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

SUMMARY: On November 30, 1995, HUD published a notice in the Federal

    On January 8, 1996 the Department published a notice in the Federal 
Register cancelling the January 11, 1996 conference due to the partial 
shutdown of the Federal government. The purpose of this notice is to 
reschedule the conference for January 24, 1996. In addition, the

changes are made to the November 30, 1995 notice by this notice.

Eastern Standard Time on February 29, 1996. Applications faxed to this

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 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. Because of the 
partial shutdown of the Federal government, the Department cancelled 
the ``bidders'' conference scheduled for January 11, 1996 in 
Washington, D.C. by notice (61 FR 559), but indicated that the 
conference may be rescheduled. This notice reschedules that conference 
and provides a two-

week extension for submitting applications.

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