Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to extend data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic has allowed ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary award. This information is required under 45 CFR 75.342, monitoring and reporting program performance; 45 CFR 75.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). This current request is for an extension for the overarching generic and ongoing generic information collections under the umbrella. The request also expands the overarching generic to include the collection of performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a non-discretionary award.

Abstract

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking through the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The central purpose of the DVHT Program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve their well-being and health outcomes. Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Program Data (OMB #0970-0542) is an active and approved collection of client-level data on those served through the DVHT Program. The information collected allows ACF to evaluate service delivery efforts, inform prevention programming, and monitor program outcomes. In addition to client-level data, information on the type and cost of services provided through the program is collected to enable ACF to respond to congressional inquiries related to program spending and to provide technical assistance to grant recipients on managing available funding for individuals and households enrolled in the program. DVHT currently inclusive of two distinct award programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program (DVHT-SO) and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments under OMB #0970-0542 apply to both DVHT programs. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) serves as the lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency to combat trafficking and modern forms of slavery by administering anti-trafficking programs through grants and contracts and collaborating with federal, tribal, state, and local governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), a federal agency within ACF, provides leadership over anti-trafficking programs and services under the purview of ACF, including implementation of authorities under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended; Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113‒183); Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114‒22); and the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398). In 2016, OTIP, with authority from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106‒386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code § 7105(c)(4), established the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) to build the capacity of health and human services professionals and help prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. This is an existing collection that allows NHTTAC to assess the ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of health and human services professionals in preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking, and to determine the level of satisfaction with services provided by NHTTAC. This package includes eight instruments to assist with a comprehensive evaluation of NHTTAC’s T/TA events and associated efforts. This collection of information is necessary to enable NHTTAC to collect recipient and partner feedback in an efficient, timely manner and in accordance with OTIP’s commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from recipients and partners will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with NHTTAC’s T/TA services. This feedback provides insights into recipient or partner perceptions, expectations, and experiences; provides an early warning of issues with T/TA; and focuses attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve the delivery of T/TA or the responsiveness of NHTTAC. These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between NHTTAC and its recipients and partners. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

The Understanding and Expanding the Reach of Home Visiting (HV-REACH) Project is being conducted by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration. As part of this project, this request is for a onetime set of qualitative case studies to describe centralized intake systems, used by seven purposively selected sites that refer families to Early Childhood Home Visiting programs. The research team will conduct virtual or in-person site visits, with semi-structured interviews and document collection, to understand different features of these systems and family and staff experiences with outreach, screening, referrals, and enrollment processes. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.
