This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to:

(PHAs)currently serve and interact with homeless households, to achieve the following:
(1)Establish a baseline level of PHAs' current engagement in serving homeless households,
(2)document the practices of PHAs that have an explicit preference for homeless households;
(3)explore PHA perceptions of barriers to, or concerns about, increasing the number of homeless households served or targeting homeless households for priority housing assistance; and
(4)identify mechanisms to address or eliminate barriers to serving homeless households in mainstream housing assistance, with a focus on the housing choice voucher
(HCV)program and public housing. Findings of this study will enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which funds PHAs, to develop strategies to expand access to mainstream housing opportunities for homeless households that are rooted in evidence and informed by the PHAs themselves. This proposed data collection consists of a telephone survey to be administered to a purposeful sample of 125 public housing agencies. *Members of affected public:* Public housing agencies. *Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* Estimated Respondent Burden Hours and Costs Form Respondent sample Number of respondents Average time to complete (minimum, maximum) in minutes Frequency Total burden (hours) Telephone Survey A purposeful sample of public housing agencies 125 60 1 125 Total Burden Hours 125 *Respondent's Obligation:* Voluntary. *Status of the proposed information collection:* Pending OMB approval.
