A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Resident Opportunity and SelfSufficiency Service Coordinator (ROSS– 

SC) Program Evaluation. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–New. 

Type of Request: New. 

Form Number: No forms. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD is 

conducting this study under contract 

with the Urban Institute and its 

subcontractors (EJP Consulting). The 

project is an evaluation of the Resident 

Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency 

Service Coordinator (ROSS–SC) 

program operated by grantees across the 

country. It will include a national webbased survey and in-person site visits to 

select grantees. Since 2008, the ROSS– 

SC program has provided information 

and referral for families, elderly, and 

disabled residents in public housing by 

funding local Service Coordinators to 

link residents to resources that they 

need to become independent and selfsufficient. The purpose of the program 

is to leverage existing local public and 

private services to increase income, 

reduce or eliminate welfare assistance, 

work towards economic independence 

and housing self-sufficiency, and 

improve living conditions and ability to 

age in-place for elderly and disabled 

residents. To date, there has been no 

HUD-funded evaluation of this program. 

A GAO study across several HUD selfsufficiency programs published in 2013 

found that the ROSS–SC program lacked 

enough quality data on participation 

and outcomes ‘‘to determine whether it 

was meeting goals of the effective and 

efficient use of resources’’ in improving 

resident self-sufficiency and 

independence. They recommended 

improving the data reporting process 

and developing a strategy for regularly 

analyzing ROSS–SC participation and 

outcome data. This project helps 

implement GAO’s recommendations by: 

(1) Assessing improvements in program 

processes and reporting since changes 

were made to the program’s logic model 

in FY 2014; (2) examining the breadth 

and depth of ROSS–SC program 

implementation by current service 

coordinators across all grantee types; 

and (3) analyzing current reporting 

requirements and performance metrics 

to improve future program outcome 

evaluation. To do so, this study will use 

a full population survey of current 

service coordinators funded through 

ROSS–SC grants made in FY 2013, FY 

2014, and FY 2015, and site visits to 

select grantees. 

A web-based survey will allow the 

study team to investigate important 

Service Coordinator (SC) program 

characteristics not included in grant 

applications or current reporting tools, 

in order to provide generalizable 

evidence on the ‘‘effective and efficient 

use of resources’’ across all ROSS–SC 

service coordinators. These include SC 

qualifications and experience, program
