A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Eviction Protection Grant Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0331.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R), at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), is proposing the
collection of additional information for
the Eviction Protection Grant Program
(EPGP).
The goal of this effort is to facilitate
required management functions and
analyses of the outcomes of HUD’s
Eviction Protection Grant Program. This
research is expected to help the Federal
government, states, and communities
throughout the United States improve
housing stability for households at risk
of eviction or subject to eviction. In
addition, this program can benefit
municipalities and landlords per

avoidance of evictions, improved
timelines for evictions, reducing unpaid
unit vacancies, and reducing the costs of
litigation. This research will be used to
assess the overall program, to include
grantee and client outcomes. It will also
assess variations in regional and local
implementation of EPGP grants. The
findings will support HUD in
identifying opportunities for changes to
legislation, policy, and program
implementation for eviction support
services.
This Federal Register Notice provides
an opportunity to comment on the
information collection for this effort
entitled Updating Eviction Protection
Grant Program Documents. This
information collection is designed to
support the study of households at risk
of or subject to eviction, specifically to
identify effective processes and
corresponding outcomes for eviction
support programs and translate this
research into actionable programmatic
recommendations with appropriate
timelines, policy making and
implementation changes to improve
these outcomes. The project includes
data collection among HUD EPGP
grantees and clients who receive
eviction support services.
Respondents: EPGP grantee
representatives and administrators, and
EPGP grantee clients.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
This information collection will affect
21 EPGP grantee organizations and tens
of thousands of households who interact
with the grantee organizations. Grantees
will collect data on all households
served, to include racial, age, income
and other demographics, the evictionrelated services provided, and case
outcomes. Grantees will further provide
additional details about grant execution
to meet the needs and obligations of the
EPGP.
