A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Continuum of Care Homeless
Assistance--Technical Submission.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0183.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-40090-3a, HUD-40090-3b.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
submission is to request an extension of a currently approved
collection associated with the Technical Submission phase of the
Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Application. This submission is limited
to the Technical Submission process under the CoC Program interim rule,
as authorized by the HEARTH Act. Applicants who are successful in the
CoC Program Competition are required to submit more detailed technical
information before a grant agreement. The information to be collected
will be used to ensure that technical requirements are met prior to the
execution of a grant agreement. The technical requirements relate to a
more extensive description of the budgets for administration costs,
timelines for project implementation, match documentation and other
project specific documentation, and information to support the
resolution of grant conditions. HUD will use this detailed information
to determine if a project is financially feasible and whether all
proposed activities are eligible. All information collected is used to
carefully consider conditional applicants for funding. If HUD collects
less information, or collected it less frequently, the Department could
not make a final determination concerning the eligibility of applicants
for grant funds and conditional applicants would not be eligible to
sign grant agreements and receive funding. To see the regulations for
the CoC Program and applicable supplementary documents, visit HUD's
Homeless Resource Exchange page at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/. The statutory provisions and the implementing interim
rule (also found at 24 CFR part 587) that govern the program require
the information provided by the Technical Submission.
Respondents (i.e., affected public): Applicants that are successful
in the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grant competition.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 750.
Estimated Number of Responses: 750.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 8.
