NOFA for Youth Development Initiative Under Public and Indian
Housing Family Investment Centers
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HUD is announcing the availability of up to $10 million in
funding for Fiscal Year 1995 for a Youth Development Initiative under
the Family Investment Center Program (FIC). The Youth Development
Initiative under FIC will provide up to approximately 10 grants for
innovative violence abatement strategies that have been developed by
youth for public housing. The Youth Development Initiative advances the
goals of the Clinton Administration's Operation Safe Home, a major
initiative that addresses the larger problem of violence in America's
low-income communities. The Youth Development Initiative will provide
young individuals (ages 13-25), including noncustodial parents with
child support agreements for children that are public housing residents
and who would be capable of meeting their obligations by being provided
such services, with better access to comprehensive education and
employment opportunities and supportive services. The grants will be
for up to 3 to 5 years in duration, depending upon the activities
undertaken, and will involve youth as active partners, to provide
leadership opportunities and improve the capacity for long-term
training and services for young residents. The final rule on this
program was published in the Federal Register on August 24, 1994, as
subpart D of 24 CFR part 964.
In the body of this document is information concerning the purpose
of the NOFA, eligibility, available amounts, rating factors, and
application processing, including how to apply and how selections will
be made.
DATES: Application kits will be available beginning May 30, 1995. The
application deadline will be 3:00 p.m., local time, on June 29, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this notice
have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget, under
section 3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), and assigned OMB control number 2577-0189.
I. Purpose and Substantive Description
A. Authority
Section 22 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.
1437t) provides for the establishment of Family Investment Centers
(FIC). The final rule implementing the FIC Program for public housing
was published on August 24, 1994 (59 FR 43622), as part 964, subpart D.
B. Allocation Amounts
In this NOFA, up to $10 million is being made available to public
housing agencies (PHAs) for the Youth Development Initiative to further
Operation Safe Home. The Department's intention to use the total of $10
million for Youth Development Initiative activities was announced in
the NOFA for Public and Indian Housing Family Investment Centers,
published on February 15, 1995 (60 FR 8900).
The FIC Youth Development Initiative grants awarded under this NOFA
will be targeted to assist youth in gaining access to education,
employment, and supportive services. HUD expects that this funding will
demonstrate the importance of comprehensive supportive services in
contributing to the reduction of unemployment among our youth and crime
and violence in public housing communities. This Youth Development
Initiative requires that the funded actions be designed and implemented
by the targeted youth, in partnership with the PHA.
Each applicant may submit only one application under this NOFA. The
maximum grant amount per applicant under this NOFA is $1 million. As
explained in the February 15, 1995, FIC NOFA, both PHAs and IHAs are
eligible applicants in the main FIC NOFA, but only PHAs may apply for
the set-aside funds announced in this Youth Initiative NOFA.
C. Overview and Policy
The stated purpose of Section 22 for FIC is:
[T]o provide families living in public housing with better
access to educational and employment opportunities to achieve self-
sufficiency and independence by: (a) Developing facilities in or
near public housing for training and support services; (b)
mobilizing public and private resources to expand and improve the
delivery of such services; (c) providing funding for such essential
training and support services that cannot otherwise be funded; and
(d) improving the capacity of management to assess the training and
service needs of families, coordinate the provision of training and
services that meet such needs, and ensure the long-term provision of
such training and services.
Although Section 22 is phrased in terms of ``families'' living in
public housing, because of section 527 of the National Affordable
Housing Act (104 Stat. 4216; 42 U.S.C. 1437aa note) (NAHA), the
definition of ``families'' may be used interchangeably as individuals.
This special Initiative is being made available to individuals (youths,
ages 13-25), including noncustodial parents with child support
agreements for children living in public housing and who would be made
capable of meeting their obligations by being provided these services.
The Department envisions that this Initiative under FIC will
complement other youth programs, drug elimination efforts, and Youth
Sports activities to increase the rates of school completion,
enrollment in advanced education, or training and employment. PHAs that
are recipients of or applicants for other programs with youth training
opportunities must coordinate this FIC Youth Development Initiative
with these programs. As an incentive to becoming self-sufficient, the
earnings of public housing youths participating in [[Page 28305]] this
Youth Development Initiative shall not be treated as income for the
purpose of rent calculation, and services are not treated as income for
the purposes of any other program or provision of State or Federal law,
including rent assistance, subject to the limitations set out in
Section I.F(5), ``Treatment of Income,'' of this NOFA. This Initiative
is administered by the Department's Office of Community Relations and
Involvement in the Office of Public and Indian Housing, with assistance
from a network of Community Relations and Involvement Specialists in
HUD Field Offices.
