A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Family Options 12 Year Study: 
Tracking and Reengagement Data Collection.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0259.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collections.
    Form Number: NA.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
purpose of this proposed information collection is to locate the 
families that enrolled in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development's (HUD) Family Options Study between September 2010 and 
January 2012 and to update their current contact information.
    The Family Options Study is a multi-site experiment designed to 
test the impacts of different housing and service interventions on 
homeless families in five key domains: Housing stability, family 
preservation, adult well-being, child well-being, and self-sufficiency. 
Both the design and the scale of the study provides a strong basis for 
conclusions about the relative impacts of the interventions over time, 
and data collected at two previous points in time, twenty (20) months 
after random assignment and thirty-seven (37) months after random 
assignment, yielded powerful evidence regarding the positive impact of 
providing a non-time-limited housing subsidy to a family experiencing 
homelessness. It is possible, though, that some effects of the various 
interventions might change over time or take longer to emerge, 
particularly for child well-being. Therefore, HUD plans to conduct a 
follow-up survey of study families roughly eleven years after 
enrollment into the study. Locating, reengaging, and updating the 
contact information for study families will be critical to supporting a 
healthy response rate for the planned 11-year follow-up survey.
    This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on 
the Participant Update Contact Form that will be used to reengage with 
study families and gather updated contact information.
