  1. Documenting the National Objective

  2. LMI BenefitTwo Methods • Direct count based on client records • Housing • Job Creation such as EIP, etc. • Limited Clientele for Buildings for Community Services • Health Centers, Senior Centers, etc. • Area Benefit • Public Infrastructure and other Area Benefit projects December 11-13, 2013

  3. Limited Clientele Benefit (LMC) • Some clientele can be assumed to be LMI • Only need a count of the # of people • Assumed LMI (Not for Area benefit) • Elderly • Severely Disabled • Homeless • Battered or Abused Men, Women or Children • Migrant Workers • Persons living with AIDS • Illiterate December 11-13, 2013

  4. Limited Clientele • If clients are not assumed to be LMI (e.g., Health facility clientele, etc.) the documentation of the number of persons to benefit must include family size and income data December 11-13, 2013

  5. Area Benefit • Area Benefit • Water and sewer • Streets and drainage, etc. • Count everyone in area to benefit • All residents on street • Separate areas…one very low income area can not qualify a non-low and moderate income area even if overall benefit exceeds 70% minimum December 11-13, 2013

  6. Area Surveys • Accurate if done properly • 100% vs. Sample Survey • Guidebook is available (Appendix C) • Two Important Considerations • Who to Survey or Selecting the “Sample” • How to Survey or Implementation Considerations December 11-13, 2013

  7. Area Surveys • Prefer 100% survey for a small area • Large area may require a sample survey • Water Storage Facility • Treatment Facility • The goal of a sample survey is to be able to make an accurate inference about a population based on a survey of a smaller or sample group • Can be accurate if done properly December 11-13, 2013

  8. Area Surveys • Sample Standards • Must be large enough based on population • Table 2 (Page 6 of Guide) gives required minimum sample size based on population or “universe” • Example: • 100 to 115 households requires a sample of at least 90 households • 651 to 1,200 households requires a minimum sample of 300 households December 11-13, 2013

  9. Documentation of BenefitArea Surveys • Must be a systematic and random selection of families to be surveyed so that each family has an equal chance of being selected • Going door-to-door until you accumulate enough surveys to meet the minimum sample size is not random. • Guide provides more information of random selection methods December 11-13, 2013

  10. DCA Form 6 • Must describe detail on how the information was determined (survey methodology) December 11-13, 2013

  11. DCA Form 6 • If a survey (100% or random) is used, DCA-6 must include: • Description of how the # of households was determined • Description of how sample was selected • Describe a random sample method (if applicable) • See Appendix C for guidance • Description of how the survey was conducted (Who and When) • Provide a copy of the actual survey form • A table of the results is helpful • Prior to funding decisions we may ask for copies of all surveys completed • Must keep all information for DCA review December 11-13, 2013

  12. DCA Form 6 - continued • Basic data that must be included on DCA-6: • # of households in area • # of households interviewed • # of LMI households interviewed • # of people living in LMI households • # of above LMI households interviewed • # of people living in above LMI households • Remember to use the LMI worksheet (Appendix C) for sample sizes of less than 100 percent. December 11-13, 2013

  13. For community-wide projects: HUD Website for LMI estimates for all cities and counties. http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/systems/census/ga/index.cfm December 11-13, 2013
