provide important information not 

otherwise available from HUD’s 

administrative data, such as whether the 

household has significant barriers to 

employment. The BIF will average 

approximately 7 minutes long. 

MDRC will also conduct interviews 

with staff from participating PHAs, to 

better understand their experience 

implementing the new rent policies. For 

the first phase of the evaluation, MDRC 

is expected to conduct two rounds of 

staff interviews with each PHA. This 

collection request focuses on the first of 

the two rounds of staff data collection. 

During the first round, MDRC expects to 

interview up to ten staff per PHA 

(reflecting a mix of executive 

management staff, public housing and 

HCV directors, and public housing and 

HCV specialists). The mode will be a 

mix of one-on-one interviews and group 

interviews, with small groups of 2–3 

staff performing similar roles.

amended by HERA, eligible HTF 

grantees are the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the 

Commonwealth of Northern Mariana 

Islands, and the United States Virgin 

Islands. This notice announces the 

formula allocation amount for each 

eligible HTF grantee.

preserving the supply of rental housing 

for extremely low-income families with 

incomes between 0 and 30 percent of 

area median income and very lowincome families with incomes between 

30 and 50 percent of area median 

income, including homeless families, 

and (2) increasing homeownership for 

extremely low-income and very lowincome families. Section 1337 of the Act 

(12 U.S.C. 4567) requires Federal 

National Mortgage Association (Fannie 

Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation (Freddie Mac) to set-aside 

4.2 basis points (.042 percent) of the 

unpaid principal of their new mortgage 

purchases annually to fund the HTF and 

the Capital Magnet Fund. Each year, 

65% of the amounts set-aside by Fannie 

Mae and Freddie Mac are then allocated 

to the HTF. 

Section 1338 of the Act (12 U.S.C. 

4568) directs HUD to establish, through 

regulation, the formula for distribution 

of amounts made available for the HTF. 

The provisions in section 1338(c)(3) of 

the Act (12 U.S.C. 4568(c)(3)) specify 

the factors to be used for the formula 

and priority for certain factors. The HTF 

implementing regulations are at 24 CFR 

part 93. The factors and methodology 

HUD uses to allocate HTF funds among 

eligible grantees are established in the 

HTF regulation at 24 CFR 93.50, 93.51, 

and 93.52. 

The funding announced for Fiscal 

Year 2022 through this notice is 

$748,948,400.71. Appendix A to this 

notice provides the HTF allocation 

amount for each grantee.
