The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development contracted with Decision Information Resources (DIR) to conduct a study on the Housing Choice Voucher program and new rent rules model that was implemented as part of the Rent Reform Demonstration. As part of this study, we would like to ask you a few questions. Before we begin, I would like to assure you that all of your responses on will be kept private to the full extent provided by law; the research staff has been trained in protecting private information and your name will not appear in any written reports we produce. The information requested under this collection is protected and held private in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 1306, 20 CFR 401 and 402, 5 U.S.C.552 (Freedom of Information Act), 5 U.S.C. 552a (Privacy Act of 1974) and OMB Circular No. A-130. Your responses will be combined with about 6,000 other participants and will be reported for groups of individuals; no results will be analyzed or reported for individuals.
Your responses to these questions are also completely voluntary. That means you may choose not to answer any question, or you may stop the interview if you wish at any time. Your participation in the survey will not affect your participation in the HUD Rent Reform Demonstration OR any benefits you may receive now or in the future. Your responses will in no way affect your eligibility for housing assistance or the way your rent amount is calculated by [LOCAL PHA]. We will also obtain data from administrative records.
These questions have been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response. HUD may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection information unless that collection displays or reports a valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 2528-0306, and it expires XX-XX-XXXX.
And finally, this interview might be monitored or recorded for quality control purposes.
Do I have your consent to continue with this interview?
