SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

in neighborhood opportunity on the employment, income, education 
achievement, and social well-being of low-income public housing 
families. Between 1994 and 1998 families living in high poverty public

measuring impacts after 10 years.