D. Definitions
For purposes of this NOFA, the following definitions apply:
Eligible Residents means public housing residents aged 13-25 of a
participating PHA, including noncustodial parents with child support
agreements for children living in public housing when those parents
would be made capable of meeting their obligations by being provided
services.
Secretary means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Service Coordinator means any person, including youth, who is
responsible for:
(1) Determining the eligibility of individuals to be served by this
Youth Development Initiative;
(2) Assessing training and service needs of eligible residents;
(3) Working with service providers to coordinate the provision of
services on a PHA-wide or less-than-PHA-wide basis, and to tailor the
services to the needs and characteristics of eligible residents;
(4) Mobilizing public and private resources to ensure that the
supportive services identified can be funded over the 5-year period, at
least, following the initial receipt of funding under this NOFA;
(5) Monitoring and evaluating the delivery, impact, and
effectiveness of any supportive service funded with capital or
operating assistance under this program;
(6) Coordinating the development and implementation of this Youth
FIC Initiative with other self-sufficiency programs and other education
and employment programs; or
(7) Performing other duties and functions that are appropriate for
providing eligible residents with better access to educational and
employment opportunities.
Supportive Services means new or significantly expanded services
essential to providing youth in public housing with better access to
educational and employment opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency
and independence. (PHAs applying for funds to provide supportive
services must demonstrate that the services will be provided at a
higher level than currently provided). Program funds may be used for
the provision of not more than 15 percent of the cost of any supportive
services (which may be provided directly to eligible residents by the
public housing agency or by contract or lease through other appropriate
agencies or providers). Supportive services may include:
(1) Child care, of a type that provides sufficient hours of
operation and serves appropriate ages as needed to facilitate parental
access to education and job opportunities;
(2) Employment training and counseling (e.g., job training,
preparation and counseling, job development and placement, business
management training and entrepreneurship development, and follow-up
assistance after job placement);
(3) Computer skills training;
(4) Entrepreneurship training;
(5) Education (e.g., remedial education, literacy training,
completion of secondary or post-secondary education, and assistance in
the attainment of certificates of high school equivalency);
(5) Transportation as necessary to enable any participating youth
to receive available services or to commute to his or her place of
employment;
(6) Personal welfare (e.g., substance/alcohol abuse treatment and
counseling, self-development counseling, etc.);
(7) Supportive Health Care Services (e.g., outreach and referral
services); and
(8) Any other services and resources, including case management,
that are determined to be appropriate in assisting eligible residents.
Vacant Unit means a dwelling unit that is not under an effective
lease to an eligible family. An effective lease is a lease under which
an eligible family has a right to possession of the unit and is being
charged rent, even if the amount of any utility allowance equals or
exceeds the amount of a total tenant payment that is based on income
and, as a result, the amount paid by the family to the PHA is zero.
E. Eligibility
(1) Eligible Applicants
Funding for this program is limited to public housing authorities.
Housing Authorities with Section 8 oversight (only) are not eligible to
apply for funds under this NOFA. Facilities assisted shall be on or
near the premises of public housing. For all families using FIC
services, other than eligible residents (as defined in Section I.D of
this NOFA), any additional costs incurred are to be borne by other
resources.
To be eligible under this NOFA, a PHA cannot have serious
unaddressed, outstanding Inspector General audit findings; fair housing
and equal opportunity monitoring review findings; or Field Office
management review findings. In addition, the PHA must be in compliance
with civil rights laws and equal opportunity requirements. A PHA will
be considered to be in compliance if:
(a) As a result of formal administrative proceedings, there are no
outstanding findings of noncompliance with civil rights laws unless the
PHA is operating in compliance with a HUD-approved compliance agreement
designed to correct the area(s) of noncompliance;
(b) There is no adjudication of a civil rights violation in a civil
action brought against it by a private individual, unless the PHA
demonstrates that it is operating in compliance with a court order, or
implementing a HUD-approved resident selection and assignment plan or
compliance agreement, designed to correct the area(s) of noncompliance;
(c) There is no deferral of Federal funding based upon civil rights
violations;
(d) HUD has not deferred application processing by HUD under Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Attorney General's Guidelines
(28 CFR 50.3) and HUD's 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);
(e) There is no pending civil rights suit brought against the PHA
by the Department of Justice; and
(f) There is no unresolved charge of discrimination against the PHA
issued by the Secretary under Section 810(g) of the Fair Housing Act,
as implemented by 24 CFR 103.400.
