Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of the Transitional Living Program (TLP).
OMB No.: 0970-0383.
Description: The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and the
Office of Planning, Research, Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) are requesting to continue collecting
data as part of a currently approved information collection (OMB No.
0970-0383). The purpose is to continue baseline data collection at
study enrollment and follow-up data collection for the Evaluation of
the Transitional Living Program (TLP). The TLP evaluation was designed
to examine the effects of FYSB's Transitional Living Program on runaway
and homeless youth, focusing on such outcomes as housing and
homelessness, education or training, employment, social connections,
socio-emotional well-being, and risk behaviors.
Data collection will include three primary surveys, previously
approved by OMB: (1) A survey administered at the time of TLP
enrollment (baseline), (2) a survey administered 6 months after
enrollment, which will collect information on short-terms outcomes; and
(3) a survey administered at 12 months, which will collect information
on longer-term outcomes. Participants will be enrolled through the TLP
study sites.
Respondents: Runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to 22 who agree to
participate in the study upon enrollment into one of the TLP study
sites.
