NOFA for Fair Housing Initiatives Program; Notice of Availability 
of Additional Funding and Extension of Application Due Date for 
Earthquake Victims

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of availability of additional funding and extension of 
application due date.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the availability of an additional 
$800,000 of 1993 Fiscal Year (FY) funding for the Education and 
Outreach Initiative of the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP). It 
also extends the application due date for victims of the Los Angeles 
earthquake.

DATES: The application due date for FY 1993 FHIP funding remains 
February 22, 1994, except for applicants who could not complete their 
applications because of disruptions due to the Los Angeles earthquake. 
For those applicants affected by the earthquake, the application due 
date is extended to March 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Jacquelyn J. Shelton, Director, Office 
of Fair Housing Assistance and Voluntary Programs, room 5234, 451 
Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-2000. Telephone number (202) 
708-0800. A telecommunications device (TDD) for hearing and speech 
impaired persons is available at (202) 708-0455. (These are not toll-
free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
announcing HUD's 1993 Fiscal Year (FY) funding of $8.8 million for the 
Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) was published on December 22, 
1993 (58 FR 68000). This FY 1993 FHIP NOFA stated that $1.8 million of 
Education and Outreach funds would be made available in another NOFA, 
to be published separately, for an affirmative fair housing marketing 
project. The Department has since determined that only $1 million would 
be made available for the affirmative fair housing marketing project, 
and is, therefore, making the remaining $800,000 available to 
applicants for Education and Outreach Initiative funding under the FY 
1993 FHIP NOFA. Of this $800,000, $400,000 will be available for 
national program activities, and $400,000 will be available for 
regional/local/community-based program activities.
    In addition, this Notice extends the application due dates for 
those applicants who could not complete their applications because of 
disruptions due to the Los Angeles earthquake. For applicants adversely 
affected by the earthquake, the application due date is extended two 
weeks to March 8, 1994. Such applicants must include with their 
applications a cover letter that briefly explains how the earthquake 
prevented them from meeting the original February 22nd due date. All 
other applicants are still subject to the February 22, 1994 due date.
    No other aspects of the FY 1993 FHIP NOFA are changed by this 
notice.

    Authority: Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3616 note); Title VIII, Civil Rights Act of 
1968, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3601-3619); Sec. 7(d), Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).

    Dated: February 16, 1994.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity.
