Systems of Records Published Between January 2, 2018 and December 31, 2019

HUD/Understanding Rapid Re-housing

Unclassified.

Abt Associates, 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Suite 800 North, Bethesda, MD. A list of additional contractor sites where records under this system are maintained is available upon request to the system manager.

Mindy Ault, Social Science Analyst, Program Evaluation Division, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th St. SW, Room 8120, Washington, DC 20410.

The authority for the collection of the data and the maintenance of this system can be found at Sec. 501, 502, Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91-609), 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1, 1701z-2. One part of HUD’s established mission and responsibilities is to monitor family housing conditions and options. To evaluate the effectiveness of the programs that affect the conditions and options, HUD needs to collect participant data over time which includes the necessary contact and tracking information.

This system is meant to provide HUD with a more in-depth understanding of the efficacy of RRH programs nationwide at both the program and participant levels.

Individuals covered by the system are voluntary participants in HUD-funded rapid re-housing programs and Continuums of Care and rapid re-housing program staff.

The specific types of records collected from study participants and maintained will include: names, birth dates, home addresses, telephone numbers, personal e-mail addresses, demographic information, income information, housing history, mental and physical health, and family status information.

This project includes five instruments for data collection: (1) Web Census for CoCs and Rapid Re-Housing Programs, (2) Interview Guide for Rapid Re-Housing Programs, (3) Rapid Re-housing Participant Interview Guide, (4) Rapid Re-housing Participant Follow-up Interview Guide, and (5) Quarterly Household Tracking Guide for Ethnographic Panel. Of these, the first two are program-level data collections and as such will include minimal personally identifiable information (PII), including only the name and contact information for the CoC Collaborative Applicant and RRH program staff person completing the survey. The Rapid Re-Housing Participant Interview Guide, Rapid Re-housing Participant Follow-up Interview Guide, and Quarterly Household Tracking Guide will collect information from participants via interview questions asked in person and recorded for this study. This information will be collected after obtaining written consent regarding participation and will be de-identified in the report. All of the data collection records containing PII will be destroyed at the end of the study period.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. Section 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside HUD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:

To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons for disclosures compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I—HUD’s Routine Use Inventory Notice, 80 Fed. Reg. 81837 (December 31, 2015).

1. To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the General Services Administration for records having enough historical or other value to warrant continued preservation by the United States Government, or for inspection under Title 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

2. To a congressional office from the record of an individual, in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of that individual.

3. To contractors performing or working under a contract with HUD, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records. Disclosure requirements are limited to only those data elements considered relevant to accomplishing an agency function. Individuals provided information under these routine use conditions are subject to Privacy Act requirements and disclosure limitations imposed on the Department.

4. To the Department of Justice (DOJ) when seeking legal advice for a HUD initiative or in response to DOJ’s request for the information, after either HUD or DOJ determine that such information relates to DOJ’s representation of the United States or any other components in legal proceedings before a court or adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency also determines prior to disclosure that disclosure of the records to DOJ is a use of the information in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records. HUD on its own may disclose records in this system of records in legal proceedings before a court or administrative body after determining that the disclosure of the records to the court or administrative body is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records.

5. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, Federal agencies, and non-Federal entities including but not limited to state and local governments, with whom HUD has a contract, service agreement, grant, or cooperative agreement for statistical analysis to advance the goals of the nation’s federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness. The records may not be used to make decisions concerning the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals, or providers of services with respect to a homeless individual’s efforts.

6. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised; (b) HUD has determined that, as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

Abt has implemented full disk encryption (FIPS 140-2 compliant) software in our environment to protect the storage of data, as well as a file transfer application (also FIPS 140-2 compliant), Huddle, for the secure, encrypted transmission of sensitive data such as PII and PHI to and from our clients and subcontractors. Huddle offers secure content collaboration to share data and is FedRAMP certified. Huddle encrypts data in-transit using TLS (128-bit or 256-bit encryption) and at rest with 256-bit AES.

Abt has also implemented anti-malware software in its environment and updates definitions daily on each workstation. For boundary protection, Abt has implemented Cisco ASA Firewalls.

Hard copy notes and other materials that are collected as part of the ethnographic work in Task 8 will be securely stored in locked file cabinets when not in use.

During the course of the study, program-level records may be retrieved by program name or assigned unique identifier; participant-level records may be retrieved by assigned unique identifier.

Abt Associates will retain all data collected over the life of the study and any analysis files generated with those data under conditions specified in the study protocol. At the end of the contract, Abt will destroy all PII per the contract terms. The retention and disposal procedures are in keeping with HUD’s records management policies as described in 44 USC 3101 and 44 USC 3303. Abt Associates will submit all de-identified data to HUD at the end of the contract. The retention and disposal procedures are in keeping with HUD’s records management policies as described in 44 USC 3101 and 44 USC 3303. Study participant PII to be retained for the length of the study (and then destroyed at the end of the contract period, in October 2019) includes the following:

•Name

•Birth date

•Home address

•Telephone number

•Personal e-mail address

The retention and disposal procedures are in keeping with HUD’s records management policies as described in section below:

2225.6 REV-1, Appendix 67, Records Disposition Schedule 67 PD & R, Item No. 5

Disposition:

Project case files reflecting a complete history of each project from initiation through research, development, design, testing, and demonstration will be retired to a Federal Records Center three years after satisfactory close of the project. Files will be destroyed six years after satisfactory close of the project (NARA Job NCl-207-78-6, Item 5). https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=22256x67ADMH.pdf

The contractor, Abt Associates, has a dedicated Analytic Computing Environment (ACE3) for storing ONLY sensitive information such as PII and PHI. Only authorized personnel can access this environment through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Authentication to the system is done via Active Directory and DUO multi-factor authentication. Users connect to the system via remote desktop sessions (RDS). ACE3 is FISMA and FIPS 140-2 compliant.

To ensure data privacy and security, the Abt Confirmit Horizons web survey platform that will be used for the CoC and RRH program web survey allows for tight control over sampling, respondent recruitment, and data acquisition while addressing both data security and confidentiality concerns. Confirmit invests considerable time updating the software to ensure it has the latest technologies to boost security, performance, and reliability. Respondents will access the RRH web survey through Abt’s web site, where they are protected by Abt’s strict data security system. HTTPS is enforced for transmission of all Confirmit Horizons credentials by Abt at the user level. All user accounts are named users linked to individual email addresses except for a translation account with extremely limited rights that is provided by the software vendor. Strong password policies are enforced, including minimum length, mixed case, special characters, and a password expiry after a set number of days. A password history is also kept to prevent passwords from being continuously reused. Accounts are locked by the system after 5 consecutive failed login attempts. Upon entering the 7-digit PIN assigned by the software, the respondent moves to a non-public directory inaccessible through the Internet.

As data are entered, they are stored on a second non-public directory accessible only to the Abt system administrator. Partial responses are saved in this way. Once respondents finish the census and press the "Submit" button on the screen, the ID number used to access the survey becomes invalid and the instrument cannot be accessed again with that number. The SQL server databases that store respondent/response data are behind the firewall and data can only be accessed through the Horizons application by our named users. No application users can access the database directly, the servers are only accessible by our database administrators. Confirmit surveys are stateless and session-less. No user identifiable information is required when transmitting information between page submissions. A combination of hidden form fields and system generated identifiers can identify a respondent and the correct state when moving from page to page. Pages use metadata code to prevent them from being cached, and no information is stored on a respondent’s computer when the browser is closed.

Abt takes every precaution to ensure that data collected on the Internet remain both secure and confidential. All Abt data collection servers are housed in an AT&T Network Operations Center (NOC) with redundant power, expandable bandwidth, and a high level of physical security. All study staff are required to sign a confidentiality pledge stating that no data will be released to unauthorized personnel. In addition, all electronic data for the study are stored on the ACE3 system (described above).

Abt complies with the Privacy Act of 1974, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and the E-Government Act of 2002, including Title III: Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), which covers site security, security control documentation, access control, change management, incident response, and risk management. Abt has implemented full disk encryption (FIPS 140-2 compliant) software in its environment to protect the storage of data, as well as a file transfer application (also FIPS 140-2 compliant), Huddle, for the secure, encrypted transmission of sensitive data such as PII and PHI to and from our clients and subcontractors. Huddle offers secure content collaboration to share data and is FedRAMP certified. Huddle encrypts data in-transit using TLS (128-bit or 256-bit encryption) and at rest with 256-bit AES.

Abt has also implemented anti-malware software in its environment and update definitions daily on each workstation. For boundary protection, Abt has implemented Cisco ASA Firewalls.

Hard copy notes and other materials that are collected as part of the ethnographic work in Task 8 will be securely stored in locked file cabinets when not in use.

As an essential part of the Supportive Services Demonstration, Resident Wellness Director and Wellness Nurse teams will conduct a Resident Assessment and use a standardized, third-party web-based platform to capture and store self-reported demographic and health and social status information from demonstration participants, including personally identifying information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).

Use of this platform is essential to the successful implementation of the demonstration because Resident Wellness Directors and Wellness Nurses must be able to adequately assess and track residents' needs, monitor referrals, and ensure access to providers.

The demonstration also requires a web-based platform to support program development and performance monitoring, as well as evaluation efforts. This requires standardized, adaptable, accessible and easy to use web-based platform to administer assessments, securely house and track data, quality assurance measures and outcomes, and produce reports throughout the three-year demonstration period.

Data will be collected from residents who live in 40 HUD-assisted Multifamily housing properties in California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and South Carolina. The vast majority of individuals will be HUD-assisted seniors aged 62 or older.

To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons for disclosures compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I—HUD's Routine Use Inventory Notice, 80 Fed. Reg. 81837 (December 31, 2015).

2. To a congressional office from the record of an individual, in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of that individual.

4. To the Department of Justice (DOJ) when seeking legal advice for a HUD initiative or in response to DOD's request for the information, after either HUD or DOJ determine that such information relates to DOJ' s representation of the United States or any other components in legal proceedings before a court or adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency also determines prior to disclosure that disclosure of the records to DOJ is a .use of the information in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records. HUD on its own may disclose records in this system of records in legal proceedings before a court or administrative body after determining that the disclosure of the records to the court or administrative body is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records.

5. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, Federal agencies, and non-Federal entities including but not limited to state and local governments, with whom I-IUD has a contract, service agreement, grant, or cooperative agreement. The records may not be used to make decisions concerning the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals, or providers of services with respect to a homeless individual's efforts.

6. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised; (b) HUD has determined that, as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

Records are stored on Microsoft Azure secure cloud servers administered by Preferred Population Health Management, LLC (PPHM). All data is stored in a secure datacenter. The primary datacenter is located in Chicago, while the geo-redundant datacenter is in California. The data management at the facility is built with multiple layers of security and follows best practices for securing sensitive data. Any paper-based records (e.g. printed Resident Assessment forms) will be stored in a locked file cabinet, in private offices, at the housing property. Staff will be trained on proper confidentiality and privacy acts prior to enrolling participants.

Records in PHL will be retained throughout the 3-year demonstration period and destroyed at the end of the implementation contract. Prior to destruction of the data, housing property sites will be given an opportunity to continue using PHL outside of the demonstration, with no further involvement from HUD. Many housing providers use similar data platforms to collect resident PII. If housing sites elect to use PHL after the demonstration period, they may do so, but will have to enter in to their own licensing agreements with PHL. Resident Wellness Directors may retain their own records in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Office of Multifamily Housing Management Agent Handbook, which covers the roles and responsibilities of the traditional Service Coordinator Program.

As part of the contract supporting the implementation of the SSD, the implementation contractor is expected to fully cooperate with the evaluation team and share data as necessary. Privacy and security measures governing any data that is transferred to the evaluation contractor will be covered in the evaluation contract and associated SORN.

Records will be retrieved by SSD staff (Resident Wellness Directors and Wellness Nurses) to maintain accuracy of data and to verify various program components. Staff will have unique identifiers which will provide them access to only the participants within their property. PHL user logins are tracked and each login is given a unique session ID. Sessions are marked inactive when users log out of the system.

Records will also be retrieved by HUD funded contractors to monitor program performance and model fidelity for the duration of the demonstration. HUD contractors will have unique identifiers which will provide them access to both property and participant-level records.

Records in PIE, will be retained throughout the three-year demonstration period and destroyed at the end of the implementation contract. Prior to destruction of the data, housing property sites will be given an opportunity to continue using PHL outside of the demonstration, with no further involvement from HUD. If housing sites elect to use PHL after the demonstration period, they may do so, but will have to enter in to their own licensing agreements with PHL. Resident Wellness Directors may retain their own records in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Office of Multifamily Housing Management Agent Handbook, which covers the roles and responsibilities of the traditional Service Coordinator Program.

As part of the contract supporting the implementation of SSD, the implementation contract is expected to fully cooperate with the evaluation team and share data as necessary. Privacy and security measures governing any data that are transferred to the evaluation contractor are covered by the evaluation contract.

The data management at the facility is built with multiple layers of security and follows best practices for securing sensitive data. The main levels of security include: media and server physical security in the data center, data user access controls, and virtual server security. The data center is physically located within a building having limited, electronic passkey access in addition to physical sign in and identification with security staff. Physical access to the data center is limited to data center staff and few key personnel. Physical access requires photo identification, access cards and passwords along with manual sign in and sign out procedures. The data center is monitored on a 24x7 basis. Desktop computers and laptops in offices outside the data center do not store any data. These user end-points are encrypted, password protected, protected by hardware firewalls and antivirus software. Periodic security audits of all computers are performed along with vulnerability audits. Access to the data on the servers that reside inside the datacenter is limited to access through secure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

Access to any server, security, storage, backup, and infrastructure equipment is monitored, restricted to only those with a need-to-have system access, including being secured by administrative password and authentication methods. Data access is limited to data analysts and key members of the IT staff. Prior to receiving PHI access, all staff members will receive HIPAA training and abide by security procedures developed by the management. Each user (e.g., Resident Wellness Directors and Wellness Nurses) are assigned as user type that administrators are able to assign to individual users; users will only have access to the data of the residents they are working with, and no access to data from other sites. PHL also records the user, time, and items clicked on or visited throughout PHL. All staff members are required to sign and abide by data security and privacy agreements required by PHL, as well as HUD policies.

Valuation and Disposition Services (VDS–Best Ex).

Unclassified, non-sensitive, for official use only.

The system is externally hosted and controlled at the contractor’s primary and backup facilities. The VDS primary host server is in Plano, Texas (2300 West Plano Parkway, Plano, TX 75075); the data and statistical modeling is hosted in Roseville, California (2270 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 120, Roseville, CA 95661); Washington, DC (601 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20001); and Herndon, VA (950 Herndon Parkway, Suite 410, Herndon, VA 20170). The backup/disaster recovery facilities for the main data centers are in Quincy, Washington (525 D Street, NW, Quincy, WA 98848).

The VDS–Best Ex outputs will be accessible at workstations located at the following locations: 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410 and at HUD National Servicing Center 301 Northwest 6th Street, Suite 200, Oklahoma City, OK 73102.

Records of system outputs will be maintained at the Department of Housing and Urban Development Headquarters, at 451 Seventh Street, SW, Room 4156, Washington, DC 20410.

Ivery Himes, VDS–Best Ex system owner and Director of the Office of Single Family Asset Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 9178, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.

Section 203, National Housing Act as amended (12 U.S.C. § 1709, subchapter II, §§ 1707 et seq., 1710, 1715u, 1715z-16) enables HUD/FHA to process applications for HUD single family mortgage insurance. Social Security numbers are not collected or maintained in VDS-Best Ex.

VDS–Best Ex will routinely produce property valuations and determine property disposition strategies for the FHA Single Family Forward Mortgage insurance loans over 90 days delinquent and for Secretary-held REO properties.

In operation, the VDS–Best Ex system will be used to:

•Create a point-in-time "value" for the property using an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) suite to finalize and train a customized model that will generate a set of "reserve prices" for each disposition option, with the goal of minimizing the loss to HUD/FHA due to a delinquent property claim.

•Provide a data-based analysis to determine the essential decision factors affecting the projected return of delinquent assets, based on historic FHA data on originations, claims, and servicing actions and costs.

•Compare purchasing offers made for each REO property to ascertain whether to accept a bid, reject a bid, and/or counteroffer based on assessment of the proposed amount, using a valuation that identifies what is the ideal pricing point and discount rate percentages that FHA should consider when selling a property.

•Defaulted Loan Portfolio: Individuals covered by this system are mortgagors with loans insured by HUD/FHA’s single family mortgage insurance programs whose associated loans are over 90 days delinquent.

•Secretary-held Real Estate Owned (REO) Portfolio: Defaulted single family mortgage loans where titles have been deeded to the Secretary of HUD and do not have mortgagor-specific information.

Information provided to the VDS–Best Ex system contains the following categories of records in the system:

Default Loan Portfolio (FHA Mortgagor) Property Characteristic/Attribute Records: FHA Case Number; Property Address, City, State, Zip Code; Endorsement Code; Mortgage Origination, Endorsement, and Default Dates; Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) County Code, FIPS State Code, First-Time Home Buyer Status; Mortgage Loan Amount, Interest Rate, Loan Type (Fixed/ARM); Insurance Status/Rate; Last Payment/Default Date/Unpaid Balance; Due Date of Last Payment + 60 Days; Amortization Begin Date (Calendar Year); Amortization Begin Date (Calendar Quarter); Property Type (Condo/Single Family); Credit Subsidy Cohort; Property Interior/Exterior Features; Default Prosperity Occupancy Status; Loss Mitigation Code Types.

REO Property (HUD-Held/-Owned Properties) Characteristic/Attribute Records: FHA Case Number; Endorsement Code; Property Address, City, State, Zip Code; Mortgage Rate/Loan Type; Mortgage Origination, Endorsement, and Default Dates; Amortization Begin Date (Calendar Year); Amortization Begin Date (Calendar Quarter); FIPS State Code; Property/Claim Type; Property Disposition/Acquisition Date; Loan-to-Value Category (New/Old); Interest Rate; Contract Sales Price; Mortgage Term; Insurance Termination Date; Property Appraisal Estimate; Default Event Codes; Evaluation Codes; Interior Features/External type; Property List Dates; Transactional Records; Conveyed Damaged Indicators.

Records are transmitted to VDS–Best Ex from the HUD-owned source systems, which obtain records from FHA-approved mortgagees and third-party providers, mortgagors, taxing authorities, insurance companies, and housing counselors as a case flows through the case life cycle from underwriting and counseling, endorsement, loan servicing, loss mitigation, loan termination, and property disposition.

•FHA single family insured mortgage loans over 90-days delinquent is linked to HUD’s Single Family Default Monitoring System (SFDMS) data collection requirements.

•Secretary-held Single Family REO properties is linked to HUD’s Single Family Asset Management System (SAMS) data collection requirements.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. Section 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information in this system may be disclosed to authorized entities, as determined to be relevant and necessary, outside the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3):

/AHFDC.01 Freedom of Information Act, Privacy Act, and Administrative Appeals Request Files.

The system is physically located at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Executive Secretariat, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington DC 20410; at the service providers under contract with HUD, and at HUD regional and field offices where, in some cases, FOIA and Privacy Act records may be maintained or accessed.

This system encompasses all individuals who submit FOIA and/or Privacy Act requests or administrative appeals to the Department. Other individuals covered by the system include HUD staff assigned to process a request and staff that may have responsive records or are mentioned in such records. Note: FOIA requests are subject to the Privacy Act only to the extent that the information pertains to personal information concerning an individual (i.e., only the information that is personal about the individual who is the subject of the record is subject to the Privacy Act). Information pertaining to corporations, businesses, and organizations are not subject to the Privacy Act.

