A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HOME Investment Partnerships
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0171.
Type of Request: Extension of Approved Collection.
Form Number: HUD 27055.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD's Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR 92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME Program Participating Jurisdictions (PJs).
The information on program funds committed and disbursed is used by HUD
to track PJ performance and to determine compliance with HOME
regulations. The project-specific property, tenant, owner, and
financial data is used to compile annual reports to Congress required
at Section 284(b) of the HOME Investment Partnerships Act, as well as
to make program management decisions about how well program
participants are achieving the statutory objectives of the HOME
Program. Program management reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of program participants' commitment and disbursement
of HOME funds. These reports are provided to HUD staff as well as to
HOME PJs.
Management reports required in conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (Sec. 92.509) are used by HUD Field Offices to
assess the effectiveness of locally designed programs in meeting
specific statutory requirements and by Headquarters in preparing the
Annual Report to Congress. Specifically, these reports permit HUD to
determine compliance with the requirement that PJs provide a 25 percent
match for HOME funds expended during the Federal fiscal year (Section
220 of the Act) and that program income be used for HOME eligible
activities (Section 219 of the Act), as well as the Women and Minority
Business Enterprise requirements (Sec. 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation is used to
determine compliance with HOME Program cost limits (Section 212(e) of
the Act), eligible activities (Sec. 92.205), and eligible costs (Sec.
92.206), as well as to determine whether program participants are
achieving the income targeting and affordability requirements of the
Act (Sections 214 and 215). Other information collected under Subpart H
(Other Federal Requirements) is
[[Page 23064]]
primarily intended for local program management and is only viewed by
HUD during routine monitoring visits. The written agreement with the
owner for long-term obligation (Sec. 92.504) and tenant protections
(Sec. 92.253) are required to ensure that the property owner complies
with these important elements of the HOME Program and are also reviewed
by HUD during monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other data collection
requirements during monitoring to assure compliance with the
requirements of the Act and other related laws and authorities.
HUD tracks PJ performance and compliance with the requirements of
24 CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the required information in the
execution of their program, and to gauge their own performance in
relation to stated goals.
