Abstract: Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing providers participating in HUD’s assisted housing programs to provide any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, or similar organization. The objective of providing such information, if this information is provided, and if the applicant becomes a tenant, is to facilitate contact by the housing provider with the person or organization identified by the tenant, to assist in providing any the delivery of services or special care to the tenant and assist with resolving any tenancy issues arising during the tenancy of such tenant. This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the housing provider and maintained as confidential information.

Short Statement: This is a new collection. There is no change in program requirements, but as noted in response to question 4, the statutory requirement is a long-standing one, but HUD has discovered that applicants are not being consistently notified of the option to provide this information. HUD made the determination to ensure compliance with Section 644 through utilization of a standard form that requires for housing providers to give to each applicant for occupancy a form that notifies the applicant of his or her option to provide the information specified in section 644, and provides for the submission of the information.
