    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Consistent with the Financial Assistance for Supportive 
Services Act (38 U.S.C. 2044), the purpose of the Supportive Services 
for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program is to provide supportive services 
grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives 
who will coordinate or provide supportive services to very low- income 
veteran families who are residing in permanent housing, are homeless 
and scheduled to become residents of permanent housing within a 
specified time period, or after exiting permanent housing, are seeking 
other housing that is responsive to such very low-income veteran family 
needs and preferences. The following VA forms are included in this 
collection: 1. Application for Supportive Services Grants, VA Form 10-
10072; 2. Participant Satisfaction Survey, VA Form 10-10072a; 3. 
Quarterly Grantee Performance Report, VA Form 10-10072b; and 4. Renewal 
Application, VA Form 10-10072c. The information collected will be used 
by the SSVF Program Office to determine the allocation of grant funds 
under the SSVF Program. This collection has a reduction in the number 
of responses and burden hours because the SSVF Program no longer 
requires a pre-service survey, but SSVF will continue to administer an 
exit Participant Satisfaction Survey.
