proprietors of distilled spirits plants or 

bonded wine premises) to withdraw 

distilled spirits and wine, without 

payment of tax, for export, use on 

certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to a 

foreign trade zone, or transfer to a 

customs bonded warehouse pending 

exportation, subject to such regulations 

as the Secretary of the Treasury. Under 

that IRC authority, to protect the 

revenue and provide exporters with a 

degree of flexibility based on individual 

need, the TTB alcohol export 

regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow 

exporters to file either a specific bond 

using TTB F 5100.25 to cover a single 

export shipment or a continuing bond 

using TTB F 5100.30 to cover export

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Project Grant Agreement for the 

City of Boise, ID (Boise) Contains the 

Following Features 

1. The outcome goals of the social 

impact partnership project: 

Boise expects to realize a reduction in 

healthcare expenditures covered by 

Medicaid, including emergency room 

visits, hospital overnight stays, 

ambulance rides, detox visits, and 

savings due to a reduction in arrests and 

cost associated with county correctional 

facilities. The project objective is to 

decrease these expenditures by 25 

percent. 

2. A description of each intervention 

in the project: 

Boise and its partners (the Idaho 

Community Foundation (ICF), and Terry 

Reilly Health Services (TRHS)) propose

the Permanent Supportive Housing 

Pipeline Pay for Success project (the 

PSHP). The PSHP will provide 

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) 

and services using an Intensive Case 

Management (ICM) model including 

wrap-around services to 143 prioritized

with and without children experiencing 

long-term homelessness with at least 

one household member with at least one 

morbidity condition (chronic health 

condition, mental health condition, or 

substance use) in Ada County, Idaho. In 

Ada County, 765 households meet these 

criteria. Boise expects the project to 

reach 159 adults and 64 children. 

4. The expected social benefits to 

participants who receive the 

intervention and others who may be 

impacted: 

The primary expected social benefits

10. The evaluation design: 

To determine significance of impact, 

IPI will employ the following evaluative 

strategies: (1) a regression discontinuity, 

(2) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) 

omnibus test, and (3) paired pairwise ttest. To determine the amount of any net 

reductions in local, state, and federal 

expenditures, IPI will facilitate 

collection of the utilization and costs 

data for 36 months prior to Participants 

entering the intervention (time 0) and 

annually thereafter. To determine the 

amount of any net reductions in 

expenditures, IPI will compare the 

associated utilization costs for enrolled 

Participants against those not enrolled 

using individual-level data. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

The metrics used will be: 

• Reduction in costs related to arrests 

and jail. 

• Reduction in costs related to the 

number of days in mental health and 

substance abuse treatment. 

• Reduction in costs associated with 

paramedic calls, emergency department 

visits, and days in the hospital. 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the 

aggregate, if the agreement is entered 

into and implemented and the outcomes 

are achieved as a result of each 

intervention: 

The estimated savings to the federal 

government are $12,434,017. 

The estimated savings to the State of 

Idaho are $4,034,880. 

The estimated savings to the City of 

Boise are $1,133,396. 

The Project Grant Agreement for the 

City of Jacksonville, FL (Jacksonville) 

Contains the Following Features

The Project Grant Agreement for the 

City of New York, NY (New York City) 

Contains the Following Features 

1. The outcome goals of the social 

impact partnership project: 

The expected outcome for this 

intervention is a 25-percentage point 

increase in the rate of stable housing or 

stable shelter (achieving 50% for the 

treatment group versus 25% of the 

comparison group) with stable housing 

defined as a permanent housing 

placement (e.g., permanent supportive 

housing, Long Term Nursing Care, 

family reunification) and stable shelter 

defined as a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other 

emergency housing setting that lasts at 

least 6 months. 

2. A description of each intervention 

in the project: 

The Coordinated Behavioral Task 

Force (CBHT)—3 Initiative by the New 

York City Department of Homeless 

Services (DHS) is a project to assist 

different segments of the unsheltered 

homeless population in New York City 

by providing homeless individuals with 

transitional housing and connecting 

them to services through intensive 

outreach, engagement, and care 

coordination. This project is focused on 

clients who are resistant to service 

engagement or entrenched in an 

unsheltered setting. The CBHT model 

coordinates representatives from State 

and local agencies and organizations to 

provide enhanced clinical and thorough 

case management services and to create 

service plans which will move the 

individual into supportive housing and 

connections to services through targeted 

interventions. 

