NOFA for Public and Indian Housing Family Investment Centers: 
Amendment

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

ACTION: Amendment of NOFA.

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

SUMMARY: This notice further amends a NOFA that was published in the 
Federal Register on February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9592), and was amended on 
April 19, 1994 (59 FR 18570), and June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29816). This 
further amendment: (1) Strikes language referencing an inapplicable 
section of the National Affordable Housing Act; and (2) includes new 
application submission requirements for applicants that apply to 
undertake renovation, conversion, and new construction activities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marcia Y. Martin, Office of Resident Initiatives (ORI), or Dom Nessi, 
Director, Office of Native American Programs (ONAP), Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 
20410; telephone numbers: ORI (202) 708-4214; and ONAP (202) 708-1015 
(these are not toll free numbers). Hearing- or speech-impaired persons 
may use the Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) by contacting 
the Federal Information Relay Service on 1-800-877-8339 or 202-708-9300 
(not a toll-free number) for information on the program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 28, 1994, the Department 
published its NOFA for Public and Indian Housing Family Investment 
Centers (59 FR 9592). This NOFA was amended for the first time on April 
19, 1994 (59 FR 18570), and then on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29816); it is 
being amended further by this notice. This amendment addresses 
application submission requirements for renovation, conversion, and new 
construction activities, which were inadvertently left out of the NOFA 
in the section on Checklist of Application Submission Requirements 
(Section III.B).
    In addition, the NOFA is revised to clarify that the applicability 
of section 957 of the National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 12714) 
(NAHA) is subject to appropriations. Because funds have not been 
appropriated for the implementation of section 947, it does not apply 
at this time.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 94-4413, the NOFA for Public and Indian Family 
Investment Centers, published at 59 FR 9592 (February 28, 1994), and 
amended at 59 FR 18570 (April 19, 1994), and 59 FR 29816 (June 6, 
1994), is further amended as follows:
    1. On page 9595, column 2, paragraph (b) of Section I.F(5), headed 
``NAHA'', is amended by adding the following two new sentences at the 
end:
    (b) * * * However, section 957 of NAHA is subject to appropriations 
and, until such time as those appropriations have materialized, this 
section of the NOFA does not apply. The Department will provide 
notification if section 957 becomes effective.
    2. On page 9598, column 3, the following new paragraphs (13) 
through (17) are added at the end of Section III.B, ``Applications for 
Renovation/Conversion Activities Only must contain the following 
information:''
    (13) A description of the need for supportive services that will be 
provided in the proposed facility by eligible residents;
    (14) A description of public or private sources of assistance that 
can reasonably be expected to fund or provide supportive services, 
including evidence of any intention to provide assistance expressed by 
State and local governments, private foundations, and other 
organizations (including nonprofit organizations);
    (15) Certification from an appropriate agency that the provision of 
supportive services is well designed to provide families better access 
to educational and employment opportunities and that there is a 
reasonable likelihood that such services will be provided for the 
entire period specified. In the case of FSS, the appropriate agency can 
be the Coordinating Committee. IHAs without FSS programs may rely on 
agencies associated with such programs as those found in Mutual Help;
    (16) Evidence of a firm commitment of assistance from one or more 
sources ensuring that the supportive services will be provided for not 
less than one year following the completion of activities under the 
NOFA. Evidence shall be in the form of a letter or a resolution; and
    (17) A description of a plan for continuing operation of the FIC 
and the provision of supportive services to families for at least one 
year following the completion of activities funded.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1437t and 3535(d).

    Dated: June 30, 1994.
Joseph Shuldiner,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