Records in this system may include information about the handling of FOIA and Privacy Act requests and administrative appeals. The information maintained by the system may include: (1) Records received, copied, created, or compiled during the search and processing of initial requests and administrative appeals; (2) fee schedules, cost calculations, and costs assessed for processing FOIA requests (disclosed FOIA records – cost can be incurred even for records that are not provided to requesters); (3) appeals, intra-agency or interagency memorandums, and correspondence with the requesters or entities who submitted the requests and appeals; (4) the Department’s responses and transferals to HUD regional/field offices or other agencies; (5) copies of records disclosed or withheld; (6) requesters’ names, organizations, titles, addresses, emails, telephone numbers, fax numbers, Social Security numbers (which may be submitted with documentation or as proof of identification when requesting access to Privacy Act records); (7) information compiled on and about the parties who made written requests or appeals, including individuals on whose behalf such written requests or appeals were made; (8) FOIA tracking numbers; (9) descriptions of the types of requests or appeals, and dates the requests or appeals were received by the Department; (10) statuses of Department responses (i.e., the offices to which the requests were assigned, the dates by which responses to assigned request are due, the current dispositions of the requests); (11) and may include the requester’s original Privacy Act/FOIA requests. The system also includes information on the Department personnel involved in the processing of FOIA and/or Privacy Act requests and appeals (e.g., FOIA staff and/or Privacy Act staff, appeals officials, and members of the Office of General Counsel staff) who respond to requests or appeals and process any final dispositions. The system also covers records related to requests for OGIS assistance.

Freedom of Information Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C 552; Privacy Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a.

The purpose of the information maintained by the system is to allow the Department to effectively monitor and track FOIA and Privacy Act requests, and administrative appeals received or issued by the Department. The information gathered by the system is used by the Department to satisfy its annual reporting obligations under the FOIA, manage FOIA-related fees and calculations, and respond to FOIA and Privacy Act requests and appeals.

Records from this system may be disclosed for routine uses to:

1. A congressional office from the record of an individual, in response to a verified inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that individual.

2. The Department of Justice for the purpose of obtaining advice regarding whether or not the records should be disclosed, when applicable.

3. Student volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other individuals performing functions for the Department, but technically not having the status of agency employees, if they need access to the records in order to perform their assigned agency functions.

4. Contractors, grantees, experts, consultants and their agents, or others performing or working under a contract, service, grant, or cooperative agreement with HUD, when necessary to accomplish the agency function related to a system of records.

Individuals provided information under this routine use conditions are subject to the Privacy Act requirements and disclosure limitations imposed on the Department.

5. Appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I, HUD’s Routine Use Inventory notice published in the Federal Register.

6. The National Archives and Records Administration, OGIS, to the extent necessary to allow OGIS to fulfill its responsibilities under 5 U.S.C. § 552(h) to review administrative agency policies, procedures, and compliance with the FOIA, and to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between persons making FOIA requests and administrative agencies.

7. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

(a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

(b) HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and

(c) The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

Storage:

The originals, or a copy, of the incoming requests and the written responses are maintained in case file folders and stored in metal file cabinets. Cross-reference data is maintained electronically and on CD-ROM.

Electronic and paper records are almost always retrieved by the name of the individual who made the request, the FOIA control number, or the subject of the request.

(1) Access Safeguards: Record access is restricted to FOIA and Privacy Act staff, involved program officials, appeals officials, and Office of General Counsel staff involved in the processing of such requests; (2) Physical Safeguards: Case file folders are stored in file cabinets located in secure areas that are either occupied by staff involved in processing FOIA and Privacy Act requests and administrative appeals or locked up during nonworking hours or whenever staff is not present in these areas, and entrance to the buildings where case files are maintained is controlled by security guards; (3) Logical Access: Records in the system are maintained in a secure area with access restricted to authorized personnel, security and hardware storage of backup material (e.g., disk, tape, CD-ROM) are secured in accordance with HUD-wide guidance for handling and securing information systems and cross-reference data is maintained electronically and access to the records is granted by User ID and password; and (4) Procedural Safeguards: Access to the systems records is limited to those staff members who are familiar with FOIA- and Privacy Act-related requests and who have a need to know. System managers are held responsible for safeguarding the records that are under their control.

Computer and paper records will be maintained and disposed of in accordance with published NARA Transmittal No. 22, General Records Schedule 14, "Information Services Records".

Mortgagors with HUD/FHA insured single-family mortgages that are delinquent or in default; mortgagors seeking assistance to prevent foreclosures; and mortgagors whose mortgages are held by HUD.

Records in this system consist of the following information which is provided to HUD by mortgage servicing entities that include: Mortgage loan origination information and servicing histories, loss mitigation and payment histories, notices of delinquent mortgages, FHA case numbers, current unpaid principal balance, current scheduled principal and interest payment, current interest rate, day month and year through which the mortgage is paid, date of last payment, amount of last payment, payments in last 12 months, escrow balance, mortgage rate, origination date, original balance, first payment date, maturity date, original term, remaining months to maturity, payment frequency, date of last modification, manner in which title held, subordinate liens and lien priority, original appraised value, original loan to value ratio, borrower credit scores and date of credit report, borrowers' current income, mortgage debt to income ratios, borrower employment status, date foreclosure initiated, borrower bankruptcies, date loan referred for foreclosure, date of complaint or petition for foreclosure, date of foreclosure sales, deeds of trust; and related correspondence. In addition, records in the system will include loan payment performance information and information pertaining to the history of the servicing of the loan, which include the number of default episodes, the length of the between loan origination and the first default episode, and information pertaining to prior loan modifications files.

The authority for maintenance of the system: Sec. 204(g) of the National Housing Act 12 U.S.C. 1710(g).

The Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") Loan Sale File is used to make financial information available to prospective investors purchasing defaulted FHA-insured loans. The FHA insures mortgages on single-family homes and pays insurance claims to lenders upon the mortgagor's default. After paying an insurance claim submitted by a lender on a defaulted mortgage loan, the FHA must utilize various disposition strategies to reduce claim costs and maximize recoveries to the mortgage insurance funds. One such disposition strategy is the FHA Loan Sale Program, which offers pools of defaulted single-family loan for competitive bid at auction. Investors purchase the loans based on their determination of potential returns following acquisition. In order to maximize recovery to FHA and enable prospective purchasers to calculate pricing, FHA makes due diligence information available to prospective bidders. This information consists of detailed loan-level information, which is reviewed by bidders to evaluate investment potential. The availability of this due diligence information enhances pricing, improves returns, reduces claim costs and maximizes recovery to the FHA insurance funds.

Storage:

Access to the systems is by user ID and password. Roles in the systems limit the user’s access once in the system. Hardcopy records are kept in a locked cabinet.

Computerized and hard copy records are retrieved by the individual’s name or Social Security Number. Hardcopy records are kept in a locked cabinet.

Access to the system is safeguarded by a user ID and password and is restricted to employees who have a need to access the system in the performance of their duties. Within the system the user’s roles determine their access to records. Hardcopy records are kept in a locked cabinet.

All pay and leave records are maintained until employees are separated from HUD and are then retired or transferred to a new employing agency or destroyed in conformance with appropriate General Services Administration retirement and/or destruction Schedules such as the General Records Schedules 2 (GRS 2) in the following manner:

• For Payroll and Leave Records--OCHCO maintains and disposes of these records in accordance with General Records Schedule 2 (GRS 2) issued by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Under the GRS 2, records are retained for various periods. Generally, the records are kept from 1 to 6 years, depending on the type of record involved.

• For Garnishment and Levy of Wages Records--OCHCO retains these records until the expiration of the garnishment or levy order or until the employee leaves, whichever comes first. In some instances that are related to a garnishment or levy order, the information is destroyed 3 years after the termination of the garnishment or levy order.

The disposal of the paper documents, records, and files is by shredding. Backup and Recovery digital media will be destroyed or otherwise rendered irrecoverable per NIST SP 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization" (September 2006). This complies with all Federal regulations. There are no hardcopy records produced that require additional archival.

Data covered by this system are maintained at the following locations: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Security and Emergency Planning (OSEP), 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410. Some data covered by this system is at HUD Regional and Field Office locations, both Federal buildings and Federally-leased space, where staffed guard stations have been established in facilities that have installed the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) system, as well as the physical security office(s) or computer security offices of those locations.

Most identity records are not classified. However, in some cases, records of a few individuals, or portions of some records, may potentially be classified in the interest of national security.

Individuals (employees or contractors) who require regular, ongoing access to agency facilities, information technology systems, or information classified in the interest of national security, including applicants for employment or contracts, Federal employees, contractors, students, interns, volunteers, affiliates, and individuals formerly in any of these positions. The system also includes individuals authorized to perform or use services provided in HUD facilities (e.g., Credit Union, Fitness Center, etc.). The system does not apply to occasional visitors or short-term guests to whom HUD will issue temporary identification and credentials.

Records maintained on individuals issued credentials by HUD include the following data fields: Full name, Social Security number; date of birth; signature; image (photograph); fingerprints; hair color; eye color; height; weight; organization/office of assignment; company name (for contractors); telephone number; copy of background investigation form (Standard Form 85 or 85P or 86); PIV card issue and expiration dates; personal identification number (PIN) for the PIV Card; results of background investigation; PIV request form; PIV registrar approval signature; PIV card serial number; emergency responder designation; copies of documents used to verify identification or information derived from those documents (such as document title, document issuing authority, document number, document expiration date, document other information); level of national security clearance and expiration date; computer system user name; user access and permission rights, authentication certificates; and digital signature information.

The primary purposes of the system of records are: (a) To ensure the safety and security of HUD facilities, systems, or information, and our occupants and users; (b) to verify that all persons entering Federal facilities or using Federal information resources are authorized to do so; (c) to track and control PIV cards issued to persons entering and exiting the facilities, or using information systems.

Information about covered individuals may be disclosed without consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), and:

(1) To the Department of Justice when:

(a) The agency or any component thereof; or

(b) Any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity;

(c) Any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity where agency or the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee; or

(2) To a court or adjudicative body in a proceeding when:

(b) Any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity;

(c) Any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity where agency or the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee; or

(d) The United States Government, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and by careful review, the agency determines that the records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use of such records is therefore deemed by the agency to be for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected the records.

(3) Except as noted on Forms SF 85, 85-P, and 86, when a record on its face, or in conjunction with other records, indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, disclosure may be made to the appropriate public authority, whether Federal, foreign, State, local, or tribal, or otherwise, responsible for enforcing, investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, or rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto, if the information disclosed is relevant to any enforcement, regulatory, investigative or prosecutorial responsibility of the receiving entity.

(4) To a Member of Congress or to a Congressional staff member in response to an inquiry of the Congressional office made at the written request of the constituent about whom the record is maintained.

(5) To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the General Services Administration for records management inspections conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

(6) To HUD contractors, grantees, or volunteers who have been engaged to assist the agency in the performance of a contract service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other activity related to this system of records and who need to have access to the records in order to perform their activity. Recipients shall be required to comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a.

(7) To a Federal, State, local, foreign, or tribal or other public authority the fact that this system of records contains information relevant to the retention of an employee, the retention of a security clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or retention of a license, grant, or other benefit. The other agency or licensing organization may then make a request supported by the written consent of the individual for the entire record if it so chooses. No disclosure will be made unless the information has been determined to be sufficiently reliable to support a referral to another office within the agency or to another Federal agency for criminal, civil, administrative personnel or regulatory action.

(8) To the Office of Management and Budget when necessary to the review of private relief legislation pursuant to OMB Circular No. A- 19.

(9) To a Federal, State, or local agency, or other appropriate entities or individuals, or through established liaison channels to selected foreign governments, in order to enable an intelligence agency to carry out its responsibilities under the National Security Act of 1947 as amended, the CIA Act of 1949 as amended, Executive Order 12333 or any successor order, applicable national security directives, or classified implementing procedures approved by the Attorney General and promulgated pursuant to such statutes, orders or directives.

(10) To notify another Federal agency when, or verify whether, a PIV card is no longer valid.

(11) To the news media or the general public, factual information the disclosure of which would be in the public interest and which would not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, consistent with Freedom of Information Act standards.

Storage:

Records are stored in electronic media and in paper files. Paper files are kept in file folders or card files. Automated records are maintained in HUD's Security Control Access Tracking System (SCATS), and the DSX card access control system for HUD Headquarters.

Records are retrievable by last name, Social Security number, other ID number, PIV card serial number, image (photograph), or fingerprint.

Paper records are kept in locked cabinets in secure facilities. Access to them is restricted to individuals whose role requires use of the records. The computer servers in which records are stored are located in facilities that are secured by alarm systems and off-master key access. The computer servers themselves are password-protected. Access to individuals working at guard stations is password-protected; each person granted access to the system at guard stations must be individually authorized to use the system. A Privacy Act Warning Notice appears on the monitor screen when records containing information on individuals are first displayed. Data exchanged between the servers and the client PCs at the guard stations and badging office will be encrypted when HUD upgrades to a PIV-II compliant system in 2007. Backup tapes are stored in a locked and controlled room in a secure, off-site location.

An audit trail is maintained and reviewed periodically to identify unauthorized access. Persons given roles in the PIV process must complete training specific to their roles to ensure they are knowledgeable about how to protect individually identifiable information.

Records relating to persons' access covered by this system are retained in accordance with HUD Handbook 2228.2, General Records Schedule 18, Item 17, approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

/OGC.CAGC.01 Office General Counsel Electronic Discovery Management System. (OGC-EDMS)

The EDMS application will be stored on servers located at 4701 Forbes Boulevard, Lanham, MD 20706. Custodian data to be retrieved is stored on servers and HUD workstations located throughout the country.[4]

[4] http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=append2.pdf

OGC-EDMS provides OGC with a method to initiate, track, and manage the collection, organization, and production of paper and electronic documents for discovery requests, such as litigation hold memoranda, E-Discovery certifications, electronically stored information (ESI) search requests, closure letters, and any other documents and data relevant to the discovery process requiring analysis, review, redaction, and production to respond to litigation discovery requirements. The purpose of this system is to assist HUD to collect electronically stored information and data of any individual who is, or will be, in litigation with HUD, as well as the attorneys representing the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) in response to claims by employees, former employees, and other individuals; to assist in the settlement of claims against the government; to represent HUD during litigation, and to maintain internal statistics. A new software component is being added to HUD's EDMS process that will streamline the collection, storage, and analysis of case data to be responsive to requests to HUD.

On December 1, 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to create and clarify responsibility for preserving and accessing ESI. The obligation to preserve ESI, as well as paper records, begins when an individual "reasonably anticipates" litigation and concludes that the evidence may be relevant to such future litigation. Once an individual "reasonably anticipates" litigation, he/she must suspend any document alteration or destruction to ensure the preservation of relevant documents and electronically stored information, including emails.

EDMS and its various capabilities will allow OGC to streamline and automate the document and data reviews it conducts, allow the attorneys to analyze the information in different formats, conduct the analysis in bulk more efficiently, and protect unwarranted disclosure of information by flagging files that contain information therein that is protected from disclosure.

The federal regulation(s)/statute(s) that gives OGC the authority to collect and store this information is Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 16(b) which allows the court to establish rules around disclosure, privilege, methods and work product prior to electronic discovery commencing. In this context, disclosure is the collection of data. Other relevant regulations surrounding the collection and management of electronic discovery are FRCP 26(b)(2), 26(b)(5)(B), 26(f), 33(d), 34(a), 34(b), 37(f), and 45.

Categories of individuals covered by this system include: (1) all persons subject to a litigation hold due to a "reasonable anticipation of litigation" as determined by HUD's OGC; (2) all persons deemed a participant of past or present litigation, investigations, or arbitration where HUD is involved; and (3) specified individuals impacted by FOIA requests, litigation, and other cases in HUD.

A wide variety of individuals are covered by the system including: individuals who either file administrative complaints with HUD or are the subject of administrative complaints initiated by HUD; individuals who are named parties in cases in which HUD believes it will or may become involved; individuals involved in matters within the jurisdiction of HUD either as plaintiffs or as defendants in both civil and criminal matters; witnesses, and to the extent not covered by any other system, tort and property claimants who have filed claims against the Government; individuals who are the subject of an action requiring approval or action by a HUD official, such as appeals, actions, training, awards, promotions, selections, grievances and delegations, including the OGC attorneys to whom cases are assigned, and attorneys and authorized representatives for whom HUD has received complaints regarding their practices before HUD.

Categories of records in this system include: (1) Custodian name; (2) Custodian work address; (3) Custodian email address; (4) Case Name; (5) Case number; (6) Custodian email data, including messages among other HUD employees and/or personnel of other federal agencies or outside entities, and attachments; (7) Custodian local/shared drive data of information collected or compiled from law enforcement or other agency databases; (8) Spreadsheets including data collections, often including personally identifiable information and sensitive law enforcement data used to track the process or investigations or focus investigative priorities; records relating to litigation by or against the U.S. Government (or litigation in which the U.S. Government is not a party, but has an interest) resulting from questions concerning HUD cases and legal actions that HUD either is involved in or in which it believes it will or may become involved; claims by or against the U.S. Government, other than litigation cases, arising from a transaction with HUD, and documents related thereto, including demographic information, vouchers, witness statements, legal decisions, and related material pertaining to such claims; investigation reports; legal authority; legal opinions and memoranda; criminal actions; criminal conviction records; claims and records regarding discrimination, including employment and sex discrimination; claims and records regarding the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (26 U.S.C. 701); personnel matters; contracts; foreclosures; actions against HUD officials; records relating to requests for HUD records other than requests under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974; testimonies of HUD employees in federal, state, local, or administrative criminal or civil litigation; documentary evidence; supporting documents including the legal and programmatic issues of the case, correspondence, legal opinions and memoranda and related records; security clearance information; any type of legal document, including but not limited to complaints, summaries, affidavits, litigation reports, motions, subpoenas, and any other court filing or administrative filing or evidence; employee and former employee ethics question forms and responses; and court transcripts.

1. To a Congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that Congressional office made at the request of the individual to whom the records pertain;

2. To the National Archives and Records Administration for use in its records management inspections and its role as an Archivist;

3. To the Department of Justice (DOJ) when seeking legal advice for a HUD initiative or in response to DOJ's request for the information, after either HUD or DOJ determine that such information is relevant to DOJ's representatives of the United States or any other component in legal proceedings before a court or adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency also determines prior to disclosure that disclosure of the records to the DOJ is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records. HUD on its own may disclose records in this system of records in legal proceedings before a court or administrative body after determining that the disclosure of the records to the court or administrative body is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which HUD collected the records; or to another agency or to an instrumentality of any governmental jurisdiction within or under the control of the United States for a civil or criminal law enforcement activity if the activity is authorized by law, and if the head of the agency or instrumentality has made a written request to the agency which maintains the record specifying the particular portion desired and the law enforcement activity for which the record is sought;

4. To third parties during the course of a law enforcement investigation to the extent necessary to obtain information pertinent to the investigation;

5. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, and the agents thereof, and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for HUD, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to its system of records. Individuals provided information under this routine use are subject to the same Privacy Act requirements and limitations on disclosure as are applicable to HUD officers and employees;

6. To third parties during the course of a law enforcement investigation to the extent necessary to obtain information pertinent to the investigation, provided disclosure is appropriate to the proper performance of the official duties of the officer making the disclosure;

7. To a court, magistrate, or administrative tribunal in the course of presenting evidence, including disclosures to opposing counsel or witnesses in the course of civil discovery, litigation, or settlement negotiations or in connection with criminal law proceedings or in response to a subpoena;

8. To a grand jury agent pursuant either to a federal or state grand jury subpoena, or to a prosecution request that such record be released for the purpose of its introduction to a grand jury, where the subpoena or request has been specifically approved by a court; and

9. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised; b) HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

Storage:

Data collected by OGC-EDMS is stored electronically in a Storage Area Network/Network Attached. There are no manual records stored or maintained outside the system. Storage is at a secure Lockheed Martin facility, and backed up via an Avamar Backup Storage system.

