[Docket No. N-95-3854; FR-3785-N-01]


Notice of Funding Availability for Service Coordinators for 
Public Housing Agencies

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

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year 1994 and 
Fiscal Year (FY) 1995.

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

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the availability of up to $46.043 million 
in funding for service coordinators and supportive services for elderly 
and non-elderly disabled residents in public housing. The service 
coordinators in public housing program is a comprehensive effort to 
ensure that elderly and non-elderly disabled residents have access to 
the services they need to enhance the quality of life, to live 
independently, and to avoid premature or unnecessary 
institutionalization.
    In this NOFA, a new and streamlined grant application/award process 
is implemented. HUD headquarters will conduct a national lottery 
competition for public housing agencies (PHAs) to determine funding 
awards. In this lottery competition, eligible PHAs must submit an 
application with a minimum amount of documentation to pass screening 
and selection criteria for inclusion in the lottery competition.
    In the body of this NOFA is information concerning:
    (1) The principal objectives of the competition, the funding 
available, eligible applicants, and screening and selection criteria;
    (2) The application process, including how to apply and how 
selections will be made; and
    (3) A checklist of application submission requirements.

DATES: The due date for submission of applications in response to this 
NOFA is April 28, 1995. Applications must be postmarked by midnight, or 
hand-delivered to the local HUD Office by 3:00 p.m. on April 28, 1995. 
A Fax copy is not acceptable. The above-stated application deadline is 
firm as to date, hour and place. 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 practice into account and make early 
submission of their materials to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility 
brought about by unanticipated delays or other delivery-related 
problems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this notice 
have been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (USC 3501-3520). The

in the Federal Register.
    No person may be subjected to a penalty for failure to comply with 
the information collection requirements until they have been approved 
and assigned an OMB control number. The public reporting burden for the 
collection of information requirements is estimated to include the time 
for reviewing the instructions, searching existing data sources, 
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing 
the collection of information. Interested persons may submit comments 
on the paperwork burden proposals to Joseph F. Lackey, Jr. OMB Desk 
Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(A)(1) Authority

    This program is authorized by section 673 of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992 (codified at 42 USC 13631; hereafter 
referred to as ``1992 HCD Act'').
(A)(2) 24 CFR Part 135

    Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and the 
regulations at 24 CFR part 135 (see June 30, 1994 Interim Rule, 59 FR 
33866) are applicable to funding awards made under this NOFA. One of 
the purposes of the assistance is to give to the greatest extent 
feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, State and local laws 
and regulations, job training, employment, contracting and other 
economic opportunities to section 3 residents and section 3 business 
concerns.

(B) Background

    The service coordinators in public housing program is a 
comprehensive effort to ensure that elderly and non-elderly disabled 
residents have access to the services they need to live independently, 
regardless of the type of unit in which they reside in the public 
housing development, and to prevent placement in nursing homes or 
institutions.
    A service coordinator is hired by a public housing authority (PHA) 
and is responsible for assuring that the elderly and disabled residents 
are linked to needed supportive services. Service coordination may be 
performed by: An on-site staff person hired by the PHA for a project or 
shared between PHA projects; an on-site staff person hired from a third 
party agency, and contracted to one or more projects; an on-site staff 
person hired by a third party agency, and contracted to one or more PHA 
projects; or a staff person hired by a third party agency hired by the 
PHA, who provides case management and services coordination for a PHA 
resident in concert with the distribution of that agency or another 
agency's funding.
    The major functions of the service coordinator are:

--To provide general case management and referral services to all 
residents needing such assistance;
--To establish linkage with all agencies and service providers in the 
community;
--To set out a directory of providers for use by both PHA staff and 
residents;
--To refer and link the residents of the PHA to service providers in 
the general community;
--To educate residents on service availability, application, 
procedures, client rights;
--To develop case plans in coordination with assessment services in the 
community or with a Professional Assessment Committee (as defined in 
Sec. 802(e)(3)(B) of the National Affordable Housing Act, codified at 
42 U.S.C. 8011);
--To monitor the ongoing provision of services from community agencies 
and to keep the case management and provider agency current with the 
progress of the individual;
--To set up volunteer support programs with service organizations in 
the community; [[Page 10765]] 
--To help the residents build support networks with other residents, 
family and friends;
--To provide training to PHA residents in the obligation of tenancy or 
coordinate such training;
--To educate other staff on the management team on issues related to 
aging in place and service coordination, to help them to better work 
with and assist residents.

