Summary
HUD wants to update how it collects info from tenants living in affordable housing built with tax credits (LIHTC). This means tenants and property managers will share some details to keep things fair and on track. Comments on these changes are open until January 5, 2026, and no new costs are expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Estimated annual reporting hours and cost
HUD estimates the collection will produce 2,928 total annual burden hours and an annual cost of $151,231.20 (using $51.65/hour). This breakdown lists 61 Tenant Data Form responses at 40 hours each (2,440 hours) and 61 Project Data Form responses at 8 hours each (488 hours).
Statutory annual tenant data delivery
State agencies that administer Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) must annually provide HUD information about households living in LIHTC properties. The required data fields include race, ethnicity, family composition, age, income, use of rental assistance under section 8(o) or similar assistance, disability status, and monthly rental payments (per HERA section 2835(d) / 42 U.S.C. 1437z-8).
HUD to set standards and reduce duplicate reporting
HUD must establish standards and definitions for the LIHTC information, provide technical assistance to states, and coordinate with other federal housing programs to minimize duplicative reporting for properties assisted under multiple programs. HUD is seeking OMB approval to continue and revise these collections.
