Title of Proposal: Public and Indian Housing-Resident Satisfaction
and Management Needs Survey for the Chicago Housing Authority.
OMB Control Number:
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD
is in the process of assessing management needs at the CHA, and as part
of that effort, has planned a survey of CHA residents to obtain their
perceptions of living conditions in CHA developments and their
satisfaction with CHA services. It is HUD's intent that this survey
capture a baseline of resident satisfaction that can be used to measure
changes in satisfaction one year after the initial survey. There are
three instruments which will be used in this study: Building Level Data
form, Record of Contact Sheet, and the CHA Resident Satisfaction and
Management Needs Survey. The Building Level form will be completed for
each building in the survey sample. The information collected includes
size of the building, history of modernization activities, and type of
CHA management. The Contact Sheet is a record of the interviewer's
attempts to contact residents in a particular unit. The final study
instrument is the CHA Resident Satisfaction and Management Needs
Survey. The survey will be administered face-to-face by trained
interviewers who will record each resident's answers. The questions on
the survey cover the following topics: perceptions of maintenance of
residents' apartments and buildings, CHA management performance,
perceptions of crime and safety, use of services on-site, effect of HUD
takeover, and basic demographic data.