Records will be retrieved by the (1) Custodian name; (2) Work address; (3) Custodian email address; (4) Case name; (5) Case number; (6) Custodian email data; (7) Custodian local drive data; (8) Custodian home/shared drive data; (9) Litigation hold closures; (10) Litigation hold memoranda; (11) Litigation preservation notices; (12) Litigation hold reminder notices; and (13) ESI identification email notifications. E-Discovery notifications data is only accessed by individually assigned legal counsel on a case by case basis.

Strict controls have been imposed to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this system is limited to those individuals who are authorized to access by appropriate security clearances and user ID/password permissions. Only assigned users with a need-to-know are allowed access, on a case-by-case basis, after going through HUD's background investigation process.

In response to the FRCP 16(b), when litigation is "reasonably anticipated," related electronic data is copied and maintained in a secure server environment separate from HUD's network servers as part of the EDMS.[5] Upon authorization from a HUD Associate General Counsel, Regional Counsel, or other designated official, OGC closes a case.

/HSNG.SF/HUP.01 HUD Certified Housing Counselor and Client Certificate of Housing Counseling Database.

The database is physically located at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, and accessed by HUD field offices with authorized access. Records are maintained and transmitted to this database from the virtual environment of the service providers under contract with HUD.

Individuals who intend to access the examination or training materials offered by HUD in association with the certification requirements, whether or not they become certified; individuals seeking HUD certified housing counselor certification; or housing counseling clients receiving housing counseling from an agency participating in HUD’s Housing Counseling Program.

The categories of records collected by the HUD Certified Housing Counselor and Client Certificate of Housing Counseling Database are as follows:

1) Individuals registering to access HUD Certified Housing Counselor training: Legal first and last name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, and fax number (if applicable).

2) Individuals registering to access the HUD Housing Counselor Certification Examination: Legal first and last name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, fax number (if applicable), Social Security number (SSN), and employer’s HUD Housing Counseling System (HCS) number (if registrant’s employer is a housing counseling agency participating in HUD’s Housing Counseling Program). Registrants have the option of providing demographic information: race, ethnicity, gender and languages in which counseling services are offered. HUD is collecting information on languages to assess the number of examinees that might benefit from certification examination training materials being available in other languages. Information for fee payment will be collected by a third party vendor and will include credit card number, expiration date, and security code.

3) Individuals registering for HUD Certified Housing Counselor status or for Agency Application Coordinator for FHA Connection: Legal first and last name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, fax number (if applicable), Social Security number (SSN), HUD Housing Counselor Certification System ID number, mother’s maiden name, and employer’s HUD Housing Counseling System (HCS) ID number, and verification of employing agency’s name.

4) Examination Information: Scores from housing counselor certification examination list of all test-takers who pass the certification examination.

5) Client Certificate of Housing Counseling: Legal first and last name and address of the housing counseling client receiving counseling services from an agency participating in HUD’s Housing Counseling Program; legal first and last name and the Counselor ID number of the counselor completing the client certificate of housing counseling; name, address, telephone number, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and HCS ID number of the agency participating in HUD’s Housing Counseling Program; date and type of counseling service received; fees collected or waived; and whether counseling or education occurred in-person or remotely (telephone or Internet).

Note: Certain records maintained by this database pertain to individuals in their role as a sole proprietorship under the Department’s Housing Counseling Program. This information may reflect personal information; however, only the records that are personal, about the individual who is the subject of the record, are subject to the Privacy Act.

Subtitle D of title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (July 21, 2010); section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, 12 U.S.C.§ 1701x; and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 42 U.S.C. § 3543, which authorizes HUD to collect SSNs.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended section 106 of the HUD Act of 1968 to require that all homeownership and rental housing counseling provided in connection with HUD programs be provided by a HUD Certified housing counselor. The proposed rule published on September 13, 2013, set a timeframe for completing the certification examination. The final rule is under review and will address the timeframe when published. HUD will announce the start date of the certification examination in a separate Federal Register notice. The certification examination requires that an individual demonstrate competency by passing a standardized written examination covering six major areas of housing counseling. These areas include: (1) financial management; (2) property maintenance; (3) responsibilities of homeownership and tenancy; (4) fair housing laws and requirements; (5) housing affordability; and (6) avoidance of, and responses to, rental and mortgage delinquency and avoidance of eviction and mortgage default. In addition to passing the certification examination, individuals must work for a participating agency to become a HUD Certified Counselor. The new database will allow the Department to track housing counselor certifications that will be issued under the Department’s Housing Counseling Program, including the initial application/issuance of the HUD certified housing counselor certificate, any reissuance due to changes in employment status, and any revocations of certification. This system may also be used to verify the participating agency’s compliance with HUD’s Housing Counseling Program requirements. Other statutory changes to improve the effectiveness of housing counseling include increasing the breadth of counseling services so that they are comprehensive with respect to homeownership and rental counseling and issuing client Certificates of Housing Counseling to verify counseling requirements for FHA and other Federal, State, and local programs, as applicable. HUD’s Housing Counseling Program currently provides comprehensive homeownership and rental counseling. As noted in the proposed rule published on September 13, 2013, an individual counselor, in contrast to multiple counseling agencies, will have to show competency (through passage of an examination) in identifying and understanding the breadth of homeownership and rental counseling services. Currently, a potential homebuyer or homeowner is likely to seek a housing counseling agency that specializes in a specific area and receive comprehensive counseling by a counselor in that specific area. As a result of increasing the breadth of counseling service knowledge, a housing counselor providing counseling on a specific area requested by the client would also be trained to identify cross-cutting issues that a client may not have identified when seeking out a specific counselor or during the intake process by the housing counseling agency. In addition, certifying individual counselors may further enhance the high regard of agencies and counselors participating in HUD’s Housing Counseling Program.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside HUD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), as follows:

1) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent that such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I - HUD’s Routine Uses Inventory Notice, published in the Federal Register.

2) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

b) HUD has determined that, as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and

c) HUD determines that the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

3) To third party fee collection service for payment of examination fees.

Storage:

Records in this system are stored electronically. The records may be stored on magnetic disc, tape, and digital media. There are no hardcopy records produced that require additional storage.

Electronic records are retrieved by name (first and last), agency HCS number, employer, and system ID number. There are no hardcopy records produced that require additional retrieval.

The records that reside in the system will be kept for 10 years after the final action is taken on the file, document, and/or transaction. Longer retention is authorized if required for business use (Reference: GRS 1.2 DAA-GRS-2013-0008-0001). After the record retention requirements have been met (a minimum of 10 years), the data and records can be purged or deleted from the system. If paper records are generated from the system, they can be archived at the local Federal Records Center after the final action or transaction has taken place. Accordingly, paper records will be destroyed by burning of shredding, and electronic records will be destroyed according to NIST Special Publication 800-88, "Guidelines for Media Sanitization."

/HS-22 Housing Counseling System (HCS) with a sub-module as a database naming Client Activity Report System (CARS)

HUD Headquarters, Washington DC and Field Offices. In addition to these offices, HUD- approved counseling agencies in many cities, both voluntary and grant awarded by HUD, maintain files of this type. To determine whether such an agency exists in a particular city, contact the nearest HUD field office.

This system contains records of individuals who have been referred; individuals who have been or are receiving counseling; assistance with housing problems and financial problems; and individuals seeking debt and mortgage information.

This system contains records on the counseling agency profiles, grant award processes and client counseling performances. It contains information on the clients participating in the program; such as, name, address, household demographics (age, gender, race, ethnicity, income, assets, marital status, education, current work status, number of dependents, living situation and costs); financial information (gross monthly income, amount in savings, amount in retirement accounts, monthly rent paid, monthly utilities paid, mortgage payment status); Social Security Number, homeownership status, program status information, counseling agency ID, employment history of counselor, Born in U.S., English as primary language, homeownership status, foreclosure status; name, address, and telephone numbers of two relatives or friends for future follow-up.

Section 106(a) of the 1968 Housing Act; 12 U.S.C. 1701.

Purpose:

Is to administer Housing Counseling Assistance to enable anyone who wants to (or already does) rent or own housing--whether through a HUD program, a Veterans Affairs program, other Federal programs, a State or local program, or the regular private market--to get the counseling they need to make their rent or mortgage payments and to be a responsible tenant or owner in other ways. The counseling is provided by HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.

Three strategic goals undergird the programs: (1) To improve the quality of renter and homeowner education, (2) to develop a reliable stream of funding and resources for counseling agencies, and (3) to enhance coordination among local housing providers. HUD intends that these strategies together will create a new expectation among mortgage lenders and insurers, homebuilders, real estate brokers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies: to make counseling an integral part of services for potential renters and homebuyers.

See Routine Uses paragraphs in prefatory statement. Other routine uses:

• For Pooling current agency contact information for the public awareness, monitoring agency grant spending, monitoring agency performance in client counseling;

• To HUD systems such as, CHUMS, and Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to allow lending institutions verification of HUD programs for agencies;

• To the Office of Policy Development and Research, individual under contract with funds provided by HUD for the preparation of studies and statistical reports directly related to the management of HUD's Housing Counseling Program.

All documents are stored electronically in secure locations--there will be no retaining of paper copies.

During the counseling process and the retention period, records are maintained in confidential files with access limited to those whose official duties require access. Data transmitted from agencies will have SSN and other client identification data encrypted to conceal this information. Access to the system is password/ID controlled.

Name, Case Number, Client property address

Counseling records are maintained by the counseling agency for as long as the individual being counseled participates in the program and up to five (5) years thereafter. The Department may maintain summary records of the counseling for as long as the individual being counseled lives in HUD-insured or assisted property.

Section 255 of the National Housing Act of 1934 authorizes the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) reverse mortgage program for the elderly, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program (12 U.S.C.1715Z-20). The Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3543) specifically provides authority to collect Social Security numbers.

HERMIT integrates the endorsement; insurance servicing; claims payment; notes servicing, accounting, and reporting requirements of FHA’s HECM insurance program. The HECM program promotes continued homeownership for the elderly by allowing elderly borrowers to access the equity in their homes while continuing to live in the property. HERMIT allows the Secretary to maintain the "public trust" over the HECM program by seamlessly, accurately, and timely managing the HECM program in an automated environment. HERMIT allows HECM program personnel to collect and maintain the data necessary to support activities related to the endorsement of loans and collection of IMIP and MMIP. The claims process includes the filing of claims for insurance benefits and disbursement of funds to lenders of loans insured under the HECM program. Servicing activities include maintaining the data necessary to support performance requirements of servicing for FHA-insured and Secretary-held first and second mortgages. The major activities include acceptance of assignment and title review, servicing requests for HECM endorsed cases from mortgagees (due and payable, short sale, preservation and protection costs, subordination extension requests, and partial releases), accounting functions, collections according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, disbursement of payment, annual recertification, foreclosure activities, bankruptcy activities, and compliance monitoring. HERMIT provides HECM mortgagees with the ability to interact with HUD’s National Servicing Center (NSC) to improve HECM loan servicing and to provide an automated claims filing process.

(1) To servicing mortgagee to give notice of miscalculations or other errors in subsidy computation, to pay claims, or for other servicing-related functions.

(2) To taxing authorities, insurance companies, homeowners associations, or condominium associations for maintaining the property while HUD is the servicer of record to ensure property taxes are current.

(3) To the U.S. Department of the Treasury for collection and disbursement transactions (Pay.gov, Automated Clearing House (ACH)).

(4) To title insurance companies or financial institutions to allow HUD to respond to inquiries for payoff figures on HECM assigned loans.

(5) To recorders’ offices for recording legal documents and responses to bankruptcy courts or other legal responses required during the servicing of the insured loan to allow HUD to release mortgage liens, respond to bankruptcies or deaths of mortgagors to protect the interest of the Secretary of HUD.

(6) To the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate possible fraud revealed in the course of servicing efforts to allow HUD to protect the interest of the Secretary.

(7) To an Administrative Law Judge and to the interested parties to the extent necessary for conducting administrative proceedings where HUD is a party.

(8) To welfare agencies for fraud investigation to allow HUD to respond to state government inquiries when a HECM mortgagor is committed to a nursing home.

Upon loan termination DSRS calculates the unearned portion of the upfront MIP, and for eligible cases to distribute payments of the unearned portion of the upfront mortgage insurance premium to homeowners; and serves as the repository of all non-claim terminated loan data in the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) single family guaranteed loan portfolio. DSRS receives information from the Single Family Insurance (SFIS-A-43) when the insurance is terminated. In approximately 75 % of these situations, a refund is automatically made to the homeowner, for the remaining cases, DSRS generates an application for Premium Refund of Distributive Share Payment (form HUD-27050-B) that is sent to the homeowner. The homeowner returns this form and supporting documentation to HUD. These records are forwarded to a data entry contractor who extracts information from the form and prepares an electronic submission to DSRS. Documents are returned to HUD headquarters where they are reviewed and shredded after processing of the payment.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, other routine uses are as follow:

(a) HUD staff/management--in order to review and authorize payment to the homeowner(s), management reporting summary information (number and type of refunds/distributive shares, dollar value) for production/operations reporting;

(b) Online system access if provided to Contractor operated call centers--for general homeowner inquiries, form request, payments status. In compliance with the Privacy Act and Litigation, after a two-year period during which the payment has not yet been made, the Department has an online query screen, Does HUD Owe You a Refund? ( http://www.hud.gov/ofices/hsg/cop/refunds/index.cfm). At this site, homeowners and other interested parties can determine if they have a refund/share due;

/SF01.2502 Lender Electronic Assessment Portal (LEAP/P278), formerly "HUD/FHA Lender Approval Files."

LEAP is hosted on HUD servers located in Charleston, West Virginia.

Individuals covered by the system are principals or officers (i.e. director's managers and owners) of financial institutions that seek approval or are approved to originate service or hold single family or multifamily FHA- insured mortgages, or Title I and Title II insured loans.

All documents and related data required for a lender's application; including entity-level information such as lender institution name and address, business email address, and telephone number, tax identification number, corporate financial and organizational document, licenses and corporate credit reports. Other LEAP information include individual personal information on lending institution officials such as names, social security numbers, credit reports; background investigation documents types, excluded party report and individual resumes, and financial statements.

Title I and Title II of the National Housing Act; 12 U.S.C. 1703, 1709 and 1751b; 42 U.S.C. 1436a and 3535(d).

To obtain information from lenders and the principals or officers of financial institutions seeking approval or approved to originate, service or hold single family or multifamily FHA-insured mortgages, or Title I and Title II insured loans. The information in this record system enables HUD/FHA to process applications received for (1) Suitability and verification purposes; (2) to ensure conformance to FHA Title I and Title II authorities; (3) to identify specific individuals and roles at lending institutions, permitting correspondence to be addressed to individuals rather than job titles.

Currently, lenders seeking authority to issue FHA-insured mortgages or Title I and Title insured loans must manually submit a paper-based application package, which is analyzed and reviewed by HUD staff. This review ensures the applicant's capability to adhere to the requirements of FHA's mortgage insurance programs. LEAP has been developed to streamline the application process by migrating to electronic transmission of the requisite package.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, other routine uses include:

(a.) To the FBI during the course of investigating possible fraud in the FHA mortgage insurance, underwriting, insuring or monitoring process, to the extent necessary to obtain information pertinent to the investigation,

(b.) To the Department of Justice (DOJ) when seeking legal advice or for use in any proceeding, or in preparation for any proceeding, when HUD or any component thereof discloses information to DOJ during the course of an investigation to the extent necessary to obtain information pertinent to the investigation under the FHA Mortgage Insurance Program,

(c.) To HUD contractors, lenders and financial institutions for the purpose of conducting oversight and monitoring of program operations to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and financial reporting requirements,

(d.) Additional Disclosure for Purposes of Facilitating Responses and Remediation Efforts in the Event of a Data Breach. A record from a system of records maintained by HUD may be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

(1.) The Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised,

(2.) the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information,

(3.) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm, and

(e.) To a commercial or consumer reporting agency to use in obtaining credit reports on individuals and credit and background reports on entities.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington DC 20410; Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services, Building 6000, 2020 Union Carbide Drive, South Charleston, WV 25303. Backup, recovery, and archived digital media is stored in secure facilities located with Iron Mountain, 1545 Hansford St. Charleston, WV 25311. HUD also operates Field and Regional Offices₁ where Privacy Act records for MFH ASAP are maintained and/or accessed. Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) and Healthcare approved Lenders nationwide will also have access to the system but will have limited access to only their individual submission packages.

₁http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/localoffices

Mortgagees (HUD approved MAP and Healthcare Lenders).

Project Files/records in the system for every Multifamily and Healthcare project will contain the following information: Mortgagees name and Mortgagors, Employee identification Number/Tax Identification Number/Social Security Number, Project name, Project Sponsorâ€™s Name, Project Number, Account Number, and Unit Address. The project level data mentioned above is derived from the various HUD required forms.

Note: Certain records contained in this system, which pertain to individuals, contain principally proprietary information concerning sole proprietorships. Some of the records in the system which pertain to individuals may reflect personal information; however, only the records reflecting personal information are subject to the Privacy Act.

Sec. 113 of the Budget and Accounting Act of 1950 31 U.S.C. 66a. (Pub. L. 81-784). National Housing Act as amended (12 U.S.C. 1702 et seq.). HUD is authorized to collect the Social Security Number (SSN) by Section 165(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, Public Law 100-242 and by 42 U.S.C. 3543.

The MFH ASAP system is an automated underwriting system that supports processing, tracking and underwriting activities for MFH and its Office of Healthcare Program (OHP) applications. The system will be designed to support underwriting of applications submitted to HUD by approved lenders for FHA insurance related to Multifamily Housing or Healthcare projects. It will help to increase the sharing of information throughout MFH and OHP making the process more efficient, accurate, and transparent, thereby improving the partner relationships with both internal and external parties. Currently, the applications process relies heavily on manual processing and only meets the needs of the pipeline data tracking at a minimum for MFH. The system is expected to provide an end-to-end solution from concept phase to final closing for MFH, and will align with the OHP process improvement for both the Office of Residential Care Facilities (ORCF) (Section 232 program) and the Office of Hospital Facilities (OHF) (Section 242 program) that provide access to quality healthcare and residential facilities.

This MFH ASAP project initiative will provide an improved way of managing the pipeline data and electronic processing of the lender applications benefiting both MFH and OHP. This fully integrated solution allows electronic submission of applications using a web portal, enhancement to reporting capabilities, and document management solutions. Upon full implementation, this new system will replace in its entirety the MFH Development Application Processing system (DAP) and it supporting system of records notification.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, other routine uses are as follows:

(a) To the U.S. Treasury--for disbursements and adjustments.

(b) To the Internal Revenue Service--for reporting payments for mortgage interest, for reporting of discharge indebtedness and real estate taxes.

(c) To HUD Business Partners (Public Housing Authorities and Community Development Corporations serving as Performance-Based Contract Administrators (PBCAs))--to manage their portfolio.

