1.2 Background

The AHS is designed to provide current information o the size and composition of the housing inventory, the characteristics of its occupants, changes in the inventory resulting from new construction, indicators of housing and neighborhood quality, and the characteristics of recent movers.

Housing insecurity is defined as a significant lapse for a given household of one or more elements of secure housing. The key elements include affordability, stable occupancy, and whether the housing is decent and safe.

“Affordability” implies that shelter costs are manageable over the long term without severely burdening or compromising other consumption that normally is essential for health and well-being. "Stable occupancy” implies that the household does not face substantial risk of involuntary displacement for economic or non-economic reasons. “Decent and safe” implies that a unit has physical attributes that satisfy functional needs for well-being related to health, security, and support for the activities of daily living. Such attributes include appropriate facilities for excluding external threats, providing climate control, storing and preparing food, maintaining physical and mental hygiene, and developing human potential. Not included are aspects of the neighborhood or environment that one encounters beyond the confines of the structure or property.

Researchers, policymakers, program leaders, and practitioners widely use the concept of housing insecurity, yet it has not been defined or measured consistently in research literature. The lack of a comprehensive consensus measure makes it impossible to track prevalence of housing insecurity from year to year and to examine the correlation of housing insecurity with health, education, employment, and criminal justice outcomes. No comprehensive transferable instrument currently exists for measuring housing insecurity in national surveys.

In 2017, PD&R at HUD identified the development of a housing insecurity module in the AHS as a research priority.1 The Housing Insecurity Research Module (HIRM), which was collected as a opt-in follow-on survey to the 2019 AHS, was developed to provide data on multiple dimensions of housing insecurity that could be used in the development of housing insecurity indices.2 HUD funded research on the prior Housing Insecurity Research

Support Contract to develop housing insecurity indexes with the 2019 AHS data and to inform decisions on a reduced set of housing insecurity questions to be asked in the 2023 AHS.

The deliverables below must be in compliance with the following Editorial Standards

5.2 Generate an Updated Literature Review on Housing Insecurity

5.6 Produce Interim Report

5.7 Generate Final Report

b. Editorial Standards for Written Reports/Briefs:

Editorial Standards for Written Reports/Briefs to be provided under this contract:

Editorial Standards: The Contractor shall be responsible for creating publications for HUD and the public in a clear and accessible manner to both technical and non-technical audiences. Reports shall be stand-alone documents that provide an overview of the subject, a summary of the research questions, and the data collection and analysis activities that were undertaken to address the research question or questions covered in each report.

The reports are expected to be of publishable quality, and HUD intends to publish several of these reports on www.huduser.gov.

The Contractor shall not be required to modify or eliminate independent opinions, judgments, conclusions, or views. Where the Contractor’s views do not coincide with HUD’s views, the Contractor shall be required to

SECTION C – PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT Housing Insecurity Research Support for the AHS

Policy Development and Research (PD&R) 86614624Q00001 clearly label such independent views. HUD may require language inserts to label such independent views. If there is disagreement regarding the adequacy of the data, methodology, calculations, analyses, or other technical elements of the work used to support the independent views of the Contractor, HUD may require the insertion of a clearly labeled HUD dissent (or dissents) in the text of the final approved version of a report. Disapproved reports shall be resubmitted for review following correction of the cited deficiency. The complete text of an approved report shall be submitted in accordance with the instructions provided in PD&Rs "Guidelines of Preparing a

Report for Publication” that can be found at the following link: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/About/style-guide-for-reports.pdf.

The Contractor shall use the following disclaimer for each report required in this contract:

“The contents of this report are the views of the Contractor and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the U.S. Government.”

Contractors are responsible for ensuring that all final written publications submitted to HUD are accessible to persons with disabilities by ensuring all written materials comply with federal accessibility standards (Section 508

- www.section508.gov). Federal law requires all web-based publications be accessible to people with disabilities, including those with vision impairments. Before delivering electronic reports, contractors shall ensure that all elements of the report are Section 508 compliant. 508 compliance requires alternative text (alt text) for all images, graphs, photos, headers of charts/tables (but not for the data), maps as well as native files for these items. Alt text can be composed as a separate Word file, but it is preferable and best to include the alt text throughout the report’s final draft.

In addition to including alt text, contractors shall do the following to ensure 508 compliance:

1. Do not include any merged cells in tables. All tables should have content in each cell.

2. No empty paragraph marks should remain in the document. Use the standard spacing that is applied when using the correct font styles in Word.

3. Only use colors that pass the color contrast analyzer.

4. Use the font styles correctly in the template. This ensures only one H1 tag is used in the publication title on the front page.

5. All endnotes converted to footnotes.

6. Enter in the document title in the title field under File > Info > Properties.

Contractors may not publish reports based on these tasks or otherwise disclose the contents of reports prepared under this contract to the public for 3 months following the formal submission of a report, unless the COR has provided the Contractor with written permission. After the 3-month period, the Contractor who wishes to publish shall include a clear notice that the research was performed under a contract with the Office of Policy

Development & Research, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Although these reports will have been prepared with HUD funds, the Contractor may copyright the layout and design (but not the substantive language, which remains in the public domain).
