-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women 
(OVW) will be submitting the following information collection request 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed 
information collection was previously published in the Federal Register 
at 81 FR 78635 on November 8, 2016, 2016, allowing for a 60 day comment 
period.

DATES:  Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 30 days until 
March 1, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 
    Written comments and/or suggestion regarding the items contained in 
this notice, especially the estimated public burden and associated 
response time, should be directed to Cathy Poston, Office on Violence 
Against Women, at 202-514-5430 or [email protected]. Written 
comments and/or suggestions can also be sent to the Office of 
Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attention Department of Justice Desk Officer, Washington, DC 20530 or 
sent to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following 
four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Domestic Violence and Housing 
Technical Assistance Consortium Safe Housing Needs Assessment.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-
XXXX. U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes housing/
homelessness providers and domestic violence/sexual assault service 
providers. Domestic violence is a major cause of homelessness, 
particularly for families with children. Among those families currently 
experiencing homelessness, more than 80 percent had previously 
experienced domestic violence. According to the U.S. Conference of 
Mayors, in 2008, 28% of families were homeless because of domestic 
violence and domestic violence is often cited as the primary cause of 
homelessness. There is a significant need for housing programs that 
offer supportive services and resources to victims of domestic violence 
and their children in ways that are trauma-informed and culturally 
relevant. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Family 
and Youth Services Bureau, Division of Family Violence Prevention and 
Services (DFVPS), the US Department of Justice Office of Justice 
Programs Office for Victims of Crime (OJP/OVC), Office on Violence 
Against Women (OVW), and the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) have established a federal technical assistance 
consortium that will provide national domestic violence and housing 
training, technical assistance, and resource development. The Domestic 
Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium will implement a 
federally coordinated approach to providing resources, program 
guidance, training, and technical assistance to domestic violence, 
homeless, and housing service providers.
    The Safe Housing Needs Assessment will be used to determine the 
training and technical assistance needs of organizations providing safe 
housing for domestic violence victims and their families. The Safe 
Housing Needs Assessment will gather input from community service 
providers, coalitions and continuums of care. This assessment is the 
first of its kind aimed at simultaneously reaching the domestic and 
sexual violence field, as well as the homeless and housing field. The 
assessment seeks to gather information on topics ranging from the 
extent to which both fields coordinate to provide safety and access to 
services for domestic and sexual violence survivors within the homeless 
system, to ways in which programs are implementing innovative models to 
promote long-term housing stability for survivors and their families. 
Additionally, this assessment seeks to identify specific barriers 
preventing collaboration across these fields, as well as promising 
practices. The results will help the Consortium provide organizations 
and communities with the tools, strategies and support necessary to 
improve coordination between domestic violence/sexual assault service 
providers and homeless and housing service providers, so that survivors 
and their children can ultimately avoid homelessness and live free from 
abuse.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is 
estimated that it will take the approximately 78,660 respondents 
approximately fifteen minutes to complete an online assessment tool.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data 
collection forms is 19,665 hours, that is 78,660 organizations 
completing an assessment tool one time with an estimated completion 
time being fifteen minutes.
