(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes the
approximately 120 grantees of the Transitional Housing Assistance Grant
Program (Transitional Housing Program) whose eligibility is determined
by statute. This discretionary grant program provides transitional
housing, short-term housing assistance, and related support services
for individuals who are homeless, or in need of transitional housing or
other housing assistance, as a result of fleeing a situation of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and
for whom emergency shelter services or other crisis intervention
services are unavailable or insufficient. Eligible applicants are
States, units of local government, Indian tribal governments, and other
organizations, including domestic violence and sexual assault victim
services providers, domestic violence or sexual assault coalitions,
other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations, or community-based and
culturally specific organizations, that have a documented history of
effective work concerning domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is
estimated that it will take the 120 respondents (grantees)
approximately one hour to complete the semi-annual progress report. The
semi-annual progress report is divided into sections that pertain to
the different types of activities that grantees may engage in and the
different types of grantees that receive funds. A

with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
collection forms is 240 hours, that is 120 grantees completing a form
twice a year with an estimated completion time for the form being one
hour.