(2) Eligible Activities
To develop such a Youth Development Initiative, program funds may
be used for the following activities to guarantee youth access to
comprehensive services:
(a) The renovation, conversion, or combination of vacant dwelling
units in a PHA development to create common areas to accommodate the
provision of supportive services;
(b) The renovation of existing common areas in a PHA development to
[[Page 28306]] accommodate the provision of supportive services;
(c) The renovation, acquisition, or construction of facilities
located near the premises of one or more PHA developments to
accommodate the provision of supportive services. Under this NOFA,
acquisition and new construction will be treated the same as
substantial rehabilitation (renovation/conversion) activities, for such
purposes as rating and submission requirements.
(d) The provision of not more than 15 percent of the total cost of
supportive services (which may be provided directly to eligible
residents by the PHA or by contract or lease through other appropriate
agencies or providers), but only if the PHA demonstrates that:
(i) The supportive services are appropriate to improve the access
of eligible residents for employment and educational opportunities; and
(ii) The PHA has made diligent efforts to use or obtain other
available resources to fund or provide such services.
(3) Eligible Costs
Costs that may be covered for activities funded and carried out by
a housing authority include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Administrative Costs. No cap. Costs that are reasonable and
include maintenance, utility costs (telephone, fax, light, gas),
postage, printing, copier, building leasing/rent costs, accounting
staff, and initial equipment purchase (i.e., desks, chairs, computer
equipment, tools, etc.);
(b) Other Program Costs. Costs that include advertisement,
reimbursement for participants of Youth FIC, insurance liability costs
(personal property/property off housing authority site), and Technical
Assistance (T/A) contractor fees, etc.;
(c) Supportive Services. Grant funds may be used to fund a maximum
of 15 percent of the total cost of providing supportive services.
Direct service delivery includes the costs of training programs, day
care services, manpower, etc.;
(d) Site Facility/Renovation/Conversion/Construction/Acquisition
Costs. Costs include: Renovation/conversion/construction/acquisition,
architectural and engineering (and related professional services
required to prepare architectural plans or drawings, write-ups,
specifications, or inspections); and
(e) The employment of service coordinators.
(4) Other Eligibility Related Requirements

construction activities listed in paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of
Section I.E(2), ``Eligible Activities,'' of this NOFA, shall be
completed within 3 years of the effective date of the grant. Other
eligible activities may be funded over a maximum 5-year period.
(b) Each applicant should submit a description of the supportive
services activities and/or the renovation or conversion to be
conducted, along with a budget and timetable for those activities. This
description should include the PHA's plans to:
(i) Ensure provision of employment, on-the-job training and work
experience, education, child care, transportation, and assistance in
resolving personal or family crises;
(ii) Encourage the active involvement of local labor unions, junior
and senior high schools, 2- and 4-year post-secondary institutions, and
community agencies; and
(iii) Ensure outreach and recruitment efforts and integrate service
delivery, intake assessment, and case management.
(c) Each applicant must submit a budget, timetable, and list of
milestones for the 5-year period (following initial receipt of
funding), at least, covered by the applicant's description of
supportive services. Milestones shall include the number of youth to be
served, types of services, and dollar amounts to be allocated over the
5-year period.
(d) Each applicant must demonstrate a firm commitment of assistance
from one or more sources ensuring that supportive services will be
provided for not less than 1 year following the completion of
activities funded under this NOFA.
(e) When a grant application is approved, the PHA must receive
approval from HUD to conduct renovation or conversions. Approval must
be provided prior to drawing down funds.
(f) If a renovation is done off-site, the PHA must provide
documentation that it has control of the proposed property. Control can
be evidenced through a lease agreement, ownership documentation, or
other appropriate documentation (see Sections III.B(4) and III.C(14) of
this NOFA).
F. Other Program Requirements
(1) Youth/Resident Involvement. The Department has a longstanding
policy of encouraging PHAs to promote resident involvement and to
facilitate cooperative partnerships to achieve specific and mutual
goals. Therefore, youth/residents must be included in the planning and
implementation of this program. The PHA shall develop a process that
assures that public housing youth, through their Resident Councils, if
feasible, are active partners in the development of the content of the
PHA's application in response to this NOFA. The PHA shall give full
consideration to the comments and concerns of the youth
representatives. The Department envisions that the youth
representatives will work in concert with the duly elected Resident
Council. The process shall include:
(a) Informing youth of the selected developments regarding the
preparation of the application and providing for residents to become
active partners in the development of the application.