(d) To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, and the agents of thereof, and others performing and/or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement with HUD, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to its system of records, limited to only those data elements considered relevant to accomplishing an agency function. Individuals providing information under this routine use are subject to the same Privacy Act requirements and limitations on disclosure as are applicable to HUD officers and employees.

(e) To contractors, experts, consultants with whom HUD has a contract, service agreement

or other assignment of the Department, when necessary to utilize relevant data for purposes of testing new technology and systems designed to enhance program operations and performance with the understanding that data disclosure restrictions apply under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act.

(f) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised; (b) HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUDâ€™s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

(g) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system are collected, as set forth by Appendix I â€" HUDâ€™s Library of Routine Uses published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2012 at 77 FR 41996.

Storage:

For electronic records, all data is stored at a secured data center on the production MFH ASAP database servers. Backup, recovery and archived digital media is stored in secure facilities located with Iron Mountain. All printed/hard copies that currently exist for projects will need to be created and stored in each HUD office in locked file cabinets when not in use. The printed/hard copies will later be shipped to Tulsa, OK, upon completing the final endorsement phase.

Note: Upon full implementation of new MFH ASAP, paper copies will no longer exist and require storage. The existing paper copies will have be uploaded into the new system format for electronic storage.

Electronic and Manual records can only be retrieved via the project number or the project status.

Note: Upon full implementation of MFH ASAP, hard copy records will no longer exist and/or require retrieval methods. The existing paper copies will have be uploaded into the new system format for electronic retrieval.

Strict access controls are governed for electronic records by the use of a user ID and password that require authentication before access is granted to MFH ASAP. All printed/hard copies that currently exist for projects will need to be created and stored in each HUD office in locked file cabinets when not in use, which access is limited to those personnel who service the records.

Note: Upon full implementation of MFH ASAP, hard copies will no longer exist for the new system. Paper records that existed under the prior manual process will have been uploaded into the new system format for electronic safeguarding.

HSNG.MF/HTS.01 Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMS)─F24

The system is hosted at the HUD data center in Charleston, West Virginia. Users have on-line access to the system at the Department of Housing and Urban Development Headquarters, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, HUD Field and Regional Offices, or at the locations of the service providers under contract with HUD.

The categories of individuals covered by the system include external business partners approved to do Multifamily business with HUD (e.g., property owners, management agents, contract administrators, and owner/agent contacts).

The categories of records in the system include:

(1) Contact Information: Name, home/business address, and home/business telephone number, fax, and e-mail address.

(2) Identification information: Social Security number (SSN) and tax identification number (TIN).

(3) Loan Servicing information: Section 8 subsidy contract renewals, property management reviews, physical condition of multifamily properties and ownership data, workload tracking of HUD staff, Departmental Enforcement Center tracking for corrective actions/referrals, and participant/partner information.

The Housing Act of 1937 as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 1437 et seq; CFR 24 Part 5.216 (c), and 5.216 (e); Housing and Community Development Act, 42 U.S.C § 3543, Section 165.

iREMS is HUD's multifamily property management tool for the Office of Multifamily Housing (MFH), the Departmental Enforcement Center (DEC), and the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC). The goal of iREMS is to improve fiscal and regulatory control over HUD's Multifamily housing portfolio, and ensure compliance with HUD program requirements and business agreements. iREMS is the repository of HUD's data that define the portfolio of insured, subsidized, HUD-held, HUD-owned, co-insured, elderly and disabled properties, and provides portfolio management for Section 8 contracts to establish property ownership and management for physical property inspection follow-up, and financial assessment reviews. The data are used for tracking property status, loan status and characteristics, Section 8 contract renewals, and financial status of property owners. iREMS provides REAC with the ability to validate financial statement submissions and mortgagee inspections. iREMS provides DEC and the Office of Affordable Housing Preservation the ability to track corrective action referrals initiated against owners and/or properties not fully complying with HUD requirements (Owners not in full compliance may be subject to enforcement action, including civil money penalties, suspension and/or debarment, and referral to the Department of Justice). When criminal activity is suspected, cases are referred to HUD’s Office of the Inspector General for investigation.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside HUD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b)(3) as follows:

1. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I – HUD’s Routine Uses Inventory Notice published in the Federal Register.

2. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

b) HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information;

c) HUD has determined that the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

3. To the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or to the General Services Administration for records management inspections conducted under 44 U.S.C. § § 2904 and 2906.

4. To a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of the individual to whom the record pertains.

5. To the Department of Justice for possible enforcement action against owners or properties not complying with HUD requirements.

6. To HUD business partners (Public Housing Authorities and Community Development Corporations serving as Performance Based Contract Administrators (PBCA)) in order to fulfill their business agreements with HUD (e.g., manage their assigned Section 8 contracts).

Storage:

Records in this system are stored securely electronically or on paper in secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locked door.

Records are retrieved mainly based on the property identification number or contract ID. However, for participant/partner information and security system access it is possible to locate data via their names and/or taxpayer identification number (TIN).

Access to electronic systems is by password and code identification card access and limited to authorized users. Retrievals are only accessible via entry of a valid HUD user id and password. LDAP (light-weight directory access protocol) is used to verify external users -- each must be properly registered with HUD and have an LDAP user id/password. When first gaining access to iREMS and on an annual basis, all users must agree to the systems "Rules of Behavior" which specify handling of personal information and any physical records.

Paper records are destroyed by shredding or burning. Backup and Recovery digital media will be destroyed or otherwise rendered irrecoverable per NIST SP 800-88 Revision 1 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization" (December 2014). Records and data are retained and disposed of in accordance with the HUD Records Disposition Schedules Handbook (2225.6 Rev-1), as described in Records Disposition Schedule 68, Items 2 and 3.

/OHHLHC-1 Compliance Investigation and Enforcement Files of the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control ("CIEF").

Headquarters.

Categories of individuals included in the system with respect to residential properties include: Owners, managers, agents, and landlords; potential purchasers; and prospective and actual tenants. Categories of individuals included in the system with respect to referrals of concerns include: tips or complaints that are not anonymous, EPA, local government agencies (e.g., health departments and building code enforcement agencies), not for profit organizations interested in protecting the rights and health of tenants, and the HUD Inspector General. Categories of individuals included in the system with respect to investigation of properties include: HUD employees.

Records consist of the following information pertaining to the owner, manager and agent: Name, title, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, company name, corporate registration number, and corporate registered agent name. Records also include: Property information, residential lease information, documents related to lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards, inspection reports, risk assessment reports, clearance tests, and associated disclosures and notifications, local housing code violation information, number of child lead-poisoning reports for a property, source of referral, consent agreements and administrative settlements, and the associated monitoring of these agreements.

HUD is charged with ensuring proper disclosure of information concerning lead upon transfer of residential property, whether by sale or lease, under 42 U.S.C. 4852(d). HUD has authority to promulgate regulations to enforce the statutory requirements under 42 U.S.C. 4852d(a) (1) and (2). HUD's statutory authority to enforce its regulations are found at 42 U.S.C. 4852d(a)(5) and (b). Additionally, HUD is charged with establishing procedures to eliminate the hazards of lead-based paint in any housing receiving Federal assistance under 42 U.S.C. 4822(a). 24 CFR part 35 contains the implementing regulations promulgated pursuant to the statutes.

The primary purpose of CIEF is to enable OHHLHC to complete its statutory responsibility to ensure compliance with the Lead Disclosure Rule 24 CFR 35, subpart A, and the Lead Safe Housing Rule 24 CFR part 35, subparts B-R. The lead disclosure is to occur before a lessee or buyer is obligated under a lease or sale agreement. The only way to verify disclosure is to evaluate the documentation that memorializes these transactions and the parties involved. Since knowledge is an integral aspect of disclosure, any documentation regarding knowledge of lead (e.g., lead-based paint inspections, lead-based paint inspections risk assessments, hazard reduction activities, local abatement orders or notices of code violations, etc.) is necessary for verifying what and when the owner or his agent knew or should have known.

In the case of federally assisted housing, the owner or designated party is required to perform some type of inspection and attendant abatement action. The regulations require ongoing activities until all lead-based paint is removed, including use of lead safe work practices and notification of tenants regarding all of these activities.

If an OHHLHC investigation indicates a violation or potential violation of the lead disclosure rule, relevant documents may be disclosed to the appropriate Federal, state or local authority for investigation or enforcement of the applicable laws and regulations. If an OHHLHC investigation indicates a violation or potential violation of the lead safe housing rule, relevant documents may be disclosed to the appropriate program office or Enforcement Center for investigation or enforcement of the applicable laws and regulations.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under subsection (b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), records may also be disclosed routinely to other users under the following circumstances:

1. Records may be disclosed to individuals under contract, cooperative agreement, or working agreement with HUD to assist the Department in fulfilling its statutory lead disclosure responsibilities.

2. Records may be disclosed during the course of an administrative proceeding where HUD or other federal agency is a party, to the Administrative Law Judge and the interested parties to the extent necessary for conducting the proceeding.

3. Records may be disclosed to the Department of Justice for litigation purposes associated with the representation of HUD or other Federal agency before the courts.

4. Records may be disclosed to a confidential source to the extent necessary to assist the Office of Inspector General in an investigation.

Storage:

Records are stored electronically in computers and in hard copy format in file cabinets or other secure storage units.

Records may be retrieved by manual or computer search by the name of the property owner, manager, or agent.

Records are maintained in a secure computer network, and in locked file cabinets in rooms with controlled access.

Information will be archived electronically for the database and physically for paper records when an active case or consent is closed or after seven years, whichever is earlier. Documents referred to HUD's OIG will become part of the OIG Investigative Files. Records will be retained and disposed of in accordance with the General Records Schedule included in HUD Handbook 2228.2, appendix 14, items 21-26.

FHEO TEAPOTS is the system that maintains case file data when further investigation is warranted, under a filed housing discrimination complaint. This is where the housing discrimination complaint inquiries and case files are documented and stored during the investigation process. Information on the complainants is collected on a case-by-case basis only if relevant to the particular case. The origination of a compliant begins with the origination of the HUD Form 903. The HUD Form 903 is used for filing discrimination complaints over unfair housing practices. This form is available in paper and on-line. The public may submit a HUD Form 903 (a housing discrimination complaint form) via the internet or by mail. HUD Form 903 collects initial potential case information for assessment and turns the information over to the appropriate regional office jurisdiction. Information gathered through the HUD Form 903 system opens an inquiry with FHEO that is explored through further discussion between FHEO staff and the complainant. These discussions gather additional data that establish jurisdiction and determine whether or not to launch an investigation. HUD's FHEO also use these records within TEAPOT's to monitor the quality of the investigations performed by authorized non-Federal agencies, and to determine the amount these agencies should be paid for performing the investigating. A paper case file that includes the information tracked in TEAPOTS, as well as additional information, is maintained outside of TEAPOTS.

All persons filing a housing discrimination complaint (known as Complainants) and their representatives; all persons and/or organizations identified by Complainants as having committed housing discrimination (known as Respondents) and their representatives; all those investigating and reviewing the housing discrimination complaint

All persons filing a housing discrimination complaint (known as Complainants) and their representatives; All persons and/or organizations identified by Complainants as having committed housing discrimination (known as Respondents) and their representatives; All those investigating and reviewing the housing discrimination complaint. Personal information which is generally maintained in TEAPOTS include: Name of Complainant, Respondent, Respondent Organization, Witnesses, and Complainant's or Respondent's Representative (if applicable); Home and work address of Complainant, Respondent Organization, and Representative; Contact number for Complainant, Respondent/Respondent Organization, Witnesses, and Representative. Because TEAPOTS is the fair housing complaints database, it normally maintains the following personal information of the Complainant, other aggrieved parties information, the Respondent, and/or witnesses based on the issues and bases of what is alleged in the complaint cases. Also included is race, national origin, disability (mental/physical); family status (pregnancy, families with children under 18); religion types of personal information, documents that may be maintained and found in TEAPOTS; Letters from physicians/medical records (in disability- based/reasonable accommodation claims); Rental lease agreements; Financial and loan information (in fair lending cases); Name, age/date of birth of minor children, and number of dependents (in family status cases, which includes families with children under the age of 18.)

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, HUD may disclose information contained in this system of records without the consent of the subject individual if the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was collected under the following routine uses:

1. To individuals under contract to HUD or under contract to another agency with funds provided by HUD for the purpose of conducting oversight and monitoring of program operations to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and FHEO reporting requirements (individuals provided information under this routine use is subject to Privacy Act requirements and limitation on disclosures as are applicable to HUD officials and employees);

2. To State and local agencies Once certified by HUD to investigate and adjudicate Title VIII housing discrimination complaints, State and local agencies also use TEAPOTS to record investigation information;

3. To authorized requestors requesting release from records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act request; and

Storage:

The data is stored on the TEAPOTS production server, and the reporting server. The data is backed up every night to tape and is stored at the National Archives and Record Administration on a CD for permanent storage, when applicable. Manual records are stored in lockable file cabinets.

Records are retrieved by file number, Complaint name, or respondent name.

A User ID and password are required for authentication, Files Rules of Behavior form prior to being granted system access. These rules emphasize privacy protections of the personally identifiable information in TEAPOTS. Permission restrictions prevent unsolicited and illicit access to another region's data. Manual records are stored in lockable file cabinets; computer facilities are secured and accessible only by authorized personnel, and all files are stored in a secured area. Technical restraints are employed with regard to accessing the computer and data files.

The retention period for the information in TEAPOTs is maintained for the life of the case to support the activity and other enforcement activities that may become related to the case. When the life of the case is closed (the case is no longer needed for administrative or reference use, or to satisfy preservation requirements), and a final determination has been made of the case records, records in the system are maintained in accordance with the approved records schedule, HUD's Records and Disposition Schedule Handbook 2225.6, Appendix 50. [2] Historic or significant investigation files are PERMANENT, pending appraisal by NARA. Files Transfers are made to the National Archives and Records Administration every 5 years, when applicable (Including a listing of restricted data fields, which remain in place 30 years after which a final appraisal is conducted.

/OCIO/QN.01 Digital Identity Access Management System (DIAMS) - P281.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington D.C. 20410; Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services, Building 6000, 2020 Union Carbide Drive, South Charleston, WV 25303. Backup, recovery, and archived digital media is stored in secure facilities located with Iron Mountain, 1545 Hansford St., Charleston, WV 25311. The DIAMS is accessible from all systems connected to the HUD Intranet nationwide at HUD Field and Regional offices.₁

₁http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/localoffices.

Most identity records are not classified. However, in some cases, records of a few individuals, or portions of some records, may potentially be classified in the interest of national security.

The following are covered by the DIAMS: all users of HUD information technology systems including HUD employees and supporting contractors, students, interns, volunteers; affiliates of, and users from, State and local governments, non-profit organizations, academia, and third party business partners. The system does not apply to occasional visitors or short-term guests to whom HUD will issue temporary identification and credentials.

DIAMS will collect and store the First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Country, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Agency Rank, Agency, US Citizen Status, User Principal Name (UPN), AD Identifier, Distinguished Name, Common Name, Display Name, User Password, Email Address and Unique User ID (e.g., H or C ID numbers).

The authority for maintenance of the system and authorizes the collection of information is the Federal Information Processing Standards, 201 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors (44 U.S.C. 3542(b)(2)). Other governing laws and regulations for managing and processing Federal credentials are as follows: 5 U.S.C. 301; Federal Information Security Act (P.L.104â€"106, sec. 5113); Electronic Government Act (P.L. 104â€"347, sec. 203); Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501); Government Paperwork Elimination Act (P.L. 105â€"277, 44 U.S.C. 3504); Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPDâ€"12), Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, August 27, 2004; and Federal Property and Administrative Act of 1949, as amended OMB Circular No. A-130, Management of Federal Information Resources (11/28/2000) and Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records about Individuals, dated June 25, 1993 (58 FR 36075, July 2, 1993); OMB Memo M-05-24, Federal Information Systems Management Act of 2002; and Executive Order -- Improving Critical Infrastructure Cyber Security (February 12, 2013).

DIAMS will provide centralized, automated functionality to manage the many digital identities that interact with HUDâ€™s information technology environment. DIAMS will provide a central repository and web-based portal that stores and allows central management of core digital identification, credential and access management (ICAM) data elements. DIAMS captures and stores information about persons and non-person entities that are granted access into HUDâ€™s business applications. DIAMS also provides HUD with a platform to centrally and actively manage the identity life-cycle of persons and non-person entities from account creation through account removal. DIAMS will integrate with HUDâ€™s authoritative data sources including HUDâ€™s human resource management system, physical access control system including USAccess operated by the General Services Administration, personnel clearance system, and multiple internal Directory Services to ensure synchronization of identities across HUDâ€™s digital landscape. DIAMS will use batch files and IdMâ€™s (Identity Managementâ€™s) connector to synchronize data from and to authorized data sources. The connection pipe will be secured with Public Key Infrastructure exchange. A feed from HUDâ€™s Human Resource (HR) system for employees and Sponsor initiation of Contractors in IdM will start the on-boarding process for a HUD Identity. The on-boarding process will require notifications to the responsible manager or sponsor during all stages of the workflow. During employment, application access will be requested through the IdM application provisioning and de-provisioning functions by authorized HUD personnel. When personnel are off-boarded, HR and Sponsors will initiate off-boarding disabling accounts and removing privileges.

AI/CMISS provides HUD OIG Investigations with an automated system which manages cases under investigation from their inception to their closing through a centralized data repository of case information. AI/CMISS and its environment is a secure environment where access to information is controlled through a formal process of checks and authorizations involving a hierarchical supervisory structure. Special Agents in Charge (SAC), Assistant Special Agents in Charge (ASAC), Supervisory Forensic Auditors (SFA), Forensic Auditors (FA), Special Agents (SA) and support staff, document all steps in their assigned activities. Additionally, due to judicial involvement in some of the cases, the files kept and maintained by HUD OIG may be made available to the courts under discovery. AI/CMISS provides data that is currently available through the intranet to the investigators and auditors. This provides a method for remote HUD OIG users and traveling employees to access the AI/CMISS systems from their laptops regardless of whether or not they are located within a HUD OIG office. Both Systems support the HUD OIG requirement to maintain a detailed audit trail of cases to closure. This requires a system, which will be capable of capturing and maintaining data integrity during the complete case cycle while ensuring data privacy and confidentiality.

/HSNG.SF.001 Loan Review System (LRS)─HUD.HSNG/SF.001.

Unclassified, but sensitive.

Loan Review System is hosted at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, or at the locations of the service providers under contract with HUD. Paper records will be stored in the designated secure National Archives and Records Administration Federal Records Centers.

Marcus Smallwood, Acting, Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410; telephone number 202-402-5581.

Section 203 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. §§ 1701l-1, 1708(a), 1709(r), and 1715(u)); 42 U.S.C. § 3543 "Preventing fraud and abuse in Department of Housing and Urban Development programs" (enacted as part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987); and 31 U.S.C. § 7701 (The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1986).

The purpose of the Loan Review System (LRS) is to build on existing Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Title II Single Family loan review efforts, align the documentation of loan review results across counterparties, and incorporate the newly developed Loan Quality Assessment Methodology (Defect Taxonomy). The Defect Taxonomy provides a standard approach for all FHA Title II loan reviews for Single Family Housing Programs in order to:

• Communicate clear policy messages to involved counterparties;

• Encourage lending to FHA targeted populations;

• Provide feedback on the effectiveness of FHA underwriting policies;

• Support holistic risk management through monitoring performance and policy compliance of lenders; and

• Identify key performance characteristics, risk drivers and comparative performance across counterparties.

