SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this notice 
have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, and assigned OMB approval numbers 
2506-0131, 2506-0112, and 2506-0118.

I. Substantive Description

(a) Authority

    The Supportive Housing Program is authorized by title IV, subtitle 
C, of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney Act), 
as amended, 42 USC 11381. Funds made available under this NOFA for the 
Supportive Housing program are subject to the program regulations at 24 
CFR part 583.
    The Shelter Plus Care program is authorized by title IV, subtitle 
F, of the McKinney Act, as amended, 42 USC 11403. Funds made available 
under this NOFA for the Shelter Plus Care program are subject to the 
program regulations at 24 CFR part 582.
    The Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program for Single Room 
Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless Individuals (SRO) is authorized by 
section 441 of the McKinney Act, as amended, 42 USC 11401. Funds made 
available under this NOFA for the SRO program are subject to the 
program regulations at 24 CFR Part 882, subpart H, as amended by the 
Interim Rule published in the Federal Register on February 14, 1996 (61 
FR 5850).

(b) Funding Availability

    The Congress has not yet enacted a FY 1996 appropriation for HUD. 
When HUD has received its final Fiscal Year 1996 figure, the amount 
available under this NOFA will be published in the Federal Register. 
However, HUD is publishing this notice now in order to give potential 
applicants adequate time to prepare applications.
    For planning purposes, applicants should be guided by two budget 
estimates. Based on Congressional action authorizing interim spending, 
commonly referred to as a Continuing Resolution, approximately $675 
million would be available for this competition. Based on the 
Administration's Fiscal Year 1996 Budget request (published February 
1995), approximately $925 million would be available for this 
competition. The amount that is ultimately awarded to applicants 
responding to this NOFA will depend upon the amount that is enacted for 
Fiscal Year 1996. Any unobligated funds from previous competitions or 
additional funds that may become available as a result of deobligations 
or recaptures from previous awards may also be used to fund 
applications submitted in response to this NOFA.
    Separate amounts for each of the three programs will not be 
specified this year. Instead, the distribution of funds among the three 
programs will depend on locally determined priorities and overall 
demand. HUD reserves the right, however, to fund less than the full 
amount requested in any application to ensure the fair distribution of 
the funds available and to ensure the purposes of these homeless 
programs are met.

(c) Purpose

    HUD has made addressing homelessness its number one priority. To 
that end, the Department founded the Continuum of Care approach and

