                        *www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.*

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Description:*
                     The ACF, Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) requests public comment on a proposed extension to a currently approved information collection for the Evaluation of FUP. The approved instruments, supporting statements, and attachments are available at 
                    *https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAViewICR?​ref_​nbr=​202009-0970-004.*
                     No changes are proposed. Activities include site visits to each program to speak with program leaders, partners and key stakeholders, front-line staff, and participants as well as program and administrative data collection. The evaluation will contribute to understanding the effects of FUP on project participants' child welfare involvement. This evaluation is part of a larger project to help ACF build the evidence base in child welfare through rigorous evaluation of programs, practices, and policies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds and administers FUP. The study will also contribute to HUD's understanding of how housing can serve as a platform for improving quality of life. *Respondents:*
