HOPE for Homeownership of Single Family Homes Program (HOPE 3); 
Notice of Fund Availability

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

ACTION: Notice of fund availability.

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

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the availability of approximately $22 
million in funding for implementation grants for the HOPE for 
Homeownership of Single Family Homes Program (HOPE 3). The Notice 
contains information concerning eligible applicants, funding available 
for implementation grants, and application requirements and procedures. 
The NOFA is issued under the final rule for the HOPE 3 Program 
published July 7, 1993 (58 FR 36518) and codified at 24 CFR part 572. 
The rule contains detailed programmatic information and the 
requirements for the HOPE 3 program. Applicants are advised to consult 
the regulation in order to prepare an application in compliance with 
the requirements of the final rule, many of which are not repeated in 
this NOFA. Failure to follow the rule will result in applications being 
rejected by HUD.

DATES: Applications for implementation grants for the HOPE 3 program 
must be physically received in the appropriate HUD Field Office by 4:30 
p.m. local time on April 25, 1995. Applications may be hand delivered 
to the appropriate HUD Field Office no later than 4:30 p.m. local time 
on the deadline date. It is not sufficient for an application to bear a 
postmark within the deadline. Applications sent by facsimile (FAX) will 
not be accepted. HUD will not waive this deadline for actual submission 
for any reason. The application deadline is firm as to date and hour. 
In the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, the Department 
will treat as ineligible for consideration any application that is 
received after the deadline. Applicants should take this policy into 
account and consider early submission to avoid any risk of loss of 
eligibility brought about by any unanticipated or delivery-related 
problems.

ADDRESSES: An original and two copies of the completed application must 
be submitted to the HUD Field Office having jurisdiction over the 
locality or areas in which the proposed program is located. 
Applications should be addressed to the attention of: Director, 
Community Planning and Development Division. A list of HUD Field 
Offices appears at the end of this NOFA. Applicants must submit their 
applications to the CPD Division in the correct Field Office, including 
applicants in States with more than one Field Office. For applications 
submitted by Indian tribes and IHAs, the correct Field Office is the 
CPD Division in the office listed at the end of the NOFA with 
jurisdiction over the geographic area covered by the application. 
Indian tribes and IHAs should not submit their applications to the 
Office of Native American Programs. Applicants should contact their 
local office to confirm the appropriate place for submission. Failure 
to submit an application to the correct Field Office in accordance with 
the above procedures will result in disqualification of the 
application.

Housing Programs, Department of Housing and Urban Development, room 
7168, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have 
been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, and have been assigned OMB control 
number 2506-0128.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

    The funding made available under this NOFA is authorized by title 
IV of the National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 12891-12898), 
which created the HOPE 3 Program. The final rule for the program, 
published in the Federal Register on July 7, 1993, is codified at 24 
CFR part 572. If there is any conflict between this NOFA and the 
regulation, the regulation shall be controlling. HUD may also issue 
additional issuances containing more detailed policy with respect to 
various aspects of the program, application processing instructions for 
Field Offices, operation of the Cash and Management Information System, 
obtaining environmental clearance, and similar matters, which shall be 
subject to the regulations and will be available to the public upon 
request to the applicable Field Office.

B. Allocation Amounts

    The purpose of this NOFA is to announce the availability of 
approximately $22 million in funds for implementation grants, 
appropriated by the HUD Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Pub. 
L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994). The amount made available for 
implementation grants has been allocated to each of the 10 HUD 
geographical areas (formerly Regions) by a formula described in the 
final rule (24 CFR 572.210(b)). However, no former Region has been 
allocated less than $1.0 million in order to ensure that national 
geographic diversity is maintained. The formula results in the 
following allocations based upon 1993 data. Should more recent data 
become available during the application solicitation period, revised 
allocations will be published in the Federal Register. (The numbered 
geographical areas correspond to the number of the former HUD Region; 
e.g, 1=former Region I).

1. $1,018,000
2. $1,934,000
3. $1,989,000
4. $4,311,000
5. $3,171,000
6. $3,084,000
7. $1,000,000
8. $1,000,000
9. $3,493,000
10. $1,000,000

C. Reallocation of Funds

    If funds remain after HUD has approved all approvable 
implementation grant applications in a HUD geographical area (formerly 
Region) or if any funds become available due to deobligation of grant 
amounts, the remaining amounts from each former Region may be combined 
and HUD may use them in accordance with Sec. 572.310(f) of the 
regulation.

