Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP)

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Amendment to notice of funding availability for fiscal year 
(FY) 1994.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice informs Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) with less 
than 250 units under the jurisdictions of the Houston and Ft. Worth, 
Texas Field Offices that the deadline date for CIAP Application 
submission has been extended from June 20 to July 6, 1994. Applications 
are due on or before 3 p.m. local time on July 6, 1994. This extension 
does not apply to PHAs or Indian Housing Authorities under the 
jurisdictions of other HUD Field Offices.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janice D. Rattley, Director, Office of 
Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., room 4140, Washington, DC 
20410. Telephone (202) 708-1800; TDD (202) 708-0850. (These are not 
toll-free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CIAP NOFA, published April 19, 1994, at 
59 FR 18642, stated that of the $291,925,067 available for Public 
Housing CIAP, 1 percent, or $2,919,251, had been set aside to carry out 
goals related to pending civil rights litigation (e.g., Young v. 
Cisneros), which is subject to judicial oversight. The Department 
wishes to clarify that these funds will be used to fund eligible work 
at the 64 CIAP eligible PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros, C.A. No. P-
80-8-CA (E.D. Tex.), as well as at the CIAP eligible PHA involved in 
NAACP v. Housing Authority of City of Commerce, C.A. No. CA-3-88-0154-R 
(N.D. Tex.). In order to give the 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros 
additional time to include in their CIAP Applications work items 
proposed in their revised desegregation plans submitted to the court on 
February 4, 1994, the Department is extending the deadline for CIAP 
Application submission to all PHAs under the jurisdictions of the 
Houston and Fort Worth, Texas Field Offices. The application deadline 
is extended from June 20, 1994 to July 6, 1994.
    The 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros shall identify, in their 
CIAP Applications, those work items which are included in their revised 
desegregation plans. These 64 PHAs shall submit one CIAP Application, 
which may include both work items included in their revised 
desegregation plans and other work items not related to Young v. 
Cisneros.
    All CIAP Applications received (including those limited to work 
items related to the specified civil rights cases) will be processed in 
accordance with the April 19, 1994 NOFA; i.e., completeness review, 
eligibility review, technical review (rating and ranking) and selection 
for Joint Review. The application from the Housing Authority of the 
City of Commerce will be considered for funding from the set-aside. 
Then the highest ranked of the 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros 
which apply for work items included in their revised desegregation 
plans will be funded from the set-aside for those items. To the extent 
that the set-aside cannot fund all proposed work related to the 
specified civil rights cases, the Field Office shall merge the rankings 
of any of the 65 PHAs with work items remaining unfunded from the set-
aside and/or with work items not related to the set-aside, with the 
rankings of other PHAs to create one ranking list for purposes of Joint 
Review selection and funding from the Field Office's regular 
subassignment of CIAP funds.

    Dated: June 8, 1994.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
