Information on Document
Title: Evaluation of The Transitional Living Program (TLP) for
Homeless Youth.
OMB No.: 0980-New OMB Request.
Description: The Transitional Living Program (TLP) for Homeless
Youth is authorized under the Runaway Youth Act, Title III of the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974, as
amended in 1988. The legislation requires the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to submit an annual
report to Congress on the status and accomplishments of the TLP
projects (Title III, part D, sec. 361(b)).
The goal of the TLP is to promote transition to selfsufficient
living and to prevent long-term dependency on social services. TLP is
implemented through grants to public entities (State and local
governments) and to private, non-profit organizations. In 1990, 45
projects were funded, 32 were funded in 1991, and 9 were funded in
1992. Each grant is for a 3-year period, with annual continuation
renewals required.
The evaluation focuses on measuring three types of particular
outcomes: (1) Self-sufficiency, (2) independent living, and (3)
personal income. The central feature of the participant impact
evaluation design is a prospective study of TLP participants, in
comparison with similar homeless youth in the same communities. The
purpose of studying comparison groups is to measure what might have
happened to participant youth had they not participated in the program.
The impact evaluation will be conducted at 10 sites. Participant data
will be collected using project management information systems and
instruments adapted from other concurrent studies, to the extent
possible.
Annual Number of Respondents: 2,882.
Annual Frequency: 1.
Average Burden Hours Per Response: .5-1.
Total Burden Hours: 1,807.
Dated: March 11, 1994.

Deputy Director, Office of Information Systems Management.
