Abstract: The Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Application - Registration information is necessary to assist in the selection of proposals submitted to HUD (by State and local governments, public housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations) for the awarded funds under the Continuum of Care program. A small change was made to the burden hours in this package to account for the decreased overall number of CoCs and increased number of CoCs applying for UFA status.

Short Statement: The total burden hours changed from the previous PRA as the GIW collection is being moved from the application collection to the registration collection. The GIWs are completed between the registration process and the application process. Additionally, the total number of respondents is subject to change annually due to CoCs merging or splitting and with newly created CoCs due to authorizing language expanding eligibility (e.g., FY 2021 appropriations language authorizing the Indian Tribes and TDHEs eligibility to form CoCs, submit CoC Consolidated applications, and project applications).
