OMB CONTROL # XXXX-XXX
Expires: (XX/XX/XXXX)

Paperwork Reduction Act Burden: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no
persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a
valid OMB control number. This collection of information is optional and will assist HUD and
other federal agencies to improve the quality, relevance, and delivery of technical assistance
resources. The total time required to complete this survey is estimated to average two hours
and fifteen minutes (2.25 hours) including the time to review instructions, gather the data
needed, and complete and review the survey. If you have any comments concerning the
accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Economic Development, Room 7136,
Washington, D.C. 20410.
Privacy Act Statement: The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain
information in connection with the request for information solicited on this form. Accordingly,
pursuant to the requirements of the Act, please be advised:
Authorization: This collection of information is authorized under Sections 2 and 3 of the
HUD Act, 42 U.S.C. 3531-32, “to assist the President in achieving maximum coordination of
the various Federal activities that have a major effect upon urban community, suburban or
metropolitan development; …and to exercise leadership…in coordinating Federal activities
affecting housing and urban development.”
Purpose: HUD does not typically receive information on specific projects and activities
using formula grant funds before the grant funds have been expended. The Community
Development Marketplace (CDM) survey requests such information in order for HUD to
more accurately refer grantees and sub-grantees to useful information about best practices
and eligible uses and administrative requirements during the planning and predevelopment
periods, when they need such information the most. In addition, HUD will use the
information to refer applicants to similar materials and information from other federal
agencies and available non-federal resources.
Uses: This information collection is entirely voluntary. Any information collected may
be seen, used, and shared by HUD staff, contractors, and TA providers and with permission,
shared widely with federal partners, external parties, and the public, and used in various
collaboration tools and platforms in order to help improve HUD and other federal agencies’
technical assistance processes and procedures.
Disclosure: Voluntary. Any information collected in this information collection, if
permission is provided, may be made accessible to the public and shared widely. Other
than professional or business contact information, please do NOT submit any personally
identifiable information as part of this information collection form, defined as any
information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name,
social security number, biometric records, etc. alone, or when combined with other
personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such
as date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.

benefit activity is an activity which is available to benefit all the residents of an area which is primarily
residential. In order to qualify on an area basis, an activity must meet the identified needs of Low/Mod
income persons residing in a service area where at least 51% of the residents (or less if the “upper
quartile” applies to the CDBG grantee, as described below) are Low/Mod income persons. The benefits of
this type of activity are available to all residents in the area regardless of income. A service area that
contains a percent of Low/Mod income persons that is not lower than that contained in the CDBG
grantee’s upper one-fourth of all areas within its jurisdiction in terms of the degree of concentration of
Low/Mod income population is considered qualified. This is sometimes referred to as the “exception
criteria” or the “upper quartile.”

Example:
This project is affiliated with the "Main Street, USA" Initiative of the National Downtown
Association (nonprofit advocacy group of Downtown Development Authorities), with project
evaluation and technical assistance provided by North Central University. The Initiative seeks to
promote new developments in downtown districts and study their effects on economic
indicators. More information can be found at (http://web-link-here.com). The project will also
apply for LEED certification through the U.S. Green Building Council for new construction energy
efficiency. More information about the USGBC is available at (http://web-link-here.com).

Project Details

Example:
The 123 Main Street Mixed Use Affordable Housing Project is a plan to build a 5-story, 80,000 sq.

Eastwest. The development will comprise 28 income-restricted affordable units. The
development will also include 10,000 sq. ft. of retail space on the ground floor, and 6,000 sq. ft.
of resource/education space on the second floor. The building facilities are designed to be
energy efficient and achieve LEED Gold Status. The project has the potential to be Transit
