A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness 
Special NOFO Competition.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0218.
    Type of Request: New.
    Form Number: SF-424, HUD-2991, HUD-2993, HUD-2880, SF-LLL, HUD-
50070 HUD 40090-4.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Section 231 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (42 U.S.C. 11364a; Pub. L. 116-94, approved 
December 20, 2019) provided HUD with authority to use recaptured CoC 
Program funds for four purposes, two of which area: (1) Grants under 
the Continuum of Care program under Subtitle C of title IV of the 
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11381 et seq.); and 
(2) Not less than 10 percent of the amounts shall be used only for 
grants in rural areas under the Continuum of Care program, to include 
activities eligible under the Rural Housing Stability Assistance 
program under section 491 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act 
(42 U.S.C. 11408) that are not otherwise eligible under the Continuum 
of Care program. HUD is providing funding for Continuums of Care (CoCs) 
using these authorities to help them address unsheltered homelessness 
and, in rural areas, to implement the unique strategies often needed to 
reduce homelessness and to add resources and infrastructure that is 
lacking. Without asking for this information, HUD will be unable to 
ensure the communities awarded have the capacity to implement projects 
that support an overall strategy, based in data and evidence, to reduce 
unsheltered homelessness and amongst those individuals who are most 
vulnerable.