    Each service coordinator shall be trained in the aging process, 
elder services, disability services, eligibility for and procedures of 
Federal and applicable State entitlement programs, legal liability 
issues relating to providing service coordination, drug and alcohol use 
and abuse by the elderly, and mental health issues.
    In accordance with section 673 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act Amendments of 1992, the grant may include funding for 
up to 15 percent of the costs of eligible supportive services, in 
addition to the costs specifically associated with the service 
coordinator. The PHA will be required to show that at least 85 percent 
of the costs of related supported services will be paid with non-grant 
funds.
    Eligible supportive services include health-related services, 
mental health services, services for non-medical counseling, meals, 
transportation, personal care, bathing, toileting, housekeeping, chore 
assistance, safety, group and socialization activities, assistance with 
medications (in accordance with any applicable State laws), case 
management, personal emergency response, and other appropriate 
services.
    Finally, in accordance with section 673 of the 1992 HCD Act, 
supportive services funded by this competition may not be provided to 
any person receiving assistance under the Congregate Housing Services 
Act of 1978 or Section 802 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 
Housing Act.

(C) Allocation Amounts

    For FY 1994, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1994 
(Pub. L. 103-124, Approved October 28, 1993) made $30 million available 
for the service coordinators in public housing program. For FY 1995, 
the Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, 
and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995 (Pub. L. 103-327, 
approved September 28, 1994) made $30 million available for the service 
coordinators in public housing program. Together these two 
appropriations bills make approximately $60 million available to PHAs 
for service coordinators in public housing. However, since some of the 
appropriated funds are to be derived from carryover funds or the 
recapture of prior year obligations, the actual amount available is 
$46.043 million.
    In this competition, an eligible PHA may apply for a three year 
grant. The funding level is based on the number of elderly and disabled 
families in the PHA's occupied units:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Maximum 
       Elderly/disabled families in PHA occupied units          dollars 
                                                                per PHA 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
250 to 499..................................................      90,000
500 to 999..................................................     150,000
1,000 to 9,999..............................................     675,000
10,000 +....................................................   1,875,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The funds are to be used for: (1) The cost of employing or 
otherwise retaining the services of one or more service coordinators to 
coordinate the provision of supportive services for residents who are 
elderly families and disabled families; and (2) the expenses for the 
provision of services for such residents of the PHA. In addition, not 
more than 15 percent of the cost of providing supportive services is 
eligible for funding under this grant; however, the 15 percent cost for 
the provision of supportive services is an optional feature of this 
grant.
    The amounts allocated under this NOFA will be awarded based on a 
national lottery for selection from all PHAs that pass both the 
screening and selection criteria. The Department reserves the right to 
award grants less than the amount requested by the PHA, as described 
below.
    As PHAs are selected, the costs of funding the applications will be 
counted against the total funds available under this NOFA. Applications 
will be funded in full in accordance with this NOFA. However, when the 
remaining funds are insufficient to fund the last PHA application in 
full, HUD Headquarters may fund that application to the extent of the 
funding available and the PHA's willingness to accept a reduced award 
amount. PHAs that do not wish to have the size of their award reduced 
may indicate in their ``Letter of Intent'' (described below) that they 
do not wish to be considered for a reduced award of funds. HUD 
Headquarters will skip over these PHAs if assigning the remaining 
funding would result in a reduced funding level.
    After the lottery, Headquarters will award grants to the local HUD 
offices under that jurisdiction by fund assignment for the total number 
of PHAs approved in the competition. Within the limits of available 
federal funds, HUD will make grant awards consistent with the statute 
and the requirements in this NOFA.

