SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) in the 
U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is undertaking the Pathway Home Grant 
Program Evaluation. The overall aim of the evaluation is to determine 
whether the Pathway Home grant programs improve employment and justice 
outcomes and workforce readiness for adults by expanding the 
availability of services to individuals in the justice system, both 
before and after release. The Evaluation of the Pathway Home Grant 
Program (Pathway Home Evaluation) offers a unique opportunity to build 
knowledge about the implementation and effectiveness of these programs. 
CEO contracted with Mathematica and its subcontractor, Social Policy 
Research Associates, to conduct an implementation and impact study. 
This information collection request seeks Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) clearance for two new data collection instruments. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related

of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to 
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
