Short Statement: 1. The number of annual Capital Fund grantees has been reduced from 3,150 to 2,950 mainly due Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program conversions. RAD allows PHAs to convert their units from Public Housing units under an Annual Contribution Contract with Section 9 subsidy to project-based Section 8. This reduced hours from the collection 600 hours. 2. The energy conservation reporting was reduced from quarterly to annually. This reduced 28,350 hours from the collection.
