SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

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: Renewal.
    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 Capacity 
Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Program 
(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 may appropriate 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 25 eligible grantees for the FY2020 allocation 
and allocation percentages. For each subsequent appropriation that 
makes funds available for RHP, HUD determines the number of eligible 
grantees and allocation percentages based on the published formula. 
Section 8071 of the SUPPORT Act 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 the Act 
or modified by waivers and alternative requirements.
    Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (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 Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and 
Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 119-4, approved March 15, 2025), 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-42, approved 
March 9, 2024), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public 
Law 117-328, approved December 29, 2022). HUD makes these competitive 
funds available through the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 
process. 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) program was authorized by the Full-Year 
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Pub. L. 119-4, 
approved March 15, 2025), Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. 
L. 118-42, approved March 9, 2024), and the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328, approved December 29, 2022). HUD makes 
these competitive funds available through the NOFO process. The 
competition invites eligible applicants, including 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: 2,354.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 42,890.
