[Docket No. N-94-3731; FR-3608-N-01]
Fiscal Year 1994; Office of Housing Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFAs) Plan for Publication, Application Processes, and
Awards Announcements
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing
Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Schedule of Office of Housing NOFAs for Fiscal Year 1994.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: It is the goal of the Office of Housing to develop and
implement its funding programs in a manner that will assure that
persons who require government assistance receive that assistance as
rapidly as possible. At this time, the Office of Housing anticipates
that it will publish announcements for ten funding programs in Fiscal
Year (FY) 1994. This document sets forth scheduling information in
relation to each of the NOFA programs, as well as the dollar amounts
appropriated for each.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Oliver Walker, Directives Management
Officer, Office of Management Services, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 7th Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202)
708-1694; TDD (202) 708-4594.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. An Accelerated Process That Works for the Public
In keeping with Secretary Cisneros' objective to make HUD programs
as efficient and responsive to public needs as possible, the Office of
Housing has developed and/or refined its internal procedures to
accelerate the NOFA process. Among other things, the Office has sought
to effectuate its internal NOFA development process early in the fiscal
year; provide the public with early notice of the programs that are
forthcoming; and eliminate redundancies in the application review
process.
Providing the public with early notice of, and information about,
forthcoming programs should prove beneficial to entities that need lead
time to do planning of their own. In some instances, the mere knowledge
of what NOFA program competitions will be available, will enable
entities to focus limited resources on a particular competition.
Streamlining the Office's application and review process is implicit in
the fundamental purpose of the Department's mandate to assist Americans
in need.
Section B. of this notice sets forth a schedule that identifies,
for each Office of Housing NOFA, the approximate appropriation
(estimated at this time), projected month of publication, number of
days within which applications will be due, and the month within which
awards are expected to be issued. (For NOFAs that have already been
published, the actual date of publication is listed.) These schedules
are projections that reflect the Office's best estimate for publication
at this time. It is possible that a given NOFA publication may occur
sooner or later than currently anticipated. Should this occur, the
timing of a subsequent stage in the NOFA process may be affected as
well.
B. NOFA Schedule: FY 1994
For each NOFA listed in this notice, the (rounded) appropriation is
listed and time periods within which three actions are anticipated to
occur, as follows:
(1) Federal Register Publication: This is the month within which
the NOFA is targeted for publication in the Federal Register. These
projections, while not a certainty, reflect reasonable expectations
based on developmental activity to date.
(2) Application Due Date: Each published NOFA will advise the
public of the amount of time within which applications must be
submitted. The number of days for submission, starting from the date of
a NOFA's publication, will vary among NOFAs (given each NOFA's
particular requirements). The nature of an application may vary among
programs as well, but each NOFA and its application form will provide
specific guidance to the applicant on how to proceed.
(3) Award Announcements: This is the month within which the Office
anticipates that funding awards will be announced.