[[Page 10867]]
requested and obtained a doubling of the homeless assistance budget 
from $572 million in 1993 to $1.1 billion in 1995. The Department has 
distributed the increased homeless assistance funds to support locally 
developed Continuum of Care systems designed to meet the multi-faceted 
needs of homeless persons in the nation's communities. These systems 
provide a much needed comprehensive approach to develop and implement 
housing and service delivery programs and help build partnerships and 
coordination with states, localities, not-for-profit organizations and 
the federal government to help homeless individuals and families move 
to permanent living and self-sufficiency to the extent possible. This 
is consistent with the Department's other major initiatives to 
encourage locally designed and coordinated approaches to solving 
community problems--the Consolidated Plan and Empowerment Zones/
Enterprise Communities.
    (1) Continuum of Care. The purpose of this NOFA is to fund projects 
and activities that will create locally developed Continuum of Care 
systems to assist homeless persons. A Continuum of Care system consists 
of four basic components:
    (i) A system of outreach and assessment for determining the needs 
and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless;
    (ii) Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to 
help ensure that homeless individuals and families receive adequate 
emergency shelter and referral to necessary service providers or 
housing finders;
    (iii) Transitional housing with appropriate supportive services to 
help those homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to 
make the transition to permanent housing and independent living; and
    (iv) Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help 
meet the long-term needs of homeless individuals and families.
    While not all homeless individuals and families in a community will 
need to access all four, unless all four components are coordinated 
within a community, none will be successful. A strong homeless 
prevention strategy is also key to the success of the Continuum of 
Care.
    Developing a Continuum of Care system requires a community process 
for coordinating all available resources. The community process should 
include nonprofit organizations (including veteran service 
organizations, other organizations representing persons with 
disabilities, and other groups serving homeless persons), State and 
local government agencies, other homeless providers, housing developers 
and service providers, private foundations, neighborhood groups, and 
homeless or formerly homeless persons. Together, these groups should 
address the specific needs of each homeless subpopulation: the jobless, 
veterans, homeless persons with serious mental illnesses, persons 
suffering from substance abuse, persons with HIV/AIDS, persons with 
multiple diagnoses, victims of domestic violence, runaway youth, and 
any others.
    This NOFA is only one source of funding for the identified homeless 
needs. Applicants should also seek other sources of funds to meet the 
needs of homeless persons, including funds from the private sector 
(foundations and the business community), state and local agencies, and 
other federal agencies.
    High scores under the Continuum of Care category will be assigned 
to applications that demonstrate the achievement of two basic goals:
     Have maximum participation by non-profit providers of 
housing and services; homeless and formerly homeless persons; state and 
local governments and agencies; the private sector; housing developers; 
foundations and other community organizations.
     Create, maintain and build upon a community-wide inventory 
of housing and services for homeless families and individuals; identify 
the full spectrum of needs of homeless families and individuals; and 
coordinate efforts to obtain resources, particularly resources sought 
through this NOFA, to fill gaps between the current inventory and 
existing needs.
    (2) Prioritizing. In order to best respond to feedback from the 
1995 competition and to ensure that appropriate decision-making is done 
at the community level, this year's application will instruct that all 
projects that are proposed for funding under this NOFA be listed in 
priority order from the highest priority to the lowest. This priority 
order will mean, for example, that if funds are only available to 
finance 8 of 10 proposed projects, then funding will be awarded to the 
first eight projects listed. HUD believes priority decisions are best 
made through a locally-driven process and are key to the ultimate goal 
of reducing homelessness in America. And, HUD expects nonprofit 
organizations to be given a fair role in establishing these priorities.
    This priority list will be used in awarding up to 40 points per 
project under the ``Need'' scoring criteria. Higher priority projects 
will receive more points under Need than lower priority projects. If 
projects are not prioritized in the application, each project will 
receive the lowest score for Need.

(d) Use of NOFA Funds and Matching Funds To Fill Gaps

    Funds available under this NOFA and matching funds may be used in 
the following ways to fill gaps within the context of developing a 
Continuum of Care system to help homeless persons achieve self-
sufficiency:
    (1) Outreach/Assessment. The Supportive Housing program may provide 
funding for outreach to homeless persons and assessment of their needs. 
The Shelter Plus Care program requires a supportive services match; 
outreach and assessment activities count toward that match.
    (2) Transitional housing and necessary social services. The 
Supportive Housing program may be used to provide transitional housing 
with services, including both facility-based transitional housing and 
scattered-site transitional services. The Supportive Housing program 
may also be used to provide a safe haven, which is a form of supportive 
housing designed specifically to provide homeless persons with serious 
mental illness who have been living on the streets with a secure, non-
threatening, non-institutional, supportive environment. These 24-hour 
residences in which overnight occupancy is limited to no more than 25 
persons provide private or semi-private accommodations. They do not 
require participation in services and referrals as a condition of 
occupancy. Instead, it is expected that after a period of 
stabilization, residents will be more willing to participate in 
services and referrals, and will be ready to move to a more traditional 
form of permanent housing.
    (3) Permanent housing or permanent supportive housing. The 
Supportive Housing program may be used to provide permanent supportive 
housing only for persons with disabilities, including both facility-
based and scattered-site permanent supportive housing. The Shelter Plus 
Care program may be used to provide permanent supportive housing only 
for persons with disabilities (primarily persons who are seriously 
mentally ill, have chronic substance abuse problems, or have HIV/AIDS) 
in a variety of housing rental situations. This program requires a 
supportive services match; all supportive service activities count 
toward that match. The SRO program provides permanent housing for 
homeless individuals with incomes that

[[Page 10868]]
do not exceed the low-income standard of the Section 8 housing program. 
Appropriate supportive services are also an essential part of an SRO 
project. Providing permanent housing for homeless families is not 
available under the SRO program or the SRO component of the Shelter 
Plus Care (S+C) program because an SRO unit is designed for a single 
individual. Permanent housing for homeless families is only eligible 
under the other components of the Shelter Plus Care program and under 
the Supportive Housing program if an adult member has a disability.

