Abstract: The U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Justice (DOJ) entered into an interagency collaboration that combines DOJ’s mission to promote safer communities by focusing on the reentry population with HUD’s mission to end chronic homelessness. This collaboration resulted in the Pay for Success Permanent Supportive Housing Demonstration with $8.68M awarded to seven communities to develop supportive housing for persons cycling between the jail or prison systems and the homeless service systems using pay for success (PFS) as a funding mechanism. HUD-DOJ announced seven grantees from across the country in June 2016. The PFS Demonstration grant supports activities throughout the PFS lifecycle, including feasibility analysis, transaction structuring, and outcome evaluation and success payments, with each grantee receiving funds for different stages in the PFS lifecycle. Through the national evaluation, which is funded through an interagency agreement between HUD and DOJ and managed by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research, HUD-DOJ seek to assess whether PFS is a viable model for scaling supportive housing to improve outcomes for a re-entry population. The main goal of the evaluation is to learn how the PFS model is implemented in diverse settings with different structures, populations, and community contexts. The Urban Institute has designed a multi-disciplinary, multi-method approach to “learn as we do” and meet the key objectives of the formative evaluation. To understand project implementation, the evaluation includes data collection on both the time that project partners dedicate to each PFS project as well as PFS partner perceptions and interactions and community-level changes that may benefit the target population. This information collection request is for an ongoing time survey and an annual partnership web survey. The time survey will be used to assess staff time spent on development of each PFS project throughout the different lifecycle phases and the partnership survey will be used to document partner perceptions and interactions and community-level changes that may benefit the target population.

Short Statement: This is a new collection. HUD and DOJ entered into an innovative interagency collaboration that resulted in the PFS Permanent Supportive Housing Demonstration with $8.68M awarded to seven grantees in June 2016 to develop supportive housing for persons cycling between the jail or prison systems and the homeless service systems using PFS as a funding mechanism. As this interagency collaboration and demonstration is new, there has not been any prior information collected. This data collection is part of the national evaluation, managed by the Office of Policy Development and Research at HUD, that is designed to help HUD-DOJ assess whether PFS is a viable model for scaling supportive housing to improve outcomes for a re-entry population. This data collection request is for a Weekly Text Time Survey, Monthly Web-Based Time Survey, and Annual Web-Based Partnership Survey. The Weekly Text Time Survey and Monthly Web-Based Time Survey will be used to assess staff time spent on development of each PFS project throughout the different lifecycle phases and the Annual Web-Based Partnership Survey will be used to document partner perceptions and interactions and community-level changes that may benefit the target population