The FHA Title II reviews will include both loan and lender reviews that focus on both underwriting and servicing activities to provide HUD reviewers with the questions to help drive standardized reviews across FHA Homeownership Centers. It will additionally provide communication channels for lenders to view and respond to issues found in the reviews.

The LRS will manage FHA’s Title II Quality Control Reviews: Title II test case loan reviews, various Title II post-endorsement loan reviews, Title II lender monitoring reviews, and Title II loans reported by lenders due to instances of fraud and misrepresentation or other material findings (commonly known as "self-reports"). LRS is not designed to manage any aspect of FHA’s standard (non-test case) loan origination or endorsement processes. Following a transition, LRS will merge the loan review workload management functions performed by the Underwriting Review System, and the Approval Recertification, Review Tracking System into a single integrated application. In addition, LRS will assume the lender reporting functions managed in the Neighborhood Watch Early Warning System.

The categories of individuals covered by the system include Mortgagors (Borrowers) who have obtained a mortgage insured under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)/Federal Housing Administration Single Family mortgage insurance program; Mortgagee (Lender) staff Appraisers, Underwriters and Loan Officers involved in appraising, underwriting or servicing the mortgage; and HUD Employees involved in the loan review process.

The categories of records maintained by the system include:

• Mortgagor (Borrower): Borrower(s) Full Name, Borrower(s) Social Security number, Borrower(s) Date of Birth, Income, Credit Score, Non-Borrowing Spouse Social Security number.

• Mortgagee (Lender Institution): Originating, Underwriting and/or Servicing Mortgagee Institution ID, Institution Name, Institution Type, Institution Status, Branch Type, Branch ID, Nationwide Multistate Licensing System ID.

• Mortgagee Appraiser: First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Suffix.

• Mortgagee Underwriter: First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Suffix, Federal Housing Administration FHA Underwriter ID.

• Mortgagee Loan Officer: First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Nationwide Multistate Licensing System ID.

• HUD Employees: Names and identification of all HUD employees with access to the system records. Also, identification information is stored for employees who work with mortgage applications through Federal Housing Administration Connection.

HSNG.SF/FB.01 Distributive Shares and Refunds Subsystem (DSRS)-A80D

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 470 L’Enfant Plaza East, Room 3119, Washington, DC 20026; HUD Information Technology Systems Production Data Center in South Charleston, West Virginia, and Lanham, Maryland; and at the location of the service providers under contract with HUD.

Homeowners (Mortgagors) who had Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insured loans and may be eligible for an upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) or distributive shares refund.

Homeowners (Mortgagors) information is made up of the following elements: borrower and/or co-borrower names, Social Security number (SSN), mailing address, property address, FHA case number, loan endorsement and termination dates, homeowners distributive shares refunds amount due, correspondence actions, including the number of times it was mailed to the homeowner, type of correspondence sent, and status of issued refund check.

The National Housing Act and Section 7(d) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act, section 203; Pub. L. 89-174; 24 CFR 5.210, 24 CFR 200.1101; 24 CFR 203.35; Debt Collection Act of 1982, Pub. L. 97-365; Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 42 U.S.C § 3543, titled "Preventing fraud and abuse in Department of Housing and Urban Development programs" and enacted as part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, which permits the collection of SSN.

The DSRS was designed in response to a Congressional mandate, wherein HUD established a new method for collecting and processing FHA UFMIP refunds or distributive share payments. The DSRS maintains records on individuals that are entitled to either two types of payments: (1) an UFMIP refund, or (2) a distributive share payment. The system is operated by the Department’s Office of Single Family Insurance Operations to service unclaimed terminated loan transactions, should a homeowner terminate their mortgage insurance prior to loan maturity, entitling the homeowner to a premium refund. The DSRS records, controls, and tracks appropriations data for all terminations, disbursements, transfers, transactions, and produces daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports on these transactions. The system gives the Department’s operating areas access to their own cash data, provides management access to all the cash data in prescribed formats, produces appropriation reports in accordance with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, 2 U.S.C. 661 et.1 seq., produces and transmits monthly cash reconciliation to the Department’s accountants, and processes returned checks, check tracer actions, and related correspondence for distribution to homeowners.

DSRS interfaces with the following systems to facilitate payment and refund transactions:

(1) Single Family Insurance System (SFIS) – to calculate the unearned portion of the UFMIP for eligible cases, to send refund data to the DSRS for distribution of payments to the homeowner for the unearned portions of the UFMIP or distributive shares.

(2) Single Family Premium Collection Subsystems (SFPCS) Upfront, and the Single Family Premium Collection Subsystems for Periodic (SFPCS-P) – to receive refund data from DSRS to generate the UFMIP refund or distributive share payments.

a. Equally important, the Department utilizes the DSRS to generate correspondence actions to attempt to notify each unpaid mortgagor of their FHA insurance refund for a period of 2 years. This process occurs once the Department receives notification of a mortgage insurance termination. After this 2-year hold, the Department makes available to the general public a cumulative listing of any unpaid refund that remains unpaid. The information includes the homeowner’s name, last known address, FHA case number, termination data, and refund amount. This information is also made available to the public by HUD’s refund database, "Does HUD Owe You a Refund?"

(1) To authorized requesters or third party tracers who request access to UFMIP and distributive shares homeowner refund information, when such information is unavailable on HUD’s FOIA reading room or refunds database websites. This information is releasable under FOIA. Third party release of this material may require authorized consent of the homeowner to whom the records belong, and must adhere to all HUD procedures prior to release.

(2) To the U.S. Department of the Treasury for collection and disbursement of check transactions.

(3) To the recorders’ offices for recording legal documents and responses to offsets (i.e., child support) or other legal responses required during the servicing of the insured loan to allow HUD to release mortgage liens, and respond to bankruptcies or deaths of mortgagors to protect the interest of the Secretary of HUD.

(4) To the Office of Inspector General to investigate possible fraud revealed in servicing homeowners refunds to allow HUD to protect the interest of the Secretary.

(5) To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants and their agents, or others performing or working under a contract, service, grant, or cooperative agreement with HUD, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to a system of records. Disclosure requirements are limited to only those data elements considered relevant to accomplishing an agency function. Individuals provided information under this routine use conditions are subject to Privacy Act requirements and disclosure limitations imposed on the Department.

(6) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

(a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

(7) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent that such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I – HUD’s Library of Routine Uses published in the Federal Register.

Storage:

Electronic records are maintained on the mainframe and on CD and DVD. Paper records are maintained in locked file cabinets and destroyed immediately after electronic imaging and payment verification has occurred. This is usually done within 30 days of receipt.

Records are retrieved by FHA case number and by an individual’s name. Paper records are not retrieved from the system.

CDs and DVDs are maintained in secured office space and secure file rooms to which access is limited to those personnel who service the records. Access to electronic records is granted by user ID and password and to users who have a need to access such records. Paper records are maintained in locked file cabinets and destroyed immediately after electronic imaging and payment verification has occurred.

DSRS records are maintained in accordance with HUD’s Deposition General Records Schedule 1.1, Financial Management and Reporting Records, Item 010. Paper records do not require storage by the Federal Records Center. Paper records consist of the HUD form, HUD-27050-B (Application for Premium Refund or Distributive Share Payment), which is transferred to electronic media, and then destroyed immediately after electronic imaging and payment verification has occurred. Paper records are destroyed by shredding. Paper records are maintained for a period not to exceed 30 days. CD and DVD images of records are maintained for 40 years after which they are destroyed as instructed by guidelines outlined in HUD’s IT Security Handbook (2400.25), pursuant to NIST Special Publication 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization."

HSNG.SF/HWAA.02 Single Family Insurance Systemâ€"Claims Subsystem (A43C).

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, and at the Single Family Insurance Systemâ€"Claims Subsystem software is located on HUDâ€™s mainframe, which is located at 3200 Kanawha Turnpike. Building 6000, South Charleston, WV 25303. Backup facilities and infrastructure services are provided by SUNGUARD (184 Railroad Drive, Warminster, PA 18974) and Lockheed Martin (4701 Forbes Boulevard, Lanham, MD 20706) respectively.

A43C maintains data on mortgagors that have obtained a HUD insured mortgage. The system also records the servicer and holder of HUD insured mortgages.

The Single Family Insurance Systemâ€"Claims Subsystem includes mortgagor data such as FHA case number, mortgagor name, mortgagor Social Security Number, property address, and mortgage amount. Stored holder information includes the holder mortgagee name, holder number, holder address, and mortgagee reference number. Stored servicer information includes the servicer mortgagee name, servicer number, and servicer address.

U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended (Pub. L. 75-412); National Housing Act of 1934; 24 CFR 203.35 (2013); 24 CFR 200.6 (2013); and 24 CFR 5.216 (2013).

The Single Family Insurance Systemâ€"Claims Subsystem (CLAIMS) processes single family (SF) insurance claims against defaulted loans. CLAIMS also processes accounts receivables relating to SF claims, performs collection activities, processes cash receipts, and records accounts receivable activities as well as providing accounting information to users. The claims process is initiated when a servicing mortgagee completes and submits an application for Single Family Insurance Benefits (HUD Form 27011) to HUD headquarters, via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), the FHA Connection, or paper. Each type of claim requires the submission of a Part A (Initial Application) and Part B (Fiscal Data). When submitting a paper conveyance claim, a Title Approval Letter (TAL) must accompany the claim. However, when transmitting the claim through EDI, the TAL is not submitted with the conveyance claim because the title approval data from A80S-Single Family Acquired Asset Management System (SAMS) is stored in an authorization file. Collection of a borrowerâ€™s PII isnâ€™t required for performance of A43Câ€™s objective per say. A43C is a subset of A43 which is the system of record for insured single family loans. Prior to payment of claim for an insured loan through A43C, the loan needs to first be issued and insured through A43. And in the process of the borrower obtaining an FHA-insured loan, their PII is required to be collected.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552 a(b) of the Privacy Act, other routine uses are as follows:

Mortgagors who assumed or obtained a mortgage insured under HUD Federal Housing Administration single family mortgage insurance programs. Mortgagors who had Federal Housing (FHA) mortgage insured loans.

The categories of records in the A43/SFIS system are as follows:

1) Insurance-in-Force (IIF) Records: Single Family insurance-in-force records which include PII data pertaining to (Mortgagors) borrower’s/co-borrower’s and their spouses full names, Social Security numbers, property addresses, date of birth, race/ethnicity, gender/sex; case-level details on the endorsement of the loan to include status code, FHA case number, original mortgage amount, beginning of amortization date, originating lender, transaction records, initial and monthly mortgage insurance premiums (IMIP & MMIP).

Sec. 203, National Housing Act, Pub. L. 73-479; The National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1701 et. seq.) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3531 et seq.); 24 CFR Parts 202, 203, 206, 241 and 266. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 42 U.S.C § 3543, titled "Preventing fraud and abuse in Department of Housing and Urban Development programs" and enacted as part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, which permits the collection of SSN.

Single Family Insurance System (SFIS) has been used to maintain IIF database, which contains accurate and detailed case information on FHA-insured single family properties. The IIF was initially loaded with information about several million active and terminated FHA cases in the single family mortgage insurance inventory. SFIS allows on-line access to FHA case information and is used to make inquiries and process actions on single family forward mortgages guaranteed by HUD. The system produces daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually reports upon request. The SFIS process begins with the endorsement of a case and continues through termination of the case and throughout the maintenance phase of post-termination cases. Online access to case information and reports is only available internally to HUD employees. The information in this system of records enables FHA to operate the single family mortgage insurance program (e.g., maintain data on the endorsement of single family loans and loan guarantees); record and calculate the collection of upfront and periodic mortgage insurance premiums (UFMIP and Periodic MIP); refund the unearned portion of the UFMIP’s to homeowners; and respond to inquiries regarding insured mortgages. The Department utilizes its Distributive Shares and Refund System (DSRS) to authorize payment of the UFMIP refunds and SFIS system to maintain schedules showing the remaining amount of the UFMIP credit available each month.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. § 522a(b) of the Privacy Act, other routine uses may include:

1) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I, HUD’s Routine Use Inventory Notice, published in the Federal Register.

Storage:

Records are stored on magnetic tape/disc/drum. No hard copy records are maintained by SFIS that require storage. Electronic records are stored on DASD – Direct Access Storage Device and Virtual Tape Library (VTL).

Records are retrieved by name, co-borrower name, Social Security Number, property address, home address, and FHA Case number.

Automated records are maintained in secured areas. Access is limited to authorized personnel. Access to the system is granted through a user ID and password. Users are required to sign a Rules of Behavior before accessing the system.

Records are held in accordance with HUD’s Records Disposition Schedules Handbook (2225.6), Appendix 20 (Single Family Home Mortgage Insurance Program Records) and Appendix 21 (Financial Management Information Systems). Current retention periods for Single Family Case files are twelve years after close of the calendar year in which endorsed. Electronic records are maintained and destroyed as instructed by guidelines outlined in HUD’s IT Security Handbook (2400.25), pursuant to NIST Special Publication 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization."

Tom Wright, System Owner, Thomas.C.Wright@hud.gov; Department of Housing and Urban Development Headquarters, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, 202- 402-4978

42 U.S.C. 3543 - Preventing fraud and abuse in Department of Housing and Urban Development Programs (enacted as part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987)-(a) Disclosure of social security account number. As a condition of initial or continuing eligibility for participation in any program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development involving loans, grants, interest or rental assistance of any kind, or mortgage or loan insurance, and to ensure that the level of benefits provided under such programs is proper, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may require that an applicant or participant (including members of the household of an applicant or participant) disclose his or her social security account number or employer identification number to the Secretary.

Section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992), as amended by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-330, approved October 26, 1996) and 2013 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 113-6, approved March 26, 2013), established the Section 184 program to provide access to sources of private mortgage financing to Indian families, Indian housing authorities, and Indian tribes. Congress established this program in 1992 to facilitate homeownership and increase access to capital in Native American Communities. The Section 184 program addresses obstacles to mortgage financing on trust land and in other Indian and Alaska Native areas by giving HUD the authority to guarantee loans to eligible persons and entities to construct, acquire, refinance, or rehabilitate one- to four-family dwellings in these areas. ONAP-LOS is being developed to provide automated capabilities for the ONAP Office of Loan Guarantee. FR Doc. 2016-26331 Filed 10-31-16.

ONAP-LOS will automate and expedite the processes required to originate a loan guarantee under the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program. ONAP-LOS will enable lender institutions to register new Section 184 loans, request reservations of funds, and submit completed loan case binders to HUD electronically to support the loan endorsement process. In addition, the ONAP-LOS system will include a lender registration and re-certification capability.

ONAP-LOS will allow for increased data collection on borrowers, properties, and transactions. Once fully implemented, ONAP-LOS will integrate loan performance data collection and analysis, loss mitigation efforts on delinquent loans, and default loan tracking. The system will enable the expansion of the credit model to include more econometric-, borrower- and transaction-level analysis to better model the program and overall risk. It will provide for better case tracking, reporting and program management, and analysis.

The ONAP-LOS system, in support of the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program, will capture and maintain data across the following major information categories:

a. Section 184 Direct Guarantee Lenders describe the lending institutions that register the loans, log property appraisals, reserve funds for obligation, and request endorsements of loans

b. Native American and Alaskan Native Borrowers and any Co-Borrowers who have applied for and/or obtained a loan guarantee certificate under HUD’s Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program

c. Property and Appraisals associated with the Section 184 loans to be endorsed

d. Section 184 Loans

These information categories, particularly "Primary Borrowers and Co-Borrowers" will include personally identifiable information (PII).

For ONAP-LOS, a unique case number is assigned to each Section 184 loan and is used to identify and retrieve the loan information including the borrower/co-borrower SSN (see section above, "AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM"). To secure this information, ONAP-LOS data is transmitted electronically and is protected by the following electronic security systems: password, encryption, user ID, authorization and authentication processes, Transport Layer Security (TLS), firewall, Public Key Infrastructure, and additional controls for internal users including Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Cards and Virtual Private Network (VPN).

The following are the categories of information that is collected and stored by ONAP-LOS. The information is used to verify factors necessary to ensure accurate and complete endorsement review and approval of Section 184 loans. A detailed data dictionary has been developed for ONAP-LOS and is available upon request.

Categories of users and purposes of such uses:

The records collected and contained in the ONAP-LOS system will not be shared outside the HUD firewall during the routine use of the system. However, in addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. Section 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside HUD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) for the following exceptions:

1. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I – HUD’s Routine Use Inventory Notice published in the Federal Register.

2. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

a. HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

b. HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected, or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information;

c. The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with HUD’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm for purposes of facilitating responses and remediation efforts in the event of a data breach.

3. To the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or to the General Services Administration (GSA) for records having sufficient historical or other value to warrant continued preservation by the United States Government, or for inspection under Title 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

4. To another Federal agency or Federal entity, HUD will follow the Department’s standard procedures in determining and then disseminating information from ONAP-LOS that is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in: (a) Responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or, (b) Preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach.

5. To a congressional office from the record of an individual, in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of that individual.

ONAP-LOS is adopting the Single-Family Home Mortgage Insurance Program records disposition schedule, which covers electronic management and references to Appendix 20 of the HUD Records Disposition Schedules Handbook (2225.6 Rev-1).

Currently, HUD prints and builds the loan case binder which comprises all documentation associated with the loan. Each loan case binder is shipped and stored to a record storage contractors provide named Iron Mountain for the life of the loan (30 years, plus an additional 6 years, as is required in Schedule 20). With ONAP-LOS in production, the records management capabilities will retain/archive the documentation per this required period.

Data stored electronically is protected by the following electronic security systems: password, encryption, user ID, authorization and authentication processes, firewall, and TLS.

HUD retrieves system information by the individual’s name, last four digits of his or her social security number, and, if known, the system generated case identification number. Lender information would be retrieved by the Lender’s legal name and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and then similar individual information.

ONAP-LOS maintains records as needed under the NARA approved records schedule HUD Records Disposition Schedules Handbook (2225.6 Rev-1), Appendix 20. The loan case binder will be maintained in ONAP-LOS for the life of the loan (30 years, plus an additional 6 years, as is required in Schedule 20).

ONAP-LOS has implemented a set of security controls to minimize the risk, including:

•Passwords and Social Security Numbers are masked on the user input forms

•Strong access controls that are implemented in accordance with the principles of separations of duties and least privilege. External users only have access to the information that they have entered. The exception is some privileged users at external organizations that have access to all information their organization has entered.

•The application logs the user out after 10 minutes of inactivity, hiding previously visible information

•Encrypting sensitive information in the ONAP-LOS database

•Data is stored internally, protected by a firewall and physical security controls provided by Azure

•HUD and Microsoft Azure implement physical security controls to protect stored electronic information.

•Data is only shared internally or with the Department of Treasury. The information shared with Treasury is limited to the financial transactions for reserving funds (commitments) and endorsements of approved mortgage insurance applications (obligations). HUD has a shared service agreement with Treasury that covers transactions to ARC. The information in the financial transactions is transmitted to Department of Treasury via the daily ARC Report. See Section 6.1 for the list of transmitted information.

•All database back-ups are saved per the OCIO secure operations procedures for enterprise systems.

•Any printouts by OLG staff is used for administrative purposes and then destroyed.

All information related to the Lender, Broker, Property, Appraisal, Appraiser, Borrower, Co-Borrower, Sponsor and the Loan is collected and entered by the external lending institution and provided to HUD via ONAP-LOS.

