ONAP Training and Technical Assistance Evaluation Form.

OMB Approval Number:

2577-0291.

Type of Request:

Reinstatement without change.

Form Number:

Form HUD-5879.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use:

The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) authorizes funding for the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program that supports the development, management, and operation of affordable homeownership and rental housing and other forms of housing assistance for low-income persons in Indian areas. Federally-recognized Native American tribes and Alaska Native villages, tribally-designated housing entities, and State-recognized tribes formerly eligible under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 are eligible to receive IHBG funds.

HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) administers the IHBG program and offers contracted training and technical assistance to IHBG recipients on program requirements. ONAP's Notice of Funding Opportunity for training and technical assistance services includes the requirement for the contractor(s) to use an OMB-approved evaluation form at all ONAP-sponsored events. At the end of each training and technical assistance event, participants are invited to voluntarily complete the Training and Technical Assistance Evaluation Form (form HUD-5879) to assess training and technical assistance effectiveness and solicit ideas for improvement. Form HUD-5879 is a two-page survey instrument and does not collect any personally identifiable information, including a participant's name.
