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 an extension of a currently approved collection. There is no change in program requirement; the statutory requirement is a long-standing one. HUD made the determination to ensure compliance with Section 644 through utilization of a standard form that requires 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. Initially when the form was first distributed, all households were contacted and provided with a copy of the form to complete at their option. Now going forward, owner/agents will only give new admissions the form. So there would be a decrease overall, after the first round of forms were completed.
