DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Notice of Funding Availability for Training and Technical 
Assistance for the Prevention of Youth Violence in Public Housing; 
Notice of Amendment and Correction

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

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year 1995; 
Notice of correction and amendment.

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

SUMMARY: On June 2, 1995 (60 FR 29456), HUD published a NOFA soliciting 
applications for a single two-year grant of up to $550,000. The grant 
funds are to be used in the development and implementation of technical 
assistance (TA) for the prevention of youth violence in public housing. 
HUD is joining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in this 
effort. The purpose of this notice is to amend the grant award period 
and to correct a typographical error contained in the June 2, 1995 
NOFA.

DATES: The original application deadline date is not changed. 
Applications must be received at HUD Headquarters at the address below 
on or before 3 p.m., Eastern Time, Friday, July 17, 1995. This 
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 practice into account and make 
early submission of their materials to avoid any risk of loss of 
eligibility brought about by any unanticipated or delivery-related 
problems. Applications received after the deadline will not be 
considered. A FAX is not acceptable.

APPLICATION SUBMISSION: An original and two copies of the application 
must be received by the deadline date at HUD Headquarters. Applications 
(original and two copies) should be sent to the Crime Prevention and 
Security Division of the Office of Community Relations and Involvement 
(OCRI), Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, Room 4116, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410-
0500.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth A. Cocke, Crime Prevention 
and Security Division (CPSD), Office of Community Relations and 
Involvement (OCRI), Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, Room 4116, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, 
DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1197. A telecommunications device for 
hearing or speech impaired persons (TDD) is available at (202) 708-
0850. (These are not toll-free telephone numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 2, 1995 (60 FR 28456), as part of a 
collaborative effort between HUD and the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC), HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability 
(NOFA) soliciting applications for a single two-year grant of up to 
$550,000. The purpose of the grant is to assist public housing staff 
and residents in applying the results of current scientific research to 
the prevention of youth violence in public housing communities. This 
notice amends the grant award period and corrects a typographical error 
contained in the June 2, 1995 NOFA.
    The June 2, 1995 NOFA establishes selection criteria by which HUD 
and the CDC will evaluate applicants for the grant award. Through this 
competitive process, the grant will be awarded to the applicant best 
able to develop and implement a system to provide scientifically based 
technical assistance to public housing developments. However, 
regardless of how successful the selected applicant is in developing 
and administering the technical assistance, the June 2, 1995 NOFA 
establishes a two-year limit on funding. HUD and the CDC have 
determined that the best way to assure the achievement of the goals set 
forth in the June 2, 1995 NOFA is to provide a mechanism by which 
funding can possibly be continued past the two-year grant award period. 
Accordingly, this notice amends the June 2, 1995 NOFA by granting HUD 
and the CDC the option to extend grant funding for additional years, 
subject to the grantee's performance and the availability of funding.
    In addition to amending the grant award period, this document 
corrects a typographical error contained in the June 2, 1995 NOFA. The 
first sentence of the SUMMARY paragraph of the June 2, 1995 NOFA reads: 
``This NOFA solicits applications for a single two-year grant of up to 
$500,000.'' The correct grant amount, which is set forth in the body of 
the NOFA, is $550,000.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 95-3906, Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 
for Training and Technical assistance for the Prevention of Youth 
Violence in Public Housing, published in the Federal Register on June 
2, 1995 (60 FR 29456) is corrected and amended as follows:
    1. On page 29456, in column 1, the first paragraph, SUMMARY, is 
corrected and amended as follows:

SUMMARY: This NOFA solicits applications for a single two-year grant of 
up to $550,000. The grant is being awarded for the purposes of 
developing and implementing training and technical assistance for the 
prevention of youth violence in public housing. The TA and training are 
intended to assist public housing communities in conducting youth 
violence prevention activities and in using the most relevant 
scientific information when doing so. HUD is joining the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention in this effort. At the option of HUD and 
the CDC, the grant award period may be extended, subject to the 
grantee's performance and the availability of funding.
    2. Under the heading ``I. Purpose and Substantive Description'' 
beginning on page 29456, the following amendments are made:
    a. On page 29456, in column 2, the third and final sentence of 
paragraph I.(b) is amended;
    b. On page 29456, in column 3, the third paragraph of paragraph 
I.(d) is amended;
    c. On page 29459, in column 2, paragraph I.(h)(1), is amended, as 
follows:
