Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects: Evaluation of the Transitional Living Program 
(TLP).
    Title: Evaluation of the Transitional Living Program (TLP).
    OMB No.: 0970-0383.
    Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as amended 
by Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.), provides for the 
Transitional Living Program (TLP), a residential program lasting up to 
18 months designed to prepare older homeless youth ages 16-21 for a 
healthy and self-sufficient adulthood. Section 119 of RHYA requires a 
study on the long-term housing outcomes of youth after exiting the 
program.
    The proposed collection is being carried out in two steps:
    1. Interviews with TLP grantee administrators and front line staff 
about program structure, implementation, and approaches to service 
delivery.
    2. A set of surveys to be administered to run away and homeless 
youth to measure their short-term and longer-term outcomes such as 
demographic characteristics, receipt of TLP or ``TLP-like'' services, 
housing, employment, education, social connections (e.g., social 
relationships, civic engagement), psychosocial well-being (e.g., 
depressive symptoms, traumatic stress, risky behavior, history of 
abuse), and other measures related to self-sufficiency and well-being 
(exposure to violence, financial competence).
    This information will be used to better understand the most 
effective practices that improve the long-term outcomes for runaway and 
homeless youth and reduce future episodes of homelessness.
    Respondents: (1) Youth ages 16-21 participating in Transitional 
Living Programs and (2) the Executive Director and front line staff 
representing TLP grantees.
