1 Households participating in the Rent Reform Demonstration will range widely in employment position and earnings. We have estimated the 

hourly wage at the expected prevailing minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour in Kentucky and Texas. Moreover, we expect about 50 percent 

of the participants to be employed at the time of the field research (based on analysis of employment data for the study sample). Based on this, 

we assumed 50% of tenants would be working at the federal minimum wage. 2For program staff participating in interviews, the estimate uses the median hourly wages of selected occupations (classified by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes) was sourced from the Occupational Employment Statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of 

Labor Statistics. Potentially relevant occupations and their median hourly wages are:

Source: Occupational Employment Statistics, accessed online November 20, 2020 at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm. To estimate cost burden to program staff respondents, we use an average of the occupations listed, or $26.67/hr. 

3The Cost Study Data collection assumes 2 managers and 1 specialist will be interviewed by site.

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 2021 

Rental Housing Finance Survey. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0276. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS) 

provides a measure of financial, 

mortgage, and property characteristics 

of rental housing properties in the 

United States. RHFS focuses on 

mortgage financing of rental housing 

properties, with emphasis on new 

originations for purchase-money 

mortgages and refinancing, and the 

characteristics of these new 

originations. 

The RHFS will collect data on 

property values of residential structures, 

characteristics of residential structures, 

rental status and rental value of units 

within the residential structures, 

commercial use of space within 

residential structures, property 

management status, ownership status, a 

detailed assessment of mortgage 

financing, and benefits received from 

Federal, state, local, and nongovernmental programs. 

Many of the questions are the same or 

similar to those found on the 1995 

Property Owners and Managers Survey, 

the rental housing portion of the 2001 

Residential Finance Survey, and 

previous collections of the Rental 

Housing Finance Survey. This survey 

does not duplicate work done in other 

existent HUD surveys or studies that 

deal with rental units financing. 

Policy analysts, program managers, 

budget analysts, and Congressional staff 

can use the survey’s results to advise 

executive and legislative branches about 

the mortgage finance characteristics of 

the rental housing stock in the United 

States and the suitability of public 

policy initiatives. Academic researchers 

and private organizations will also 

utilize the data to facilitate their 

research and projects. 

The Department of Housing and 

Urban Development (HUD) needs the 

RHFS data for the following two 

reasons: 

1. This is the only source of 

information on the rental housing 

finance characteristics of rental 

properties. 

2. HUD needs this information to gain 

a better understanding of the mortgage 

finance characteristics of the rental 

housing stock in the United States to 

evaluate, monitor, and design HUD 

programs.
