The following text provides information on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) planned evaluation of the implementation and impact of the Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP) grants. These grants are administered by HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH). The following information is organized to respond directly to itemized subsections Part A and B of the Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions (Supporting Statement). For reviewers only interested in the itemized responses to Part A and Part B, please turn to Section 1.1. The Evaluation of the OAHMP grants will assess the OLHCHH grant program's effectiveness. HUD’s purpose for the OAHMP is to assist experienced nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and public housing authorities in undertaking comprehensive programs that make safety and functional home modifications, and limited repairs to meet the needs of low-income elderly homeowners. The goal of the home modification program is to enable low-income elderly persons to remain in their homes through low-cost, low barrier, high impact home modifications to reduce older adults’ risk of falling, improve general safety, increase accessibility, and to improve their functional abilities in their home. This will enable older adults to remain in their homes, that is, to “age in place,” rather than move to nursing homes or other assisted care facilities. Under the terms of the OLHCHH OAHMP NOFO, grantees are required to collaborate with PD&R “on that Office’s evaluation of the impact of the OAHMP, and any other HUD research on the program.” OLHCHH developed an OAHM “Program Services Model” for this grant program that “incorporates two core concepts: first, as people age, their needs change, and they may need adaptations to their physical environment to live safely at home; second, for any intervention to have the highest impact, the individual’s personal goals and needs must be a driver in determining the actual intervention.” The Program Services Model components for grantees are summarized as follows: 1. An initial interview and in-home assessment is conducted by a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT), licensed OT Assistant (OTA), or Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), with the latter two working under the supervision of a licensed OT. The OT, OTA, or CAPS will conduct the initial interview with the client and care takers (if available) in their home and assess the home for safety hazards, including the client’s fall risk, and/or the client’s functional abilities with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instruments of daily living (IADLs) 2. A work order is created by the OT or by a licensed OTA or CAPS whose work under the grant is supervised by a licensed OT. With the client’s consent, the OT, OTA, or CAPS will prioritize necessary home modifications and complete a work order and any additional specifications. 3. Home modification work is conducted by a licensed, or in accordance with local and state regulations, contractor qualified to perform the required work. 4. An in-home follow-up assessment and inspection is conducted by the licensed OT, who will also train the client in the safe and proper use of adaptive equipment and home modifications. During this visit, the OT will also inspect the home modification work to ensure it meets the work order requirements and complete a new work order for any needed adjustments.
