Notice of Funding Availability for Housing Opportunities for 
Persons With AIDS

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the availability of up to $19,200,000 in 
funds to be allocated by competition for housing assistance and 
supportive services under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with 
AIDS (HOPWA) program. The funds available under this NOFA will be used 
to fund projects for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS and their 
families under two categories of assistance: (1) Grants for special 
projects of national significance which, due to their innovative nature 
or their potential for replication, are likely to serve as effective 
models in addressing the needs of eligible persons; and (2) grants for 
projects which are part of long-term comprehensive strategies for 
providing housing and related services for eligible persons.
    The NOFA contains information concerning eligible applicants, the 
funding available, the application package, its processing, and 
selection of applications. The regulations for the HOPWA program are 
found at 24 CFR part 574. A Final Rule for this program, amending 24 
CFR part 574, was published in the Federal Register on April 11, 1994 
(59 FR 17194), and was amended by a rule establishing the Consolidated 
Plan on January 5, 1995 (60 FR 1878).

DATES: Applications for HOPWA assistance must be received at the HUD 
Headquarters Office listed below by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 17, 
1995. Conditionally selected applicants will be notified by HUD of 
their selection and may be required to submit additional information 
within two months of the date of their notification from HUD.

FOR A COPY OF APPLICATION PACKAGES CONTACT: A HUD Field Office listed 
in the appendix to this NOFA.

ADDRESSES: Completed applications must be submitted to the Office of 
Community Planning and Development, Processing Control Branch, Room 
7255, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410. HUD will treat as ineligible for 
consideration applications that are received after the deadline. A copy 
must also be sent to the HUD Field Office serving the area in which the 
applicant's project is located. A list of field offices appears at the 
end of this NOFA. The Department will not accept any application which 
is submitted to HUD via facsimile (FAX) transmission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
    The information collection requirements for the HOPWA program have 
been approved under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 by the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB), and have been assigned OMB control 
number 2506-0133 (exp. 2/28/97).
I. Purpose and Substantive Description
(a) Purpose
    The funds available under this NOFA will be used to fund projects 
for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS and their families under two 
categories of assistance: (1) Grants for special projects of national 
significance which, due to their innovative nature or their potential 
for replication, are likely to serve as effective models in addressing 
the needs of eligible persons; and (2) grants for projects which are 
part of long-term comprehensive strategies for providing housing and 
related services for eligible persons.
(b) Authority
    The assistance made available under this NOFA is authorized by the 
AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), and was appropriated by 
the HUD Appropriations Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 103-327, approved September 
28, 1994) and by the HUD Appropriations Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-124, 
approved October 28, 1993). The regulations for HOPWA are found at 24 
CFR part 574.
(c) Eligibility
    (1) States, units of general local government, and nonprofit 
organizations may apply for grants for special projects of national 
significance. (2) All States and units of general local government may 
apply for grants for projects under the second category of grants, 
except for: (A) any State that was eligible to receive a formula award 
in fiscal year 1995; and (B) any unit of general local government that 
was located in a metropolitan area or State that was eligible to 
receive a formula award in fiscal year 1995. Nonprofit organizations 
are not eligible to apply for the second category of grants.
(d) Allocation Amounts
    Up to $19,200,000 is being made available by this NOFA. Since some 
of the appropriated funds are to be derived from the recapture of prior 
year obligations, the actual amount available may be less.
    The maximum amount that an applicant may receive is $1,000,000, 
excluding administration costs. HUD reserves the right to fund less 
than the full amount requested in any application and to modify 
requests accordingly. If a request is modified by HUD, the 
conditionally selected [[Page 9261]] applicant will be required to 
modify its project plans and application to conform to the terms of HUD 
approval before execution of a grant agreement.
    Funds received under this competition are to be expended within 
three years following the date of the signing of a grant agreement. Any 
unobligated funds from previous competitions or additional funds that 
may become available as a result of deobligations or recaptures from 
previous awards may also be used to fund applications submitted in 
response to this NOFA.

