Opportunities for Youth: Notice of Funds Availability for the 
Development and Implementation of Youthbuild Programs

AGENCY: Office of Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice; extension of the deadline; use of emergency funds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Because of weather and delivery problems, this Notice 
announces an extension of the deadline for applications for the Notice 
of Funds Availability (NOFA) for Opportunities for Youth: Youthbuild 
Programs which was published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49849. 
This notice also announces that because of the recent earthquake in the 
Los Angeles area, the Department is using its authority under the 
Youthbuild Program to provide emergency funds through the Youthbuild 
Program to Los Angeles city and county.

DATES: January 31, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Applications which were not submitted previously because of 
weather and delivery problems will now be accepted up to 4:30 p.m. EST, 
on January 31, 1994, in the Processing and Control Unit, room 7255, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy O. Priest, Director, Office of 
Economic Development, CPD, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
room 7136, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410. Telephone: 
(202) 708-2290. Hearing-impaired or speech impaired individuals may 
call HUD's TDD number (202)708-2565. (These numbers are not toll-free 
numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. This Notice announces an extension of the 
deadline for applications for the NOFA for the Opportunities for Youth: 
Youthbuild Program which was published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 
49849, until January 31, 1994. The Department has decided to extend the 
deadline for all applicants that completed the preparation of an 
application by the original application deadline of January 7, 1994, 
but were unable to meet the submission deadline for all or part of the 
application because of weather and other delivery problems. The new 
deadline is to accommodate applicants who encountered such problems and 
is not intended to generate new applications. Applications received by 
HUD between the original deadline date of January 7, 1994 and the date 
of publication of this notice will also be accepted for processing. In 
addition, all applicants may revise parts of their applications if they 
wish and submit the revised parts or the revised application by the new 
date of January 31, 1994.
    The Department will announce a new NOFA later this year for the 
next Youthbuild funding competition. Those parties interested in 
developing a new application will have the opportunity to apply for 
funding consideration during the next funding round.
    II. The Youthbuild Program, as established by the NOFA published on 
September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49849, and the proposed rule also 
published on September 23, 1993, at 58 FR 49830, provides for the 
Department to reserve up to five percent of the program funds for 
emergencies. The Department has decided that the recent earthquake in 
the Los Angeles area is such an emergency and that the Department will 
act promptly on applications received from Los Angeles city and county 
and award up to $1.9 million for implementation grants to applicants 
from Los Angeles. The Department intends to review the implementation 
and combined applications received from Los Angeles city and county by 
the deadline on an immediate basis. If applications meet the thresholds 
set forth in the September 23, 1993 NOFA and score at least at the 
minimum level (60 points with at least 15 points in capability and 30 
points in feasibility and quality), they are eligible for immediate 
award. If there are more eligible applications from Los Angeles city 
and county than can be funded under the $1.9 million, applications 
rating the highest will be funded. Any other applications not funded 
under this emergency fund will be considered in the regular Youthbuild 
implementation funding competition.

    Dated: January 19, 1994.
Andrew Cuomo,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
