Title of Proposal: HEARTH Continuum of Care Program Application.
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. To see the regulations for the new CoC program and applicable supplementary documents, visit HUD's Homeless Resource Exchange ESG page at http://www.hudhre.info/esg/ . The statutory provisions and the implementing interim regulations that govern the program require new registration requirements.
Agency Form Numbers:
Members of the affected public: State and local governments, public housing authorities, and nonprofit organziations.
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 Application will be completed by all 450 Continuum's of Care, as well as 7,559 project applicants, and will require approximately 314,000 hours to complete. The application process will occur once per year after the release of the annual CoC Notice of Funding Availability.
Status of proposed information collection: Reinstatement, with change, of previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
Authority:
Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: May 2, 2012.
