SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Youth Development Initiative is funded 
under the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for 1994 (Pub. 
L. 103-124, approved October 28, 1993) (the 1994 Appropriations Act).
    The purpose of the Youth Development Initiative is to further the 
Department's Operation Safe Home mission that addresses the larger 
problem of violence in America's low-income communities. The Youth 
Development Initiative will provide young individuals ages 13-25 with 
access to comprehensive education and employment opportunities and 
supportive services. The grants will be for up to three to five 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 Youth FIC grants 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. Recipients were chosen in a competition under selection 
criteria announced in a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published 
in the Federal Register on May 13, 1994 (59 FR 25262).
    An amendment to the May 13, 1994 Youth FIC NOFA (59 FR 25262) was 
published on July 18, 1994 (59 FR 36446). In the amendment NOFA on page 
36447, second column, ``2.'' application procedures were revised to 
increase the number of points available in the ranking factors for the 
FY 1994 Youth Development Initiative under the Family Investment 
Centers Program from ``(150 points)'' to a ``(Maximum 170 points)''.
    Accordingly, based on unanticipated delays in publication of the 
amendment, the Department recognized that the revised selection 
criteria proposed would not provide applicants with 30 days to respond 
to the revised application procedure prior to the deadline for 
submission of applications. Therefore, to meet Reform Act requirements, 
the Department decided not to use the ranking factors points indicated 
in the amendment NOFA or extend the application submission deadline.
    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 Department is publishing the names and 
addresses of the Public Housing agencies which received funding under 
this NOFA, and the amount awarded to each. This information is provided 
in Appendix A to this document.

    Dated: October 12, 1995.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