(D) Eligibility

(1) Eligible Applicants
    (a) Eligible applicants are PHAs operating low-rent conventional 
public housing with at least 250 or more elderly, or disabled families. 
However, two or more PHAs, in the same geographical area with fewer 
than 250 elderly or disabled families, may submit a joint application.
    (b) To be an eligible applicant, the PHA(s) must also have a good 
record of maintaining and operating public housing as determined by the 
Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP) (see 24 CFR Part 
901). In this NOFA, a PHA can establish a ``good record of maintaining 
and operating public housing'' if (1) the PHA has earned a PHMAP score 
of 60 or more points; (2) the PHA has instituted an Improvement Plan 
that is acceptable to the local HUD Office; or (3) the PHA is operating 
under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Local HUD Offices will verify 
that the PHA has complied with all requirements, including verification 
of a passing PHMAP score, or an Improvement Plan that is satisfactory 
to the local HUD Office or a MOA, and an explanation of the PHA's 
ability to implement the elderly service coordinator project as noted 
above.
(2) Ineligible Applicants
    Ineligible applicants are PHAs for which:
    (a) The Department of Justice has brought a civil rights suit 
against the applicant PHA, and the suit is pending;
    (b) There has been an adjudication of a civil rights violation in a 
civil action brought against the PHA by a private individual, unless 
the PHA is operating in compliance with court order, or implementing a 
HUD approved tenant selection and assignment plan or compliance 
agreement designed to correct the areas of noncompliance;
    (c) There are outstanding findings of noncompliance with civil 
rights statutes, Executive Orders, or regulations as a result of formal 
administrative proceedings, or the Secretary has issued a charge 
against the applicant under the Fair Housing Act, unless the applicant 
is operating under a conciliation or compliance agreement designed to 
correct the areas of noncompliance;
    (d) HUD has deferred application processing by HUD under title VI 
of the [[Page 10766]] Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Attorney General's 
Guidelines (28 CFR 50.3) and the HUD title VI regulations (24 CFR 1.8) 
and procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1) or under section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and HUD regulations (24 CFR 8.57); or
    (e) There are serious unaddressed Inspector General Audit findings, 
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity monitoring review findings, or local 
HUD office management review findings.

II. Application Process

(A) Application Deadline

    The due date for submission of applications in response to this 
NOFA is April 28, 1995. Applications must be postmarked by midnight, or 
hand-delivered to the local HUD Office by 3:00 P.M. on April 28, 1995. 
A Fax is not acceptable. (See Appendix A for a listing of local HUD 
Offices.) The above-stated application deadline is firm as to date, 
hour and place. 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 practice into account and make early submission of their 
materials to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by 
unanticipated delays or other delivery-related problems.

(B) Screening Criteria

    All PHAs will automatically be notified by the local HUD Office of 
the receipt of their letter and accompanying documentation and will be 
informed if they pass the screening criteria. To ensure minimum 
standards of equity and fairness, the local HUD Office will screen all 
PHA applications for completeness to determine conformity to the 
requirements of this announcement. PHAs which do not pass the screening 
criteria will receive no further consideration for the lottery. PHAs 
that fail to submit any of the documents accompanying the ``Letter of 
Intent'' will not be eligible to participate in the lottery.
    The screening criteria are as follows:
    (i) The PHA submits an application package consisting of a ``Letter 
of Intent,'' and all required accompanying documentation set forth in 
section III(A) in a timely fashion in accordance with section II(A) of 
this NOFA;
    (ii) The PHA meets the eligibility requirements set forth in 
section I(D) of this NOFA.

