    Descripton of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
uses grant applications to evaluate owners' need for and proposed use 
of grant funds and their ability to administer such funds. The 
Department will use semi-annual Performance Reports to determine how 
well grant funds were used in meeting stated program goals. Grantees 
will also be able to evaluate their efforts through the completion of 
this report and will have data and evidence of program effectiveness 
available for both their future use and that of the public. HUD will 
use the Payment Voucher to monitor use of grant funds for eligible 
costs over the term of the grant. The Grantee may similarly use this 
form to track and record their requests for payment reimbursement for 
grant-funded expenses.
