information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on April 18, 2018
at 83 FR 17186.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Congregate Housing Services Program.
OMB Approved Number: 2502–0485.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: SF–424, 425, HUD–
90003, HUD–90006, HUD–90198, HUD–
91180–A, HUD–91178–A.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use:
Completion of the Annual Report by
grantees provides HUD with essential
information about whom the grant is
serving and what sort of services the
beneficiaries receive using grant funds.
The Summary Budget and the Annual
Program Budget make up the budget of
the grantee’s annual extension request.
Together the forms provide itemized
expenses for anticipated program costs
and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs.
The budget forms show the services
funded through the grant and
demonstrate how matching funds,
participant fees, and grant funds will be
used in tandem to operate the grant
program. Field staff approve the annual
budget and request annual extension
funds according to the budget. Field
staff can also determine if grantees are
meeting statutory and regulatory
requirements through the evaluation of
this budget.
HUD will use the Payment Voucher to
monitor use of grant funds for eligible
activities over the term of the grant. The
Grantee may similarly use the Payment
Voucher to track and record their
requests for payment reimbursement for
grant-funded activities.
Respondents: (i.e., affected public):
Non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
49.
Estimated Number of Responses: 392.
Frequency of Response: 8.
Average Hours per Response: 1.56.
Total Estimated Burdens: 611.52.

Demonstration and Impact Evaluation
collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0293.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) is conducting a
national study on the effectiveness of
pre-purchase homeownership
counseling services. This request covers
four data collection activities: (1)
Administering a final follow-up survey
to study participants; (2) extending
OMB approval #2528–0293 so that the
study can continue to collect updated
tracking information from study
participants; and (3) extending OMB
approval #2528–0293 so that the study
can continue to collect consent from the
co-borrowers of study participants; and
(4) extending OMB approval #2528–
0293 so that the study can continue to
collect loan origination and servicing
data from lenders. The final follow-up
survey will be administered to study
participants approximately 48 months
after they completed the baseline
survey. The final survey will provide a
comparison of study participants’
characteristics from the baseline survey
and allow the study to better
understand, document, and explain the
impacts of first-time homebuyer
education and counseling. As part of
OMB approval #2528–0293, the study
collects updated study participant
contact information to locate study
participants for the final follow-up
survey. Maintaining contact with study
participants over time is critical to
minimizing attrition and ensuring high
response rates to the follow-up surveys.
Additionally, the collection of consent

from study participants’ co-borrowers is
necessary to allow the study to collect
data related to the characteristics and
performance of study participants’
mortgage loans. Lastly, as part of OMB
approval #2528–0293, the study collects
study participants’ loan origination and
service tracking data from the study’s
three participating lenders.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): Up
to 5,854 study participants;
approximately 1,000 co-borrowers; and,
staff at 3 lenders.
The average time per study
participant (up to 5,854 study
participants) to complete the final
follow-up survey is 30 minutes. The

study mails study participant tracking
letters twice per year. The average time
for study participants’ review of the
letters and return of the tracking form is

co-borrower consent form in the study’s
regular tracking letters, along with a
request for the co-borrower to review,
sign, and return the written consent
form. For co-borrowers who do not
return the written form, the study will
collect consent verbally at the time of
the interim survey. The study estimates
that approximately 1,000 study
participants will have co-borrowers. The

consent information and completion of
the consent process is estimated to
require approximately 5 minutes per coborrower. The average time for lenders
to prepare study participants’ loan
origination and performance data for the
study team is 60 minutes. The study
team will ask for this data semiannually from each lender during the
next 3 years from each lender. The total
burden for the study is 3,949.64 hours:
3,903 hours for study participants, 83
hours for co-borrowers, and 6 hours for
lenders.