(e) Program Goal

    Applicants for HOPWA assistance under this NOFA should emphasize 
the connection between housing assistance and appropriate supportive 
services in designing their programs. As stated by the National 
Commission on AIDS in Housing and the HIV/AIDS Epidemic (issued in June 
1992) there is ``frequently desperate need safe shelter that provides 
not only protection and comfort, but also a base in which and from 
which to receive services, care and support.''

II. Application Selection Process

(a) Review

    Applications will be reviewed to ensure that they meet the 
following:
    (1) Applicant eligibility. The applicant and project sponsor(s), if 
any, are eligible to apply for the specific program;
    (2) Eligible population to be served. The persons proposed to be 
served are eligible persons;
    (3) Eligible activities. The proposed activities are eligible for 
assistance under the program; and
    (4) Other requirements. The applicant is currently in compliance 
with the Federal requirements contained in 24 CFR part 574, subpart G, 
``Other Federal Requirements.''

(b) Rating

    Applications under both categories of grant will be rated in a 
national competition. To rate applications, the Department may 
establish a panel including persons not currently employed by HUD to 
obtain outside points of view, including views from other Federal 
agencies.
    (c) Rating of Applications.
    (1) Procedure. Applications will be rated based on the criteria 
listed below in paragraph (2), with a maximum of 100 points awarded. 
After rating, these applications will be placed in the rank order of 
their final score for selection.
    (2) Rating Criteria. Applications under both categories of grant 
will be rated on the following criteria:
    (A) Applicant capacity (20 points). HUD will award up to 20 points 
based on the ability of the applicant and, if applicable, any project 
sponsor(s) to develop and operate the proposed program. With regard to 
both the applicant and the project sponsor(s), HUD will consider: (a) 
Past experience in serving persons with AIDS or related diseases and 
their families; (b) past experience in programs similar to those 
proposed in the application; and (c) experience in monitoring and 
evaluating program performance.
    As applicable, the rating under this criterion will also consider 
prior performance with any HUD-administered programs, including any 
serious, outstanding audit or monitoring findings that directly affect 
the proposed project.
    (B) Need for the project in the area to be served (20 points). HUD 
will award up to 20 points based on the extent to which the need for 
the project in the area to be served is demonstrated by the relative 
numbers of AIDS cases and per capita AIDS incidence, as reported to and 
confirmed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention.
    (C) Appropriateness of program activities: Housing, supportive 
services and other assistance (30 points). HUD will award up to 30 
points based on the extent to which a plan for undertaking and managing 
the proposed activities:
    (a) Describes and responds to the need for housing and related 
supportive services of eligible persons in the community; or, in 
relation to technical assistance activities proposed in the 
application, describes and responds to the technical assistance needs 
of programs which provide housing and related supportive services for 
eligible persons;
    (b) describes how activities carried out with HOPWA funds and other 
resources will provide a continuum of housing and services to meet the 
changing needs of eligible persons, offers a personalized response to 
those needs which maximizes opportunities for independent living, and 
in the case of a family, accommodates the needs of families;
    (c) provides for monitoring and the evaluation of the assistance 
provided to participants; and
    (d) in relation to technical assistance activities proposed in the 
application, provides technical assistance related to the development 
and operation of programs and the capacity of organizations to 
undertake and manage assistance for eligible persons.
    (D) Extent of leveraged public and private resources for the 
project (10 points). HUD will award up to 10 points based on the extent 
to which resources from other public or private sources have been 
committed to support the project at the time of application.
    (E) Special projects of national significance (20 points). 
Applications for special projects of national significance will be 
rated on innovative nature of the proposal and its potential for 
replication. HUD will award up to 20 points based on the extent to 
which the project involves a new program for, or alternative method of, 
meeting the needs of eligible persons, when compared to other 
applications and projects funded in the past. The Department will 
consider the extent to which the project design, management plan, 
proposed effects, local planning and coordination of housing programs, 
the likelihood of the continuation of the State and local efforts, and 
proposed activities are exemplary and appropriate as a model for 
replication in similar localities or nationally, when compared to other 
applications and projects funded in the past.
    (F) Projects which are part of long-term comprehensive strategies 
for providing housing and related services for eligible persons (20 
points). Applications for projects for this category of assistance will 
be rated on the extent of local planning and coordination of housing 
programs. HUD will award up to 20 points based on the extent to which 
the applicant demonstrates: (a) The proposed project is part of a 
community strategy involving local, metropolitan or State-wide planning 
and coordination of housing programs designed to meet the changing 
needs of low-income persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, including 
programs providing housing assistance and related services that are 
operated by Federal, State, local, private and other entities serving 
eligible persons; and (b) the likelihood of the continuation of the 
planning and coordination.
    (d) Selection. Whether an application is conditionally selected 
will depend on its overall ranking compared to other applications. The 
Department will select applications to the extent that funds are 
available. HUD reserves the right to select lower rated applications if 
necessary to achieve geographic diversity and to ensure that a minimum 
number of applications under each category of assistance are among 
conditionally selected applications. [[Page 9262]] 
    In the event of a tie between applications, the application with 
the highest total points for the criterion need will be selected, and 
if still tied, the highest total points for the criterion 
appropriateness of housing and services. In the event of a procedural 
error that, when corrected, would result in selection of an otherwise 
eligible application during the funding round under this NOFA, HUD may 
select that application when sufficient funds become available.