D. Implementation Grant Cap

    1. For FY 1995, the maximum total grant amount for a single 
application is $1.0 million. A single applicant may apply for more than 
one implementation grant, but HUD will not approve grants for any one 
applicant that total more than $1.0 million.
    2. Applicants should refer to 24 CFR 572.210(c) for overall 
limitations on implementation grants.

E. Eligible Applicants

    An eligible applicant is a private nonprofit organization; a 
cooperative association; or a public body (including a PHA, an IHA, 
Indian tribe or an agency or instrumentality of a public 
[[Page 10447]] body) in cooperation with a private nonprofit 
organization, all as further defined in the regulations.

II. Implementation Grant Applications

A. Application Process

    Application packages for implementation grants, including SF 424, 
other forms, and instructions for preparing applications, are available 
from HUD's Processing and Control Unit (PCU). Applicants should FAX 
their written requests for an application to the PCU at (202) 708-3363. 
The request should include the name and address of the applicant, the 
name of the competition (HOPE 3), and the Federal Register number of 
this NOFA. Only timely applications received in the appropriate Field 
Office will be considered for funding. Applications (original and two 
copies) must be physically received no later than 4:30 p.m. on the 
deadline (see Dates at the beginning of this NOFA) at the appropriate 
HUD Field Office, Attention: Director, Community Planning and 
Development Division. It is not sufficient for an application to bear a 
postmark within the deadline. Applications sent by facsimile (FAX) will 
not be accepted.

B. Application Submission Requirements

    Complete application submission requirements are contained in the 
application package. All potential applicants are urged to contact 
their HUD Field Office for information and guidance from HUD about 
program requirements and for the time and place of any workshops or 
training sessions to be held within the Field Office's jurisdiction. If 
an application is being submitted by an organization that is a current 
HOPE 3 grant recipient, the applicant may submit information from the 
previous year's application as long as the information is still current 
and accurate.

C. Consolidated Plan/Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy

    On January 5, 1995, the final consolidated plan regulation (to be 
codified in 24 CFR part 91) was published. The consolidated plan 
combines into a single plan the requirements of the comprehensive 
housing affordability strategy, the community development plan required 
for the Community Development Block Grant program, and the submission 
requirements for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Emergency 
Shelter Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS formula 
programs. Changes to the HOPE 3 program regulations to substitute 
``consolidated plan'' for ``comprehensive housing affordability 
strategy'' will be published shortly.
    As provided in Sec. 572.400, the application must contain a 
certification from the State or local government that the proposed 
activities are consistent with the HUD-approved comprehensive housing 
affordability strategy of the applicable state or local government. 
During FY 1995, jurisdictions will be making the transition from the 
comprehensive housing affordability strategies to the consolidated 
plans. If the jurisdiction has an approved consolidated plan, the 
certification of consistency must be made with respect to the 
consolidated plan. If the jurisdiction still has a comprehensive 
housing affordability strategy in effect, the certification of 
consistency must be made with respect to the comprehensive housing 
affordability strategy. The requirements in Sec. 572.400 regarding the 
various types of applicants and the timing for submission of the 
certification of consistency remain in effect.

D. Selection Process

    The selection process for implementation grants under the HOPE 3 
Program consists of a screening review, and then, for those 
applications meeting all screening requirements, rating and ranking 
under substantive rating criteria. Rating and ranking will only occur 
if there are more applications that meet screening requirements than 
funds available in that former Region.

E. Screening Process/Corrections to Deficient Applications

    (1) HUD will screen each application submitted on or before the 
deadline to determine if it is complete, is internally consistent, 
contains correct computations, and complies will all requirements of 
this NOFA and the regulation. In addition, HUD will determine whether 
there appear to be a sufficient number of suitable, available 
properties in the general locations identified in the application for 
the proposed activities. For this purpose, at least ten suitable units 
in eligible properties must be currently available or have been 
available in the 12-month period prior to application submission. Where 
HUD determines that an application as initially submitted is 
fundamentally incomplete or would require substantial revisions, it 
will not consider the application further.
    (2) Where HUD determines an application is deficient in one or more 
of the areas in paragraph (E)(1) of this section but is not 
fundamentally incomplete and does not require substantial revisions, it 
will notify the applicant in writing and give it an opportunity to 
correct the technical deficiencies in its application. HUD will not 
notify the applicant of any deficiencies that relate solely to the 
rating of the application.
    (3) The notification will require the applicant to submit 
additional or corrected material so that it is received in the 
appropriate HUD Field Office no later than 4:30 p.m. local time on the 
14th calendar day after the date of the written notification to the 
applicant giving it an opportunity to modify its application. HUD may 
not extend this deadline for actual receipt of the material for any 
reason. After review of all additional or corrected materials, HUD will 
not consider further any applications that do not comply with the 
requirements of the NOFA and the regulation.

