A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: HOME 

Investment Partnerships Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0171. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

information collected through HUD’s 

Integrated Disbursement and 

Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR 

92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices, 

HUD Headquarters, and HOME 

Investment Partnerships Program 

(HOME) Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). 

The project-specific property, tenant, 

owner, and financial data is used to 

compile annual reports to Congress 

required at Section 284(b) of Title II of 

the Cranston-Gonzalez National 

Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (42 

U.S.C. 12721 et seq.) (the Act) as well 

as to make program management 

decisions about how well PJs are 

achieving the statutory objectives of the 

HOME Program. Program management 

reports are generated by IDIS to provide 

data on the status of PJs’ HOME grants 

and projects including the commitment 

and disbursement of HOME funds. 

These reports are provided to HUD staff 

as well as to HOME PJs. 

Management reports required in 

conjunction with the Annual 

Performance Report (24 CFR 92.509) are 

used by HUD Field Offices to assess the 

effectiveness of locally designed 

programs in meeting specific statutory 

requirements and by Headquarters in 

preparing the Annual Report to 

Congress. Specifically, these reports 

permit HUD to determine compliance 

with the requirement that PJs provide a 

25 percent match for HOME funds 

expended during the Federal fiscal year 

(Section 220 of the Act) and that 

program income be used for HOME 

eligible activities (Section 219 of the 

Act), as well as the Women and 

Minority Business Enterprise 

requirements (24 CFR 92.351(b)). 

Financial, project, tenant and owner 

documentation are used to determine 

compliance with HOME Program cost 

limits (Section 212(e) of the Act), 

eligible activities (24 CFR 92.205), and 

eligible costs (24 CFR 92.206), as well as 

to determine whether PJs are complying 

with the income targeting and 

affordability requirements of the Act 

(Sections 214 and 215 of the Act). Other 

information collected under Subpart H 

of Part 92 (Other Federal Requirements) 

is primarily intended for local program 

management and is only viewed by 

HUD during routine monitoring visits. 

The written agreement with the owner 

for long-term obligation (24 CFR 92.504) 

and tenant protections (24 CFR 92.253) 

are required to ensure that the property 

owner complies with these important 

elements of the HOME Program and are 

also reviewed by HUD during 

monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other 

data collection requirements during 

monitoring to assure compliance with 

the requirements of the Act and other 

related laws and authorities. 

HUD tracks PJ performance and 

compliance with the requirements of 24 

CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the 

required information in the execution of 

their program, and to gauge their own 

performance in relation to stated goals.
