Abstract: Authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), hereafter Recovery Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5), the Department of the Treasury is implementing several provisions of the Act, more specifically Division B – Tax, Unemployment, Health, State Fiscal Relief, and Other Provisions. Among these components is a program which requires Treasury to make payments, in lieu of a tax credit, to state housing credit agencies. State housing credit agencies use the funds to make subawards to finance the construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of qualified low-income buildings. The collection of information is necessary to properly identify recipients and determine the appropriate amount of funding. The information will be used to (1) identify eligible recipients; (2)determine the appropriate amount of funding; (3) ensure compliance with applicable laws; and (4) report on the effectiveness of the program.