(b) Once a draft application has been prepared, the PHA shall make
a copy available for reading in the management office; provide copies
of the draft to the duly-elected resident organization representing the
residents of the developments involved; and provide adequate
opportunity for comment by all residents, including youth, of the
development and their representative organizations prior to making the
application final. A copy of all comments shall be kept on file for
review, at the residents' request, by the duly elected Resident Council
and HUD.
(c) After HUD approval of a grant, notify youth and other residents
of the development, and any representative organizations, of approval
of the grant; notify the youth of the availability of the HUD-approved
implementation schedule in the management office for reading; and
develop a system to facilitate a regular youth role in all aspects of
program implementation.
(2) Training/Employment of PHA Youth Residents. (a) Section 3 of
the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u)
(Section 3) requires that programs of direct financial assistance
administered by HUD provide, to the greatest extent feasible,
opportunities for job training and employment to lower income residents
in connection with projects in their neighborhoods. The requirements of
Section 3 have been implemented in 24 CFR part 135 by an interim rule
published on June 30, 1994 ( 59 FR 33866). At a minimum each PHA, and
each of its contractors and subcontractors receiving funds under this
program, shall make best efforts to employ PHA residents in connection
with housing rehabilitation, housing construction, and other public
construction projects. [[Page 28307]]
(b) For purposes of the requirements under Section 3, a best effort
means that the PHA shall:
(1) Attempt to recruit PHA youth from the appropriate areas through
Resident/Youth Councils, local advertising media, signs placed at the
proposed FIC project site, and community organizations and public or
private institutions operating within the development area. The PHA
shall include in its outreach and marketing efforts, procedures to
attract the least likely to apply for this program because it includes
construction/renovation/conversion types of activities, i.e., low-
income households headed by women and persons with disabilities; and
(2) Determine the qualifications of PHA residents when they apply,
either on their own or on referral from any source, and employ PHA
youth if their qualifications are satisfactory and the contractor has
openings. If the PHA is unable to employ youth determined to be
qualified, those residents shall be listed for the first available
openings.
(3) Davis-Bacon Requirements. All laborers and mechanics employed
by contractors or the PHA in renovation or conversion (including
combining of units) on the premises of the PHA development to
accommodate the provision of supportive services under this program
shall be paid not less than the wages prevailing in the locality, as
predetermined by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act
(40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-5). All architects, technical engineers,
draftsmen, and technicians employed with respect to such work shall be
paid not less than the wages prevailing in the locality as determined
by HUD. These requirements do not apply to volunteers under the
conditions set out in 24 CFR part 70.
(4) Youth/Resident Compensation. Residents employed to provide
services funded under this program or described in the application
shall be paid at a rate not less than the highest of:
(a) The minimum wage that would be applicable to the employees
under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), if section 6(a)(1)
of the FLSA applied to the resident and if the resident were not exempt
under section 13 of the FLSA;
(b) The State or local minimum wage for the most nearly comparable
covered employment; or
(c) The prevailing rate of pay for persons employed in similar
public occupations by the same employer.
(5) Treatment of Income. (a) 1937 Act. As provided in section 22(i)
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (1937 Act), no service
provided to a PHA resident under this program may be treated as income
for the purpose of any other program or provision of State, or Federal
law. Program participation shall begin on the first day the resident
enters training or begins to receive services. Furthermore, the
earnings of and benefits to any PHA youth resulting from participation
in the FIC program shall not be considered as income in computing the
tenant's total annual income that is used to determine the tenant
rental payment during:
(i) The period that the youth participates in the program; and
(ii) The period that begins with the commencement of employment of
the youth in the first job acquired by the youth after completion of
the program that is not funded by assistance under the 1937 Act, and
ends on the earlier of:
(A) The date the youth ceases to continue employment without good
cause; or
(B) The expiration of the 18-month period beginning on the date of
commencement of employment in the first job not funded by assistance
under this program.
(6) Reports. Each PHA receiving a grant shall submit to HUD an
annual progress report, participant evaluation and assessment data, and
other information, as needed, regarding the effectiveness of the Youth
Development Initiative in providing youth with access to education and
job opportunities and supportive services.