3. The target population that will be 

served by the project: 

This program targets high acuity (e.g., 

severity of an illness or medical 

condition) individuals experiencing 

unsheltered homelessness. DHS expects 

to enroll about 400 individuals aged 18 

or older experiencing unsheltered 

homelessness in New York City over 2- 

years, with services provided for up to 

a 39-month intervention period. 

4. The expected social benefits to 

participants who receive the 

intervention and others who may be 

impacted: 

New York City anticipates that this 

intervention will lead to improvements 

in quality of life associated with 

improved housing stability, increased 

access to healthcare, and decreased 

burden of disease. In addition, New 

York City expects that the 

improvements to the individual’s 

housing stability will lower government 

spending related to emergency room 

visits and criminal justice systems 

interactions. Reducing unsheltered 

homelessness among this vulnerable 

population is expected to have a wide 

range of broader social benefits as well, 

including improved conditions on 

public transit (especially increased 

cleanliness and perceived safety, which 

could lead to increased ridership), and 

improved conditions in other public 

spaces. 

5. The detailed roles, responsibilities, 

and purposes of each Federal, State, or 

local government entity, intermediary, 

service provider, independent evaluator, 

investor, or other stakeholder:

8. The project timeline: 

This project has a five-year project 

timeline from January 1, 2025, through 

December 31, 2029. The project 

intervention period, defined as the 

period in which services will be 

delivered, will be 39 months, from July 

1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. 

9. The project eligibility criteria: 

The CBHT–3 initiative will include 3 

task forces serving high needs 

individuals experiencing unsheltered 

homelessness: High Needs 

Individuals—Subway System, High 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices 106757 

Needs Individuals—Above Ground, and 

End of Line (EOL) High Service 

Utilizers. Eligibility criteria for the first 

two task forces were determined by DHS 

in collaboration with operational and 

social services partners. Based on 

recommendations from DHS’s partners, 

it was determined that in order to be 

selected for inclusion in the Subway 

System or Above Ground CBHT, an 

individual would have to meet 4 of 10 

criteria related to medical vulnerability, 

older age, long-term street 

homelessness, a history of 

hospitalizations, a history of 

involuntary removals, repeated service 

refusal, significant behavioral health 

diagnosis, heightened NYPD/MTA 

interactions, excessive belongings with 

them, and propensity for violence. 

Eligibility criteria for the EOL High 

Utilizers Task Force were developed 

based on early outcomes from the DHS 

EOL initiative. The EOL initiative 

focuses on engaging individuals at ‘‘End 

of line’’ stations—that is, the first and 

last stations of a given subway line— 

and bringing individuals into 

transitional housing beds. A January 

2024 study by the DSS Office of 

Evaluation and Research identified a 

small group of individuals that 

repeatedly cycled between transitional 

housing and EOL stations. While 

accounting for less than 6% of 

approximately 5,000 unique clients 

served by the EOL initiative during a 17- 

month study period, this group 

accounted for roughly one-third of all 

transitional housing placements made 

in that time. This population will serve 

as the target population for the EOL task 

force. 

10. The evaluation design: 

The evaluation will employ a quasiexperimental design to rigorously assess 

the CBHT–3 Initiative’s effectiveness in 

achieving its goal of stably housing 

individuals with complex health and 

mental health needs and long histories 

of unsheltered homelessness. 

