A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the HUD-DOJ Pay for 
Success Permanent Supportive Housing Demonstration.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
    Type of Request: New.
    Form Number: No forms.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Justice 
(DOJ) entered into an interagency collaboration that combines DOJ's 
mission to promote safer communities by focusing on the reentry 
population with HUD's mission to end chronic homelessness. This 
collaboration resulted in the Pay for Success Permanent Supportive 
Housing Demonstration with $8.68M awarded to seven communities to 
develop supportive housing for persons cycling between the jail or 
prison systems and the homeless service systems using pay for success 
(PFS) as a funding mechanism. HUD-DOJ announced seven grantees from 
across the country in June 2016. The PFS Demonstration grant supports 
activities throughout the PFS lifecycle, including feasibility 
analysis, transaction structuring, and outcome evaluation and success 
payments, with each grantee receiving funds for different stages in the 
PFS lifecycle. Through the national evaluation, which is funded through 
an interagency agreement between HUD and DOJ and managed by HUD's 
Office of Policy Development and Research, HUD-DOJ seek to assess 
whether PFS is a viable model for scaling supportive housing to improve 
outcomes for a re-entry population. The main goal of the evaluation is 
to learn how the PFS model is implemented in diverse settings with 
different structures, populations, and community contexts. The Urban 
Institute has designed a multi-disciplinary, multi-method approach to 
``learn as we do'' and meet the key objectives of the formative 
evaluation. To understand project implementation, the evaluation 
includes data collection on both the time that project partners 
dedicate to each PFS project as well as PFS partner perceptions and 
interactions and community-level changes that may benefit the target 
population. This information collection request is for an ongoing time 
survey and an annual partnership web survey. The time survey will be 
used to assess staff time spent on development of each PFS project 
throughout the different lifecycle phases and the partnership survey 
will be used to document partner perceptions and interactions and 
community-level changes that may benefit the target population.
    Respondents: For the annual web-based partnership survey and weekly 
time text survey, 100 respondents from the grantee and key project 
partner at 7 demonstration sites. For the monthly web-based time 
survey, 35 supervisory staff.
