Commissioner
[Docket No. N-95-3762; FR-3613-N-03]


Announcement of Funding Awards for Preservation Support Grants 
and Partial Cancellation

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

ACTION: Announcement of funding awards and notice of partial 
cancellation.

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

SUMMARY: The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published in the 
Federal Register on June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30640), announced the 
availability of up to $6 million in funding for Preservation Support 
Grants. Eligible applicants could apply in one of two categories. 
First, Outreach and Training; and second, Preservation Activity Grants. 
This announcement notifies the public of the cancellation of the 
Preservation Activity Grant, in part, because the language of the NOFA 
did not allow HUD to select the types of activities it wished to fund. 
The Department would have been required to fully fund applicants in 
rank order, even if part or all of a high ranking application contained 
activities that the Department did not find appropriate for the current 
needs of the Preservation program.
    In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this announcement 
notifies the public of funding decisions made by the Department under 
the Preservation Support Grants NOFA. This announcement contains the 
names and addresses of the award winners and the amounts of the awards 
for the Outreach and Training Grants.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Outreach and Training grant funds were 
made available to resident-controlled or community-based nonprofit 
organizations with experience in resident education and organizing to 
conduct community-, city-, or county-wide outreach to identify, 
organize and deliver training to residents of eligible low-income 
housing.
    The 1995 awards announced in this Notice were selected for funding 
based on applications submitted pursuant to the NOFA published in the 
Federal Register on June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30640). Applications were 
reviewed and selected for funding on the basis of selection criteria 
contained in that Notice.
    A total of $3.4 million was awarded to 10 grantees who will aid 
residents in organizing and in possibly pursuing the purchase of 
developments where affordable status is threatened. In accordance with 
section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235, approved December 15, 1989), the
