Abstract: The information sought will be used to competitively reallocate deobligated HOME CHDO set-aside funds in order to expand the supply of energy efficient and environmentally-friendly (Green) housing that is affordable to low-income families, using design and technology models that can be replicated.

Emergency Justfication: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON, D.C. 20410-7000 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Ms. Chandana Achanta OMB Desk Officer Office of Management and Budget New Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20503 Dear Ms. Achanta: The Department is seeking emergency review of the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements associated with the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) - Competitive Reallocation of Funds to Provide for Energy-Efficient and Environmentally-Friendly (Green) CHDO Housing for Low-Income Families. The Notice of Paperwork Submission (copy enclosed), proposed for immediate Federal Register publication, explains the burden of the collection requirements and invites public comments on them. This is a new information collection. In compliance with the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.13, this letter requests emergency processing within 7 days from the date of publication. This emergency processing is essential to expedite the development of standard, affordable, permanent, energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly housing developed, sponsored, or owned by community housing development organizations (CHDOs) for low-income families through a one-time competitive reallocation of deobligated HOME CHDO set-aside funds. This is the second competitive reallocation authorized under the HOME statute; the first being the competitive reallocation of deobligated CHDO funds for permanent housing projects designated for the chronically homeless in 2004. The purpose of this competition is to reallocate deobligated HOME CHDO set-aside funds to projects that will expand the supply of energy efficient and environmentally-friendly (Green) housing that is affordable to low-income families, using design and technology models that can be replicated. Thank you for your consideration and assistance. Sincerely, Nelson R. Bregõn General Deputy Assistant Secretary Enclosure