(e) Homeless Persons With Multiple Diagnoses

    Applicants are strongly urged to focus special efforts on homeless 
persons with multiple diagnoses, particularly mental illness, HIV/AIDS 
and addictions. Many providers and communities have found that this 
population is the most difficult part of the homeless population to 
address and, as a result, in some communities not all of these persons 
receive necessary housing and services.

(f) Program Summaries

    Statutory authority for these programs is quite specific. HUD may 
not waive or alter statutory requirements. The chart below summarizes 
key aspects of the Supportive Housing Program, the Shelter Plus Care 
Program, and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program for Single 
Room Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless Individuals. Program descriptions 
are contained in the applicable regulations cited in the chart.

II. Application Requirements

    The application requires a description of the Continuum of Care 
system and proposed project(s). It also contains certifications that 
the applicant will comply with fair housing and civil rights 
requirements, program regulations, and other Federal requirements, and 
(where applicable) that the proposed activities are consistent with the 
HUD-approved Consolidated Plan of the applicable State or unit of 
general local government, including the Analysis of Impediments to Fair 
Housing and the Action Plan to address these impediments.
    Care should be taken in the selection of projects and in the 
preparation of applications to ensure that environmental and historic 
preservation impediments do not cause an application to be denied or 
approval severely delayed. Questions about which environmental and 
historic preservation laws may apply should be addressed to the HUD 
Field Office.

III. Application Selection Process

(a) Review, Rating and Conditional Selection

    The Department will use the same review, rating, and conditional 
selection process for all three programs (S+C, SRO, and SHP). To review 
and rate applications, the Department may establish panels including 
persons not currently employed by HUD to obtain

