Title: Evaluation of the Transitional Living Program (TLP)
OMB No.: 0970-0383
Description: The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as amended
by Public Law 106-71 (42 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.), provides for the
Transitional Living Program (TLP), a residential program lasting up to
18 months designed to prepare older homeless youth ages 16-21 for a
healthy and self-sufficient adulthood. Section 119 of RHYA requires a
study on the long-term housing outcomes of youth after exiting the
program. In addition to collecting information on housing outcomes, the
study will also consider the living, employment, education, and family
situation of the youth before and after their time in the TLP. This
information will be used to better understand the most effective
practices in improving long-term outcomes of youth in an effort to
guide program improvements.
Respondents: (1) Youth ages 16-21 participating in Transitional
Living Programs and (2) the Executive Director and Program Manager
representing TLP grantees.
