A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: OpFund Shortfall Program Financial
Reporting and Monitoring.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0300.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of previously approved
collection.
Form Number: HUD-50093, HUD-50094, HUD-50095, HUD-50096, SF-425.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Shortfall Program has been in operation since FY 2021 and was created
through annual Appropriations laws providing a $25 million set-aside in
the Public Housing Fund to assist Public Housing Agencies experiencing
or at risk of financial shortfalls. The program is targeted to PHAs
with the lowest Public Housing reserves. Funding is allocated to raise
PHAs' reserves to two months of expenses. Along with the infusion of
funds, PHAs create Improvement Plans to improve their financial
situation and address financial issues. OMB requested that PIH collect
information from PHAs to evaluate the efficacy of the program in
improving PHA's financial situation. This PRA is being submitted to
improve the effectiveness of the program (through monitoring and risk
management) which ultimately helps the PHAs reach sustainable financial
success. This PRA will include a short-form budget for PHAs to report
their budget and actuals through the year so that financial and
operational performance can be evaluated; an Improvement Plan, which
will increase accountability towards making financial improvements; and
Shortfall Program Application and Appeal forms. These forms will be
accessible to PHA and HUD staff through a web-based portal to increase
operational efficiency.