[[Page 10869]]
certain expertise and outside points of view, including views from 
other Federal agencies. Two types of reviews will be conducted. 
Paragraphs (1) and (2) below describe threshold reviews and paragraphs 
(3) and (4) describe criteria--Continuum of Care and Need--that will be 
used to assign points. Up to 100 points will be assigned using these 
criteria.
    There are three options for submitting an application under this 
NOFA. One: A ``Consolidated Application'' is submitted when a 
jurisdiction (or a consortium of jurisdictions) submits a single 
application encompassing a Continuum of Care strategy and containing 
all the projects within that strategy for which funding is being 
requested. Individual projects, and operators, are contained within the 
one consolidated application. Grant funding may go to one entity which 
then administers all funded projects submitted in the application, or 
under this option, grant funding may go to all or any of the projects 
individually. Your application will specify the grantee for each 
project. Two: ``Associated Applications'' are submitted when applicants 
plan and organize a single Continuum of Care strategy which is adopted 
by project sponsors or operators who choose to submit separate 
applications for projects while including the identical Continuum of 
Care strategy. In this case, project funding would go to each 
successful applicant individually and each would be responsible to HUD 
for administering its separate grant. Three: A ``Solo Application'' is 
submitted when an applicant applies for a project exclusive of any 
Continuum of Care strategy.
    Options one and two will be considered equally competitive. 
Applicants are advised that projects that are not a part of a Continuum 
of Care strategy will receive few, if any, points under the Continuum 
of Care rating criteria.
    (1) Applicant and sponsor eligibility and capacity. Applicant and 
project sponsor capacity will be reviewed to ensure the following 
eligibility and capacity standards are met. If HUD determines these 
standards are not met, the project will be rejected from the 
competition.
     The applicant must be eligible to apply for the specific 
program. For the Sponsor-based component of the Shelter Plus Care 
program, the project sponsor must be a nonprofit organization;
     The applicant must demonstrate that there is sufficient 
knowledge and experience to carry out the project(s). With respect to 
each proposed project, this means that in addition to knowledge of and 
experience with homelessness in general, the organization carrying out 
the project, its employees, or its partners, must have the necessary 
experience and knowledge to carry out the specific activities proposed, 
such as housing development, housing management, and service delivery;
     If the applicant or project sponsor is a current or past 
recipient of assistance under a HUD McKinney Act program or the HUD 
Single Family Property Disposition Homeless Program, there must be no 
project or construction delay, HUD finding, or outstanding audit that 
HUD deems serious regarding the administration of HUD McKinney Act 
programs or the HUD Single Family Property Disposition Homeless 
Program; and
     The applicant and project sponsors must be in compliance 
with applicable civil rights laws and Executive Orders.
    (2) Project eligibility and quality. Each project will be reviewed 
to determine if it meets the following eligibility and threshold 
quality standards. If HUD determines the following standards are not 
met by a specific project or activity, the project or activity will be 
rejected from the competition.
     The population to be served must meet the eligibility 
requirements of the specific program, as described in the program 
regulations;
     The activity(ies) for which assistance is requested must 
be eligible under the specific program, as described in the program 
regulations;
     The housing and services proposed must be appropriate to 
the needs of the persons to be served. HUD may find a project to be 
inappropriate if: the type and scale of the housing or services clearly 
does not fit the needs of the proposed participants (e.g., housing 
homeless families with children in the same space as homeless 
individuals, or separating members of the same family, without an 
acceptable rationale provided); participant safety is not addressed; 
participants will have little or no involvement in decision-making and 
project operations; the housing or services are clearly designed to 
principally meet emergency needs rather than helping participants 
achieve self-sufficiency; or transportation and community amenities are 
not available and accessible;
     The project must be cost-effective in HUD's opinion, 
including costs associated with construction, operations, and 
administration.
     Any services proposed for funding must be designed to help 
participants achieve permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
     For the Section 8 SRO program, at least 25 percent of the 
units to be assisted at any one site must be vacant at the time of 
application;
     For those projects proposed under the SHP innovative 
category: Whether or not a project is considered innovative will be 
determined on the basis that the particular approach proposed is new to 
the area, is a sensible model for others, and can be duplicated; and
     HUD will also find one or more of these standards not to 
have been met if there is insufficient information provided in the 
application on which to make a determination.
    (3) Continuum of Care. Up to 60 points will be awarded as follows:
    (i) Process and Strategy. Up to 30 point will be awarded based on 
the extent to which the application demonstrates:
     The existence of a quality and inclusive community 
process, including organizational structure(s), for developing and 
implementing a Continuum of Care strategy which includes nonprofit 
organizations (such as veterans service organizations, other 
organizations representing persons with disabilities, and other groups 
serving homeless persons), State and local governmental agencies, other 
homeless providers, housing developers and service providers, private 
foundations, local businesses and the banking community, neighborhood 
groups, and homeless or formerly homeless persons; and
     That a quality and comprehensive strategy has been 
developed which addresses the components of a Continuum of Care system 
(i.e., outreach, intake, and easement; emergency shelter; transitional 
housing; permanent and permanent supportive housing) and that strategy 
has been designed to serve all homeless subpopulations in the community 
(e.g., seriously mentally ill, persons with multiple diagnoses, 
veterans), including those persons living in emergency shelters, 
supportive housing for homeless persons, or in places not designed for, 
or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human 
beings. For S+C, the strategy receives more points based on the extent 
to which S+C activities will serve homeless persons who are seriously 
mentally ill, have chronic alcohol and/or substance abuse problems, or 
have AIDS and related diseases.
    (ii) Gaps and Priorities. Up to 20 point will be awarded based on 
the extent to which the application:
     Establishes the relative priority of homeless needs 
identified in the Continuum of Care strategy; and

[[Page 10870]]