/PD&R/RRE.01 Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program Evaluation Data Files.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20140; The Urban Institute, 2100 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037; The SSRS, 53 West Baltimore Pike Media, PA 19063.

The categories of individuals covered by the system will include Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program participants who have agreed to be part of the RAD outcome study.

The categories of records in the system will include the participants name, home address, telephone number, and personal e-mail address.

The authority for the collection of records, and the maintenance of this system is authorized by Sections 501-502 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609), 12 U.S.C. §§ 1701z-1, 1701z-2.

The data collected through this effort will be used to study the impact of the RAD program on residents of impacted public housing properties. RAD is an initiative of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and many stakeholders that seek to preserve public and other HUD-assisted housing, by providing owners and Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) with access to additional funding to make needed physical improvements to such properties. In a tightened budget environment, PHAs and private owners have to make tough choices between repairing roofs and replacing plumbing – or worse, demolishing units altogether – because "of a chronic lack of adequate funding". The public housing inventory currently has a capital needs backlog of $25.6 billion, and the nation continues to lose 10,000 to 15,000 units of affordable housing every year. RAD allows PHAs and private owners to convert public housing and other HUD-assisted properties to long-term project-based Section 8 rental assistance. It also enables them to access private debt and equity to address immediate and long-term capital needs of the projects. Most needed repairs made as part of RAD are likely to be small and residents will be able to stay in their homes during construction. However, some apartments and buildings will require more extensive rehab. In these cases, residents may be temporarily relocated. All tenants who are relocated will have the right to return to their development once construction is completed. Generally, temporary relocation should not last longer than 12 months. In a few cases, a property may be too old or deteriorated, and past the point where it can be effectively rehabilitated, requiring that it be demolished and replaced. In these instances, residents will be provided temporary relocation and will have the right to return to the replacement housing that is constructed. The authorizing statute for the demonstration program requires that HUD assess the extent to which the program meets the goals of preserving and improving former public housing units, and to assess the amount of private capital leveraged as a result of such conversions. The authorizing statute also requires HUD to assess the effect of conversion on residents. In order to track residents as they move from the public housing development, it is necessary to collect their contact information at this point in the program implementation. PII will be collected from a sample of 400 residents of public housing developments participating in HUD’s RAD program who have agreed to be part of an outcomes study, which will allow HUD to understand the impact of this program on the residents of public housing developments that are implementing RAD. In addition, the records collected through this evaluation represent HUD’s effort to be responsive to its Congressional mandate to document and report the impact of the RAD program.

/PD&R/RRE.07 Choice Neighborhoods Evaluation.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington DC 20410; HUD Data Center, Charleston, West Virginia; Urban Institute, 2100 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037, and at the location of the service providers under contract with HUD.

HUD program participants, and other residents (not assisted by HUD) living in Choice Neighborhoods program cities: Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Seattle.

The data sets will contain the following categories of records:

•Responses to baseline survey: Include participants name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email address, demographic data, economic characteristics, educational characteristics, health, subjective well-being, and information about the household member living environment, contact information of a family member or friend who could help locate the survey respondent in the future if they move, and unique study identifier assigned to the program participant.

•Responses to follow-up survey: Include participants name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email addresses, demographic data, economic characteristics, educational characteristics, health, subjective well-being, and information about the household member living environment, contact information of a family member or friend who could help locate the survey respondent in the future if they move. The follow-up survey will collect information very similar to the baseline survey, in order to show how the experience of Choice Neighborhoods residents has changed over time, and unique study identifier assigned to the program participant.

•Administrative data: Include data on households available through HUD administrative data, collections will be brought into the dataset directly from HUD’s Inventory Management System, including information pertaining to the participating family structure, household size, household income, race and demographics, address, and participation in other HUD programs.

•Locational data: Include data such as the address and location of participating household. These data sets will be drawn from a variety of sources, including the National Change of Address database, proprietary databases such as Accurint, and directly from participating households.

Section 502 (g) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609) (12 U.S.C. 1701z-1; 1701z-2(d) and (g)).

The purpose of the Choice Neighborhoods Evaluation is to track the effects of the Choice Neighborhoods program in the five cities: Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Seattle that received implementation grants in 2011. Choice Neighborhoods is meant to transform distressed neighborhoods, with a focus on HUD assisted developments (public housing or project-based section 8). This transformation is intended to help the people living in the targeted developments and surrounding distressed neighborhoods improve their quality of life. The evaluation will track the experiences of a statistical sample of individuals living in five Choice Neighborhoods sites, to determine whether the program improves their quality of life in a variety of dimensions, including employment, education, health, and subjective well-being. This analysis will inform HUD leadership, policymakers, and HUD partners that implement community development programs. The data collected for the Choice Neighborhood Evaluation will be used and stored solely for research purposes, and will not be used to identify individuals or make decisions that affect the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals. The data in this system will include location data, which will be used to analyze the neighborhoods in which people affected by the initiative live. The data in the system will also include information about household composition, income, education, and many quality of life measures, which will be used to analyze the extent to which people’s lives are being improved by the Choice Neighborhoods Program. The data in this system will be analyzed using statistical methods and only reported in the aggregate. Resulting reports will not disclose or identify any individuals or sensitive personal information. The Choice Neighborhoods Evaluation is in direct service of the mission of HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research, which is to "inform policy development and implementation to improve life in American communities through conducting, supporting, and sharing research, surveys, demonstrations, program evaluations, and best practices."

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, HUD may disclose information contained in this system of records:

(1) To a recipient who has provided the agency with advance, adequate written assurance that the record provided from this system of records will be used solely for statistical research or reporting purposes. Records under this condition will be disclosed or transferred in a form that does not identify an individual.

(2) To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, Federal agencies, and non-Federal entities, including, but not limited to, State and local governments, and other research institutions or their parties, and entities and their agents with whom HUD has a contract, service agreement, grant, or cooperative agreement, when necessary to accomplish an agency function, related to this system of records for the purposes of statistical analysis and research in support of program operations, management, performance monitoring, evaluation, risk management, and policy development, or to otherwise support the Department’s mission. Records under this routine use may not be used in whole or in part to make decisions that affect the rights, benefits or privileges of specific individuals. The results of the matched information may not be disclosed in identifiable form.

(3) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

(a) HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

(b) HUD has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft, or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and

(4) Appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent such disclosures are compatible with the purpose for which the records in this system were collected, as set forth by Appendix I, HUD’s Routine Use Inventory notice published in the Federal Register.

/PD&R.01 Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration Evaluation Data Files System (VHPD Data Files).

Silber & Associates, 13067 Twelve Hills Road, Suite B Clarksville, Maryland 21029- 1144; Urban Institute, 2100 M Street NW., Washington, DC 20037.

Persons enrolled in VHPD, the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP), and Veterans Affairs medical service centers.

Some but not all records under this System of Records Notice will be derived from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and the Veteran Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC) records that collect homeless data. Other records, including personal and sensitive information, will be obtained from persons enrolled in VHPD, as follows: name, social security number, participant study unique ID, date of birth, home address, home telephone, and personal email address, as well as names and contact information for up to three friends and/or family members. The dataset will also contain sensitive information, including race/ethnicity, gender, marital status, spouse's name, number of children, income and financial data (earned income, benefit receipt, including Supplementary Social Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and other benefits, and assets), employment history, educational level, medical history and information, disability, criminal record, residential history, homeless program utilization, barriers to housing, and veteran status.

Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970, Section 502 (Pub. L. 91-609; 84 Stat. 1784; 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1 et seq.)

The system of records will enable evaluation of the Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration. The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued by HUD stated that "the evaluation will include an in-depth exploration of programs developed in each of the five sites. " The five sites are: Camp Pendleton (San Diego, CA); Fort Hood (Killeen, TX); Fort Drum (Watertown, NY); Joint Base Lewis-McChord (Tacoma, WA); MacDill Air Force Base (Tampa, FL). The Notice directs the evaluation to focus particular attention "on the structure and effectiveness" of collaboration at the local level between the local Continuum of Care grantee, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Labor. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of homelessness prevention assistance delivered through this demonstration program; outcomes of interest include housing stability, earnings, employment, and access to health services. Further, the evaluation will investigate the unique needs of new cohorts of veterans, especially veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, particular types of veterans, such as female veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserve, military families and veterans with combat- related risk factors. To measure the effectiveness of the program, the evaluation will follow veterans and their families after program completion and ascertain if there have been any improvements in measures of housing stability, self- sufficiency, employment and earnings, family well-being, and health. There will be two types of data files created as part of this evaluation: a Master File will be created that contains personally identifying information but does not contain study data. A Study File will be created that does not contain any personally identifying information. The only variable in both the Master File and the Study File will be a numeric unique study identifier. The Study File will be used for data analysis and will be stored in a separate location from the Master File that contains identifying information. This will enable the Master File to be used for follow-up contacts and for linking data from administrative datasets, while minimizing the risk to confidentiality. The evaluation goal is to collect data to enable analysis, research, and program evaluation to promote better practice and monitoring of outcomes in certain HUD homelessness prevention programs, to assist with resolving complex matters affecting veteran homelessness today.

The proposed routine use disclosures of data in the system are all necessary for, or at least compatible with, the purposes for which the SOR will be created. We propose to establish the following routine use disclosures of information maintained in the system:

1. To a Congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that Congressional office made at the request of the individual to whom the records pertain;

2. To the National Archives and Records Administration or other Federal Records management agency pursuant to records management inspections being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906;

4. To contract researchers, researchers consultants, grantees and their employees authorized to collect, analyze, and write reports about the data as needed to evaluate the effectiveness of prevention homeless assistance efforts; to analyze primary study data with administrative data as needed to track program participants' outcomes as required for the evaluation research; to conducting research and statistical analyses and for writing reports related to the evaluation of HUD programs and demonstrations relevant to this system of records pursuant to an approved data sharing agreement; and

5. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) HUD or a provider of service to HUD suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of the system of records has been compromised; (b) the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

Storage:

Survey and administrative data will be stored on a secure, password-protected network drive. Only personnel authorized by the project director will be given access using technical controls based on access policies administered by the system administrator. Hard copies, including DVDs and other records, are stored in locked cabinets to which only authorized personnel have access.

When used for data analysis, records are retrieved by unique study identifier. To link data from administrative sources to study data records are retrieved by social security number.

Hard copy files are stored in a locked file which can be accessed only by staff who have signed a Staff Confidentiality Pledge. Each data user's permissions will be defined based on the user's role in the project. Study data will be aggregated or de-identified at the highest level possible for each, required, authorized use. Survey and administrative data will be stored on a secure, password-protected network drive. Authorized personnel accessing the data through the survey system will be monitored through a secured restricted access monitoring system, which complies with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Data is protected by endpoint protection, firewall access controls and policies that provide access to authorized personnel only. Full disk encryption and software and client firewall policies are implemented. Authorized uses are allowed access with user name and password. The system resides on locked premises and is accessible only by the system administrator.

All hard copy data files and materials containing personal identifiers will be destroyed within six months of project completion in 2014. The Master File containing personally identifiable information will be destroyed within 6 months of study completion using a method described by the NIST SP 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization" (September 2006). At the end of the contract, dvd(s) and hardcopy records that do not need to be retained will be shredded and the remainder of the files will be shredded after the three-year retention period required in the contract. Stripped electronic data files that do not contain any personally identified information will be retained permanently in accord with 44 U.S.C. 101 and the policies governing retention and disposal of research data in HUD Handbook 2225.6 (Appendices 9 and 67) and HUD Handbook 2229.1.

/PD&R/RRE.02 Family Self-Sufficiency Program Demonstration Data.

MDRC 16 East 34th Street, New York, NY 10016-4326; Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th St. SW., Washington DC 20410; Iron Mountain, 1101 Enterprise Drive, Royersford, PA 19468.

Participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program Demonstration.

The dataset will contain the following categories of records:

1. Output of random assignment process: Identify treatment group status, sample ID and research ID.

2. Responses to baseline information form: This initial survey collects PII, including social security number, full name, date of birth, public housing authority household ID number, address, phone numbers, email addresses, and contact information of family or friends. In addition, it will collect demographic data, family status, household composition, employment status, and income.

3. Responses to follow-up survey: Respondents' subjective assessments of FSS; respondents' experiences with other public housing programs; respondents' earning of degrees and credentials; involvement in education, training, and employment services; respondent and household income; material hardship; family well-being; savings, debt, and financial behaviors; household demographics; housing circumstances and conditions.

4. Administrative data: Data on households available through HUD administrative data collections will be brought into the dataset directly from participating public housing authorities and extracted from HUD's Inventory Management System, including information pertaining to family structure, household size, household assets, household income, total tenant payment and subsidy amount, FSS escrow account eligibility, timing and amount of FSS escrow account contributions, withdrawals from FSS escrow account, eligibility for Section 8 housing, residence status in public housing, and participation in other HUD programs.

5. Management information system data: When necessary, each study site will include information about FSS pre-employment, education, and training services providers will be collected, including service type, service referral, start and end dates, end reason, degree/credential receipt, and supportive services payment types.

6. Data from State Unemployment Insurance systems and other administrative systems outside of HUD: In addition to the data collected through the follow-up survey, the FSS Demonstration Data will also include quarterly data drawn from the Unemployment Insurance (UI) system on employment, earnings, and UI benefit receipt. It may also include data on receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) benefits collected from the responsible entities in each study site.

Section 502(g) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609) (12 U.S.C. 1701z-1; 1701z-2(d) and (g)).

The purpose of the FSS Demonstration is to evaluate the impact of the FSS program. The FSS Demonstration is a random-assignment study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. FSS has operated since 1992 and serves voucher holders and residents of public housing. The FSS program offers participants case management plus an escrow account in which they must deposit a proportion of any increased earnings during the time they stay in the program. The FSS program aims to help participants increase their earnings. To date, HUD previously funded two studies of the FSS program, but neither can tell us how well families would have done in the absence of the program. The FSS Demonstration will compare FSS participants to nonparticipants in terms of employment, earnings and housing stability over several years. Because participants and non-participants will be randomly assigned instead of self-selected, the FSS Demonstration findings will allow us to attribute participant gains to the impact of the program. This study will provide critical information for developing policies that truly support families toward self-sufficiency. The findings of the FSS Demonstration can inform decisions about the modification or expansion of the FSS program. Furthermore, the FSS Demonstration is in direct service of the mission of HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research, which is to "inform policy development and implementation to improve life in American communities through conducting, supporting, and sharing research, surveys, demonstrations, program evaluations, and best practices." In sum, the purposes of the FSS Demonstration are (1) to find out if the FSS program helps families achieve self-sufficiency and (2) to provide policy makers with insight into how policy can best help families achieve self-sufficiency.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, HUD may disclose information contained in this system of records without the consent of the subject individual in accordance with the following discretionary disclosures set forth by the Federal Register Notice "HUD's Routine Use Inventory" [Docket No. FR-5613-N-07] published on 7/17/2012 [1] when such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was collected, providing that approval is obtained from the system manager. Routine uses applicable to the FSS Demonstration Data System include:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is undertaking an evaluation of the Impacts of Housing and Services Interventions for Homeless Families, also known as the Family Options Study, to provide research evidence to help federal policymakers, community planners, and local practitioners make sound decisions about the best ways to address homelessness among families. This study will compare four combinations of housing and service interventions for homeless families in a rigorous, multi-site experiment, to determine what interventions work best to promote family stability and well-being and, within the limits of statistical power, what sorts of families benefit most from each intervention. The interventions are: (1) Permanent housing subsidy without services (Subsidy Only); (2) Community-Based Rapid Re-housing (CBRR), consisting of temporary housing subsidy provided in conventional housing with limited supportive services; (3) temporary housing subsidy provided in facility-based housing with intensive services but no guarantee of a permanent subsidy (Project-Based Transitional Housing-PBTH); and (4) shelter, with whatever services the shelter ordinarily provides to its residents and any other assistance available in the community (Usual Care). The information collected is necessary to identify and track the participating families over the course of the study and determine the effectiveness of the interventions. The random assignment data file within this system will include personal identifiers that can be used to locate records to update familiesâ€™ whereabouts or to verify if a family has already been enrolled in the study. After data collection is complete, researchers will use a dataset that is stripped of identifying information for all analyses. Analysis records will be identified with a randomly generated study identification number that is unrelated to personal information such as SSN, DOB, or name. The study identifier can be linked to the personal identifying information only by a small number of central research staff at Abt Associates. At the end of the 36-month follow-up, HUD staff will be provided with the identifiers only for families who gave consent to participate in the 36-month follow-up. Thus, authorized HUD research staff would also be able to link the study identifier to personal identifying information.

To authorized Abt SRBI researchers to match primary study data with other datasets for tracking (e.g., matching with change of address databases) to track and locate families throughout the study and to manage the data collection process.

To authorized Abt researchers to: (1) Access and link data from one phase of data collection to another or to match primary study data with other datasets for data collection purposes (e.g., matching with HUDâ€™s public housing dataset to measure housing receipt); (2) perform statistical Analysis and to develop findings for this research study; (3) and Create both a public use file of non-identifiable data and a more-detailed restricted access file of non-identifiable data for disclosure to authorized researchers for other purposes.

To other authorized HUD researchers that HUD funds to further study the impacts of the housing and services interventions that are the focus of this study (community based rapid rehousing, project-based transitional housing, permanent subsidy and usual care) and additional ways each can be used to address homelessness.

Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, 295 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10012. The storage and archival facility for the Rent Reform Demonstration data files is located at Datacenter/Windstream, 15 Shattuck Road Andover, MA 01810.

The categories of individuals covered by this system will include all household members enrolled in the Rent Reform Demonstration.

The categories of records in the system will include the participants name, home address, telephone numbers, personal e-mail address, Social Security Number, date of birth, marital status, citizenship status, rental housing assistance status and history, date of birth and relationship code for minors, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) status, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) status, income, savings level, debt level, educational attainment, employment status, childcare costs, health insurance status, and employment impediments.

The authority for the collection of records, and the maintenance of this system is authorized by Sections 501-502 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-609), 12 U.S.C. "" 1701z-1, 1701z-2.

The purpose of the Rent Reform Demonstration SORN is to allow the Department to collect, track, and study information gathered on HCV program participants, and to analyze the overall effectiveness of existing programs and policies to examine the impact on HCV program families. In order to study the sample of up to 9,000 families participating in the Demonstration, it is necessary to collect their contact information and other personal identifying information with their consent so that the Department can match study participants with various forms of administrative data for the purpose of conducting statistical analysis and presenting aggregate analysis of impacts of the alternative rent model on the study sample. In addition, the records collected through this evaluation represent HUD"s effort to assess and report to Congress on the performance and impact of this Demonstration. The Department is conducting this study under contract with MDRC and its subcontractors (Branch Associates, The Bronner Group, Quadel Consulting Corporation, and the Urban Institute). The intent of the demonstration is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact that the alternative rent system has on families, as well as understand the administrative burden on Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). The Rent Reform Demonstration will rely on multiple data sources. The evaluation will include a careful assessment of the implementation, impacts, and cost of the new policy already developed by four PHAs in different parts of the country. The project is a random assignment trial of an alternative rent system. Families will be randomly assigned to either participate in the new/alternative rent system or to continue in the current system. PHAs currently participating in the MTW Demonstration are being recruited to participate in this demonstration. Data collection will include the study sample of up to 9,000 families that are part of the treatment and control groups. The work covered under this information request is for the baseline survey. The Rent Reform demonstration is structured around a two-group random assignment study. Using this design, up to 9,000 households will be recruited and randomly allocated to the program group or control group, each of which will include up to 4,500 households. Four PHAs have agreed to participate in this demonstration project: (1) Lexington Housing Authority, Kentucky; (2) Louisville Metro Housing Authority, Kentucky; (3) San Antonio Housing Authority, Texas; and (4) District of Columbia Housing Authority, District of Columbia.

