A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: EnVision Centers Implementation 
Evaluation.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Form Number: NA.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
request is for the collection of information for an implementation 
evaluation of EnVision Centers. EnVision Centers offer collocated and 
integrated services with the goal of helping low-income persons achieve 
self-sufficiency. Using leveraged resources from local and federal 
partnerships, HUD encourages EnVision Centers to target and integrate 
services within four main pillars: Economic empowerment, educational 
advancement, health and wellness, and character and leadership. In June 
2018, HUD designated 18 EnVision Centers as part of the initiative's 
first cohort of designations and has since expanded the initiative with 
over 90 EnVision Centers to date. This creates a critical need to gain 
an in-depth understanding from local stakeholders of implementation 
efforts to date, which will help develop and guide the initiative while 
establishing a framework of knowledge for future program monitoring and 
evaluation efforts. The evaluation team will collect data from sites 
using qualitative, semi-structured interviews with four groups of key 
local stakeholders: Site leadership, front line staff, participants, 
and representatives from organizations (partners) that provide services 
and resources to the EnVision Center. The interviews will primarily 
seek to understand how communities selected and established their 
center, the process for centralized intake and participant level data 
collection, and how new partnerships and services have developed since 
the center's designation. Through an Inter-Agency Agreement (IAA), the 
Library of Congress' Federal Research Division will conduct the 
evaluation under guidance from HUD.
