Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Evaluation of the Cooperative Agreements To Benefit Homeless
Individuals (CABHI) Program (OMB No. 0930-0339)--REVISION

SAMHSA is conducting a cross-site evaluation of the FY2016 cohort
of the CABHI grant program. The CABHI Evaluation builds on a previous
evaluation of SAMHSA's 2009-2012 homeless services grant programs
(i.e., Grants for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals, Services in
Supportive Housing, and CABHI), under which the approved data
collection tools were developed and implemented. SAMHSA is requesting
approval from OMB to revise the burden inventory, which has been
calculated based on the number of FY2016 CABHI grantees, and to modify
the data collection mode of a project director interview.
In 2016, SAMHSA awarded 30 CABHI grants across three levels: States
(up to $1.5 million per year), Local Governments (up to $800,000 per
year), and Communities (up to $400,000 per year). The grantees are
united by the goal of enhancing and expanding infrastructure and
capacity for mental health and substance abuse treatment and related
support services for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness or
veterans, families, or youth experiencing homelessness as a result of
these conditions. This is accomplished through the provision of
permanent supportive housing, behavioral health treatment, and recovery
support services, and enrollment in health insurance, Medicaid, or
other mainstream benefit programs.
The primary task of the CABHI evaluation is to conduct a
comprehensive process and outcome evaluation, addressing questions
related to the implementation of the CABHI grant projects and the
extent to which they were able to meet the program's goals. Process
evaluation primarily represents what is done to and for the client
(e.g., services provided); this aspect of the evaluation will also
include a focus on structure, or the resources available in the service
delivery system, which represent the capacity to deliver quality care,
but not the care itself. The outcome evaluation will focus on outputs,
which are the most immediate or proximal results of project activities
(e.g., changes in partner collaboration, the number of clients enrolled
in mainstream benefits), and client outcomes, particularly those
related to behavioral health and homelessness and housing instability.
The data collection tools included in this request collect a wide range
of quantitative and qualitative data on characteristics of the grantee
organization and its partnerships; the system within which the project
is embedded; relationships with stakeholders; characteristics of the
target population; services received, including implementation of EBPs;
staffing patterns; costs of services; barriers and facilitators of
project implementation; and project sustainability efforts. Data
collection efforts that will support the evaluation are described
below.
The Project Director (PD) Phone Interview/Web Survey is designed to
systematically collect key grant project characteristics which will
directly inform the process evaluation component and will also provide
essential data by documenting the partnerships and services each
grantee includes in their project. The interview includes two
components, a semi-structured telephone interview and a Web survey,
which represents a change from the original approval. The interview was
developed to be conducted as a telephone interview; however, some
sections are better suited for self-administration through a Web-based
survey (e.g., reporting which services the project is providing to
clients) and the instrument has been modified accordingly. The PD Phone
Interview/Web Survey is composed of the following sections: Grantee
Agency and Project Characteristics, Target Population, Stakeholders/
Partners, Services, Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs), Housing, Project
Organization and Implementation, Sustainability, Local Evaluation,
Technical Assistance, and Lessons Learned. A total of 39 respondents
are expected to complete the PD Phone Interview/Web Survey; this
includes one respondent from all of the CABHI grantees (n=30) and the
State sub-recipients (n=9). This data collection will occur one time
during Year 1 and one time during Year 3 of the evaluation.
Site Visits will consist of in-person, semi-structured discussions
with grant project directors, State sub-recipient coordinators, project
evaluators, financial staff, behavioral health treatment staff, case
managers, housing providers, other support services staff, primary
partner staff and other key stakeholders, and project client
participants. The purpose of the Site Visits is to collect detailed
qualitative information and economic data on project activities
conducted by the grantees and their partners, which will directly
inform the process evaluation. The qualitative data will also provide
essential information for the outcome evaluation component by
documenting the interventions provided to clients and the
implementation, barriers, facilitators, challenges and successes for
each grant project visited. Each CABHI grant project (n=30) will be
visited once during Year 2 and once during Year 3 of the evaluation. No
changes have been made to the Site Visit instruments.
The EBP Self-Assessment is a Web-based survey designed to collect
information on the services implemented in CABHI grant projects that
have a demonstrable evidence base, providing a description of the EBP
interventions received by project clients. The EBP Self-Assessment tool
is divided into two parts. Part 1 collects information on general
implementation of the projects' primary EBPs (i.e., those received by
the most project clients). Thirty-six respondents (9 State sub-
recipients, 12 Local Governments, and 15 Communities) are expected to
complete Part 1 of the EBP Self-Assessment, which may be completed up
to 3 times based on the number of primary EBPs being implemented by the
project. Part 2 collects detailed implementation data on a selected
group of EBPs (i.e., Assertive Community Treatment, Integrated Dual
Disorders Treatment, Illness Management and Recovery, Supported
Employment, Critical Time Intervention, and Supplemental Security
Income [SSI]/Social Security Disability Insurance [SSDI] Outreach,
Access, and Recovery) and will be administered only to projects using
the

[[Page 8198]]

selected EBPs and only for the EBPs they are implementing. Thirty-six
respondents (9 State sub-recipients, 12 Local Governments, and 15
Communities) are expected to complete Part 2 of the EBP Self-
Assessment, which may be completed up to 3 times based on the number of
Part 2 EBPs being implemented by the project. Respondents for both Part
1 and 2 may include grant project directors, State sub-recipient
coordinators, or other staff knowledgeable about the project's EBPs.
The EBP Self-Assessment will be administered in Year 2 of the
evaluation. No changes have been made to the EBP Self-Assessment
instrument.
The Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Self-Assessment is a Web-
based survey completed by the CABHI grant projects to understand the
extent to which they are implementing key dimensions of PSH and capture
the variability of the PSH model among the projects. Information is
collected on the following dimensions: Choice of housing, separation of
housing and services; decent, safe, and affordable housing; housing
integration; tenancy rights; access to housing; flexible, voluntary
services; service philosophy; and team-based behavioral health. Thirty-
six respondents (9 State sub-recipients, 12 Local Governments, and 15
Communities) are expected to complete the PSH Self-Assessment one time,
and may include grant project directors, State sub-recipient
coordinators, or other staff knowledgeable about the project's PSH
model. The PSH Self-Assessment will be administered in Year 2 of the
evaluation. No changes have been made to the PSH Self-Assessment
instrument.
