Title of Proposal: Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program Grant Application-Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program Application.
Description of the Need for the Information and Its Proposed Use: This submission is to request a new collection for the reporting burden associated with application requirements that Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program (RHSP) applicants will be expected to complete.
This submission is limited to the reporting burden under the RHSP program, created through the HEARTH Act. To see the regulations for the new RHSP program and applicable supplementary documents, visit HUD's Homeless Resource Exchange page at http://www.hudhre.info/. The statutory provisions and the implementing regulations that govern the program require new application requirements.
Agency Form Numbers: None.
Members of the affected public: RHSP applicant 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 RHSP Application will be completed by many of the HUD identified 230 rural counties and will require approximately 141 hours to complete. The application process will occur once per year after the release of the annual RHSP notice of funding availability. The total number of hours needed for all reporting per year is 32,319 hours.
Status of proposed information collection: New Collection for the implementation of a related (to the former CoC-based programs) but new program created under the HEARTH Act.
Authority:
Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