G. Rating Factors
Each application for grant award will be evaluated if it is
submitted as required under Section II.B of this NOFA and meets the
eligibility requirements in Section I.E of this NOFA. Applications will
be placed in three funding categories, but ranked using Rating Factors
for either Combination Funding Requests or Supportive Services Only.
The three funding categories are as follows: (1) Supportive Services
Only; (2) Renovation/Conversion/Acquisition/New Construction; and (3)
Combination Supportive Services/Renovation/Conversion/Acquisition/New
Construction Activities. Applications submitted for funds solely to
implement supportive services will be competitively selected based on
the highest scores out of a possible 100 points, using Rating Factors
for Supportive Services Only. Applications submitted for funds that
include renovation/conversion (including acquisition and new
construction) or combination of dwelling unit activities will be
competitively selected based on the highest scores out of a possible
100 points, using Rating Factors for Combination Funding Requests.
Grants will be awarded to approximately the 10 highest-ranked eligible
applicants in the nation. All of the funds will be awarded based on
project size and geographical diversity. HUD reserves the right to
select applications out of rank order, if necessary to achieve
geographic diversity.
HUD will review and evaluate the application as follows, according
to whether the application seeks funds for Supportive Services Only, or
for renovation, conversion, acquisition, or new construction
activities, or for Combination Funding:
Combination Funding Requests--Renovation/Conversion/Acquisition/New
Construction/Supportive Services Activities (Maximum 100 points). If
the applicant is proposing to build or rehabilitate a facility to
render programmatic services, applications will be scored on the
following factors:
(a) Evidence of the need for supportive services by eligible
residents (Maximum: 35 points):
A high score of 26-35 points is achieved where the
applicant provides a detailed needs assessment of eligible residents,
clearly identifies specific target areas of concern, and documents
milestone results and benefits to be derived from resident
participation in Youth FIC services.
A medium score of 13-25 points is achieved where the
applicant provides a general needs assessment of eligible residents,
identifies target areas, but does not provide milestone results to be
derived from resident participation in Youth FIC services.
A low score of 1-12 points is achieved where the applicant
merely mentions there is a need for services, but does not clearly
address specific areas of concern.
(b) Youth Resident Involvement/Local Partnerships (Maximum: 25
points): The extent to which the housing authority has demonstrated
that it has partnered with residents in the implementation phase
(evidence of such a partnership may be in the form of a resident
council board resolution or letter), and will contract with or employ
youth residents to provide services and conduct renovation/conversion/
construction activities. In assigning points for this factor, HUD shall
also consider the extent of the involvement of social service agencies
in the development of the application. The commitment of these agencies
may be demonstrated through evidence of intent to provide direct
financial assistance or other resources, such as social services (i.e.,
counseling and training); funds [[Page 28308]] available through
existing State and local programs; or other commitments.
A high score of 18-25 points is received where the
applicant provides evidence that it has a strong and cooperative
partnership with its youth residents and that youth residents were
involved in the development of the application; the applicant will
continue its involvement throughout the implementation stages of the
Youth FIC, including providing input identifying resident needs; and
the applicant will contract with or employ youth residents to provide
services and conduct renovation/conversion/construction activities. The
applicant also provides evidence in a resolution or by certification in
a letter that social service agencies intend to provide various
resources to the Youth FIC; i.e., sources committed, availability of
funds, etc.
A medium score of 9-17 points is received where the
applicant mentions its partnership with youth residents. While the
residents were notified of the Youth FIC (although not involved in the
development of the application), the applicant ensures that their role
will be increased during the implementation stages of the Youth FIC and
states its intent to provide services (even though the plan for hiring
and contracting is not specific). The applicant provides certification
in letter or a resolution that it is currently implementing a similar
program (volunteer) utilizing partnerships with service agencies in its
locality. Evidence also is provided of social service agencies' intent
to provide various resources to the Youth FIC; i.e., source committed,
availability of funds, etc.; and
A low score of 1-8 points is received where the applicant
mentions a partnership, but evidence of such support is not provided.
The applicant mentions its efforts at coordinating the Youth FIC
facility in a target area, but does not include evidence of commitments
from existing local, State, or Federal sources.
