A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Family Unification Program (FUP).
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0259.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement to discontinue the collection.
    Form Number: HUD-52515; HUD-50058; HUD-2993; HUD- 96011; HUD-2990; 
HUD-2991; and HUD-2880; SF-424; SF-LLL.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
reinstatement of this previously approved PRA collection for which 
approval has expired is required in order to withdraw this PRA. The 
information collection required for the Family Unification Program 
(described below) is now covered under OMB# 2577-0169. The Family 
Unification Program (FUP) is a program, authorized under section 8(x) 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437(X), that 
provides housing choice vouchers to PHAs to assist families for whom 
the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent 
placement of the family's child or children in out-of-home care; or the 
delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from 
out-of-home care. Youths at least 18 years old and not more than 21 
years old (have not reached 22nd birthday) who left foster care at age 
16 or older and who do not have adequate housing are also eligible to 
receive housing assistance under the FUP. As required by statute, a FUP 
voucher issued to such a youth may only be used to provide housing 
assistance for the youth for a maximum of 18 months. Vouchers awarded 
under FUP are administered by PHAs under HUD's regulations for the 
Housing Choice Voucher program (24 CFR part 982).
    Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