     Proposes projects that are consistent with the priority 
analysis described in the Continuum of Care strategy.
    (iii) Supplemental Resources. Up to 10 points will be awarded based 
on the extent to which the application demonstrates leveraging of funds 
requested under this NOFA with other resources, including private, 
other public, and mainstream services and housing programs.
    (4) Need. Up to 40 points will be awarded for need. There is a 
three-step approach to determining the need scores to be awarded to 
projects:
    (i) Determining relative need: To determine the homeless assistance 
need of a particular jurisdiction, HUD will use nationally available 
data on poverty, housing overcrowding, population, age of housing, and 
growth lag. Applying those criteria to a particular jurisdiction 
provides an estimate of the relative need index for that jurisdiction 
compared to other jurisdictions applying for assistance under this 
NOFA.
    (ii) Applying relative need: That relative need index is then 
applied to the total amount of funding available under this NOFA to 
determine a jurisdiction's pro rata need. As HUD is still operating 
under a Continuing Resolution and, therefore, does not have a set 
budget for Fiscal Year 1996, there is uncertainty as to the total 
amount available for funding under this NOFA. As explained earlier in 
this NOFA, there are two likely scenarios: funding of either $675 
million or $925 million. For the applicants' ease, HUD has estimated 
the amounts of the pro rata need for 300 communities across the country 
based on both scenarios and listed them in Appendix B. The estimated 
pro rata need of communities not listed is included within the State 
balances shown in Appendix B.
    (iii) Awarding need points to projects: Once the pro rata need is 
established, it is applied against the priority project list in the 
application. Starting from the highest priority project, HUD proceeds 
down the list to include those projects whose total funding equals that 
jurisdiction's pro rata need. Those priority projects which fall within 
that pro rata need each receive the full 40 points for need. 
Thereafter, HUD proceeds further down the priority project list until 
two times the pro rata need is reached and each of those projects 
receive 20 points. Remaining projects each receive 10 points.
    For example, the City of Birmingham might have a relative need 
index of .27 percent. That .27 percent relative need index applied to 
$625 million and $925 million renders a pro rata need of $1.8 million 
and $2.5 million, respectively. HUD will then apply the City's priority 
project list against the $1.8 million or $2.5 million amount, depending 
upon what amount is finally established in the HUD budget as funding 
under this NOFA. Assuming for this illustration that Congress adopts 
the Administration's requested budget of $925 million, the $2.5 million 
amount would be applied. Those projects whose total dollar amount in 
aggregate falls within $2.5 million are determined to have the highest 
pro rata need and are each awarded 40 points. HUD then continues down 
the project list until two times $2.5 million is reached (i.e., $5.0 
million) and those projects each receive 20 points. Projects 
prioritized below $5.0 million each receive 10 points.
    If an application does not prioritize projects, each project will 
receive 10 points.
    In the case of competing applications from a single jurisdiction or 
service area, projects in the application that receives the highest 
score out of the possible 60 points for Continuum of Care are eligible 
for up to 40 points under Need. Projects in the competing applications 
with less effective Continuum of Care strategies are eligible for only 
10 points under Need.
    (5) Ranking. The score for Continuum of Care will be added to the 
Need score in order to obtain a total score for each project. The 
projects will then be ranked from highest to lowest according to the 
total combined score. A bonus of 2 points will be added in determining 
the final score of any project that will be located within a federal 
Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community if priority placement will be 
given by the project to homeless persons living on the streets or in 
shelters within the EZ or EC, or whose last known address was within 
the EZ or EC.
    (6) Conditional selection. Whether a project is conditionally 
selected, as described in section IV below, will depend on its overall 
ranking compared to others, except that HUD reserves the right to 
select lower rated projects if necessary to achieve geographic 
diversity; ensure that the overall amount of assistance received by a 
jurisdiction is not disproportionate to the jurisdiction's overall need 
for homeless assistance, as calculated from generally available data; 
or to achieve diversity of assistance provided in a community as 
determined through a comparison of projects from a given jurisdiction.
    HUD also reserves the right to break ties among projects by 
determining which project will best achieve the purposes described in 
the preceding sentence, or to fund a project at less than the full 
amount requested if necessary to achieve one or more of those purposes.
    In the event of a procedural error that, when corrected, would 
result in selection of an otherwise eligible project during the funding 
round under this NOFA, HUD may select that project when sufficient 
funds become available.
    (7) Additional selection considerations. HUD will also apply the 
statutorily required limitations on funding described below in making 
conditional selections.
    In accordance with section 429 of the McKinney Act, as amended, HUD 
will award Supportive Housing funds as follows: not less than 25 
percent for projects that primarily serve homeless families with 
children; not less than 25 percent for projects that primarily serve 
homeless persons with disabilities; and not less than 10 percent for 
supportive services not provided in conjunction with supportive 
housing. After projects are rated and ranked, based on the criteria 
described above, HUD will determine if the conditionally selected 
projects achieve these minimum percentages. If not, HUD will skip 
higher-ranked projects in a category for which the minimum percent has 
been achieved in order to achieve the minimum percent for another 
category. If there are an insufficient number of conditionally selected 
projects in a category to achieve its minimum percent, the unused 
balance will be used for the next highest-ranked approvable Supportive 
Housing project.
    In accordance with section 463(a) of the McKinney Act, as amended 
by the 1992 Act, at least 10 percent of Shelter Plus Care funds will be 
awarded for each of the four components of the program: Tenant-based 
Rental Assistance; Sponsor-based Rental Assistance; Project-based 
Rental Assistance; and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation of Single Room 
Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless Individuals (provided there are 
sufficient numbers of approvable projects to achieve these 
percentages). After projects are rated and ranked, based on the 
criteria described below, HUD will determine if the conditionally 
selected projects achieve these minimum percentages. If necessary, HUD 
will skip higher-ranked projects for a component for which the minimum 
percent has been achieved in order to achieve the minimum percent for 
another component. If there are an insufficient number of approvable 
projects in a component to achieve its minimum percent, the unused 
balance will be used for the next highest-ranked approvable Shelter 
Plus Care project.