Specifically, the evaluation will assess 

whether the initiative meets the 

outcome target of a 25-percentage point 

increase in the rate of stable housing or 

stable shelter. The initiative expects to 

achieve this impact by transitioning 

50% of the treatment group into stable 

housing as compared to a 25% rate 

among the comparison group, with 

stable housing defined as a permanent 

housing placement and stable shelter 

defined a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other 

emergency housing setting that lasts at 

least 6 months. The evaluation will also 

measure any associated reductions in 

hospitalization (after an expected initial 

increase to stabilize health and mental 

health conditions), emergency room 

visits, transports to emergency housing, 

and arrests. An implementation 

evaluation will offer further insight into 

the initiative’s activities and 

participants’ experiences. Comparison 

groups for the Subway System and 

Above Ground task force clients will be 

identified using propensity score 

matching, drawing on a rich set of 

longitudinal case management data to 

ensure matched groups. A comparison 

group for the EOL task force will be 

identified using random assignment 

from among those repeatedly cycling 

through the EOL initiative. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

Whether New York City has 

successfully transitioned 50% of the 

treatment group into stable housing or 

stable shelter as compared to a 25% rate 

among the comparison group, with 

stable housing defined as a permanent 

housing placement and stable shelter 

defined as a continuous stay in a lowbarrier stabilization bed or other 

emergency housing setting that lasts at 

least 6 months. 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the 

aggregate, if the agreement is entered 

into and implemented and the outcomes 

are achieved as a result of each 

intervention:

The Project Grant Agreement for the 

School Board of Leon County, FL (Leon 

County) Contains the Following 

Features 

1. The outcome goals of the social 

impact partnership project: 

Leon County will seek outcomes from 

two interventions, (1) Family Connects, 

a universal postpartum nurse home 

visiting program under which Leon 

County expects to see a significant 

reduction in newborn emergency room 

visits and (2), Reach Out and Read a 

literacy initiative working through 

pediatric care providers which seeks to

2. A description of each intervention 

in the project: 

As stated above, Leon County’s 

project has two interventions. The first, 

Family Connects, is a universal nurse 

home visit for new parents to reduce 

infant emergency medical care visits 

and maternal postpartum depression 

rates. The second, Reach Out and Read, 

is a universal early literacy initiative 

through which health care providers 

coach parents on reading to their 

children to improve early literacy, 

parental engagement, and school 

readiness among preschool-aged 

children.

6. The payment terms, the 

methodology used to calculate outcome 

payments, the payment schedule, and 

performance thresholds: 

Leon County will be eligible for a 

payment from Treasury if there is an 

expected decrease in infant emergency 

medical care usage rates through the 

Family Connects program and a 

reduction in maternal depression. 

7. The project budget: 

Project budget 

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Total project costs 

$466,666.00 $706,666.80 $706,666.80 $706,666.80 $706,666.80 $1,306,666.80 $4,600,000.00 

8. The project timeline: 

There is a seven-year intervention 

period. The project will begin the 

intervention in year two (2025) and end 

in year seven (2030), allowing for 

sufficient time for the independent 

evaluator to compete their assessment. 

9. The project eligibility criteria: 

The project is providing universal 

access to every family with newborns 

and young children within Leon 

County. 

10. The evaluation design: 

The use of quasi-experimental design 

is particularly suitable given the nonrandomizable nature of the 

interventions being assessed. The use of 

synthetic control methodology 

accommodates the study’s needs by 

allowing the integration of multiple data 

points (encompassing both health and 

educational metrics) to create a holistic 

view of each participant group. This 

methodology not only supports the 

establishment of a strong causal linkage 

between the interventions and observed 

outcomes but also provides a detailed 

counterfactual analysis. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

The number of emergency room visits 

per newborn, the prevalence of 

depressive symptoms among mothers, 

assessed at regular intervals, and school 

readiness indicators such as school 

entry assessments and teacher 

evaluations of readiness. 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the 

aggregate, if the agreement is entered 

into and implemented and the outcomes 

are achieved as a result of each 

intervention: 

The estimated savings to the federal 

government is $11,418,762. 

The estimated savings to the State of 

Florida is $5,132,751. 

The Project Grant Agreement for the 

County of New Castle, DE (New Castle 

County) Contains the Following 

Features 

1. The outcome goals of the social 

impact partnership project: 

The expected outcomes include a 

26.1% increase in permanent housing 

retention (proportion of families living 

in own rental home) and 29.7% 

decrease in avoidance of shelter stays 

(proportion of families with at least one 

night in emergency shelter). 

