A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: Capital Advance Section 811 Grant Application for Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities.

OMB Approval Number: 2502-0462.

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a discontinued collection with change.

Form Number: HUD-92016-CA, HUD-92041, HUD-92042, HUD-92043, HUD-2880, HUD-2991, HUD-2530, HUD 424-B Standard grant forms: SF-424, SF-LLL.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This collection was discontinued in 2015 due to no funding being appropriated since 2011. The program received new funding in 2018 and 2019, and there was an attempt to reinstate the collection, but the process was not completed. With renewed funding for Fiscal Year 2022 and anticipated funding in the future, the Office of Asset Management and Portfolio Oversight (OAMPO) is submitting this request again. The information requested is necessary to the Department to assist HUD in determining applicant eligibility and ability to develop and operate, through the project owner, housing for persons with disabilities within statutory and program criteria. The program also provides project rental subsidies in the form of a Project Rental Assistance Contract (“PRAC”) to maintain ongoing affordability over the next forty years. A thorough evaluation of an applicant's submission is necessary to protect the government's financial interest.
