Short Statement: Reinstatement with changes of previously approved collection for which approval has expired The numbers are based on the following assumptions. The numbers have increased due to increased funding. The requirements have not changed. • Annual Applications/Grantees – 1000 o PIH Applications/Grantees – 800 o MF Applications/Grantees – 200 • Future new grantees – 200 • New Cooperative Agreements each year 250 • New participants each year 25,000 • Total participants each year 100,000 o PIH participants 80,000 o MF participants 20,000 • All applicants submit an SF-424, HUD-424B, HUD-52651 and a HUD-2880. They submit an SF-LLL if applicable. We may have a narrative for all applicants in the future. • All new grantees submit an FSS Action Plan • Every new participant requires a HUD-52650 Contract of Participation • Every PIH participant is reported on the HUD-50058 (or HUD-50058-MTW or HUD-50058-MTW Expansion). Since there is no FSS Addendum on the HUD-50059, we don’t use it. Instead, PBRA owners submit one PBRA FSS Reporting Tool (HUD-52653) each year. • Every FSS program will complete an Annual Survey once per year. • PIH will conduct a monitoring review of each program once every five years.
