*Type of Request:* Revision.
*Form Number:* HUD 2880, SF-LLL, SF-424, SF-424B, HUD-424-CBW.
*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:* Congress appropriated funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in FY2022 and in FY2023 to competitively award funds to selected communities to develop projects that implement systems infrastructure to better address youth homelessness. The YHSI projects will focus on systems change to create and build capacity for Youth Action Boards; collect and use data from different systems to improve the youth homeless response system; develop strong leaders within a community; and improve the coordination, communication, operation, and administration of homeless assistance projects, including prevention and diversion strategies. This information collection revision is to competitively award YHSI funds to communities and monitor the progress of the funded project. This revision is to include two additional forms in the approved PRA for this program—the HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report, and the 424-CBW Grant Application Detailed Budget Worksheet.
