A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of Moving to Work 
Cohort 4 Landlord Incentives.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Office of Policy Development and Research at the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing the collection of information 
for the Evaluation of Moving to Work Cohort 4 Landlord Incentives.
    Congress authorized HUD in 2016 to add 100 PHAs to the Moving to 
Work Demonstration and mandated that HUD use the expansion to test the 
impact of specific policies intended to improve the efficacy of PHA 
programs. The Moving to Work Cohort 4 Landlord Incentives will 
investigate whether offering incentives to landlords to participate in 
the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program will increase the number of 
participating landlords and improve the lease-up rate of households 
with a housing choice voucher.
    This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on 
the information collection for the Evaluation of Moving to Work Cohort 
4 Landlord Incentives.
    After OMB approval of the Paperwork Reduction Act package, Abt 
Associates will conduct the research over a 3-year period, including 
the following: conduct a baseline web-based survey of sampled PHAs, 
baseline site interviews with PHA staff, phone interviews with PHA 
staff, a follow-up web survey with PHA staff, follow-up site visits at 
PHA locations, and interviews with landlords in sampled cities.
