A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunities for Persons 
with AIDS (HOPWA): Grant Application Submission, Recordkeeping, and 
Reporting.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0133.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-40110-B, HUD-40110-C, HUD-40110-D, SF-424, SF424D, 
SF-LLL, and HUD-2991.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    The current Paperwork Reduction Act approval under OMB Control No. 
2506-0133 covers reporting, recording keeping, and application 
requirements for both the HOPWA formula and competitive grant programs. 
This revision applies to reporting requirements for all HOPWA grantees.
    For annual reporting, HOPWA grantees complete reporting forms by 
providing information on activities undertaken, number of clients 
served, funds expended, and accomplishments achieved. This information 
supports program evaluation and the ability to measure program 
beneficiary outcomes related to: Maintaining housing stability; 
preventing homelessness; and improving access to care and support. 
Grantees are required to report on the activities undertaken only, thus 
there may be components of these reporting requirements that may not be 
applicable to every grantee.
    The data elements in this submission represent the new annual 
reporting requirements for both HOPWA formula and competitive grantees, 
and represent a consolidation of the data elements in HUD-40110-C and 
HUD-40110-D. Compared to the HUD-40110-C and HUD-40110-D, the data 
elements in this submission represent data additions, deletions, and 
modifications that further clarify reporting requirements. The addition 
of new data elements will allow OHH to better respond to data calls 
from Congress and to make better programmatic decisions based on more 
relevant grantee annual data.
    HUD systematically reviews and conducts data analysis in order to 
prepare national and individual grantee performance profiles that are 
not only used to measure program performance against benchmark goals 
and objectives, but also to communicate the program's achievement and 
contributions towards Departmental strategic goals. HUD plans to 
continue using the data elements in this submission for these purposes.
    The currently approved collection also pertains to grant 
application submission requirements which will be used to rate 
applications, determine eligibility, and establish grant amounts. HOPWA 
will continue using application narratives and form HUD-40110-B, HOPWA 
Competitive Application & Renewal of Permanent Supportive Housing 
Project Budget Summary, as a component of determining applicant 
eligibility and establishing grant amounts for competitive grants. 
HOPWA competitive and renewal application submission also continue to 
require submission of the following forms currently approved under this 
collection: SF424 and SF424b assurances; SFLLL; SF-424D; and HUD-2991. 
Form HUD-2991 is currently covered under OMB approval number 2506-0112.
