SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this notice announces 
the funding decisions made by the Department in a competition for 
funding under the Fiscal Year 1995 Housing Opportunities for Persons

(These are not toll-free numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the competition was to award 
grants for housing assistance and supportive services by two types of 
projects: (1) Grants for special projects of national significance 
which, due to their innovative nature or their potential for 
replication, are likely to serve as effective models in addressing the 
needs of low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families; 
and (2) grants for projects which are part of long-term comprehensive 
strategies for providing housing and related services for low-income 
persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families in areas that do not 
receive HOPWA formula allocations.
    The assistance made available in this announcement is authorized by 
the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as amended by the

approved October 28, 1993), as amended by Pub. L. 104-19, approved July
