HUD wants your thoughts on updating the paperwork for the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), which helps folks build their own homes.

HUD’s estimated annual hours and cost
HUD estimates total annual burden hours of 2,774.50 and a total annual cost of $240,715.62 for the information collection associated with SHOP, with specific line items such as Grant Reporting (DRGR) showing 800 annual hours and $70,208 annual cost. These cost and hour estimates are part of HUD’s request to OMB (OMB Control No. 2506-0157).
Paperwork burden for SHOP applicants
If you are a national or regional non-profit self-help housing organization (including consortia) applying for SHOP funds, HUD requires you to register in SAM.gov and submit SHOP NOFO narratives and forms in Grants.gov. The collection lists many required forms (for example SF-424, HUD-424-B, HUD-426, HUD-2996, HUD-50070) and is used to determine eligibility, rate and rank applications, and select grant recipients.
Ongoing post-award reporting via DRGR
If you receive a SHOP grant, HUD requires semi-annual post-award reporting in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system, including activity and budget information, drawdowns, performance reports, federal financial reports, action plans, and environmental site certification. HUD states this reporting is required to ensure grantee compliance with the Executed Grant Agreement.