III. Application Submission Requirements

    The application submission requirements are contained in the 
application package. This package includes all required forms and 
certifications, and may be obtained from a HUD Field Office listed in 
the appendix to this NOFA.

IV. Clarifications and Technical Assistance

    (a) Clarification of Application Information. In accordance with 
the provisions of 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, HUD may contact an 
applicant to seek clarification of an item in the application, or to 
request additional or missing information, but the clarification or the 
request for additional or missing information shall not relate to items 
that would improve the substantive quality of the application pertinent 
to the funding decision.
    (b) Technical Assistance. Prior to the application deadline, HUD 
field office staff will be available to provide advice and guidance to 
potential applicants on application requirements and program policies. 
Following conditional selection, HUD field office staff will be 
available to assist in clarifying or confirming information that is a 
prerequisite to the offer of a grant agreement by HUD. However, between 
the application deadline and the announcement of conditional 
selections, HUD will accept no information that would improve the 
substantive quality of the application pertinent to the funding 
decision.

V. Grant Award Process

    HUD will notify conditionally selected applicants in writing. Such 
applicants will subsequently be notified of any modification made by 
HUD, the additional project information necessary for grant award and 
the date of the two-month deadline for submission of such information. 
If an applicant is unable to meet any conditions for grant award within 
the specified time period, HUD reserves the right not to award funds 
and to use the funds available in the next competition for the 
applicable program.

