A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Family Options Study 12-Year 
Follow-up: Survey Data Collection--Phase II.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0259.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
purpose of this proposed information collection is to administer a 12-
Year Follow-up Survey with the families that enrolled in the U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Family Options 
Study between September 2010 and January 2012.
    The Family Options Study is a multi-site experiment designed to 
test the impacts of different housing and service interventions on 
homeless families in five key domains: housing stability, family 
preservation, adult well-being, child well-being, and self-sufficiency. 
Both the design and the scale of the study provide a strong basis for 
conclusions about the relative impacts of the interventions over time, 
and data collected at two previous points in time, twenty (20) months 
after random assignment and thirty-seven (37) months after random 
assignment, yielded powerful evidence regarding the positive impact of 
providing a non-time-limited housing subsidy to a family experiencing 
homelessness. It is possible, though, that some effects of the various 
interventions might change over time or take longer to emerge, 
particularly for child well-being. Therefore, HUD plans to conduct a 
follow up survey of study families roughly twelve years after 
enrollment into the study. The 12-Year Follow-up Survey will attempt to 
collect information from three separate samples: (1) the 2,241 heads of 
household who originally enrolled in the study, (2) a sample of 2,220 
young children between the ages of 10-17 who currently reside with the 
head of households, and (3) a new sample of 1,831 ``adult children'' 
who consist of the young adults who were minor children during the base 
study period, but who have aged into adulthood over the past twelve 
years.
