A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HOPE VI Implementation and HOPE VI 
Main Street Programs: Funding and Program Data Collection.
    OMB Approved Number: 2577-0208.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection.
    Form Number: 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 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. The program 
title has changed from ``HOPE VI Application'' to ``HOPE VI and HOPE VI 
Main Street Program,'' to better describe this collection. The 
remaining HOPE VI Implementation grants account for most of the burden. 
However, HOPE VI funds are no longer being appropriated. HOPE VI Main 
Street funds are being funded through the Choice Neighborhoods 
Initiative appropriations.
    Collections in support of the HOPE VI Implementation NOFAs, which 
ended in 2011, are being deleted from this ICR, which include forms 
HUD-52860-A, HUD-52774, HUD-52780, HUD-52785, HUD-52787, HUD-52790, 
HUD-52797, HUD-52798, HUD-52799, HUD-52800, SF-424, SF-LLL, HUD-2880, 
HUD-96010, HUD-96011 and HUD-52861. The total burden is decreasing from 
26,516 hours to 3,980 hours and the cost is decreasing from 
$1,156,305.00 to $226,860.
    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 the 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.
