The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published a notice seeking public comments on a proposed information collection related to the evaluation of the Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration. This project involves 10 Public Housing Agencies testing new rent policies aimed at reducing administrative burdens and promoting self-sufficiency. HUD is collecting data and conducting interviews to assess the impact of these policies, with an estimated 84.25 annual burden hours and a total annual cost of $19,973.96. Public comments are invited to assess the necessity, burden, and methods of this information collection.
