NOFA for Youth Initiative Under Public and Indian Housing Family 
Investment Centers: Amendment and Notice of Application Changes

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

ACTION: Amendment of NOFA and notice of application changes.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment extends the application due date and revises 
the application procedure for funds made available for the Public and 
Indian Housing Youth Development Initiative under Family Investment 
Centers (FIC). The NOFA for this program was published in the Federal 
Register on May 13, 1994 (59 FR 25262). Direct notice of the 
application changes also has been provided to persons who have already 
requested an application kit.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bertha M. Jones, Office of Resident 
Initiatives, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th 
Street, S.W., Room 4112, Washington, D.C. 20410; telephone (202) 708-
4233. To provide service for persons who are hearing- or speech-
impaired, this number may be reached via TDD by dialing the Federal 
Information Relay Service on 1-800-877-TDDY, 1-800-877-8339, or 202-
708-9300. (Telephone numbers, other than ``800'' TDD numbers, are not 
toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to provide potential applicants 
with sufficient time to complete their applications and address the 
revised application procedures, which have been provided directly to 
persons who have requested applications and are also set out in this 
notice, the Department is extending the deadline for applications under 
the NOFA for Youth Development Initiative Under Public and Indian 
Housing Family Investment Centers. The Department is also increasing 
the number of points available in the ranking factor that addresses the 
need for services by eligible residents under both the category for 
conversion/renovation/supportive services and the category for 
supportive services (only). Any applicant that has already submitted an 
application may elect to submit a revised application by July 29, 1994.
    In addition, the Department clarifies that although term Service 
Coordinator is defined in the NOFA (59 FR 25263), the activities 
referenced in that definition should not be included as supportive 
services. The Service Coordinator salary should be listed as a separate 
line item in the grant application budget. This clarification is also 
indicated in the Youth Development Initiative Application Kit.
    The Department is taking these actions based on its authority under 
42 U.S.C. 1437t and 3535(d).
