SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in

days was published on August 30, 2023

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Housing Counseling Homeownership 

Initiative Notice of Funding 

Opportunity (HI NOFO). 

OMB Approval Number: 2502–NEW. 

OMB Expiration Date: None. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Form Numbers: HUD–91045; HUD– 

424–B; HUD–50153; HUD–2880; SF– 

LLL; SF–424. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

HUD Office of Housing Counseling will 

use the information collected to 

objectively evaluate grant applicants on 

how well they will be able to meet the 

selection factors set forth in the new 

Homeownership Initiative Notice of 

Funding Opportunity, hereinafter HI– 

NOFO, based on their history of 

performance and on their responses to 

questions. The collection will also serve 

to monitor selected applicants or 

grantees to assess compliance and 

effectiveness. This collection of 

information is required for the award of 

the HI NOFO grant program in 

furtherance of HUD’s mission to 

increase homeownership rates among 

historically underserved communities. 

The grant program looks to deliver 

measurable outcomes by awarding 

funds to HUD-approved Intermediaries, 

Multi-State Organizations, and State and 

Local government Housing Finance 

Agencies who have demonstrated 

experience providing culturally 

sensitive, linguistically appropriate preand post-purchase housing counseling. 

Selected agencies will provide 

independent, expert, and customized 

guidance to help underserved 

communities. The NOFO specific 

information is collected via the new 

form HUD–90145 (Homeownership 

Initiative Chart). All other forms that are 

part of this collection are mandatory 

OMB or HUD standard grant application 

forms. 

This review is necessary to support 

HUD participating agencies who are 

seeking to increase the homeownership 

rate among historically underserved 

communities and stop or reverse the 

increasing homeownership gap resulting 

from the effects of the COVID–19 

pandemic and resulting shortage of 

affordable homes within those 

communities. These agencies will 

provide targeted counseling, outreach to 

members of their communities as well 

as seek partnerships with other agencies 

to help individuals and families achieve 

sustainable homeownership, no matter 

their race, ethnicity, disability status, or 

other protected class. 

Respondents: HUD-approved nonprofit HUD National and Regional 

Intermediaries (Intermediaries), MultiState Organizations (MSOs), and State 

Housing Finance Agencies (SHFAs). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

56. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 341. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Average Hours per Response: 8.7. 

Total Estimated Burden: 2,968 hours.

information described in Section A on
