Development’s (HUD) Section 108
program is the loan guarantee provision
of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program. It provides an
upfront source of community and
economic development financing,
allowing an entitlement grantee to
borrow up to five times its annual
approved CDBG entitlement amount.
Grantees address housing, community
development, and economic
development needs of low- and
moderate-income persons and
communities. The Section 108 loan
guarantee program facilitates the
financing of physical and economic
revitalization projects—such as
neighborhood commercial centers, small
business incubators, industrial park
rehabilitation, affordable housing
activities, or office center construction—
that have the potential for renewing
neighborhoods or providing affordable
housing to low- and moderate-income
persons. HUD acts as the guarantor of a
Section 108 loan made from privatemarket funds, promising investors that
the loan will be repaid.
The survey is an essential part of a
comprehensive evaluation of the
Section 108 program, addressed to
questions and concerns raised in a
recent PART review of the Section 108
program by OMB. In addition to
documenting the types of projects
funded through Section 108 loans in
recent years (FY 2002–FY 2007), the
study will develop data from
administrative loan files, selected site
visits, and a survey of local
administrators of all Section 108 loans
for the FY 2002–FY 2007 period. The
survey will confirm and extend the
initial project descriptions found in the
administrative files to permit more
extensive analysis of the characteristics
and progress of the activities funded by
these loans. This study will increase
understanding of the role of the Section
108 program in the community and
economic development strategies of
local governments, seek to identify the
consequences of Section 108 projects,
and identify ways to improve the
measurement of the performance of
Section 108 loans.
Members of affected public: Local
administrators of Section 108 loans
made in FY 2002 to FY 2007, involving
a total of approximately 320 loans.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection, including the number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The researchers will
survey the universe of local
administrators of the roughly 320
Section 108 loans approved between FY
2002 and FY 2007. The surveys are

collection: Pending OMB approval.

financing. A nonprofit organization
must be HUD-approved and meet
