Enrollment is a five-step process. This document includes two of the components: the Household Roster (step 1 below) and Baseline Information Form (step 3 below):

1. Household Roster [Administered by PHA staff; either in-person or remotely (videoconference or phone)].

2. Informed Consent [Administered by PHA staff; either in-person or remotely]

The Household Roster and Baseline Information Form are administered by PHA staff as online forms to the heads of all households enrolling in the Demonstration. A small amount of information (the Household Roster) is collected from the head of household prior to the head of household providing consent to participate, and more information (the Baseline Information Form) is collected from the head of household after they provide consent.]

The information I am going to ask you about will only be used for the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration. It will not be used for your eligibility for the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

This research is conducted under the authority of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to undertake programs of research, studies, testing and demonstration related to the mission and programs of HUD (12 USC 1701z-1 et seq.).

The information you provide may be used to help HUD improve the voucher program. You will be asked some questions about your contact information and the members of your household. Your responses will not affect your current or future receipt of housing assistance or other benefits. The collection of this information has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB No. XXXX-XXXX, which expires on MM/DD/YYYY. Please remember that your participation is voluntary and you can choose not to answer any question. We appreciate your input.

The Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: This collection of information is voluntary and will be used to evaluate the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 45 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB number and expiration date for this collection are OMB #: XXX-XXXX, Exp: XX/XX/XXXX. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to XX at XXXX@XXX or NNN-NNN-NNNN.
