Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Title: Evaluation of the Transitional Living Program (TLP).
    OMB No.: 0970-0383.
    Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and the 
Office of Planning, Research, Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF) are requesting to continue collecting 
data as part of a currently approved information collection (OMB No. 
0970-0383). The purpose is to continue baseline data collection at 
study enrollment and follow-up data collection for the Evaluation of 
the Transitional Living Program (TLP). The TLP evaluation was designed 
to examine the effects of FYSB's Transitional Living Program on runaway 
and homeless youth, focusing on such outcomes as housing and 
homelessness, education or training, employment, social connections, 
socio-emotional well-being, and risk behaviors.
    Data collection will include three primary surveys, previously 
approved by OMB: (1) A survey administered at the time of TLP 
enrollment (baseline), (2) a survey administered 6 months after 
enrollment, which will collect information on short-terms outcomes; and 
(3) a survey administered at 12 months, which will collect information 
on longer-term outcomes. Participants will be enrolled through the TLP 
study sites.
    Respondents: Runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to 22 who agree to 
participate in the study upon enrollment into one of the TLP study 
sites.
