the first phase of the evaluation, MDRC
is expected to conduct two rounds of
staff interviews with each PHA. During
the first round, MDRC expects to
interview up to ten staff per PHA
(reflecting a mix of executive
management staff, public housing and
HCV directors, and public housing and
HCV specialists). The second round will
focus on staff most directly involved
with implementing the new rent
policies (public housing and HCV
directors and/or managers, and public
housing and HCV specialists). The mode
in Round 1will be a mix of one-on-one
interviews and group interviews, with
small groups of 2–3 staff performing
similar roles. The mode in Round 2 will
be group interviews, with groups of 2–
4 staff performing similar roles.

MDRC will collect data extracts that
will include a small subset of data
elements captured by the PHAs
exclusively for the demonstration,
called the ‘‘Rent Policy Implementation
Data Tracking Tool.’’ MDRC will collect
these data fields along with MTW
Expansion 50058 data, which is
collected under OMB control number
2577–0083, directly from PHAs during
the early implementation period to
ensure that the new rent rules are being
implemented correctly and throughout
the demonstration to track hardship
requests and collect updated contact
information for ongoing
communications and reminders about
the demonstration and for potential
follow-up surveys.
