Title of Proposal: Owner Certification with HUD's Tenant
Eligibility and Rent Procedures
OMB Control Number: 2502-0204
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Department needs to collect this information in order to establish an
applicant's eligibility for admittance to subsidized housing, specify
which eligible applicants may be given priority over others, and
prohibit racial discrimination in conjunction with selection of tenants
and unit assignments. The Department must specify tenant eligibility
requirements as well as how tenants' incomes, rents and assistance must
be verified and computed so as to prevent the Department from making
improper payments to owners on behalf of assisted tenants. The
Department also must provide annual reports to Congress and the public
on the race/ethnicity and gender composition of subsidy program
beneficiaries. This information is essential to maintain a standard of
fair practices in assigning tenants to HUD Multifamily properties.

9887/9887-A, HUD-27061-H, HUD-90100, HUD-90101, HUD-90102, HUD-90103,
