Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Public Housing—Contracting with ResidentOwned Businesses. OMB Control Number: 2577–0161. Type of Request: Extension of previously approved collection. Form Number: N/A. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: PHAs that entered into contracts with resident-owned businesses prior to December 26, 2014, must comply with the requirements/procedures set forth in, 24 CFR 85.36(h), and 24 CFR 85.36(i). Contracts with resident-owned businesses entered into after December 26, 2014, must comply with 24 CFR part 963, 2 CFR 200.325, and 2 CFR 200.326 and other such contract terms that may be applicable to the procurement under the Department’s regulations. These requirements include: • Certified copies of any State, county, or municipal licenses that may be required of the business to engage in the type of business activity for which it was formed. Where applicable, the PHA must obtain a certified copy of its corporate charter or other organizational document that verifies that the business was properly formed in accordance with State law; • Certification that shows the business is owned by residents, disclosure documents that indicate all owners of the business and each owner’s percentage of the business along with sufficient evidence sufficient that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the PHA that the business has the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed contract; • Certification as to the number of contracts awarded, and the dollar amount of each contract award received, under the alternative procurement process; and • Contract award documents, proof of bonding documents, independent cost estimates and comparable price analyses. Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, and Applicable Resident Entrepreneurs.

This number is less than the previous request due to several PHAs choosing to leave the program, but the Department anticipates there may have been more business or contracting opportunities particularly during the pandemic.
