by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita received 

AHPP grants to test out alternative 

approaches to providing temporary 

housing after a disaster. HUD is charged 

with measuring what benefits and costs 

are associated with each of the 

alternatives being implemented by the 

states. Measuring the program impact on 

health, satisfaction, and general wellbeing of the occupants are a key part of 

the evaluation. This baseline survey is 

needed to know the characteristics of 

eligible households applying to 

participate in the program. This 

information is critical as an evaluation 

tool to: 

(1) Document the demographic 

characteristics of those that apply for 

the program; 

(2) Provide information about how the 

disaster affected their pre-storm housing 

and information on their expectations at 

securing permanent housing at some 

point; and 

(3) Capture limited baseline 

information for comparison at a later 

time on impact measures of interest 

(such as income, source of income, 

perceptions of housing and 

neighborhood quality, and physical and 

mental health). 

These data are also important as 

covariates in estimating program 

impacts after 2 years and 4 years of 

occupancy. HUD is working with states 

to make selection of those that actually 

receive a unit (from a pool of those 

eligible and applying) to be random. A 

random selection process will allow 

HUD to evaluate program impacts by 

comparing the outcomes of those offered 

a unit against outcomes for those not 

offered a unit. 

OMB Control Number: To be assigned. 

Agency Form Numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: 

Individuals still requiring temporary 

housing due to Hurricanes Katrina or 

Rita. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of responses, 

and hours of response: The estimated 

number of burden hours needed to 

prepare the information collection is 

4,167 hours; the number of respondents 

is estimated as 10,000, generating 

approximately 10,000 annual responses; 

the frequency of response is once at the 

time of application for the AHPP 

program; each response is estimated to 

take 25 minutes. 

Status: Proposed new collection.
