    Description of the Need for the Information and its Proposed Use: 
Questions have been raised among some observers of the HOPE VI program 
about where the original residents of the developments are living. The 
purposes of the information collected for this study is to increase 
knowledge of the ways in which housing choices and outcomes of original 
residents are affected by revitalization efforts at selected HOPE VI 
sites. Data gathered will be used by the Urban Institute and Abt 
Associates to prepare a project report that will allow HUD to begin 
assessing the benefits of HOPE VI for the original residents, 
particularly those that may accrue to families choosing to move to 
other locations, and to provide more guidance to grantees on relocation 
choices and strategies. This notice covers the second and third waves 
of a three-wave panel study. The survey for waves 2 and 3 will cover 
the same topic areas as were addressed in the baseline survey: housing 
and neighborhood conditions; adult and child health; child education; 
adult employment, income and hardship; and relocation from public 
housing.
    Form Number: None.
    Members of Affected Public: 887 randomly selected original 
residents of the five selected HOPE VI sites that have received HOPE VI 
grants between 1998 and 2000 and that have not begun relocating 
residents.
    Frequency of Submission: Once.