(C) Selection Criteria

    PHAs that meet the eligibility requirements outlined in this NOFA, 
and submit all of the required information will pass the screening 
criteria. PHAs passing the screening criteria will be further reviewed 
by an independent review panel of at least two individuals in each 
local HUD Office to give each application a ``pass'' or ``fail'' 
determination in the following criteria:
    (i) Proposed funding amount. The Standard Form 424--Application for 
Federal Assistance requests an amount of funds not to exceed the amount 
specified in the funding categories for PHAs in section I(C) of this 
NOFA; and Standard Form 424A--Budget Information--Non-Construction 
Programs.
    (ii) Evidence of Need for Assistance. The PHA provides:
    (a) Documentation evidencing the number of elderly/disabled 
families residing in the PHA that will be served by the grant;
    (b) Documentation briefly describing key problem(s)/condition(s) 
relevant to the need for the grant;
    (c) If optional supportive services will be provided in the grant, 
verification of access to pertinent supportive services to address the 
needs of the residents; and a discussion of the relevant supportive 
services that will be provided, and the PHA's ability to acquire other 
sources of funds to assist in the procurement of needed supportive 
services. (Other sources of funds may be ``in-kind'' services or other 
volunteer-type services from the community.)
    (iii) Verification of PHMAP Score. Supporting documentation 
evidencing either a PHMAP score of at least 60 points, an approved 
Improvement Plan or MOA;
    (iv) Forms. Submission of the following forms:
    (1) Drug-Free Workplace Certification,
    (2) Assurances--Non-Construction Programs--Standard Form SF-424B,
    (3) Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report--Form HUD-2880, 
and
    (4) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities--(SF-LLL Form), if applicable 
(see Section V.G of this NOFA).

(D) Selection Process

    Headquarters will select all eligible PHAs to be funded based on a 
lottery. All PHAs identified by the local HUD Offices as passing the 
screening and selection criteria identified in this NOFA will be 
eligible for the national lottery selection process. Local HUD Offices 
will submit a memorandum with the amount of the grant, name and other 
basic information of eligible PHAs passing the screening and selection 
criteria to HUD Headquarters, Office of Public and Indian Housing, 
Office of Community Relations and Involvement, Room 4112, Attention: 
Bertha Jones. HUD will hold the lottery in the Office of Public and 
Indian Housing at HUD Headquarters, 451 7th street, S.W., Washington, 
DC 20410, upon receipt of the names of all ``passing'' PHAs. After 
Headquarters conducts the lottery, Headquarters will notify the local 
HUD Offices of the results of the lottery. Local HUD Offices will then 
notify the PHAs of the results of the Lottery.

III. Checklist of Application Submission Requirements

(A) Application Requirements.

    Applicants must complete and submit applications in accordance with 
instructions contained in this NOFA. Each applicant may submit only one 
application under this announcement. If two or more PHAs are jointly 
making a request for funds and plan to share a service coordinator, one 
applicant must act as the ``lead PHA'' and submit a transmittal letter 
covering all requests, which must be submitted to HUD together. This 
insures that all multiple requests are reviewed as one package.
    The following is a checklist of the application contents. 
Interested PHAs must submit a ``Letter of Intent'' to compete in the 
lottery. The ``Letter of Intent'' and supporting documentation 
described below should not exceed 15 pages, and must be arranged and 
identified in the application in the order in which it appears below.
    Section I--Proposed funding amount.
    (a) The Standard Form 424--Application for Federal Assistance 
should include the amount of funds being requested not to exceed the 
amount specified in the funding categories for PHAs in section I(C) of 
this NOFA.
    (b) Standard Form SF-424A--Budget Information--Non-Construction 
Programs should also be included in Section I.
    Section II--Evidence of need for assistance.
    (a) Documentation providing evidence of the number of elderly/
disabled families residing in the PHA that are eligible to be served by 
this grant. Documentation briefly describing key problem(s)/
condition(s) relevant to the needs of the elderly and non-elderly 
disabled residents;
    (b) Description of any optional supportive services that will be 
provided including the costs associated with providing the supportive 
services. Applicants should note that a PHA is not required to use any 
portion of the grant to cover the costs of the supportive 
[[Page 10767]] services. However, the grant may not be used to cover 
more than 15 percent of the costs of supportive services (i.e. if the 
PHA elects to provide supportive services for its eligible residents, 
then the PHA must provide or obtain other sources of funds to cover at 
least 85 percent of the costs of supportive services).
    (c) If the PHA elects to use the grant to cover up to 15 percent of 
the costs of supportive services, then the PHA must also submit written 
commitments, contracts or letters of agreement evidencing: (1) The 
total costs of the proposed supportive services; (2) the availability 
of non-grant funds to cover at least 85% of the costs of the supportive 
services. (However ``in-kind'' services or other volunteer-type 
services from the community may be used in lieu of non-grant funds.) 
The written commitments, contracts or letters of agreement must be 
executed by an authorized individual on behalf of the organization or 
entity providing either the non-grant funding or the ``in-kind'' 
services.
    Section III--Verification of passing PHMAP score or appropriate 
explanation.
    If the housing authority received a PHMAP score of less than 60, it 
should include appropriate documentation of its Improvement Plan or 
MOA, and its ability to implement the elderly services coordinator 
project.
    Section IV--Certifications, Assurances and Forms.
    (a) Certification of compliance with all applicable civil rights 
laws and requirements;
    (b) Drug-Free Workplace Certification;
    (c) Assurances--Non-Construction Programs--Standard Form SF-424B;
    (d) Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report--Form HUD-2880; 
and
    (e) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities--(SF-LLL Form), if applicable 
(see Section V.G of this NOFA).

IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications

    To be eligible for processing, an application must be received by 
the local HUD Office no later than the application deadline date and 
time specified in this NOFA. The local HUD Office will screen all 
applications and notify PHAs of technical deficiencies by letter. 
Allowable corrections relate only to technical items, as determined by 
HUD, such as a missing signature on a certification or a missing page 
from a required document. (However, failure to submit a required 
document will constitute a ``failure'' of the screening criteria, and 
the application will be rejected as incomplete.)
    All PHAs must submit corrections within 14 calendar days from the 
date of HUD's letter notifying the applicant of any technical 
deficiency. Information received after 3:00 p.m. local time on the 
fourteenth calendar day of the correction period will not be accepted 
and the application will be rejected as being incomplete.

V. Other Matters

A. Environmental Review

    In accordance with 40 CFR 1508.4 of the regulations of the Council 
on Environmental Quality and 24 CFR 50.20(o)(4) of the HUD regulations, 
the policies and procedures contained in this NOFA relate only to the 
provision of supportive services, and therefore, are categorically 
excluded from the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act.

B. Executive Order 12612, Federalism

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within 
the meaning of the Order. The NOFA makes funds available to PHAs to 
employ or otherwise retain the services of service coordinators, and to 
provide for supportive services for elderly or disabled residents of 
the PHA. As such, there are no direct implications on the relationship 
between the Federal government and the states or on the distribution of 
power and responsibilities among various levels of government.

C. Executive Order 12606, The Family

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this NOFA will not have a 
significant impact on the formation, maintenance, and general well-
being of families except indirectly to the extent of the social and 
other benefits expected from this program of assistance.

D. Documentation and Public Access Requirements: HUD Reform Act

    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) and 
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will 
include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its 
quarterly Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance 
awarded on a competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and 
the notice published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 
1942), for further information on these requirements.)
E. Prohibition Against Advance Information on Funding Decisions

    HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the HUD Reform Act was 
published on May 13, 1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 
12, 1991. That regulation, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the 
funding competition announced today. The requirements of the 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 restrained 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 program questions, such 
as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons 
outside the Department, should contact the assistant general counsel 
for the geographical region or Field Office Counsel, or Headquarters 
counsel for the program to which the question pertains.

F. Prohibition Against Lobbying of HUD Personnel

    Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
(42 U.S.C. 3537b) 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 [[Page 10768]] 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 published in the Federal 
Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). The final rule is 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 part 86, particularly 
the examples contained in Appendix A of the regulation.
    Any questions about the rule should be directed to the 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: (202) 708-1112. These are not toll-free numbers. Forms 
necessary for compliance with the rule may be obtained from the local 
HUD office.

G. 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) and the implementing regulations at 
24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit recipients of federal
