A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Multifamily Family Self-
Sufficiency Program Escrow Credit Data.
    OMB Approval Number: Pending.
    Type of Request: This is a new collection.
    Form Number: Sample attached: Sample MF FSS Reporting Tool
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    Multifamily Family Self-Sufficiency (MF FSS) is a HUD program that 
enables families living in multifamily assisted housing to increase 
their earned income and reduce their dependence on public assistance 
programs. MF FSS promotes the development of local strategies to 
coordinate the use of HUD rental assistance programs with public and 
private resources, to enable eligible families to achieve economic 
independence and self-sufficiency.
    HUD's Appropriations Act of 2015 allows owners of privately owned 
multifamily properties with a Section 8 contract to voluntarily make a 
Family Self-Sufficiency program available to assisted tenants in 
accordance with procedures established by the Secretary, including 
those procedures permitting tenants to accrue escrow funds in 
accordance with section 23(d)(2) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. 
Owners of privately-owned HUD assisted multifamily housing can 
voluntarily establish and operate a MF FSS program at their housing 
sites. Participation in the MF FSS program is voluntary for families 
living in these properties.
    FSS families are referred to services and educational opportunities 
that can lead to improved employment and earned income. Such services 
might include child care, transportation, education, job training, 
employment counseling, financial literacy, and homeownership 
counseling.
    Families entering the FSS program work with a case manager to 
develop goals that will lead to self-sufficiency within a 5-year 
period. These goals may include education, specialized training, and 
job readiness, placement, and career advancement activities. Families 
sign a five year contract of participation (CoP) with the owner. Goals 
for each participating family member are set out in Individual Training 
and Services plans (ITSP) that are part of the CoP. When the family 
meets its goals and completes its FSS contract, the family becomes 
eligible to receive funds deposited in an escrow account.
    The owner establishes an interest-bearing escrow account for each 
participating family. If a family's earned income and rental payments 
increase as a result of participation in the FSS, the owner will credit 
the incremental earned income amount to the family's escrow account. 
Once a family successfully graduates from the program, they may access 
the escrow funds and use them for any purpose.

voluntarily establish and operate a MF FSS program at their housing 
sites.
