Abstract:
Upon passage of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) President Biden stated his expectation that ARP programs would be implemented in ways that align with the goals of Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. The charge to the agencies was further communicated in OMB M-21-20 and OMB M-21-24, and in early direction from the White House ARP Implementation Coordinator. OES’s ARP National Evaluation includes a portfolio of studies that supports this goal by providing a systematic look at the contributions of selected ARP-funded programs toward achieving equitable outcomes to inform program design and delivery across the Federal government. The subset of programs of interest is the list of 32 programs covered in the May 2022 White House “Advancing Equity through the American Rescue Plan” report, which represent nearly $900 billion or 60 percent of American Rescue Plan funds, excluding Economic Impact Payments (i.e., stimulus checks). The National Evaluation aims to learn how lessons from examination of ARP programs and interventions with shared outcomes, common approaches, or overlapping recipient communities may inform equitable program design and delivery across the federal government. This multi-part study includes three mixed or multi-method evaluations that focus on different subsets of ARP programs. The evaluations will address: • State Strategies for Cross-Program Coordination to Serve Low Income Children and Families Through the American Rescue Plan • Evaluating Equitable Implementation of ARP Housing Programs in Communities with Homelessness and Housing Instability • Integration of Funding to Increase Equitable Access to Behavioral Health Crisis Services Each of the three evaluations will use a different combination of quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. The current information collection request is related to the preliminary and formative components of the study. This includes initial outreach to the relevant State and local contacts in the geographic areas selected for in-depth study as well as establishing community advisory boards to ensure equitable engagement with members of the affected communities. Future information collection requests will be submitted under this umbrella package as the specific research questions, designs, and protocols for each of the three in-depth evaluations are finalized.
