The information is required to allow HUD to manage remaining HOPE VI Implementation grants. The information is also required to obligate grant funds for the HOPE VI Main Street grant program, in accordance with Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937, and to manage the grants that are awarded.
The program title has changed from âHOPE VI Applicationâ to âHOPE VI and HOPE VI Main Street Program,â to better describe this collection. The remaining HOPE VI Implementation grants account for most of the burden. However, HOPE VI funds are no longer being appropriated. HOPE VI Main Street funds are being funded through the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative appropriations.
Collections in support of the HOPE VI Implementation NOFAs, which ended in 2011, are being deleted from this ICR, which includes HUD-52860-A, HUD-52774, HUD-52780, HUD-52785, HUD-52787, HUD-52790, HUD-52797, HUD-52798, HUD-52799, HUD-52800, SF-424,
SF-LLL, HUD-2880, HUD-96010, HUD-96011 and HUD-52861. The total burden is decreasing from 26,516 hours to 3,980 hours and the cost is decreasing from $1,156,305.00 to $226,860.
