SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Phase 

1 Evaluation of the Housing Choice 

Voucher (HCV) Mobility Demonstration. 

OMB Approval Number: Pending. 

Type of Request: New. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Office of Policy Development and 

Research (PD&R), at the U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD), is proposing the 

collection of information for Phase 1 

Evaluation of the Housing Choice 

Voucher (HCV) Mobility Demonstration. 

Under contract with HUD PD&R, Abt 

Associates Inc. and its subcontractors 

the Urban Institute, MEF Associates, 

Social Policy Research Associates, and 

Sage Consulting are conducting Phase 1 

of a planned two-phase Evaluation of 

the HCV Mobility Demonstration. The 

Demonstration is a multi-site, 

randomized-controlled trial of the effect 

of housing mobility-related services on 

the share of HCV holders with children 

that move to lower poverty areas. 

This Demonstration will allow 

participating public housing agencies 

(PHAs) throughout the country to 

implement housing mobility programs 

by offering mobility-related services to 

increase the number of voucher families 

with children living in opportunity 

areas. Participating PHAs will work 

together in their regions to adopt 

administrative policies that further 

enable housing mobility, increase 

landlord participation, and reduce 

barriers for families to move across PHA 

jurisdictions through portability. 

Eligible families that consent to 

participate in the Demonstration are 

randomly assigned to either receive 

mobility-related services or to not 

receive services. 

Through the Demonstration, HUD will 

implement, test, and evaluate whether 

housing mobility programs expand 

access to opportunity neighborhoods. 

The Demonstration will roll out in two 

phases over a period of approximately 

six years. The Phase 1 Evaluation has a 

five-year period of performance and will 

evaluate the effectiveness of a 

comprehensive set of mobility-related 

services at no more than 10 sites. For 

voucher holders, outcomes of the 

mobility-related services are 

hypothesized to be increases in the 

number of families who move to lower 

poverty areas. The Phase 1 evaluation 

will also document the implementation 

of the Demonstration and analyze the 

cost-effectiveness of mobility-related 

services. 

Data collection efforts include the 

families that are part of the treatment 

and control groups, as well as PHA and 

mobility-related services staff, and 

landlords of properties participating in 

the HCV program. Data will be gathered 

through a variety of methods including 

informational interviews and 

discussions, direct observation, and 

analysis of administrative records. 

Respondents: Public housing agency 

administrators/staff/contractors 

managing or implementing the mobilityrelated services, families enrolled in the 

HCV Mobility Demonstration, and 

owners of properties that accept 

Housing Choice Vouchers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

This data collection will affect no more 

than 12,400 respondents: 12,000 

families participating in the HCV 

Mobility Demonstration (study 

participants) will complete a baseline 

survey, 200 study participants will 

complete follow up interviews, 100 

public housing agency/housing mobility 

services provider staff will complete 

interviews, 20 public housing agency/ 

housing mobility services provider staff 

will participate in cost study data 

collection activities, and 80 landlords 

that accept Housing Choice Vouchers 

will complete interviews. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time per response is 1.5–3 

hours, depending on the data collection 

instrument and respondent. 

Frequency of Response: The 

frequency of response is 1 survey 

completion or 1 interview. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The total annual burden of this 

information collection is 24,760 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

total annual cost for this information 

collection is $201,821. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: The data collection is 

conducted under Title 12, United States 

Code, Section 1701z and Section 3507 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.
