SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Eviction Protection Grant Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0331. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Office of Policy Development and 

Research (PD&R), at the U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD), is proposing the 

collection of additional information for 

the Eviction Protection Grant Program 

(EPGP). 

The goal of this effort is to facilitate 

required management functions and 

analyses of the outcomes of HUD’s 

Eviction Protection Grant Program. This 

research is expected to help the Federal 

government, states, and communities 

throughout the United States improve 

housing stability for households at risk 

of eviction or subject to eviction. In 

addition, this program can benefit 

municipalities and landlords per 

avoidance of evictions, improved 

timelines for evictions, reducing unpaid 

unit vacancies, and reducing the costs of 

litigation. This research will be used to 

assess the overall program, to include 

grantee and client outcomes. It will also 

assess variations in regional and local 

implementation of EPGP grants. The 

findings will support HUD in 

identifying opportunities for changes to 

legislation, policy, and program 

implementation for eviction support 

services. 

This Federal Register Notice provides 

an opportunity to comment on the 

information collection for this effort 

entitled Updating Eviction Protection 

Grant Program Documents. This 

information collection is designed to 

support the study of households at risk 

of or subject to eviction, specifically to 

identify effective processes and 

corresponding outcomes for eviction 

support programs and translate this 

research into actionable programmatic 

recommendations with appropriate 

timelines, policy making and 

implementation changes to improve 

these outcomes. The project includes 

data collection among HUD EPGP 

grantees and clients who receive 

eviction support services. 

Respondents: EPGP grantee 

representatives and administrators, and 

EPGP grantee clients. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

This information collection will affect 

21 EPGP grantee organizations and tens 

of thousands of households who interact 

with the grantee organizations. Grantees 

will collect data on all households 

served, to include racial, age, income 

and other demographics, the evictionrelated services provided, and case 

outcomes. Grantees will further provide 

additional details about grant execution 

to meet the needs and obligations of the 

EPGP.

† The 52698a combines individual 52698 form data into a comprehensive database document. Completion might occur simultaneously with the 

52698 if using integrated software (21,000 responses), or data entry may require 2 additional minutes per form. 

‡ The ‘‘Avg. Hourly Wage Rate’’ for each respondent reflects a wage of $35.87 pre-award (2021) and $38.70 post-award (2023) for professional and business services and a 1.46 multiplier to reflect a fully loaded wage rate. 

Estimated Time per Response: Please 

see the tables below. 

Frequency of Response: Please see the 

tables below. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

pre-award period is complete, and 

unchanged for the initial 2021 EPGP 

notice. Active post-award costs are 

estimated to be $354,904.75. To collect 

sufficient information to meaningfully 

rate and rank applicants, a significant 

amount of information is requested 

through the NOFO. However, the NOFO 

has been designed to ask only for 

essential information and imposes strict 

page limits to reduce the burden. Two 

years of program execution resulted in 

the requirements and estimates shown 

below for the post award phase. The pre 

award portion of the table is unchanged 

from the initial submission. Note that 

the hourly and total costs were adjusted 

per wage inflation between 2021 and 

2023. 

Three federal staff members will 

review each eligible NOFO application. 

A single staff member will be 

responsible for all post award review.
