A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HOME Investment Partnerships 
Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0171.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of Approved Collection.
    Form Number: HUD Form 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 Program Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). 
The information on program funds committed and disbursed is used by HUD 
to track PJ performance and to determine compliance with HOME 
regulations. The project-specific property, tenant, owner, and 
financial data is used to compile annual reports to Congress required 
at Section 284(b) of the HOME Investment Partnerships Act, as well as 
to make program management decisions about how well program 
participants are achieving the statutory objectives of the HOME 
Program. Program management reports are generated by IDIS to provide 
data on the status of program participants' 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 (Sec.  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 (Sec.  92.351(b)). Financial, project, 
tenant and owner documentation is used to determine compliance with 
HOME Program cost limits (Section 212(e) of the Act), eligible 
activities (Sec.  92.205), and eligible costs (Sec.  92.206), as well 
as to determine whether program participants are achieving the income 
targeting and affordability requirements of the Act (Sections 214 and 
215). Other information collected under Subpart H (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 (Sec.  92.504) and 
tenant protections (Sec.  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.