(c) Capability (Maximum: 20 points): (1) The capability of the
housing authority or designated service provider to provide the
supportive services; (2) the extent to which the housing authority has
demonstrated success in modernization activities under the
Comprehensive Grant/Comprehensive Improvement Assistance (CIAP)
Programs (see CFR part 968); and (3) the extent to which the housing
authority has a good record of maintaining and operating public
housing, as determined by the Public Housing Management Assessment
Program (PHMAP) (see 24 CFR part 901), and has utilized innovative and
workable strategies to improve management.
A high score of 14-20 points is received where the
applicant: (a) Demonstrates success in providing similar supportive
services programs and has clearly detailed how the services were
coordinated and complemented with other programs; and (b) the
applicant's PHMAP score is in the ``high performer'' range.
A medium score of 7-13 points is received where the
applicant does not currently provide similar programs, but demonstrates
how the services will be coordinated and complemented with other
programs. The applicant's PHMAP score is in the ``standard'' range (60
or greater, but less than 90). In addition, the housing authority has
clearly identified innovative strategies to improve management of its
developments.
A low score of 1-6 points is received where it is unclear
if the applicant or designated service provider has experience in
providing similar supportive services programs. The applicant's PHMAP
score is in the ``troubled'' range (less than 60); however, it is
currently implementing local, State, or Federal partnerships in efforts
to develop effective strategies to improve its management capacity.
(d) Sustainability/Program Quality (Maximum: 20 points): (1) The
extent to which the housing authority and each service provider have
evidenced that supportive services and other resources will be provided
for 5 years following the receipt of funding for supportive services
under this NOFA, or 3 years following the completion of renovation/
conversion/construction/acquisition activities; (2) the extent to which
the housing authority has demonstrated that it will commit to its Youth
FIC part of its formula allocation of Comprehensive Grant Program
(CGP)/Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) funds for
CGP/CIAP eligible activities that result in employment, training, and
contracting opportunities for eligible residents; and (3) the extent to
which the envisioned renovation/conversion/construction/acquisition and
combination activities are appropriate to facilitate the provision of
Youth FIC supportive services.
A high score of 14-20 points is received where the
applicant provides letters from service providers that contain a strong
commitment to providing services and other resources (i.e., direct
financial staff, training/educational) over the grant period; clearly
documents its current use of CGP/CIAP funds toward eligible Youth FIC
activities; and provides the following:
--A detailed description of the location of the Youth FIC, the
coordination of services proposed at the facility, and the area to be
served by the Youth FIC; and
--Evidence that the facility is appropriate for the proposed Youth
FIC Activity. This evidence should clearly indicate the facility's
accessibility to residents, including its distance and the
transportation necessary to receive services.
A medium score of 7-13 points is received where the
applicant provides letters or narrative language regarding the
commitment of service providers, but the providers are limiting in
their commitment to providing services; does not currently have CGP/
CIAP funding, but has made clear its intention to use part of future
CGP/CIAP funding toward eligible Youth FIC activities; and provides a
good description of the facility location, however its accessibility to
residents is somewhat unclear.
A low score of 1-6 points is received where the applicant
merely mentions that services will be provided, but does not provide
letters; does not make clear any intention to use part of its current
or future CGP/CIAP funding toward eligible Youth FIC activities; and
mentions the location of the Youth FIC facility, but does not provide
specific details regarding the appropriateness or accessibility or
distance to residents.
Supportive Services Only
(a) Evidence of Need for supportive services [Maximum: 35 points]:
A high score of 26-35 points is achieved where the
applicant provides a detailed needs assessment of eligible residents,
clearly identifies specific target areas of concern, and documents
milestone results and benefits to be derived from resident
participation in Youth FIC services.
A medium score of 13-25 points is achieved where the
applicant provides a general needs assessment of eligible residents,
identifies target areas, but does not provide milestone results to be
derived from resident participation in FIC services.
A low score of 1-12 points is achieved where the applicant
merely mentions there is a need for services, but does not clearly
address specific areas of concern.
(b) Youth Resident Involvement/Local Partnerships (Maximum: 25
points): The extent to which the housing authority has demonstrated
that it has partnered with youth residents in the planning phase of the
Youth FIC, will further [[Page 28309]] include the residents in the
implementation phase (evidence of such a partnership may be in the form
of a resident council board resolution or letter), and will contract
with or employ youth residents to provide services. In addition, HUD
shall consider the extent of the involvement of social services
agencies in the development of the application and the commitment of
those agencies to providing direct financial assistance or other
resources, such as social services (i.e., counseling and training),
funds available through existing State and local programs, or other
commitments.