2. A description of each intervention 

in the project: 

The Family Housing Opportunities for 

Purposeful Empowerment Project (the 

Family HOPE Project)—a partnership 

between New Castle County and the 

Hope Center, an emergency shelter— 

will provide up to 90 days of temporary 

housing at the Hope Center, two years 

of rental assistance (disbursed as direct 

cash payments), and two years of case 

management and supportive services 

(such as financial counseling) for 120 

families over about four years. 

3. The target population that will be 

served by the project: 

The target population is homeless 

families who are not currently receiving 

a rental subsidy, housing voucher, or 

other form of public housing and have 

a household income less than 50% of 

the Area Median Income (AMI) in New 

Castle County. 

4. The expected social benefits to 

participants who receive the 

intervention and others who may be 

impacted: 

The program aims to reduce family 

homelessness by (1) improving 

permanent housing retention and (2) 

decreasing emergency shelter stays. 

Through permanent housing retention, 

the Recipient expects to reduce state 

and local expenditures on (a) the 

judicial and legal system cost of 

intimate partner violence, (b) police 

protection costs of intimate partner 

violence, (c) costs to child welfare 

agencies of out-of-home placements, 

and (d) reductions from eviction-related 

costs. The Recipient also expects that 

reducing shelter stays will lower 

federal, state, and local expenditures on 

emergency shelter stays, transitional 

housing stays, and public-school 

transportation.

family who (1) have at least one adult, 

aged 19 and older, and one or more 

children, aged 15 and younger, upon 

enrollment (inclusive of pregnant 

caregivers), (2) have family household 

income under 50% of the Area Median 

Income (AMI) in New Castle County, 

and (3) are not currently receiving a 

rental subsidy, housing voucher, or 

other form of public housing. Sex 

offenders are not eligible for the Family 

HOPE Project. 

10. Evaluation design: 

The study is a quasi-experimental 

design that compares the housing 

security outcomes of two groups: (1) a 

program group who receives a 2-year 

90% fair market rent (FMR) monthly 

cash assistance following a temporary 

maximum 90-day stay at the Hope 

Center (n=120) and (2) a household 

socio-demographic matched control 

group sourced from CMIS, which is 

composed of families on any waitlist for 

the Delaware State Housing Authority 

(DSHA)—or local-level housing 

authorities in New Castle County— 

Public Housing and Housing Choice 

Voucher Program as well as with start 

and exit dates to any housing program 

(e.g., emergency shelters, temporary 

housing, rapid re-rehousing) that match 

our study inclusion period (n=120). 

They will randomize controls at the 

family unit but will observe outcomes at 

the individual participant family head 

of household level, potentially boosting 

the study’s power. There are 2 

independent matched groups of 60 in 

this overall study, totaling 120 controls 

and 120 families receiving cash rental 

assistance. Cohort 1 begins in Q3 of 

2025, with cohort 2 following a year 

later, begins in Q3 of 2026. The design 

incorporates one-to-one propensity 

score matching. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

The following metrics will be used: 

• Permanent Housing Retention: The 

proportion of families ultimately 

living in their own rental home 

• Avoidance of the Shelter Stay: The 

proportion of families with at least 1 

night in emergency shelter 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the

Connects program is open to all mothers 

in Spartanburg County. 

10. The evaluation design: 

The choice of a Quasi-Experimental 

Design (QED), supported by Synthetic 

Control Methodology (SCM), is driven 

by the need for an assessment 

framework that allows for the control of 

confounding variables in nonrandomized environments, especially 

given the prospect of bringing to scale 

models that are offered to all families. 

This evaluation seeks to quantify the 

effects of targeted interventions on key 

parameters such as Kindergarten 

Readiness and specific health outcomes 

indicative of infant and maternal health. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

The metrics used in the evaluation 

include costs associated with a 

reduction in newborn ER visits and a 

reduction in costs associated with low 

birthweight. 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the 

aggregate, if the agreement is entered 

into and implemented and the outcomes 

are achieved as a result of each
