information collection described in 

Section A.

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on October 27, 2021 

at 86 FR 59412. 

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: Application for 

Federal Assistance, Standard Form–424; 

Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, 

Standard Form–LLL; HUD Detailed 

Budget Worksheet, 424 CBW; HUD 

Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update 

Report, 2880; NOFO narrative; HUD 

Client Services and Outcomes Report, 

52698; and grant activity report. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

information is collected in connection 

with HUD’s Eviction Protection Grant 

Program and will be used by HUD to 

determine that the grant applicant meets 

the requirements of the Notice of 

Funding Opportunity (NOFO). 

Information collected is also used to 

assign points for awarding grant funds 

on a competitive and equitable basis. 

The information is collected via a 

narrative and the budget form. 

Information collected from grantees 

post-award will be used by HUD to meet 

its statutory program monitoring and 

demonstration obligations. 

HUD is required to develop a 

competitive grant program to fund 

nonprofit or governmental entities to 

provide legal assistance (including 

assistance related to pretrial activities, 

trial activities, post-trial activities and 

alternative dispute resolution) at no cost 

to eligible low-income tenants at risk of 

or subject to eviction. In connection 

with the COVID–19 emergency, the 

CARES Act was enacted on March 28, 

2020. It placed a moratorium on 

eviction in all federally-assisted housing 

and federally-backed mortgages through 

July 24, 2020. The expiration of that 

moratorium was followed by an Order 

from the Centers of Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) temporarily halting 

evictions for nonpayment of rent on 

September 4, 2020, which was 

subsequently extended until July 31, 

2021, nationally and until October 3, 

2021, in areas with substantial or high 

levels of community transmission of 

COVID–19. 

As households continue to struggle 

with income loss and accumulating 

back rent, the threat of evictions has 

grown considerably. The Household 

Pulse Survey Phase 3.1 found that the 

week of June 23, 2021, over 7.4 million 

renters were behind on their rent 

payments and another 4.9 million were 

not confident they would be able to 

make next month’s payment. With the 

expiration of the CDC’s national 

moratorium looming, 3.6 million renters 

reported eviction was likely or 

somewhat likely in the next two 

months. Housing instability caused by 

formal and informal evictions has 

significant economic, physical, and 

mental consequences. Research has 

found eviction protection services, 

including services such as legal 

representation, court navigators, 

education and outreach, and assistance
