    Title: Understanding Urban Indians' Interactions with ACF Programs 
and Services.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: As part of the ``Understanding Urban Indians' 
Interactions with ACF Programs and Services'' research study, telephone 
interviews will be conducted with up to 34 directors of Urban Indian 
Centers around the county, and site visits will be made to four urban 
areas with a high percentage of American Indians or Alaska Natives 
within the population: Phoenix, AZ; New York City, NY; Minneapolis, MN; 
and Anchorage, Alaska. Members of the research study team will utilize 
a telephone interview guide and field discussion guide to collect 
information from staff members at relevant programs and organizations 
(e.g., American Indian Organizations, social service agencies serving 
urban Indians) in these areas.
    The goal of this information collection is to assess the challenges 
and context for family self-sufficiency for urban Indians and their 
interaction with services and programs offered by ACF. The information 
gathered will help to generate recommendations and action items for ACF 
in seeking to better understand and meet the needs of the urban Indian 
population.
    Respondents: Urban Indian Center directors, non-Native service 
providers, Native service providers, and AI/AN residents.
