A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the HUD-DOJ Pay for 
Success Permanent Supportive Housing Demonstration.
    MB Approval Number: 2528-0319.
    Type of Request: Extension of a 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 $8.68 million 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 2024, four 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.
