A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless 
Assistance Grant Application.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0112.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: NA.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
submission is to request an extension of an existing collection in use 
without an OMB Control Number for the Recordkeeping for HUD's Continuum 
of Care Program. The CoC application has three parts: The CoC 
application, CoC Priority Listing that lists all project applications 
with a rank number determined by CoCs in their local competition 
process, and project applications. HUD requires the submission of CoC 
applications from Collaborative Applicants to capture information 
related to the CoC's overall performance toward addressing homelessness 
(e.g., reducing the number of homelessness, increasing income), 
coordination with other federal and non-federal partners, planning 
process (e.g., reducing homelessness, length of time homeless), and 
other criteria required by the statute and current Administration 
policies. The information provided in CoC applications is reviewed and 
scored by HUD to determine the order in which HUD will select projects 
based on the ranking communicated in the CoC Priority Listing. The CoC 
Priority Listing collection notifies HUD if CoCs are reallocating 
current projects to create new projects and most importantly, to rank 
project applications with a unique number for funding consideration by 
HUD and determines the order in which projects are selected in order of 
each CoC. Project applications collect information for eligibility and 
quality threshold review to determine suitability for funding 
consideration. Successful project applications selected for award 
receiving funding to carry out the activities approved by HUD. The 
statutory and regulatory requirements related to the CoC Program and 
applicable supplementary documents are located on the CoC Program page 
on HUD's website.
