Abstract:
The information collection is necessary for the Federal Home Loan Banks to determine, and for the Federal Housing Finance Agency to monitor, whether applicants are eligible to receive Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidies and whether their use of AHP subsidies complies with approved applications and statutory and regulatory requirements. The likely respondents are institutions that are Bank members and non-member entities that receive or apply for AHP subsidies through a Bank member.
