their local plan. Furthermore, this review will 
examine the resources required to carry out implementation, what worked 
well, what challenges emerged and how they were addressed, lessons 
learned and recommendations both sites offer for potential replication. 
To produce this information, HUD will collect quantitative and 
qualitative data from primary sources using four methods: Interviews, 
surveys, focus groups, and document review. Participants will consist 
of the local initiative leads as well as individuals involved in local 
initiative steering committees and subcommittees and community members 
associated with the initiative.
    This is a re-submission of a PRA package that had previously been 
withdrawn by the Department to undertake additional review. The 
original 60-day Notice was published on September 20, 2016, and can be 
found at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/20/2016-22580/60-day-notice-of-proposed-information-collection-implementation-phase-review-of-the-lesbian-gay.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Organizations participating in 
the two local initiatives, including local lead organizations and 
participants on the local steering committees and subcommittees.
    Implementation Phase Interview: Local leads, steering committee 
members and subcommittee members, community members,
    Implementation Phase Focus Group: Local leads, steering committee 
members and subcommittee members, community members,
    Implementation Phase Survey: Local leads, steering committee 
members and subcommittee members, community members.
