Title of Proposal: Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program Registration. Description of the need for the information proposed: This submission is to request a reinstatement with revisions of an expired information collection for the reporting burden associated with registration requirements that Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (CoC) program lead agencies will be expected to complete. This submission is limited to the reporting burden under the CoC program, formerly including the Supportive Housing Program, the Shelter Plus Care program, and the Section 8 and Single Room Occupancy Program, and changed to match the new inclusive program name created through the HEARTH Act.
Agency Form Numbers:
Members of the affected public: CoC Lead Agency representatives.
Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:
The CoC Registration will be completed by all 450 Continuums of Care and will require approximately one hour to complete. The registration will occur once per year prior to the release of the annual CoC Notice of Funding Availability. The total number of hours needed for all reporting per year is 450 hours.
Status of proposed information collection: Reinstatement, with change, of previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
Authority:
