SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
ADDRESSES:
A. Overview of Information Collection
[Docket No. FR–7040–N–03; OMB Control
No. 2577–0192]
SUMMARY:
requesting comment from all interested
parties on the proposed collection of
information. The purpose of this notice
is to allow for 60 days of public
comment.
Title of Information Collection:
Requirements for Designating Housing
Projects.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0192.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collection burden
associated with designated housing is
required by statute. Section 10 of the
Housing Opportunity and Extension Act
of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937 to require Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit a
plan for HUD approval before a
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
project(s) can be designated as either
elderly only, disabled only, or elderly
and disabled. In this plan, PHAs must
document why the designation is
needed and provide the following
information:
1. Description of the designated
housing plan;
2. Justification for the designation;
3. Availability of alternative housing
resources for the non-designated
population(s);
4. Impact on the availability of
accessible housing;
5. A statement that existing tenants in
good standing will not be evicted;
6. A statement of the resources that
will be made available if the PHA offers
voluntary relocation benefits; and
7. Information describing how the
DHP is consistent with any outstanding
court orders, lawsuits, investigations,
Voluntary Compliance Agreements
(VCAs), Conciliation Agreements, or
Letters of Findings or Determinations,
etc., including for example, actions
under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,
the Age Discrimination Act, the Fair
Housing Act, or the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
State, or Local Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18.
Estimated Number of Responses: 1.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
Average Hours per Response: 15
hours.
Total Estimated Burdens: 270 hours.
The previous estimation of 585
annual burden hours has been reduced
to 270. This change is based on the
average number of Plans submitted
between Calendar Years 2017, 2018 and
2019. HUD expects that the number of
respondents will continue to decline
because of the trend in Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) repositioning their
developments and moving out of the
public housing program.
The national average PHA staff salary
= $51,000 1 per year or $24.00 per hour.
The calculation for costs is as follows:
18 PHAs × 15 hours = 270 hours × $24 2
= $6,480.

entered into an interagency
collaboration that combines DOJ’s
mission to promote safer communities
by focusing on the reentry population
with HUD’s mission to end chronic
homelessness. This collaboration
resulted in the HUD–DOJ Pay for
Success Permanent Supportive Housing
Demonstration with $8.68M awarded to
seven communities to develop
supportive housing for persons cycling
between the jail or prison systems and
the homeless service systems using pay
for success (PFS) as a funding
mechanism. HUD announced seven
grantees from across the country in June
2016. As of August 2020, six grantee
communities remain. The PFS
Demonstration grant supports activities
throughout the PFS lifecycle, including
feasibility analysis, transaction
structuring, and outcome evaluation and
success payments, with each grantee
receiving funds for different stages in
the PFS lifecycle. Through the national
evaluation, which is funded through an
interagency agreement between HUD
and DOJ and managed by HUD’s Office
of Policy Development and Research,
HUD–DOJ seek to assess whether PFS is
a viable model for scaling supportive
housing to improve outcomes for a reentry population. The main goal of the
evaluation is to learn how the PFS
model is implemented in diverse
settings with different structures,
populations, and community contexts.
The Urban Institute has been
conducting a multi-disciplinary, multimethod approach to ‘‘learn as we do’’
and meet the key objectives of the
formative evaluation. To understand
project implementation, the evaluation
includes data collection on both the
time that project partners dedicate to
each PFS project as well as PFS partner
perceptions and interactions and
community-level changes that may
benefit the target population. This
information collection request is for an
ongoing time survey and an annual
partnership web survey. The time
survey will be used to assess staff time
spent on development of each PFS
project throughout the different lifecycle
phases and the partnership survey will
be used to document partner
perceptions and interactions and
community-level changes that may
benefit the target population.
