Summary
The VA is updating its paperwork for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which helps very low-income veteran families find and keep stable housing.

Comments on these updates are open until February 21, 2025, with no new costs expected for participants.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Some SSVF Forms Require Many Hours
Certain SSVF forms carry substantial time costs: VA Form 10-10072 (Application) estimates 2,100 minutes (35 hours) per respondent for 400 respondents annually; VA Form 10-10072c (Renewal) estimates 600 minutes (10 hours) per respondent for 300 respondents annually; VA Form 10-10072b (Quarterly Report) estimates 135 minutes per response for 320 respondents, filed four times per year.
SSVF Grantees Get Revised Paperwork
Nonprofit organizations that receive Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grants will use updated forms: Application (VA Form 10-10072), Participant Satisfaction Survey (VA Form 10-10072a), Quarterly Grantee Performance Report (VA Form 10-10072b), and Renewal Application (VA Form 10-10072c). The collection totals 13,230 annual responses and a combined 22,693 annual burden hours under OMB Control No. 2900-0757.
Pre-Service Survey Removed for Participants
Very low-income veteran families served by SSVF will no longer need to complete a pre-service survey; the program will continue to administer an exit Participant Satisfaction Survey (VA Form 10-10072a). The exit survey is estimated at 11,250 respondents annually at 15 minutes per response, totaling 2,813 annual burden hours.
VA Says No New Participant Costs Expected
