Title of Proposal: Crime Survey in

Chicago Public Housing and the

Surrounding Neighborhood.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: Crime is

a serious problem in much of Chicago’s

high-rise public housing and the

surrounding areas. The Department of

Housing and Urban Development has

contracted with Abt Associates Inc. to

conduct an analysis of the crime-related

impact of an ongoing revitalization and

redesign effort in the Chicago Housing

Authority’s (CHA) Henry Horner Homes

and the neighborhood surrounding

Horner Homes. Crime prevention is

among the principle objectives of the

revitalization and redesign effort.

This revitalization presents the

opportunity for researchers to gauge the

effects of the architectural redesign on

crime and perceptions of crime in

public housing and the surrounding

neighborhood. The proposed survey

will collect information on residents’

perceptions of the quality of life in their

neighborhood, perceptions of crime and

disorder in their neighborhood and

actual experience with criminal

victimization. In addition to

contributing to the assessment of the

impact of the revitalization effort, this

project will provide an opportunity to

replicate and refine HUD’s Policy

Development and Research (PD&R)

Office’s approach to victimization

survey methodology in Federallyassisted housing. Furthermore, the value

of the proposed survey is enhanced by

the fact that since 1994, Abt Associates

Inc. has conducted a series of HUDsponsored resident satisfaction surveys

in Horner Homes. These surveys will

provide valuable baseline data for

comparison with the results of the

proposed survey.

Members of affected public: The

survey will involve a random sample of

approximately 250 households in the

Horner Homes and of 250 households in

the community that immediately

surrounds Horner Homes. One

individual, aged 18 years or older, will

be interviewed in each household.

Estimate Burden: The survey will

involve 500 respondents, half of whom

will be public housing residents and

half of whom will be residents of the

surrounding neighborhood. Information

will be collected by a one-time personal

interview that will take an average of

approximately 20 minutes to complete.

A total of 167 hours of respondents’

time (20 minutes times 500 respondents

divided by 60 minutes) will be

consumed by the survey process.

Status of the proposed information

collection: New.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,

as amended.
