    Description 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 ability to administer such funds. The Department

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.
