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: Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting
System (DRGR).
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0165.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
The Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) System is a grants
management system used by the Office of Community Planning and
Development to monitor special appropriation grants under the Community
Development Block Grant program. This collection pertains to Community
Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), Community
Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT), Community Development
Block Grant National Disaster Resilience Competition (CDBG-NDR),
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), Rural Capacity Building
(RCB), Section 4, Recovery Housing Program (RHP), Pathways to Removing
Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing), and Preservation and Reinvestment
Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) grant funds.
The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major
disasters, Congress appropriates supplemental CDBG funds for disaster
recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, HUD is responsible for reviewing grantees'
compliance with applicable requirements and their continuing capacity
to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made available to states
and units of general local government, Indian tribes, and insular
areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental appropriations
statute, based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established for
the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from
foreclosures and property abandonment. Authorized under section 1497 of
the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111-203, approved July 21, 2010) (``NSP3''), NSP3 Technical Assistance
(TA) provides $20 million to organizations that are experienced and
successful in providing program, technical, planning, financial, and
organizational capacity building assistance, or consulting in such
areas as community development, affordable housing, organizational
management, financing and underwriting, construction and rehabilitation
management, land banking, project management and strategic planning.
Through the funding of national organizations with expertise in
rural housing and community development, the Rural Capacity Building
(RCB) and Section 4 programs enhance the capacity and ability of local
governments, Indian tribes, housing development organizations, rural
Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and rural Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDOs), to carry out community development
and affordable housing activities that benefit low-and moderate-income
families and persons in rural areas.
The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) was authorized under section
8071 of the Support for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act. HUD
published its formula in the Federal Register on April 17, 2019 (84 FR
16027), identifying the 35 eligible grantees and allocation
percentages. Section 8071 of the SUPPORT Act (Section 8071) required
funds appropriated or made available for the RHP be treated as CDBG
funds under title I of the Housing and Community Act of 1974, unless
otherwise provided in Section 8071 or modified by waivers and
alternative requirements.
PRO Housing is a competitive grant program for the identification
and removal of barriers to affordable housing production and
preservation. PRO Housing was authorized by the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42, approved March 9, 2024), and
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328, approved
December 29, 2022). HUD makes these competitive funds available through
the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) process [OMB Approval Number
2506-0220]. The competition invites States, local governments,
metropolitan planning organizations, and multijurisdictional entities
to apply for funds for eligible activities that develop, evaluate, and
implement housing policy plans, improve housing strategies, and
facilitate affordable housing production and preservation.
The ``Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community
Enhancement'' (PRICE) was authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42, approved March 9, 2024), and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328, approved
December 29, 2022). To date, $225 million has been allocated for PRICE
grants to preserve and revitalize manufactured housing and eligible
manufactured housing communities. HUD makes these competitive funds
available through the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) process. The
competition invites State, Tribal, and Local governments, as well as
non-profit entities, cooperatives, and Community Development Finance
Institutions to apply for funds for eligible activities that facilitate
manufactured housing preservation and revitalization.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,393.
Estimated Number of Responses: 49,568.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Average Hours per Response: Varies.
