A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: HOPE VI Implementation and HOPE VI
Main Street Programs.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0208.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously
approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD-52825-A, HUD-52861, and HUD-53001-A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Section 24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as added by section 535 of
the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-
276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998) and revised by the HOPE
VI Program Reauthorization and Small Community Main Street Rejuvenation
and Housing Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-186, 117 Stat. 2685, approved
December 16, 2003), established the HOPE VI program for the purpose of
making assistance available on a competitive basis to public housing
agencies (PHAs) in improving the living environment for public housing
residents of severely distressed public housing projects through the
demolition, rehabilitation, reconfiguration, or replacement of

[[Page 38163]]

severely distressed public housing projects (or portions thereof); and,
beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, in rejuvenating the traditional or
historic downtown areas of smaller units of local government. Funds
were appropriated for competitive HOPE VI Implementation Notices of
Funding Availability (NOFAs) through Fiscal Year 2011. Currently, there
are approximately 55 HOPE VI Implementation grants that remain active
and must be monitored by HUD. HUD publishes competitive bi-annual NOFAs
for the HOPE VI Main Street program and monitors grants that have been
awarded through those NOFAs.
These information collections are required in connection with the
monitoring of the remaining active HOPE VI Implementation grants and
the bi-annual publication on http://www.grants.gov of HOPE VI Main
Street NOFAs, contingent upon available funding and authorization,
which announce the availability of funds provided in annual
appropriations for Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
Eligible units of local government interested in obtaining HOPE VI
Main Street grants are required to submit applications to HUD, as
explained in each NOFA. The information collection conducted in the
applications enables HUD to conduct a comprehensive, merit-based
selection process in order to identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUD-prescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient information to approve or
disapprove applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI Implementation grants are
required to report on a quarterly basis on the sources and uses of all
amounts expended for Implementation grant revitalization activities.
HOPE VI Implementation grantees use a fully-automated, internet-based
process for the submission of quarterly reporting information. HUD
reviews and evaluates the collected information and uses it as a
primary tool with which to monitor the status of HOPE VI projects and
the HOPE VI programs.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): Public Housing Agencies and
units of local governments.