A high score of 18-25 points is received where the
applicant provides evidence that it has a strong and cooperative
partnership with its youth residents and that youth residents were
involved in the development of the application; the applicant will
continue its involvement throughout the implementation stages of the
Youth FIC, including providing input identifying resident needs; and
the applicant will contract with or employ residents to provide
services. The applicant also provides evidence by resolution or
certification in a letter that social service agencies intend to
provide various resources to the Youth FIC; i.e., sources committed,
availability of funds, etc.
A medium score of 9-17 points is received where the
applicant mentions its partnership with residents. While the residents
were notified of the Youth FIC (although not involved in the
development of the application), the applicant ensures that the
residents' role will be increased during the implementation stages of
the Youth FIC and states its intent to provide services (even though
the plan for hiring and contracting is not specific). The applicant
provides certification in a letter or a resolution that it is currently
implementing a similar program (volunteer) utilizing partnerships with
service agencies in its locality. Evidence also is provided of social
service agencies' intent to provide various resources to the Youth FIC;
i.e., source committed, availability of funds, etc.; and
A low score of 1-8 points is received where applicant
mentions a partnership, but evidence of such support is not provided.
The applicant mentions its efforts at coordinating the Youth FIC
facility in a target area, but does not include evidence of commitments
from existing local, State, Federal sources.

housing authority or designated service provider to provide the
supportive services; and (2) the extent to which the housing authority
has a good record of maintaining and operating public housing, as
determined by the Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP)
(see 24 CFR part 901), and has utilized innovative and workable
strategies to improve management.
A high score of 14-20 points is received where the
applicant: (a) Demonstrates success in providing similar supportive
services programs and has clearly detailed how the services were
coordinated and complemented with other programs; (b) the applicant's
PHMAP score is in the ``high performer'' range.
A medium score of 7-13 points is received where the
applicant does not currently provide similar programs, but demonstrates
how the services will be coordinated and complemented with other
programs. The applicant's PHMAP score is in the ``standard'' range (60
or greater but less than 90). In addition, the housing authority has
clearly identified innovative strategies to improve management of its
developments.
A low score of 1-6 points is received where it is unclear
if the applicant or designated service provider has experience in
providing similar supportive services programs. The applicant's PHMAP
score is in the ``troubled'' range (less than 60); however, it is
currently implementing local, State, or Federal partnerships in efforts
to develop effective strategies to improve its management capacity.
(d) Sustainability/Program Quality (Maximum: 20 points): (1) The
extent to which the housing authority and each service provider have
evidenced that supportive services and other resources will be provided
for 5 years following the receipt of funding for supportive services
under this NOFA; and (2) the extent to which the housing authority has
demonstrated that it will commit to its Youth FIC part of its formula
allocation of Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP)/Comprehensive
Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) funds for eligible activities
that result in employment, training, and contracting opportunities that
are appropriate to facilitate the provision of Youth FIC supportive
services.
A high score of 14-20 points is received where the
applicant provides letters from service providers that contain their
strong commitment to providing services and other resources (i.e.,
direct financial staff, training/educational) over the grant period;

Youth FIC activities; and provides the following:
--A detailed description of the location of the Youth FIC, the
coordination of services proposed at the facility, and the area to be
served by the Youth FIC; and
--Evidence clearly indicating the accessibility of the FIC facility
to residents, including the distance to the facility and the
transportation necessary to receive services.
A medium score of 7-13 points is received where the
applicant provides letters or narrative language regarding commitment
of service providers, but the providers are limiting in their
commitment to providing services; does not currently have CGP/CIAP
funding, but has made clear its intention to use part of future CGP/
CIAP funding toward eligible Youth FIC activities; and provides a
description of the facility location, but its accessibility to
residents is somewhat unclear.
A low score of 1-6 points is received where the applicant
merely mentions that services will be provided, but does not provide
letters; does not make clear any intention to use part of its current
or future CGP/CIAP funding toward eligible Youth FIC activities; and
mentions the location of the Youth FIC facility, but does not provide
specific details regarding its accessibility or distance to residents.
H. Environmental Review
Any environmental impact regarding eligible activities will be
addressed through an environmental review of that activity as required
by 24 CFR part 50, including the applicable related laws and
authorities under Sec. 50.4, to be completed by HUD, to ensure that any
environmental impact will be addressed before assistance is provided to
the PHA. Grantees will be expected to adhere to all assurances
applicable to environmental concerns as contained in this NOFA and
grant agreements.

