SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: 2024
Rental Housing Finance Survey.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0276.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS)
provides a measure of financial,
mortgage, and property characteristics
of rental housing properties in the
United States. RHFS focuses on
mortgage financing of rental housing
properties, with emphasis on new
originations for purchase-money
mortgages and refinancing, and the
characteristics of these new
originations.
The RHFS will collect data on
property values of residential structures,
characteristics of residential structures,
rental status and rental value of units
within the residential structures,
commercial use of space within
residential structures, property
management status, ownership status, a
detailed assessment of mortgage
financing, and benefits received from
Federal, state, local, and nongovernmental programs.
Many of the questions are the same or
similar to those found on the 1995
Property Owners and Managers Survey,
the rental housing portion of the 2001
Residential Finance Survey, and
previous collections of the Rental
Housing Finance Survey. This survey
does not duplicate work done in other
existent HUD surveys or studies that
deal with rental units financing.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and Congressional staff
can use the survey’s results to advise
executive and legislative branches about
the mortgage finance characteristics of
the rental housing stock in the United
States and the suitability of public
policy initiatives. Academic researchers
and private organizations will also
utilize the data to facilitate their
research and projects.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) needs the
RHFS data for the following two
reasons:
1. This is the only source of
information on the rental housing
finance characteristics of rental
properties.
2. HUD needs this information to gain
a better understanding of the mortgage
finance characteristics of the rental
housing stock in the United States to
evaluate, monitor, and design HUD
programs.
Members of affected public: Owners
and managers of rental properties.
Estimated number of respondents:
10,000.
Estimated time per response: 60
minutes.
Frequency of response: One time
every three years
Estimated total annual burden hours:
10,000.
Estimated total annual cost: The only
cost to respondents is that of their time.
Respondent’s obligation: Voluntary.
Legal authority: This survey is
conducted under Title 13, U.S.C.,
Section 8b and Title 12, U.S.C., Section
1701z–1 et seq.
