Department of Housing and Urban Development April 11, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal. The survey will gather information on the organizational characteristics of all HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, including the type of services they provide, number and characteristics of their staff, size of their budget for counseling services and sources of funds, the characteristics of their counseling service delivery process and opinions regarding key policy issues facing the industry. This survey is part of a broader study to help inform HUD's efforts to support the housing counseling industry by providing more systematic information and it will lay the groundwork for an impact evaluation of pre-purchase housing counseling.
