extension to a currently approved information collection for the
Evaluation of FUP. The approved instruments, supporting statements, and
attachments are available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202009-0970-004">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202009-0970-004</a>. No changes are proposed.

understanding of how housing can serve as a platform for improving
quality of life.