VI. Other Matters

    (a) Environmental Impact. A finding of no significant impact with 
respect to the environment has been made in accordance with HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR part 50, which implement section 102(2)(C) of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The finding of no 
significant impact is available for public inspection between 7:30 a.m. 
to 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk at the 
above address.
    (b) Federalism Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated 
Official under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has 
determined that the policies contained in this Notice will not have 
substantial direct effects on States or their political subdivisions, 
or the relationship between the Federal government and the States, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government. As a result, the Notice is not subject to review 
under the Order. The Notice announces the availability of funds and 
invites applications from eligible applicants for the HOPWA program.
    (c) Impact on the Family. The General Counsel, as the Designated 
Official for Executive Order 12606, the Family, has determined that 
this Notice, to the extent the funds provided under it are directed to 
families, has the potential for a beneficial impact on family 
formation, maintenance and general well-being. The statutory authority 
for the program requires that the funds be targeted to individuals with 
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or related diseases and their 
families. Any funding provided to projects can be expected to enable 
those families with a participating member who has HIV infection to 
live in decent, safe, and sanitary housing in connection with the 
supportive services necessary to live independently in mainstream 
American society. Since the impact on families is a beneficial one, no 
further review is necessary.
    (d) Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance. HUD's 
regulation implementing section 102 of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, found at 24 CFR part 12, contains 
a number of provisions designed to ensure greater accountability and 
integrity in the provision of certain types of assistance administered 
by HUD. Additional information on the implementation of section 102 was 
published on January 16, 1992 at 57 FR 1942. The documentation, public 
access, and disclosure requirements of section 102 apply to assistance 
awarded under this NOFA as follows:
    HUD will ensure documentation and other information regarding each 
application submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate 
the basis upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, 
including any letters of support, will be made available for public 
inspection for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 days after 
the award of the assistance. Material will be made available in 
accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will 
publish notice of awards made in response to this NOFA in the Federal 
Register.
    HUD will make available to the public for five years all applicant 
disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection with this 
NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made available along with 
the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case for a period less than 
three years. All reports--both applicant disclosures and updates--will 
be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 
U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. (See 
subpart C, and the notice published in the Federal Register on January 
16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on these disclosure 
requirements.)
    (e) Prohibition on Advance Release of Funding Information. HUD's 
regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, found at 24 CFR part 4, applies 
to the funding competition announced today. The requirements of that 
rule continue to apply until the announcement of the selection of 
successful applicants.
    HUD employees involved in the review of applications and in the 
making of funding decisions are limited by part 4 from providing 
advance information to any person (other than an authorized employee of 
HUD) concerning funding decisions, or from otherwise giving any 
applicant an unfair competitive advantage. Persons who apply for 
assistance in this competition should confine their inquiries to the 
subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
    Applicants who have questions should contact the HUD Office of 
Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-free number.) The Office of 
Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD employees, as 
well. However, a HUD employee who has specific [[Page 9263]] program 
questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed 
with persons outside the Department, should contact his or her Regional 
or Field Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to 
which the question pertains.
    (f) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities. The use of funds 
awarded under this NOFA is subject to the disclosure requirements and 
prohibitions of section 319 of the Department of Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (The 
``Byrd Amendment'') and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 87. 
These authorities prohibit recipients of federal contracts, grants, or 
loans from using appropriated funds for lobbying the Executive or 
Legislative branches of the federal government in connection with a 
specific contract, grant, or loan. The prohibition also covers the 
awarding of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless 
the recipient has made an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. 
Under 24 CFR part 87, applicants, recipients, and subrecipients of 
assistance exceeding $100,000 must certify that no federal funds have 
been or will be spent on lobbying activities in connection with the 
assistance. A standard disclosure form, SF-LLL, ``Disclosure Form to 
Report Lobbying'', must be used to disclose lobbying with other than 
Federally appropriated funds at the time of application.
    (g) Section 112 HUD Reform Act. Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act 
amended the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act by adding 
section 13, which contains two provisions dealing with efforts to 
influence HUD's decisions with respect to financial assistance. The 
first imposes disclosure requirements on those who are typically 
involved in these efforts--those who pay others to influence the award 
of assistance or the taking of a management action by the Department 
and those who are paid to provide the influence. The second restricts 
the payment of fees to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD 
assistance, if the fees are tied to the number of housing units 
received or are based on the amount of assistance received, or if they 
are contingent upon the receipt of assistance.
    Section 13 was implemented by final rule codified at 24 CFR part 
86. If readers are involved in any efforts to influence the Department 
in these ways, they are urged to read that rule, particularly the 
examples contained in Appendix A of the rule.
    Any questions about the rule should be directed to the Director, 
Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410-3000. 
Telephone: (202) 708-3815 (TDD/VOICE); (This is not a toll-free 
number.) Forms necessary for compliance with the rule may be obtained 
from the local HUD office.
    (h) Drug-Free Workplace Certification. In accordance with 24 CFR 
24.630, an applicant must submit its Certification for a Drug-Free 
Workplace (Form HUD-50070).
    (i) Extenuating Circumstances. HUD may consider for funding any 
application received at the HUD Headquarters address shown in the 
``Addresses'' section of this NOFA by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the 
first business day after the deadline shown in the ``Date'' section if 
the applicant can show there were circumstances beyond its control that 
delayed delivery of the application, such as the failure of a delivery 
service to deliver the application on or before the date it specified.
