A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the HUD-DOJ Pay for Success Permanent
Supportive Housing Demonstration.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-0319.
Type of Request: Extension without change of currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
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 HUD-DOJ 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 announced seven grantees from across the country in June 2016.
As of August 2020, six grantee communities remain.

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 been conducting 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:

PFS grantee staff and other project stakeholders.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

The annual web-based partnership survey will have up to

65 respondents across all 4 remaining Demonstration sites.

The quarterly web-based time

survey will have up to 17 respondents across all sites.
Estimated Time per Response:
is .25 hour.

The response time for the annual web-based partnership survey

The response time for the quarterly web-based time survey is 1 hour.

Frequency of Response:

The annual web-based partnership survey will be administered once

annually. The web-based time survey will be administered four times annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:

The total annual burden for this information collection

is 84.25 hrs.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:

The total annual cost for this information collection is $2,461.79.

The typical key project partner role is either a management or support role. The estimate uses the
average of the most recent (May 2022) Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment
Statistics median hourly wages for the labor categories Social and Community Services Manager

(11-9151) and Community and Social Service Specialist, All Other (21-1099). To estimate cost
burden to project partner respondents, we averaged the median hourly wage for the two labor
categories; this produces an average of the occupations listed or $29.22.
