    Title of Proposal: Lease and Sale of HUD-Acquired Single Family 
Properties for the Homeless.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0412.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
seeks to assist individuals and families who are homeless by providing 
them with transitional housing and appropriate supportive services with 
the goal of helping them move to independent living. This information 
collection allows HUD to determine whether an applicant qualifies as a 
homeless provider for the purpose of lease or purchase of a HUD-
acquired property. Without the information, the Department would be 
unable to establish eligibility. Eligible applicants, including State 
and local governments, may apply to HUD to become approved as homeless 
providers. Such approval permits the applicant to lease a HUD-owned 
single family home with an option to purchase, for use in housing the 
homeless.
    Agency Form Numbers, if applicable: Not applicable.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: An estimation of the total numbers of 
hours needed to prepare the information collection is 600, number of 
respondents is 300, frequency response is one-time, and the hours of 
response is 2.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement 
without change of a previously approved collection.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
4 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: May 30, 2000.
William C. Apgar,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
