collection instrument. HUD may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Instructions for the Race and Ethnic Data Reporting form (HUD-27061)
A. General Instructions:
This form is intended to be used by two categories of respondents: (1) applicants requesting funding from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and (2) organizations who receive HUD Federal
financial assistance that are required to report race and ethnic information.
In compliance with OMB direction to revise the standards for collection of racial data, HUD has revised its
standards as depicted on this form. The revised standards are designed to acknowledge the growing diversity of
the U.S. population. Using the revised standards, HUD offers organizations that are responding to HUD data
requests for racial information, the option of selecting one or more of nine racial categories to identify the racial
demographics of the individuals and/or the communities they serve, or are proposing to serve. HUD’s collection
of racial data treats ethnicity as a separate category from race and has changed the terminology for certain racial
and ethnic groups from the way it has been requested in the past using two distinct ethnic categories. The revised
definitions of ethnicity and race have been standardized across the Federal government and are provided below.
1. The two ethnic categories as revised by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are defined below.
Hispanic or Latino. A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish
culture or origin, regardless of race. The term “Spanish origin” can be used in addition to “Hispanic” or
“Latino.”
Not Hispanic or Latino. A person not of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other
Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
2. The five racial categories as revised by the Office of Management and Budget are defined below:
American Indian or Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South
America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.
Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian
subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine
Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as
“Haitian” or “Negro” can be used in addition to “Black” or “African American.”
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii,
Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.
White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa.
Note: The information required to be reported may be collected and submitted to HUD via the use of this form
or by other means, such as summary reports or via electronic reporting mechanisms. The primary goal to be
achieved is the provision of the summary racial and ethic data of the population(s) proposed to be served or that
is being served by your organization in a consistent manner across all HUD programs.

B. Specific Instructions for Completing the Form:
Organizations using this form should collect the individual responses from the community of individuals you
intend to serve or those that you are serving, as applicable. After the individual collections are gathered, you
should report (via this form or by the use of other means such as electronic reports that provide the summary data
required by this form) the aggregate totals of the racial and ethnic data that you collect via the applicable
categories as described below:
Total Number of Racial Responses: Under this column you should indicate the total number of responses
collected in the blocks next to the applicable categories.

2

form HUD-27061 (10/2003)

Total Number of Hispanic or Latino Responses: Under this column you should indicate the total number of
responses collected in the blocks next to the applicable racial categories (e.g., you would enter the total number
of Asian respondents that indicated they are Hispanic or Latino). When collecting this information from
beneficiaries of the Federal financial assistance all respondents should be required to indicate their ethnic
category, which requires either a “yes” or “no” response.
Other Multiple Race Combinations: Next to this racial category, indicate all racial categories (if any) identified
by respondents that do not fit one of the five single race categories or four double race combinations above, and
which have a total count that exceeds one percent of the total population being reported. You must identify each
such racial combination, including the actual count, the percentage of the total population (in parenthesis), and the
actual Hispanic or Latino count.
For example, if you obtain data that indicates that the total population being served is 200 and includes 10 Native
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and White and 12 Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and Asian, and
those numbers (of Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and White and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific
Islander and Asian) each equates to more than one percent of the total population being served, and 2 of the Native
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and White indicate they belong to the Hispanic/Latino ethic category and 3 of the
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and Asian indicate they belong to the Hispanic/Latino ethnic category,
you should complete the form as follows:

Racial Categories

Total Number of Race
Responses

Total Number of
Hispanic or Latino
Responses

Native Hawaiian or
Other Pacific Islander

2

AND White
* Other multiple race combinations: [Per the form instruction,
write in a description using the box on the right]

10 (5%)
Native Hawaiian or
Other Pacific Islander
AND Asian
12 (6%)

3

How the percentage should be applied will vary by program depending on whether the program is required to
provide data on the total community, or on the beneficiaries/individuals that are being served or that are proposed to
be served.
Balance of individuals reporting more than one race: This block is intended to capture the balance of any racial
categories that are not included in the list of nine above, and are not included under “Other multiple race
combinations greater than on percent.” Indicate the total number of all racial categories reported that do not fit
the nine racial categories above, and do not equate to one percent of the total population being reported. Be sure to
also indicate the total number of all related Hispanic or Latino responses.
Total: On the last row of the form you should indicate the aggregate totals of all the information you have gathered
including the total of all racial categories and the total of all the Hispanic or Latino categories.
