This Notice also lists the following information: Title of Proposal: HUD Housing Counseling Program—Agency Performance Review. OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502–0574. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The Single Family Program Support Division is responsible for administration of the Department’s Housing Counseling Program, authorized by Section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701w and 1701x). The Housing Counseling Program supports the delivery of a wide variety of housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, low- to moderate-income renters, and the homeless. The primary objectives of the program are to expand homeownership opportunities, preserve homeownership, and improve access to affordable housing. These services are provided by non-profit and government organizations. Their counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals improve their housing conditions and meet the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. Counselors also help borrowers avoid predatory lending practices, such as inflated appraisals, unreasonably high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms, and other conditions that can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default, and foreclosure. PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24041 To participate in HUD’s Housing Counseling program, a housing counseling agency must be approved by HUD (2502–0261), designated as a sub grantee or affiliate of a HUD-approved intermediary or multi-state organization, or be a state housing finance agency or affiliate or sub grantee of a state housing finance agency. Participation in the program entails meeting various requirements relating to experience and capacity, including nonprofit status, a minimum of one year of housing counseling experience in the target community, and sufficient resources to implement a housing counseling plan. In order to maintain approval to participate, housing counseling agencies must remain in compliance with program policies and regulations. Participating organizations are required to submit to HUD Quarterly 9902 progress reports (2502–0261) to report on the demographics, education, and outcomes of clients served. HUD periodically conducts performance reviews of participating agencies to ensure that agencies are in compliance with the program policy and regulations governing the program. Housing Counseling Program requirements are set forth in 24 CFR 214, Housing Counseling Program, Revision-5 of Housing Counseling Program Handbook 7610.1, mortgagee letters, and grant agreements (if applicable). Findings from performance reviews are used to renew or disapprove the status of housing counseling agencies to participate in the program. The information is also used to assist HUD in evaluating the managerial and financial capacity of organizations to sustain operations sufficient to implement HUD approved housing counseling programs. The collection of information assists HUD to reduce its own risk from fraudulent activities or supporting inefficient or ineffective housing counseling programs. Since HUD publishes a web list of HUD approved Housing Counseling Agencies and maintains a toll free housing counseling hotline, performance reviews help HUD ensure that individuals seeking assistance from these participating agencies can have confidence in the quality of services that they will receive. Additionally, performance review findings are used as past performance indicators in the grant application review scoring process. Performance reviews also give HUD the opportunity to provide technical assistance to participating housing counseling agencies. HUD employees use Agency Performance Review, Form HUD 9910 to perform and document on-site, desk, E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
