Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program; Announcement 
of Revised Allocations

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this notice announces 
revisions that were made to formula-based allocations under the Fiscal 
Year 1995 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program 
pursuant to a rescission of part 

[[Page 1776]]
of those funds. This notice provides for a reduction of $13.5 million 
of program funds that were previously announced as part of the 
Department's Consolidated Plan notice. This notice contains the names 
of the allocation recipients, the original allocation amount, the 
revised allocation amount and the difference in the two amounts.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Karnas, Jr., Director, Office of 
HIV/AIDS Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 
7154, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 
708-1934. The TDD number for the hearing impaired is (202) 708-2565. 
(These are not toll-free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the HOPWA program is to 
provide States and localities with the resources and incentives to 
devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs 
of low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
    The assistance made available for this program is authorized by the 
AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as amended by the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550, 
approved October 28, 1992) and was appropriated by the HUD 
Appropriations Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 103-327, approved September 28, 
1994), as amended by Pub. L. 104-19, approved July 27, 1995. The 
original allocation to 66 jurisdictions was announced in a Notice of 
fiscal year 1995 Consolidated Formula Allocations for Community 
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), 
Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons 
with AIDS (HOPWA) Programs published in the Federal Register on January 
25, 1995 (60 FR 5010).
    At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1995, a total of $167,400,000 was 
allocated to 66 jurisdictions based on the original appropriation. The 
HOPWA program is required to allocate ninety percent of program funds 
based on a statutory formula which uses the reported number and 
incidence of cases of AIDS in a community. The reduction of $13,500,000 
in the FY 1995 formula allocations represents ninety percent of 
$15,000,000 which was rescinded from the original appropriation. The 
other ten percent of program funds is awarded by competition; in fiscal 
year 1995, $1,500,000 of competitive funds originally available were 
rescinded and therefore not awarded under the 1995 HOPWA competition 
pursuant to a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1995 (60 FR 9260). The announcement of 
awards under that NOFA was published in the Federal Register on October 
30, 1995 (60 FR 55277).
    Based on the revised appropriation for the program of $171,000,000, 
the revised formula provides a total of $153,900,000 in this notice. 
The following revised allocations for each of the 66 formula grants are 
a reduction of approximately 8.1 percent each:
