A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HUD Stakeholder Survey.
    OMB Approval Number: 2501-0027.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) hosts events with a 
variety of groups nationwide designed to educate stakeholders about HUD 
initiatives and policies. This data collection consists of a brief, 
optional survey to be completed in person at the end of each event. The 
information produced by the stakeholder surveys will allow HUD to 
measure the effectiveness of the stakeholder sessions and collect 
feedback on policy initiatives. The information can be used to shape 
policies, improve stakeholder events and make better use of HUD's 
limited time with stakeholders. There are no similar surveys which 
allow for HUD to engage in a sustained, systematic collection of 
feedback from stakeholders on a broad range of HUD initiatives and 
events.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): HUD stakeholder groups that 
include (but are not limited to) public housing authorities, 
congressional members and staff, local government officials, assisted 
housing residents, HUD grantees, civil rights organizations, homeless 
advocacy organizations, the legal community, academics, organized labor 
representatives, HUD grantees, and members of the housing, nonprofit,
