Abstract: This request is for the clearance of semi-structured telephone interview survey instruments designed to collect information on the Demonstration Planning Grant (DPG) evaluation. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the DPG program to help sponsors start construction on Section 202 projects within the required 18-month time-frame. The survey component of the evaluation will solicit information from three groups: HUD field office staff that administer the Section 202 and DPG programs; recipients of DPG funds and non-recipients of DPG funds. Seventy (70) DPG recipients and 30 non-recipients will be surveyed. Although the overall study includes interviews of HUD field office staff OMB clearance is not required for that portion of the study. The research questions seek to understand the implementation of the DPG program from the perspectives of both Section 202 sponsors and HUD field office staff.
