    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.
