    Title of the Collection: Domestic Violence Housing First 
Demonstration Evaluation.
    Type of Collection: Revision.
    OMB No.: 0990-0458.
    Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and 
Evaluation (ASPE) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services, in partnership with the Office for Victims of Crimes within 
the U.S. Department of Justice, is seeking approval by OMB for a 
revision to add a 24-month follow-up data collection to an existing 
information collection request entitled, ``Domestic Violence Housing 
First (DVHF) Demonstration Evaluation'' (OMB Control Number: HHS-OS-
0990-0458). The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence 
(WSCADV) is overseeing and coordinating an evaluation of the DVHF 
Demonstration project through a contract with ASPE. This quasi-
experimental research study involves longitudinally examining the 
program effects of DVHF on domestic violence survivors' safety and 
housing stability. The findings will be of interest to the general 
public, to policy-makers, and to organizations working with domestic 
violence survivors.
    Current data collection that has been approved by OMB includes in-
depth, private interviews with 320 domestic violence survivors 
conducted by trained professional staff. The data are currently 
approved for collection at study enrollment (Time 1), and at follow-up 
interviews every six months after the Time 1 Interview (i.e., 6, 12, 
and 18 months) to examine the match between needs and services, as well 
as their safety and housing stability. The proposed revision to the 
collection would add a fourth follow-up data collection to be 
administered 24 months after study enrollment (Time 1) to examine 
longer-term impacts of the Domestic Violence Housing First 
Demonstration program. The follow-up survey is identical to the one 
used at the 6, 12, and 18 month follow-up. The respondents are domestic 
violence survivors who are enrolled in the Domestic Violence Housing 
First Demonstration Evaluation (OMB Control Number HHS-OS-0990-0458). 
Study enrollment is taking place over 15 months, so the annualized 
burden for the 24-month follow-up survey is based on 12/15 (256) of the 
expected sample (320).
