SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HOME Investment Partnerships
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0171.
Type of Request: Revision of Approved Collection.
Form Number: SF 1199A, HUD 27055.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD's Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR 92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). The project-specific property,
tenant, owner, and financial data is used to compile annual reports to
Congress required at Section 284(b) of Title II of the Cranston-
Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12721 et
seq.) (the Act) as well as to make program management decisions about
how well PJs are achieving the statutory objectives of the HOME
Program. Program management reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of PJs' HOME grants and projects including the
commitment and disbursement of HOME funds. These reports are provided
to HUD staff as well as to HOME PJs.
Management reports required in conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (24 CFR 92.509) are used by HUD Field Offices to
assess the effectiveness of locally designed programs in meeting
specific statutory requirements and by Headquarters in preparing the
Annual Report to Congress. Specifically, these reports permit HUD to
determine compliance with the requirement that PJs provide a 25 percent
match for HOME funds expended during the Federal fiscal year (Section
220 of the Act) and that program income be used for HOME eligible
activities (Section 219 of the Act), as well as the Women and Minority
Business Enterprise requirements (24 CFR 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation are used to
determine compliance with HOME Program cost limits (Section 212(e) of
the Act), eligible activities (24 CFR 92.205), and eligible costs (24
CFR 92.206), as well as to determine whether PJs are complying with the
income targeting and affordability requirements of the Act (Sections
214 and 215 of the Act). Other information collected under Subpart H of
Part 92 (Other Federal Requirements) is primarily intended for local
program management and is only viewed by HUD during routine monitoring
visits. The written agreement with the owner for long-term obligation
(24 CFR 92.504) and tenant protections (24 CFR 92.253) are required to
ensure that the property owner complies with these important elements
of the HOME Program and are also reviewed by HUD during monitoring
visits. HUD reviews all other data collection requirements during
monitoring to assure compliance with the requirements of the Act and
other related laws and authorities.
HUD tracks PJ performance and compliance with the requirements of
24 CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the required information in the
execution of their program, and to gauge their own performance in
relation to stated goals.
HUD is revising its existing HOME Program PRA to reflect additional
funding appropriated for the HOME program under the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) (ARP). ARP provides $5 billion to
assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of
homelessness, and in other vulnerable populations by providing
affordable rental housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and
non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing
stability across the country. These additional grant funds are known as
HOME-American Rescue Plan or HOME-ARP. Usage of these additional grant
funds will increase the reporting burden hours for participating
jurisdictions. This burden includes collecting new and/or additional
information related for new activities funded with HOME-ARP that serve
individuals or families who are homeless, as defined in section 103(a)
of the McKinney-Veto Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); at
risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Veto
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)); fleeing or attempting to
flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or
human trafficking; in other populations where providing supportive
services or assistance under section 212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C.
12742(a)) would prevent the family's homelessness or would serve those
with the greatest risk of housing instability. This burden includes
making the information available to HUD for monitoring the performance
of participating jurisdictions and ensuring compliance with the HOME-
ARP implementing notice (the ``HOME-ARP Notice'') and applicable HOME
program requirements in 24 CFR part 92.
Respondents: State and local government PJs and consortia,
including insular areas.
