A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Evaluation of the Moving to Work 

(MTW) Expansion Asset Building 

Cohort. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–New. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

purpose of this proposed information 

collection is to evaluate the Moving to 

Work Expansion Asset Building Cohort 

(hereinafter ‘‘Asset Building Cohort’’). 

This 60-day Notice informs the public of 

intent to collect data about the asset 

building programs implemented by the 

PHAs in the Asset Building Cohort and 

about the HUD-assisted residents 

selected to participate in the asset 

building programs. HUD selected 18 

Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to 

participate in the Asset Building Cohort, 

and 17 of these PHAs joined the MTW 

demonstration. Each PHA will 

implement an opt-out savings program, 

a rent reporting for credit building 

program, or a custom asset building 

program. The savings account and rent 

reporting programs are described in PIH 

Notice 2022–11. For the savings account 

program, PHAs will contribute at least 

$10 per month for 24 months to at least 

25 residents to support buildup of 

emergency savings. For the rent 

reporting program, PHAs will report ontime rent payments made by 

participating public housing residents to 

credit agencies so that the residents’ 

credit reports will gain a tradeline 

(rental tradeline). The added rental 

tradeline may increase residents’ credit 

visibility and credit scores. HUD’s 

Office of Policy Development and 

Research (PD&R) will evaluate the 

impacts of these asset building 

programs. The evaluation requires data 

from several sources, including the new 

information collection described in this 

Notice. 

The first phase of the evaluation of 

the Asset Building Cohort is guided by 

a few overarching questions: (1) What 

programs are PHAs implementing? 

What are the characteristics of the group 

of residents participating in the 

programs? (2) How do participants 

understand the programs? And what do 

the programs mean for them personally? 

The programs will run for two years. 

The first phase of the evaluation will 

collect data from the following samples: 

(1) PHA staff (n = 51), staff of partner 

organizations (n = 12), and PHA 

residents (n= 10) 

(2) Residents that volunteered for the 

rent reporting for credit building pilot 

program, including households that 

were randomly assigned to have their 

rent payments reported to credit 

agencies and households that were 

assigned to a control group (who don’t 

have their rent payments reported to 

credit agencies) (n = 300) 

(3) Residents that volunteered for the 

rent reporting for credit building pilot 

program and agree to participate in indepth qualitative interviews at up to 

four time points during the two years 

that the PHA is required to offer the 

program (n = 40) 

The evaluator will conduct interviews 

of about 1 hour with staff from 

participating PHAs, organizational 

partners (e.g., a bank that partners with 

a PHA to set up savings accounts for 

unbanked residents), and PHA residents 

to better understand facilitators and 

challenges to starting and running the 

asset building programs. The evaluator 

will interview up to 3 staff per PHA at 

all 17 PHAs, up to 3 partners at 4 PHAs 

selected for in-depth case studies, and 

up to 5 residents at 2 of the case study 

PHAs. 

Residents participating in the rent 

reporting programs must complete an 

Informed Consent Form (ICF) and 

Baseline Information Form (BIF). The 

BIF will provide important information 

not otherwise available from HUD’s 

administrative data, such as whether the 

household has significant barriers to 

employment. The BIF will take on 

average 15 minutes to complete. After 

enrollment in the program, 40 

participants, including 20 members of 

the treatment group and 20 members of 

the control group, will be asked to 

participate in qualitative interviews of 

about 90 minutes each at two different 

time points during the first year of the 

rent reporting programs. The qualitative 

interviews will focus on experiences 

with the rent reporting program, 

household budgeting, and the broader 

context of interactions with banking, 

credit, and financial institutions. The 

Federal Register Notice provides an 

opportunity to comment on the data 

collection instruments and associated 

materials to be administered to the 

respondents at PHAs (including staff 

and residents) in the Asset Building 

Cohort and at partner organizations. 

Respondents: Adults who work at, 

provide services at, or are assisted by

Total burden annualized over 3-year period. 

The average hourly rate for HUD-assisted households is calculated as follows: (1) For the Program Implementation resident interview guide 

we averaged the minimum wages of all states with a PHA implementing a Savings Account option, which includes California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, and South Carolina, and calculate the average hourly minimum wage as $10.31. (2) For the interviews that 

apply only to PHAs in the rent reporting study, we averaged the minimum wages of all states with a PHA in the rent reporting study, which includes Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, and New Hampshire, and and calculate the average hourly minimum wage as $11.05. 

The average hourly rate for PHA staff ($57.60) is based on the average employer costs for State and Local Government employees. (Source: 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2022 Employer Costs for Employee Compensation) The average hourly rate for partner organization staff 

($42.48) is based on the average employer costs for civilian employees.
