Abstract of Proposed Collection: The proposed study will develop
and further the Department of Labor's understanding of the traits and
characteristics of programs which provide employment and training
services for homeless veterans. Comparing results of different grantee
models (both urban and non-urban) will assist the Department with
performance outcome comparisons across grantees and identification of
best practices. This questionnaire asks for opinions, reactions, and
thoughts regarding the HVRP program.
Methodology: The collection of information will utilize a web-based
survey design. Alternatively, participants will be able to complete the
survey using a paper-based version if they prefer such a format. A
paper copy of the survey will be mailed to participants who request a
paper based format and will include a postage paid return envelope for
submission.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 8th day of August 2008.
Charles S. Ciccolella,
Assistant Secretary, Veterans Employment and Training Service.
