A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Proposal: HOPE VI Implementation and HOPE VI Main Street
Programs.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0208.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-52825-A, HUD-52861, HUD-53001-A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Section 24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as added by Section 535 of
the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-
276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998) and revised by the HOPE
VI Program Reauthorization and Small Community Main Street Rejuvenation
and Housing Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-186, 117 Stat. 2685, approved
December 16, 2003), established the HOPE VI program for the purpose of
making assistance available on a competitive basis to public housing
agencies (PHAs) to improve the living environment for public housing
residents of severely distressed public housing projects (or portions
thereof); and, beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, to rejuvenate the
traditional or historic downtown areas of smaller units of local
government. Funds were appropriated for competitive HOPE VI
Implementation Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) through Fiscal
Year 2011.
Remaining HOPE VI Implementation grants account for most of the
burden. However, HOPE VI funds are no longer being appropriated. HOPE
VI Main Street funds are being funded through the Choice Neighborhoods
Initiative appropriations. Currently, there are approximately 35 HOPE
VI Implementation grants that remain active and must be monitored by
HUD. HUD publishes competitive bi-annual NOFAs for the HOPE VI Main
Street program and monitors grants that have been awarded through those
NOFAs. These information collections are required in connection with
the monitoring of the remaining active HOPE VI Implementation grants
and the bi-annual publication on <a href="http://www.grants.gov">http://www.grants.gov</a> of HOPE VI Main
Street NOFAs, contingent upon available funding and authorization,
which announce the availability of funds provided in annual
appropriations for Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
Eligible units of local government interested in obtaining HOPE VI
Main Street grants are required to submit applications to HUD, as
explained in each NOFA. The information collection conducted in the
applications enables HUD to conduct a comprehensive, merit-based
selection process in order to identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUD-prescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient
[[Page 30254]]
information to approve or disapprove applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI Implementations grants are
required to report on a quarterly basis on their Implementation grant
revitalization activities. HOPE VI Implementation grantees do this by
sending emails to the HUD grant managers. HUD reviews and evaluates the
collected information and uses it as a primary tool with which to
monitor the status of HOPE VI projects and programs.
Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, Units of Local
Government.
