    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Program.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0447.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
evaluates the grant applications (SF-424 and related documents) for the 
need and proposed use of grant funds and owners' ability to administer 
awarded funds of the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Program. 
HUD staff will use requests for extensions to evaluate anticipated 
program costs and the continued need for the program. The semi-annual 
Performance Reports will be used to determine how well grant funds met 
stated program goals. Grantees will also be able to retain data on the 
effectiveness of the program and how well the public was served. The 
Payment Voucher is used to monitor grant funds for eligible costs over 
the term of the grant, and the granted may similarly use this voucher 
to track and record their requests for payment reimbursement for grant-
funded expenses.
