A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Proposal: Public/Private Partnerships for the Mixed-
Finance Development of Public Housing Unit.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0275.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 195-276, 
approved October 21, 1998), also known as the Public Housing Reform 
Act, created Section 35 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. 
1437. Section 35 allows PHAs to own, operate, assist or otherwise 
participate in the development and operation of mixed-finance projects. 
Mixed-finance development refers to the development or rehabilitation 
of public housing, where the public housing units are owned in whole or 
in part by an entity other than a PHA. Prior to this, all public 
housing had to be developed and owned by a Public Housing Authority 
(PHA). However, Section 35 allowed PHAs to provide Section 9 capital 
and operating assistance to mixed-finance projects, which are also 
financially assisted by private and other resources. Private and other 
resources include tax credit equity, private mortgages and other 
federal, state or local funds. Section 35 also allows non-PHA owner 
entities to own and operate mixed-finance projects that contain both 
public housing and non-public housing units, or only public housing 
units. Along with public housing unit development, mixed-finance real 
estate development or rehabilitation transactions are used to extend 
public housing appropriations in housing development and to develop 
mixed-income housing, where public housing residents are anonymously 
mixed in with affordable and market rate housing residents.
    In order to approve the development of mixed-finance projects, HUD 
collects certain information from each PHA/Ownership Entity. Under 
current regulations, HUD collects and reviews the essential documents 
included in this ICR in order to determine whether or not approval 
should be given. After approval is given and the documents are recorded 
by the associated county, HUD collects the recorded versions of the 
documents in this ICR, along with all financing and legal agreements 
that the PHA/owner entity has with HUD and with third-parties in 
connection with that mixed-finance project. This includes unique legal 
documents along with standardized forms and ``Certifications and 
Assurances,'' which are not exempted under PRA. Regulations for the 
processing of mixed-finance public housing projects are at 24 CFR part 
905 subpart F (Sec.  905). Sec.  905 has replaced 24 CFR part 941 
Subpart F, which was cited in the supporting statement for the previous 
OMB approval of this information collection. This information is 
collected to ensure that the mixed-finance development effort has 
sufficient funds to reach completion, remain financially viable, and 
follow HUD legal and programmatic guidelines for housing project 
development or rehabilitation, ownership and use restrictions, as well 
as preserving HUD's rights to the project.
    PHAs must provide information to HUD before a proposal can be 
approved for mixed-finance development. Information on HUD-prescribed 
forms and in HUD-prescribed contracts and agreements provides HUD with 
sufficient information to enable a determination that funds should or 
should not be reserved or a contractual commitment made. Regulations at 
24 CFR part 905.606, ``Development Proposal'' states that a Mixed-
finance Development Proposal (Proposal) must be submitted to HUD in 
order to facilitate approval of the development of public housing. The 
subpart also lists the information that is required in the Proposal. 
The documentation required is submitted using the collection documents 
(ICs) in this ICR.
    Agency form numbers: HUD-50156, HUD-50157, HUD-50158, HUD-50159, 
HUD-50160 and HUD-50161.
    Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies, Developers.
