I. Abstract

The Housing Improvement Program

(HIP) Annual Program Performance

the requirements of 25 CFR Part 256, the

Housing Improvement Program. The

service population and to identify areas

in need of additional services. The

headquarters office uses the data to

prepare the annual program budget

justification.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
