SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 30, 1995 (60 FR 61634), HUD published a notice in the 
Federal Register seeking applications from public and private 
universities in order to provide funding to develop and implement the 
educational component of HUD's new Community Renaissance Fellows 
Program. The program will 

[[Page 560]]
place 20 Fellows in distressed public housing developments undergoing 
conversion, for example, to mixed-income or mixed-use projects. HUD 
hopes, with the assistance of private foundations, to place additional 
Fellows in comparable projects being undertaken by community 
development corporations.
    The November 30, 1995 notice also announced that HUD would hold a 
``bidders'' conference on January 11, 1996. The purpose of this 
conference was to explain, in more detail, the background behind this 
solicitation and clarify application requirements.

Cancellation of Bidders Conference

    Because of the partial shutdown of the Federal government, the 
``bidders'' conference scheduled for January 11, 1996 in Washington, 
D.C. is canceled. It may be rescheduled.

No Other Changes to the November 30, 1995 Notice

    No other changes are made to the November 30, 1995 notice by this 
supplementary notice.

    Dated: January 3, 1996.
Michael A. Stegman,
Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research.