cure period, HUD will disqualify the application.
This 14-day cure period applies only to nonsubstantive deficiencies
or errors. Deficiencies capable of cure will involve only items not
necessary for HUD to assess the merits of an application against the
rating factors specified in this NOFA.
V. Other Matters
A. Other Federal Requirements
In addition to the Equal Opportunity Requirements set forth in
Section III, Checklist of Application Submission Requirements, of this
NOFA, grantees must comply with the following requirements:
(1) Ineligible contractors. The provisions of 24 CFR part 24
relating to the employment, engagement of services, awarding of
contracts, or funding of any contractors or subcontractors during any
period of debarment, suspension, or placement in ineligibility status.
(2) Flood insurance. No building proposed for acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair, or improvement to be assisted
under this program may be located in an area that has been identified
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having special
flood hazards, unless the community in which the area is situated is
participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and the
regulations thereunder (44 CFR parts 59-79), or less than a year has
passed since FEMA notification regarding such hazards, and the grantee
ensures that flood insurance on the structure is obtained in compliance
with section 102(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42
U.S.C. 4001 et seq.).
(3) Lead-based paint. The requirements, as applicable, of the Lead-
Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821-4846), and
implementing regulations at 24 CFR parts 35, 965, and 968.
(4) Applicability of OMB Circulars. The policies, guidelines, and
requirements of OMB Circular Nos. A-110 (and implementing regulations
at 24 CFR part 84) and A-122 with respect to the acceptance and use of
assistance by private nonprofit organizations.
(5) Relocation and Real Property Acquisition. The Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of
1970 and HUD Handbook 1378, Tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real
Property Acquisition, apply to the acquisition of real property for an
assisted project and the displacement of any person (family,
individual, business, nonprofit organization, or farm) as a direct
result of acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project.
B. Environmental Review
A finding of no significant impact with respect to the environment
has been made for the NOFA for Public and Indian Housing Family
Investment Centers, in accordance with HUD regulations in 24 CFR part
50 that implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332); this finding applies equally to
this NOFA. The finding of no significant impact is available for public
inspection and copying Monday through Friday during regular business
hours at the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of General
Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410.
C. Executive Order 12612, Federalism
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 to provide youth living in public
housing, or with children living in public housing, with better access
to education and job opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency and
independence.
D. Executive Order 12606, the Family
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this notice has potential
for a significant impact on family formation, maintenance, and general
well-being. The purpose of the notice is to provide funding to assist
youth living in public housing, or with children living in public
housing, with better access to education and job opportunities to
achieve self-sufficiency and independence, and, thus, could benefit
families. However, because the impact on families is beneficial, no
further review is considered necessary. [[Page 28314]]
E. Section 102 HUD Reform Act: Documentation and Public Access
Requirements
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 5-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.)
F. Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act
HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3537a) is
codified as 24 CFR part 4 and 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 (voice/TDD). (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 his or her Field
Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the
question pertains.
G. Section 112 of the Reform Act
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 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 regulations published at 24 CFR part
86. If readers are involved in any efforts to influence the Department
in these ways, they are urged to read the final rule, particularly the
examples contained in Appendix A of that part. Any questions about part
86 should be directed to the Office of Ethics, room 2158, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC
20410-3000. Telephone: (202) 708-3815 (voice/TDD) (This is not a toll-
free number.) Forms necessary for compliance with the rule may be
obtained from the local HUD office.
H. Freedom of Information Act
Applications submitted in response to this NOFA are subject to
disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). To assist the
Department in determining whether to release information contained in
an application in the event a FOIA request is received, and applicant
may, through clear earmarking, or otherwise, indicate those portions of
its application that it believes should not be disclosed. The
applicant's views will be used solely to aid the Department in
preparing its response to a FOIA request; however, the Department is
required by the FOIA to make an independent evaluation of the
information.
HUD suggests that an applicant provide a basis, when possible, for
its belief that confidential treatment is appropriate; general
assertions or blanket requests for confidentiality, without more
information, are of limited value to the Department in making
determinations concerning the release of information under FOIA. The
Department is required to segregate disclosable information from
nondisclosable items, so an applicant should be careful to identify
each portion of the application for which confidential treatment is
requested.
The Department emphasizes that the presence or absence of comments
or earmarking regarding confidential information will have no bearing
on the evaluation of applications submitted in response to this
solicitation.
I. 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 of
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.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1437t and 3535(d).
Dated: May 4, 1995.

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
