The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting approval of revisions to the Office of Community Services Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration information collection. This information collection was originally approved for 6 months as an emergency approval to satisfy a request in House Report 117-403 for a report on the results of the demonstration within one year of the award of grants for the program.
OCS requests to extend the approval in order to continue reporting on the findings of the demonstration program, monitoring program performance, and supporting program improvement. The program received additional appropriations in FY 2024.
In addition to extending the approval, OCS seeks to update the burden estimates to accommodate an anticipated increase in the number of grant recipients, as well as to collect additional follow-up responses to the instruments examining service receipt and self-sufficiency for individuals. Finally, OCS has made updates to approved forms in order to accommodate the universe of future grant recipients and in response to feedback received during the 60-day comment period.
US Code:
42 USC 1310
Name of Law: Social Security Act
This request is to revise and extend approval of the data collection under OMB #0970-0628 to collect follow up data from respondents, continue monitoring progress of the program, and provide follow up reporting on the results of the demonstration.
