A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) 
Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0178.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Agency Form Numbers: HUD-52650, HUD-52651, HUD-52652, HUD-50058,

    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
FSS program, which was established in the National Affordable Housing 
Act of 1990, promotes the development of local strategies that 
coordinate the use of public housing assistance and assistance under 
the Section 8 rental certificate and voucher programs (now known as the 
Housing Choice Voucher Program) with public and private resources to 
enable eligible families to increase earned income and financial 
literacy, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make 
progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. Public 
Housing Agencies consult with local officials to develop an Action 
Plan, enter into a Contract of Participation with each eligible family 
that opts to participate in the program, compute an escrow credit for 
the family, report annually to HUD on implementation of the FSS 
program, and complete a funding application for the salary of an FSS 
program coordinator.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Public Housing Agencies, 
Tribes/Tribally Designated Housing Entities, State or Local 
Governments.