F. Rating Criteria

    All applications meeting screening requirements will be selected 
for funding if sufficient funds are available within the allocation to 
each HUD geographical area (formerly Region). If there are more 
applications that meet screening requirements than funds available in 
that former Region, all applications meeting the screening requirements 
will be rated and ranked, using the following substantive rating 
criteria:
    1. Capability of the Applicant--up to 25 points.
    2. Demonstrated Public/Private Support--up to 20 points.
    3. Quality of Program Design--up to 30 points.
    4. Efficiency--up to 10 points.
    5. Inventory--up to 5 points.
    6. Minority Business Enterprise/Women-owned Business Enterprise--up 
to 5 points.
    7. Fair Housing Choice--up to 5 points.
    Further description of the rating of applications and of the 
factors considered under each rating criterion may be found in 
Sec. 572.320 of the final rule.

G. Ranking and Selection

    After assigning points under the selection criteria, HUD will rank 
applications within the former Regions. HUD shall examine the rankings 
and, where it determines that applications falling below a certain 
point total are not suitable or not feasible for homeownership, it may 
establish a minimum number of points for [[Page 10448]] applications to 
qualify to be selected for funding.
    HUD shall select for funding in rank order all fundable 
applications. Further description of the procedure for selection is 
contained in Sec. 572.310 of the regulation.

III. Other Matters

Environmental Impact

    A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
has been made for the program regulations in accordance with HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR part 50, which implements section 102(2)(C) of 
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The Finding is available 
for public inspection between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the 
Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of the General Counsel, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, room 10276, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.

Federalism Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for HUD under 
section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that 
the provisions in this NOFA are closely based on statutory requirements 
and impose no significant additional burdens on States or other public 
bodies. This NOFA does not affect the relationship between the Federal 
Government and the States and other public bodies or the distribution 
of power and responsibilities among various levels of government. 
Therefore, the policy is not subject to review under Executive Order 
12612.

Family Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, The Family, has also determined that some of the policies 
in this NOFA will have a potential significant impact on the formation, 
maintenance, and general well-being of the family. Achievement of 
homeownership by low-income families in the program can be expected to 
support family values, by helping families achieve security and 
independence; by enabling them to live in decent, safe and sanitary 
housing; and by giving them the skills and means to live independently 
in mainstream American society. Since the impact on the family is 
beneficial, no further review is necessary.

Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act--Accountability in the Provision of 
HUD Assistance

    HUD will ensure that 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) in 
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD 
publish a Federal Register notice of all recipients awarded assistance 
under this NOFA. (See 24 CFR part 12 for further information on these 
documentation and public access requirements.)

Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act--Prohibition against Advance 
Information on Funding Decisions

    Section 103 of the Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 
(HUD Reform Act) proscribes the communication of certain information by 
HUD employees to persons not authorized to receive that information 
during the selection process for the award of assistance. HUD's 
regulations implementing section 103 are at 24 CFR part 4. In 
accordance with the requirements of section 103, HUD employees involved 
in the review of applications and in the making of funding decisions 
are restrained by 24 CFR 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 by 24 CFR part 4. Applicants who have questions should 
contact the HUD Office of Ethics at the address or telephone number in 
the following paragraph.

Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act

    Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act added a new section 13 to the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3531). 
Section 13 contains two provisions concerning 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 this award or 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 at 24 CFR part 86. 
Appendix A of the rule contains example of activities covered by the 
rule. Any questions concerning the rule should be directed to the 
Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; (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.

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) (``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.
    Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs) established by an Indian tribe as 
a result of the exercise of the tribe's sovereign power are excluded 
from coverage of the Byrd Amendment, but IHAs established under State 
law are not excluded from the statute's coverage.