The fundamental goals of the proposed study are:

Increase work effort and reported earnings of families

Serve more families

Ideally, the alternative rent model would yield at least as much income to the PHAs as the current system and would allow administrative savings as well. This would allow them to serve at least the same number of families and continue to meet the goal of preventing (or reducing) homelessness and minimizing rent burden. In addition, the incentive to underreport income would be reduced significantly. In order to measure the impact of the alternative rent model the Department needs to be able to track the study sample of up to 9,000 families to obtain data related to employment, earnings, and hardship outcomes.

To conduct an outcome evaluation study on the outcomes realized by clients of HUD-funded Housing Counseling Agencies seeking assistance to either purchase a home (pre-purchase clients) or to resolve or prevent a mortgage delinquency (foreclosure mitigation clients). The study is designed to gather statistically accurate information on outcomes realized by the clients of the participating housing counseling agencies. The study focuses on two groups of clients: (1) Clients seeking assistance to purchase a home (pre-purchase clients) and (2) clients seeking to resolve or prevent a mortgage delinquency (foreclosure mitigation clients). Up to Thirty housing counseling agencies at random will be recruited to participate in this study. The selected agencies will provide samples of data from each of the two groups, selected. The data collected through the study will support analysis of not just the frequency of different client outcomes, but also the association between these outcomes and client characteristics, client circumstances, and the extent of services received. Additionally, the proposed study will fulfill two important needs for HUD and the counseling field. First, it will provide systematic information on the outcomes realized by counseling clients and how these outcomes vary with the characteristics or clients and the services they receive. The study will also lay the groundwork for a subsequent pre-purchase impact evaluation by testing data collection procedures to be used to enroll clients, gather information on the characteristics of the services they receive, and track them over time.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. A.

Sec. 501, 502, Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-609), 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1, 1701z-2.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is undertaking an evaluation of the Impacts of Housing and Services Interventions for Homeless Families to provide research evidence to help federal policymakers, community planners, and local practitioners make sound decisions about the best ways to address homelessness among families. This study will compare four combinations of housing and service interventions for homeless families in a rigorous, multi-site experiment, to determine what interventions work best to promote family stability and well-being and, within the limits of statistical power, what sorts of families benefit most from each intervention. The interventions are: (1) Permanent housing subsidy without services (Subsidy Only); (2) Community- Based Rapid Re-housing (CBRR), consisting of temporary housing subsidy provided in conventional housing with limited supportive services; (3) temporary housing subsidy provided in facility-based housing with intensive services but no guarantee of a permanent subsidy (Project- Based Transitional Housing-PBTH); and (4) shelter, with whatever services the shelter ordinarily provides to its residents and any other assistance available in the community (Usual Care). This study will also exploit naturally occurring variation in program features within these categories and across sites to explore, non-experimentally, what features of programs seem most responsible for success.

ߦ Authorized AbtSRBI researchers will collect the data from participating families and will match these primary study data with other datasets for tracking (e.g., matching with change of address databases) to track and locate families throughout the study and to manage the data collection process.

ߦ A limited number of authorized Abt researchers will access personally identifying information to link data from one phase of data collection to another or to match primary study data with other datasets for data collection purposes (e.g., matching with HUD's public housing dataset to measure housing receipt).

ߦ Authorized Abt researchers will also use the data for statistical analysis and to develop findings for this research study.

ߦ Authorized Abt researchers may use the data to create a public use file of non- identifiable data for disclosure to authorized researchers for other purposes. The Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information.

ߦ If the Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; or if the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; than the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

Each data user's permissions will be defined based on the user's role on the project. For example, the local site interviewer will be able to review data for study participants only for his or her own specific site.Study data will be aggregated or de-identified at the highest level possible for each required, authorized use.

Abt Associates will not use or disclose the data for any purposes other than for the "The Impacts of Housing and Services Interventions for Homeless Families" study ("Homeless Families Study") or related follow-up studies. Abt Associates will not disclose the data to additional parties without the written authority of the providing organization, except where required by law.

The following safeguards shall be used to secure data in storage, retrieval, during access, and disposal.

ߦ All personal data (identifiable and de-identified data analyses files) will be encrypted and maintained on a secure workstation or server that is protected by a firewall, complex passwords, and multi-authentication factors, in a directory that can only be accessed by the network administrators and the analysts actively working on the data.

ߦ Data on the secure server will be encrypted using an industry standard algorithm incorporating at least 128-bit encryption. The decryption key will only be known to analysts actively working with the data.

ߦ Separate data files will be maintained for each questionnaire and for identifying information. Data files used for analysis will be stored in a separate location from files with identifying information to minimize the risk that an unauthorized user could use the unique identification number to link de-identified files with the identifiers. The unique identification number will be protected through multi-mode authentication, in addition to encryption technologies.

ߦ Access rights to the data are granted to limited researchers on a need-to-know basis, and the level of access provided to each researcher is based on the minimal level required that individual to fulfill his research role.

ߦ Abt Associates will backup the data on a regular basis to safeguard against system failures or disasters. Only encrypted versions of the data will be copied to the backup media. Unencrypted data will never be stored on a laptop or on a movable media such as CDs, diskettes, or USB flash drives.

ߦ If an authorized researcher leaves employment or is no longer working on this project, their user ID and access will be terminated within one day, as will VPN access. These steps will be documented as part of termination process.

ߦ The site interviewers will securely store any hard copy documents with personal protected information, such as signed consent forms, tracking letters, or interview appointment schedules.

Consent Forms. After the family signs the informed consent form, the site interviewers will seal the form in an envelope at the conclusion of the interview. Envelopes will be stored in a box in the trunk of the interviewer's car until the interviewer returns home. Once home, the interviewers will complete all necessary paperwork and will submit the completed surveys to the Abt Project Director via FedEx signature required.

Tracking documentation. Each site interviewer must store any tracking letters, appointment schedules, or other documentation with personal protected information, such as name, in a locked cabinet that can only be accessed by the interviewer. Tracking documentation with personal protected information should not be generated until needed in the tracking process to limit risk of unauthorized disclosures. Site interviewers should use study IDs in lieu of personal protected information on tracking documentation whenever feasible to limit risk of unauthorized disclosures.

Hard copy forms that are no longer needed for the study will be shredded. If site interviewers do not have access to a paper shredder, they will submit the paperwork to the Abt Project Director via FedEx with clear instructions to destroy the documents upon receipt.

The random assignment datafile within this system will include personal identifiers that can be used to locate records to update families' whereabouts or to verify if a family has already been enrolled in the study. Records within the random assignment datafile can be retrieved by name, social security number, study identification number, birthdate, or spouse name.

After data collection is complete, researchers will use a dataset that is stripped of identifying information for all analyses, with the exception of a unique study identification number assigned to each participating family. The study identification number will be randomly generated at the time of random assignment and will be unrelated to personal information such as SSN, DOB, or name. The study identifier can be linked to the personal identifying information but only by a small number of central research staff at Abt Associates.

PII will be maintained only as long as required and only under conditions specified in the study protocol. Upon completion of all research for the Homeless Families study, Abt Associates will permanently destroy of all electronic personally-identifiable information on the working server using one of the methods described by the NIST SP 800-88.

"Guidelines for Media Sanitization" (September 2006). Encrypted versions of the data may remain on backup media for a longer period of time, but will be similarly permanently destroyed.

At the end of the contract, records that do not need to be retained will be shredded and the remainder of the files will be shredded after the three-year retention period required in the contract. The retention and disposal procedures are in keeping with HUD's records management policies as described in HUD Records Disposition Schedules (2225.6) Appendix 67.

/PD&R/RRE.03 Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless Families Data Files.

Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless Families Data Files are to be located at Abt Associates Inc., 55 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, MA; Abt Associates Inc., 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, MD; and the AT&T Datacenter, 15 Enterprise Ave., Secaucus, NJ 07094.

Families enrolled in RRHFD.

Name; Social Security Number; study identifier; birth date; contact information (home address, telephone numbers, e-mail address); demographic characteristics of the family head (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, marital status); number of children and other adults in the household (a roster of adults and children with the family head at baseline and spouse/partner and children not with the family head at baseline, and characteristics of these family members); income sources and total family income; employment and earnings for the family head; current housing conditions, rent and rental assistance received; housing history since program completion; barriers to housing; homeless program participation; contact information for landlord, family and friends; and study tracking information.

Sec. 501, 502, Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-609), 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1, 1701z-2.

The FY 2008 budget for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.R. 2764) included a $25 million set-aside to implement a Rapid Re-housing for Families Demonstration Program "expressly for the purposes of providing housing and services to homeless families." Also included in the legislation was a requirement that there be an evaluation of the demonstration program "in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the rapid re-housing approach in addressing the needs of homeless families." The underlying presumption of the rapid re-housing program posits that providers, through the use of an assessment tool they have developed for the program, will be able to predict with considerable confidence which homeless families, with a minimum amount of housing and supportive services, will be able to achieve housing stability and self-sufficiency at the conclusion of the program. In order to measure the efficacy of the program, HUD will seek to enroll approximately 1,200 participating families into the outcomes evaluation. A follow-up survey will be administered to each participating family 12 months after completion of the program. The survey will collect data related to housing stability; self-sufficiency; employment and earnings; family well-being; and health.

• Authorized Abt/SRBI staff will use the data files in the Web-based study contact database to track study participants and locate participants for 12-month follow-up interviews. Staff will use the data files to match with other datasets for tracking purposes, such as change of address and credit bureau databases.

• A limited number of authorized Abt researchers will access personally identifying information to link data from one phase of data collection to another or to match primary study data with other datasets for data collection purposes (e.g., matching records from primary data collection with local Homeless management Information Systems (HMIS) administrative data).

• Authorized Abt researchers will also use the data for statistical analysis and to develop findings for this research study.

• Authorized Abt researchers may use the data to create a public use file of non- identifiable data for disclosure to authorized researchers for other purposes.

• If the Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; or if the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the HUD or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; then the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the HUD's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

Each data user's permissions will be defined based on the user's role on the project. For example, the local site interviewer will be able to review data for study participants only for his or her own specific site. Study data will be aggregated or de-identified at the highest level possible for each required, authorized use.

Abt Associates will not use or disclose the data for any purposes other than for the "The Evaluation of the Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program." Abt Associates will not disclose the data to additional parties without the written authority of the providing organization, except where required by law.

The following safeguards shall be used to secure data in storage, retrieval, during access, and disposal.

• The site interviewers will securely store any hard copy documents with personal protected information, such as signed consent forms, tracking letters, or interview appointment schedules.

Consent Forms. The participation agreement/informed consent and contact information form will be a paper form. After the family signs the informed consent form, the RRHD program staff person will record the participant's contact information in the secure, Web-based study contact database. After the contact information is recorded, the hard copy form will be placed within a sealed envelope and stored temporarily in a locked cabinet in a secure physical location within the RRHD program's administrative office. (If the contact information cannot be immediately recorded in the database, the RRHD program staff will store the signed form in the designated locked cabinet until the staff person is able to record the data. Alternatively, the program can submit the signed form to the Abt Director of Analysis, and Abt research staff can enter the contact information into the study contact database.)

Tracking documentation. The site interviewer will store any tracking letters, appointment schedules, or other documentation with personal protected information, such as name, in a locked cabinet that can only be accessed by the interviewer. Tracking documentation with personal protected information should not be generated until needed in the tracking process to limit risk of unauthorized disclosures. Site interviewers should use study IDs in lieu of personal protected information on tracking documentation whenever feasible to limit risk of unauthorized disclosures.

Hard copy forms that are no longer needed for the study will be shredded. If site interviewers do not have access to a paper shredder, they will submit the paperwork to the Abt Director of Analysis via FedEx with clear instructions to destroy the documents upon receipt.

The contact database will include personal identifiers that can be used to locate records to update families' whereabouts during the tracking period. Records within the contact database can be retrieved by name, social security number, study identification number, birthdate, or spouse name.

PII will be maintained only as long as required and only under conditions specified in the study protocol. Upon completion of all research for The Evaluation of the Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program, Abt Associates will permanently destroy all electronic personally-identifiable information on the working server using one of the methods described by the NIST SP 800-88 "Guidelines for Media Sanitization" (September 2006).

IMS/PIC serves as a national repository of information related to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHE), HUD-assisted families, HUD-assisted properties, and other HUD programs, for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of PIH rental housing assistance programs. IMS/PIC allows PHAs, TDHEs, and their-hired management agents to electronically submit information to HUD that is related to the administration of HUD's PIH programs. It collects data for PIH operations, including data submitted via the Internet from HUD's field offices, and accurately tracks activities and processes. IMS/PIC also helps to increase sharing of information throughout PIH and HUD, which improves staff awareness of activities related to the administration of HUD-subsidized housing programs. IMS/PIC is a flexible, scalable, internet-based integrated system, which enables PHA and TDHE users, and HUD personnel to access a common database via their web browser. IMS/PIC aids HUD and entities that administer HUD's assisted housing programs in: (a) Increasing the effective distribution of rental assistance to individuals that meet the requirements of federal rental assistance programs; (b) detecting abuses in assisted housing programs; (c) taking administrative or legal actions to resolve past and current abuses of assisted housing programs; (d) monitoring compliance with HUD program requirements; (e) deterring abuses by verifying the employment and income of tenants at the time of annual and interim reexaminations of family income and composition via the PIH Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system; (f) evaluating program effectiveness; (g) improving PHA and TDHE IMS/PIC reporting rates; (h) forecasting budgets; (i) controlling funds; (j) updating tenant information; and (k) updating building and unit data.

Through a collaborative effort, HUD and the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) seek to advance the goals of the nation's federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness of veterans through the collection, analysis, and reporting of quality and timely data on veterans' homelessness. HUD will use the data provided by VA to track a veteran's use of available HUD and VA resources to secure affordable rental housing; as well as monitor administration of the HUD-VASH program by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and PHA-hired management agents. HUD will compare VA-provided data related to the HUD -VASH program to data maintained in HUD's system of records, the Inventory Management System, also known as the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) (referred hereinafter as IMS/PIC), HUD/PIH.01 for the purpose of assisting HUD and VA with the following: (1) Reducing homelessness among the nation's veterans; (2) identifying and understanding the needs of homeless veterans and developing programs and services to address those needs; (3) effectively administering the HUD-VASH program by HUD and VA business partners; (4) monitoring and evaluating the HUD-VASH program; and 5) producing aggregate statistical data without any personal identifiers, precluding the use of this data to make decisions concerning the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals, or providers of services with respect to assistance provided under the HUD-VASH program.

/PIH-5 Enterprise Income Verification (EIV).

The files are maintained at the following locations:

1. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; and

2. Lockheed Martin Corporation, located at 4701 Forbes Blvd., Lanham, MD 20706, will monitor access of any encrypted files containing social security and rent information (subject to the provisions of 26 U.S.C. 6103).

Families receiving rental housing assistance (now including Disaster Housing Assistance) via programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Tribally Designated Housing Entities participating in the Section 8 program, PHAs and/or O/As and State agencies and PHAs acting as CAs.

Records consist of unit address (subsidized property address), family composition, and income data obtained from PHAs and O/As. The system of records contains: Identification information such as names, dates of birth and SSNs for individuals; addresses; financial data such as tenant-reported income; employment, wage, and unemployment benefit data obtained from HHS and SS and SSI benefit data obtained from the SSA; annual income discrepancies as a result of the comparison of tenant-reported income to actual income as reported by the HHS and SSA; failed identity verification report; multiple subsidies report, which identifies families who may be receiving multiple rental assistance in various HUD rental assistance program; new hires report, which identifies family members who have started a new job; deceased tenants report, which identifies family members who are deceased. Effective September 2009, PIH's EIV system will contain the following new records: Repository of debts owed to PHAs and adverse terminations of former program participants, as reported to HUD by program administrators; and an immigration report, which will identify the immigration status of program participants as reported by PHAs.

Pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 1988, as amended, and Section 303(i) of the Social Security Act, HUD and HUD-funded PHAs may request wage and claim data from State Wage Information Collection Agencies (SWICAs), also now known as State Workforce Agencies (SWAs), responsible for administering State unemployment laws.

On October 1, 1994, Section 542(a)(1) of HUD's 1998 Appropriation Act, eliminated a sunset provision to Section 303(i) of the Social Security Act, effectively making permanent the authority requiring State agencies to disclose wage and claim information to HUD and PHAs. On January 23, 2004, Section 453(j) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 653(j)) was amended to allow HUD to obtain income information from the (National Directory of New Hires) NDNH database (owned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)) and disclose this information to PHAs for the purpose of verifying employment and income of rental housing program participants. HUD may disclose NDNH data to a private owner, management agent, and contract administrator under contract with HUD based on (1) an evaluation of the costs and benefits of disclosures made to PHAs, and (2) the adequacy of measures used to safeguard the security and confidentiality of information so disclosed. Disclosure of NDNH data to O/As and CAs is only as needed for verifying the employment and income of multifamily housing program participants. On March 11, 2009, Section 239 of HUD's 2009 Appropriations Act modified Section 904 of the Stewart B. Mckinney Act of 1988, as amended, to include the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) as a "program" of HUD for the purpose of income verifications and computer matching. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 authorizes HUD to require applicants for and participants in HUD-administered rental housing assistance programs to disclose to HUD their SSNs as a condition of initial or continued eligibility for participation in these HUD programs. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Budget Reconciliation Act) authorizes HUD to request from SSA Federal tax data, as prescribed in section 6103(l)(7) of title 26 of the United States Code (Internal Revenue Code).

The primary purpose of EIV is to allow PHAs, O/As, and CAs to verify tenant-reported income, identify unreported income sources and/or amounts received by program participants, and identify substantial annual income discrepancies amongst households that receive HUD-provided rental assistance through programs administered by PIH and Housing. The first release of EIV was successfully implemented on August 16, 2004. EIV is a simple, Internet-based integrated system, which enables PHA users, HUD personnel, O/As, and CAs to access a database of tenant information via their Web browser. EIV will aid HUD and entities that administer HUD's assisted housing programs in: (a) Increasing the effective distribution of rental assistance to individuals that meet the requirements of Federal rental assistance programs, (b) detecting abuses in assisted housing programs, (c) taking administrative or legal actions to resolve past and current abuses of assisted housing programs, (d) deterring abuses by verifying the income of tenants at the time of annual and interim reexaminations via the use of electronic income data received from the HHS and SSA, (e) evaluating the effectiveness of income discrepancy resolution actions taken by PHAs, O/As and CAs for some of HUD's rental assistance programs, and (f) reducing administrative burden of obtaining written or oral third party verification (when the tenant does not dispute information provided by EIV. EIV is a management information system that contains tools to help: (1) Improve the income verification process, (2) monitor incidents of potential tenant under reporting of household income, (3) produce management reports, (4) reduce duplicate rental assistance, (5) reduce overpayment of housing assistance payments of deceased single member households, and (6) conduct risk assessments. The EIV system serves as a repository for automated information used when comparing family income data reported by recipients of Federal rental assistance to income data received from external sources ( e.g., HHS and SSA). Records in TRACS, IMS, and EIV are subject to use in authorized and approved computer matching programs regulated under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.

