SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program—Grant Application, Survey and Report (VA Forms 10-10072, 10-10072a, 10-10072b and 10-10072c).

OMB Control Number: 2900-0757. https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRASearch.

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. 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 89 FR 89717, November 13, 2024.
