OMB Approval Number: 2577–0259.
Type of Request: Reinstatement to discontinue the collection.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The reinstatement of this previously approved PRA collection for which approval has expired is required in order to withdraw this PRA. The information collection required for the Family Unification Program (described below) is now covered under OMB# 2577–0169. The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program, authorized under section 8(x) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437(X), that provides housing choice vouchers to PHAs to assist families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family's child or children in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from out-of-home care. Youths at least 18 years old and not more than 21 years old (have not reached 22nd birthday) who left foster care at age 16 or older and who do not have adequate housing are also eligible to receive housing assistance under the FUP. As required by statute, a FUP voucher issued to such a youth may only be used to provide housing assistance for the youth for a maximum of 18 months. Vouchers awarded under FUP are administered by PHAs under HUD's regulations for the Housing Choice Voucher program (24 CFR part 982).
Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