In addition to the uses cited in the section of this document titled "Purposes", other routine uses may include:

8. To the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): to identify existing families which participate in a HUD rental assistance program and are currently receiving housing assistance. HUD may provide FEMA with the following information about the HUD-assisted family: (1) The PHA name, address and contact information currently assisting the family, (2) the effective date of the last transaction the PHA conducted with the family; (3) family composition information, including household member names and date of births; and any other information from the form HUD-50058, which may assist FEMA in determining eligibility of assistance.

9. Additional Disclosure for Purposes of Facilitating Responses and Remediation Efforts in the Event of a Data Breach. A record from a system of records maintained by this Department may be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:

1. The Department suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in a system of records has been compromised;

2. The Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of systems or programs (whether maintained by the Department or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and,

3. The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the Department's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

/PIH-REAC/PE.01 Tracking-at-a-Glance (TAAG)

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington DC 20410

DHAP participants who were displaced by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, who received rental subsidy through the DHAP and agreed to all program requirements including case management.

Files contain identifying information about program participants: and their household members at the time of program implementation: such as name, social security number, FEMA ID number of the eligible head of household member, birth date, current telephone number, and current address. The files hold sensitive information about education level, criminal records, income/financial data, employment and training, disability status, medical history information, and information that were used to assess any barriers to permanent housing attainment and/or increased self- sufficiency.

Legal authority for the data maintained in DHAP is based on the Department of Homeland Security's general grant authority under section 102(b)(2) of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 112, and sections 408(b)(1), 426 and 306(a) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5174(b)(1), 5189d and 5149(a), respectively.

The data was collected to support DHAP grantees in their case management efforts and HUD staff in their program monitoring activities in order to provide required reports to FEMA in fulfillment of its responsibilities outlined within the Inter Agency Agreement. The case management and program monitoring activities for DHAP ended February 28, 2009. Subsequently, the DHAP data still requires further analysis and evaluation by the Department's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), Program Management and Research Division to conduct research and evaluation of national program outcomes. In such cases, PD&R and its approved researchers will further evaluate the data presented by DHAP to produce research reports that will include aggregate level data based on higher level demographic variables that will not disclose information that can be used to identify any individual represented in the system. The records stored hold pertinent data relating to family self-sufficiency, permanent housing status and service needs. The system was procured through contract number: C-DEN-02199 and allowed DHAP grantees to implement and report case management services for FEMA's DHAP- Ike program, for which HUD was the servicing agent. This system and grantee data inputs assisted with the implementation and administration of rental housing assistance and case management services to individuals and families whose residence was rendered uninhabitable as a result of the disaster caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, HUD may disclose information contained in this system of records without the consent of the subject individual if the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was collected under the following routine use:

1. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, Federal agencies, and non-Federal entities including but not limited to state and local governments, and other research institutions or their parties entities and their agents with whom HUD has a contract, service agreement, grant, cooperative agreement with HUD, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to a system of records for the purposes of statistical analysis and research in support of program operations, management, performance monitoring, evaluation, risk management, and policy development, or to otherwise support the Department's mission. Records under this routine use may not be used in whole or in part to make decisions that affect the rights, benefits or privileges of specific individuals. The results of the matched information may not be disclosed in identifiable form. Any data presented will be provided at the aggregate level.

/PIH-REAC/PE.02 Efforts to Outcome Case Management Tracking System for DHAP-Ike.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410.

DHAP- Ike participants displaced by hurricanes Gustav and Ike. All family members who were deemed eligible to participate in the DHAP- Ike program by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Files contain identifying information about program participants and their household members at program implementation including: name, social security number, FEMA ID number of the eligible head of household member, birth date, current telephone number and current address. The files hold sensitive information about education level, race/ethnicity, gender/sex, employment and training needs, elderly and disabled status, social service needs and service referrals. Information regarding education level, criminal records, income/financial data, employment and training, disability status, medical history information, and social service needs as information that were used to assess any barriers to permanent housing attainment and/or increased self-sufficiency.

Legal authority for DHAP is based on the Department of Homeland Security's general grant authority under section 102(b)(2) of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 112, and sections 408(b)(1), 426 and 306(a) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C.5174(b)(1), § 5189d and § 5149(a), and HUD's 2009 Appropriations Act modified Section 904 of the Stewart B. McKinney Act of 1988, as amended, to include Disaster Housing Assistance Program Ike (DHAP-Ike) as a "program" of HUD, respectively.

ETO captured pertinent data relating to family self-sufficiency, permanent housing status and service needs. The data for ETO was collected to support DHAP-Ike grantees in their case management efforts and HUD staff in their program monitoring activities and providing required reports to FEMA in fulfillment of its responsibilities outlined within the Inter Agency Agreement (IAA). The case manager used this information to identify appropriate service referrals, to help prepare clients for the end of DHAP- Ike case management which occurred on September 30, 2011. As such, the DHAP-Ike still requires further analysis and evaluation by the Department's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), Program Management and Research Division to allow research and evaluation of the national program outcomes. In such cases, PD&R and its approved researchers will further evaluate the data presented by DHAP- Ike to produce research reports. These reports will include aggregate level data based on higher level demographic variables that will not disclose information that can be used to identify any individual represented in the data retained by HUD. The records stored hold pertinent data records relating to family self-sufficiency, permanent housing status and service needs. The system was procured through contract number: C-DEN-02332 which allowed grantees to implement and report case management services for FEMA's DHAP- Ike program, for which HUD was the servicing agent. The system and data input by grantees assisted with the administration of rental housing assistance and case management services to individuals and families whose residences were rendered uninhabitable as a result of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The data stored in this system of record may be used for research and statistical purposes. In such cases, data presented in any research report will be aggregated to a level that does not disclose information that can be used to identify any individual represented in the system.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, HUD may disclose information contained in this system of records without the consent of the subject individual if the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was collected under the following routine use:

/REAC-2 Independent Public Accountant Quality Assurance Files.

Headquarters.

All independent public accountants who have conducted audits of PHAs or FHA-insured, direct loan, HUD-held or assisted multifamily properties under HUD programs. An independent public accountant is defined as (a) a licensed, certified public accountant or a person working for a licensed certified public accounting firm, or (b) a public accountant licensed on or before December 31, 1970, or a person working for a public accounting firm licensed on or before December 31, 1970. The system also contains information by individual name of the REAC auditors conducting the QAR, and may contain memorandums of the QAR results sent to HUD program officials.

The system contains the names and ID numbers of REAC auditors, and of IPAs who perform audits of PHAs or FHA-insured, direct loan, HUD-held, or assisted multifamily properties under HUD programs. Records consist of materials generated in connection with quality assurance reviews of the working papers of IPAs including information from the FDS and the AFS submitted to HUD. These materials include QAR checklists, documentation of work performed by REAC auditors in evaluating the work of the IPA, interviews with IPAs, correspondence between REAC auditors and the IPA, and copies of work papers from IPA files and other documents used in evaluating an IPA's work performance to assure compliance with government and AICPA auditing standards. Other records include information regarding the planning, conduct and results of the QAR, trend analyses, internal legal assistance requests, information requests, responses to such requests, reports of findings, etc.

OMB Circular A-133 (the Single Audit Act) requires that PHAs and non-profit organizations receiving federal funds obtain an IPA- performed audit. The AICPA has issued Statements of Position (SOP) 98-3 "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Not-for-Profit Organizations Receiving Federal Awards" to address the additional requirements of government auditing standards. Additional guidance is offered in the HUD Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs, HUD Handbook 2000.04 REV -2.

REAC performs a quality assurance review of the audited financial statements submitted by IPAs in order to assure that the information contained in the financial statements is accurate and reliable and that the IPA's work was performed in accordance with government and AICPA auditing standards. In the event that records generated during the QAR process indicate a violation or potential violation of law, the relevant records may be disclosed to the appropriate federal, state or local disciplinary forum, or the AICPA, for investigation or enforcement of the applicable laws.

1. In the event that records indicate a violation or potential violation of law, whether criminal, civil or regulatory in nature, the relevant records may be disclosed to the appropriate federal, state, or local agency charged with the responsibility for investigating or prosecuting such violation or enforcing or implementing such statute, rule or regulation.

2. Records may be disclosed to a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of the individual who is the subject of the records.

3. Records may be disclosed to HUD contractors, PHAs or management agents of HUD-assisted housing properties, in order to assist such entities in taking action to recover money or property, where such recovery serves to promote the integrity of the programs or operations of HUD.

4. Records may be disclosed during the course of an administrative proceeding where HUD is a party to the litigation and the disclosure is relevant, reasonable and necessary to adjudicate the matter.

5. Records may be disclosed to appropriate state boards of accountancy, or the AICPA, for possible administrative or disciplinary sanctions such as license revocation. These referrals will be made only after the IPA has been notified that HUD is contemplating disclosure of its findings to an appropriate state board of accountancy, or the AICPA, and the IPA has been provided with an opportunity to respond in writing to HUD's findings.

6. Records may be disclosed to the Department of Justice for litigation purposes associated with the representation of HUD before the courts.

7. Records may be disclosed to any source, either private or governmental, to the extent necessary to elicit information relevant to an Office of Inspector General investigation.

8. Records may be disclosed to the auditee to evaluate the contractual relationship between the IPA and the PHA, owner or management agent of a FHA-insured, direct loan, HUD-held or assisted multifamily property.

Storage:

Records are stored electronically in office automation equipment and manually in file jackets.

Records may be retrieved by computer search using the AutoAudit software, and/or by reference to a particular file number, or by name, address, tax identification number or social security number of the IPA.

Records are maintained in a secure computer network, and in locked file cabinets or in metal file cabinets in rooms with controlled access.

The records are retained and disposed of in accordance with the General Records Schedule contained in HUD Handbook 2228.2, appendix 14, item 25.

The system maintains data submitted to Ginnie Mae by issuers who issue securities backed by insured or guaranteed mortgage loans, mainly those administered for HUD's Federal Housing Administration or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The data housed in the system is necessary to support the pooling process by which eligible issuers create Ginnie Mae-guaranteed MBS. The system also captures security-level data that is created for the purposes of disclosure, and security holder information that is used to ensure timely payment of a pro rata share of the principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans in a security, net of servicing and guaranty fees, to MBS investors. If Ginnie Mae defaults and extinguishes an issuer, then one of Ginnie Mae's functions as guarantor of securities will be to begin servicing the mortgage loans. Ginnie Mae must collect borrower SSNs so that it may, if it extinguishes an issuer and begins to service the mortgage loans, comply with IRS reporting requirements, including the requirement to provide the IRS and borrowers with information returns regarding interest received on which Ginnie Mae must identify the borrower SSNs.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act (Accordingly, discretionary disclosures that may apply to EWODS [1]), other routine uses are as follows:

[1] http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=append1.pdf.

(a) To the public for the purpose of achieving a fair and open market in Ginnie Mae-guaranteed single and multiclass securities by making information available to investors that should lead to greater investor confidence and more accurate pricing on these securities that could decrease the cost of individual borrowing. In all cases, the public will access on Ginnie Mae's Web site a public use file that will be maintained for such purposes and will only contain [de-identified] data that is structured to protect borrower and co-borrower confidentiality where identities may be discerned. The authority for this routine use is Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a and the SORN when published to establish the routine use.

(b) To other Federal agencies to ascertain if the loan is insured or guaranteed by a Federal agency under an eligible insuring or guaranteeing authority. The authority for this routine use is Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a and the SORN when published to establish the routine use.

(c) To the Internal Revenue Service and to state and local governments--for reporting payments for interest. The authority is Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 26 U.S.C. 6109, 26 CFR 1.6049-4, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the SORN when published to establish the routine use.

Sec. 501, 502, Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-609), 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1, 1701z-2. 12 U.S.C. 1701z-2(g) provides the authority to request social security numbers from individuals interested in participating in a research study.

Purpose:

The Pre-purchase Homeownership Counseling Demonstration and Impact Evaluation will examine the impact that different types of pre-purchase counseling have on mortgage preparedness, homeowner outcomes, and loan performance for prospective low-to moderate income, first-time homebuyers. Clients participating in the study will be asked to complete an eligibility assessment and baseline survey at the time they are enrolled in the study. Additionally, some study participants will be asked to participate in semi-structured follow-up interviews that seek to learn about participants' experiences with enrollment and interaction with participating counseling agencies. Participating counseling agencies' staff will be asked to participate in semi-structured interviews that seek to understand provision of counseling in each jurisdiction and provide the study team information on counseling and education services that study participants receive. Staff at lenders will be asked to participate in semi-structured interviews that seek to understand the recruitment process and provide the study team a weekly outcome report for recruitment calls through to the enrollment and intervention period to determine the impact of two different pre-purchase education and counseling interventions through a randomized experimental design. A computer program will be used to randomly assign program participants to one of the two interventions or the control group: (1) Home buyers will receive education and counseling in person at local agency; and (2) Home buyers will receive education and counseling over the Internet and telephone; and (3) Control group homebuyers will not receive any counseling. The purpose of these data collection activities is to collect the information needed to evaluate the impact of pre-purchase housing counseling. Specifically, this evaluation will recruit 7,000 low-to-moderate income, first-time homebuyers who have pre-qualified for a home purchase loan. Upon study enrollment, study participants will be randomly assigned to one of three research groups: two treatment groups (one for each intervention type) and a control group that will not receive any pre-purchase counseling services. The collection of data received from study participants, lenders, counseling agencies, and other entities is vital to understand where potential borrowers begin in the process, how they are affected by pre-purchase education and counseling, and if their behaviors have changed as a result of the evaluation. To collect and organize the data required to perform the analyses, the RAST System will serve as the central collection point for maintaining participant's data and generating the reports needed for analysis. Conducting this study will allow HUD to provide reliable counseling and better monitory the performance and services provided by HUD-approved and HUD-funded counseling agencies.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a.

1. To authorized Abt SRBI researchers to collect the data from study participants to match these primary study data with other datasets for tracking (e.g., matching with change of address databases); to track and locate study participants throughout the study and to manage the data collection process; for statistical analysis and to develop findings for this research study to allow HUD and researchers to understand the impact of pre-purchase homeownership counseling on a range of outcomes for low-to-moderate and middle- income, first-time homebuyers; and link data from one phase of data collection to another or to match primary study data with other datasets for data collection purposes in order to ascertain the impact of pre-purchase counseling on homebuyer outcomes. The production of aggregate statistical data will be without any personal identifiers, which will not be used to make decisions concerning the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals under any HUD loan program.

2. To make public use of file in non-identifiable form for disclosure to authorized researchers for additional statistical analysis.

3. To Credit Bureaus to obtain credit report data on study participants.

4. To Local and National organizations (counseling agencies) to enroll study participants in different pre-purchase education and counseling intervention group.

5. To FHA Approved lenders to determine participant's enrollment after the study and to track information received from lenders participating in the study.

/section811 Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Evaluation – Phase II

This information will not be classified.

The records are maintained at the Abt Associates (contractor) offices at 55 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 and 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20410-0001.

Sec. 501 and 502 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609), 12 U.S.C. 1701z-1, 1701z-2.

The purpose of the system is to allow the Department to collect, track, and study information gathered on Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program participants and to analyze the effectiveness of this rental assistance model compared to other supportive housing models for extremely low-income nonelderly adults with disabilities. This is the second of a multiphase evaluation. The evaluation is funded by the Program Evaluation Division in PD&R. The project will evaluate the implementation of the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program, its impact on residents, and the cost-effectiveness of this new housing assistance model for persons with disabilities in six states: California, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Minneapolis, and Washington.

Phase II of the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance evaluation will rely on both primary and secondary sources of data to inform the overall evaluation. Primary data collection includes interviews with grantees and program’s partners and stakeholders, and surveys of Section 811 Project Rental Assistance and Project Rental Assistance Contract residents. Secondary (existing) datasets will include HUD administrative data, Medicare and Medicaid data from CMS, state Medicaid data from six state Medicaid agencies, Project Rental Assistance and Project Rental Assistance Contract program documents, and neighborhood administrative data.

Primary data collection with grantees, partnering agencies, and Project Rental Assistance and Project Rental Assistance Contract residents is necessary to describe the implementation of the Project Rental Assistance program, identify characteristics of successful program strategies, and assess the impact of the program on Project Rental Assistance residents compared to residents in the traditional Project Rental Assistance Contract program. The collection of secondary data is necessary to identify the outcomes of the Project Rental Assistance program and characteristics of Project Rental Assistance residents, Project Rental Assistance Contract residents, and individuals in the program and comparison groups, and to determine the effectiveness of this new model of housing assistance.

This analysis will inform HUD leadership, policymakers, and HUD partners that implement supportive housing programs for nonelderly adults with disabilities. In addition, the records collected through this evaluation represent HUD’s effort to assess and report to Congress on the implementation and effectiveness of this rental assistance approach. The data collected for Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Evaluation – Phase II will be used and stored solely for research purposes, and will not be used to identify individuals or make decisions that affect the rights, benefits, or privileges of specific individuals. The data in this system will include location data, which will be used to analyze the neighborhoods in which Section 811 Project Rental Assistance and Project Rental Assistance Contract residents live. The data in the system will also include information about health, housing, and quality of life measures, which will be used to analyze the extent to which people’s lives are being improved by the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program. The data in this system will be analyzed using statistical methods and only reported in the aggregate. Resulting reports will not disclose or identify any individuals or sensitive personal information. The Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Evaluation is in direct service of the mission of PD&R, which is to "inform policy development and implementation to improve life in American communities through conducting, supporting, and sharing research, surveys, demonstrations, program evaluations, and best practices."

Data will be collected from households assisted by the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance and Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Contract programs, other extremely low-income households including a person with a disability served by other HUD-assisted housing programs, a sample of individuals receiving Medicaid or similar state plan services, Section 811 housing agency grantees, and partnering agencies (state Medicaid agencies, property owners, service providers, and public housing agencies). All individuals live in the states of California, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington.

The data sets will contain the following categories of records:

•Responses to resident survey: Include participants’ names, address, telephone numbers, names and contact information of proxies and/or legal guardians (if applicable), study identifier, information about their experience with the transition to HUD-assisted housing, subjective assessment of housing quality, subjective assessment of neighborhood quality, information about access to supportive services and unmet needs, information about help with supportive services, subjective assessment of quality of life and community inclusion.

•Administrative interviews: Include identifying information—such as full name; job title; and contact information, including addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers—of program staff and stakeholders (grantee, Medicaid agency, property owners, service providers, and public housing authorities), and qualitative responses about several aspects of the program design and implementation.

•HUD Administrative data: Include data on individuals, households, and properties available through HUD administrative data. Collection will be brought into the dataset directly from HUD’s Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS), Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) Inventory Management System (IMS), and Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMS). Tenant-level and household-level data include participants’ full names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers; information pertaining to the participating family structure, household size, household income, race and demographics, disability status, unit characteristics; and information about participation in HUD programs. Property-level data include housing agency, property, unit characteristic, and financial information and contact information for property owners, including full names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.

•Medicare and Medicaid data: Include data on individuals available through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and state Medicaid agencies (CMS). Collection will be brought into the dataset directly from CMS and state Medicaid agencies under a Data Use Agreement with HUD and its contractor Abt Associates. Include study identifier (that can be matched to individuals’ full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers), (such as diagnoses), healthcare utilization, and costs. medical record number, and information pertaining to the individuals’ medical services, medical information.

(1) Resident surveys collected directly from Section 811 Project Rental Assistance and Project Rental Assistance Contract residents who have agreed to participate in the survey; (2) Administrative interviews collected directly from state housing agency grantees; (3) Administrative interviews collected directly from partnering agencies who have agreed to participate in the study; Administrative data derived from HUD’s tenant and property data systems; and Non-HUD administrative data, such as Medicare and historical Medicaid data; and state Medicaid data.
