The Office of Community Services
(OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting
approval of revisions to the Office of Community Services
Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration
information collection. This information collection was originally
approved for 6 months as an emergency approval to satisfy a request
in House Report 117-403 for a report on the results of the
demonstration within one year of the award of grants for the
program. OCS requests to extend the approval in order to continue
reporting on the findings of the demonstration program, monitoring
program performance, and supporting program improvement. The
program received additional appropriations in FY 2024. In addition
to extending the approval, OCS seeks to update the burden estimates
to accommodate an anticipated increase in the number of grant
recipients, as well as to collect additional follow-up responses to
the instruments examining service receipt and self-sufficiency for
individuals. Finally, OCS has made updates to approved forms in
order to accommodate the universe of future grant recipients and in
response to feedback received during the 60-day comment
period.
US Code:

This request is to revise and

report forms to accommodate the universe of potential activities of
future grant recipients by drawing on the full spectrum of items
included in CSBG reporting, which grant recipients are required to
complete as CSBG eligible entities.
