Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Rent Reform Demonstration: 36- Month Follow-Up Survey and Comprehensive Impact Analysis. OMB Approval Number: 2528-0306. Type of Request: Revision. Form Number: N/A. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is conducting the Rent Reform Demonstration under contract with MDRC and its subcontractors (The Bronner Group, Quadel Consulting Corporation, and the Urban Institute). The 36-month follow-up survey will be conducted by a survey contractor. The project is a random assignment trial of an alternative rent system. In 2015 and 2016, 6,660 families were randomly assigned to either participate in the new/alternative rent system or to continue in the current system. For voucher holders, outcomes of the alternative system are hypothesized to be increases in earnings, employment and job retention, among others. Random assignment limits the extent to which selection bias drives observed results. The demonstration will document the progress of a group of housing voucher holders, who were drawn from current residents at the four Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration public housing agencies (PHAs) that are participating in the Rent Reform Demonstration: (1) Lexington Housing Authority (LHA), Lexington, Kentucky; (2) Louisville Metro Housing Authority (LMHA), Louisville, Kentucky; [[Page 46515]] (3) San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA), San Antonio, Texas; and (4) District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), Washington, DC The impact evaluation's intent is to gain an understanding of the impact of the alternative rent system on the families as well as the administrative burden on Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). Data collection will include the families that are part of the treatment and control groups, as well as PHA staff. Data for this evaluation will be gathered through a variety of methods including informational interviews, direct observation, surveys, and analysis of administrative records. The work covered under this information request is for the 36- month follow-up survey that will document and contextualize administrative data findings related to employment, earnings, and hardship and study participants' experience with the demonstration. Estimated total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, hours of response, and cost of response time: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Frequency of Responses per Burden hour Annual burden Hourly cost Information collection respondents response annum per response hours per response Annual cost -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consent Form............................ 6,659.00 1.00 6,659.00 0.05 333.00 $8.96 $2,983.68 Long-term Follow-up Survey.............. 6,659.00 1.00 6,659.00 0.50 3,330.00 8.96 29,836.80 Housing Authority Database Extraction 4.00 1.00 4.00 1.00 4.00 36.33 145.32 Activities............................. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total............................... 13,322.00 .............. .............. .............. 3,667.00 .............. 32,965.80 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.