[[Page 10871]]

    In accordance with section 455(b) of the McKinney Act, no more than 
10 percent of the assistance awarded for Shelter Plus Care in any 
fiscal year may be used for programs located within any one unit of 
general local government.
    In accordance with section 441(c) of the McKinney Act, no city or 
urban county may have projects receiving a total of more than 10 
percent of the assistance made available under this program.

(b) Clarification of Application Information

    In accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, HUD 
may contact an applicant to seek clarification of an item in the 
application, or to request additional or missing information, but the 
clarification or the request for additional or missing information 
shall not relate to items that would improve the substantive quality of 
the application pertinent to the funding decision.

(c) Technical Assistance

    A video presentation about this competition is available for a 
nominal fee and can be obtained from Community Connections at 1-800-
998-9999. This fee may be waived in the event of financial hardship. 
You may also reach HUD staff for answers to your questions by calling 
that toll-free telephone number. Prior to the application deadline, HUD 
staff will be available to provide general guidance and help identify 
organizations in your community that are involved in developing the 
Continuum of Care system. Following conditional selection, HUD staff 
will be available to assist in clarifying or confirming information 
that is a prerequisite to the offer of a grant agreement by HUD. 
However, between the application deadline and the announcement of 
conditional selections, HUD will accept no information that would 
improve the substantive quality of the application pertinent to the 
funding decision.

IV. Fund Award Process

    HUD will notify conditionally selected applicants in writing. As 
necessary, HUD will subsequently request them to submit additional 
project information, which may include documentation to show the 
project is feasible; documentation of firm commitments for cash match; 
documentation showing site control; information necessary for HUD to 
perform an environmental review, where applicable; and such other 
documentation as specified by HUD in writing to the applicant, that 
confirms or clarifies information provided in the application. SRO and 
S+C/SRO applicants will be notified of the date of the two month 
deadline for submission of such information; other S+C applicants and 
all SHP applicants will be notified of the date of the one month 
deadline for submission of such information. If an applicant is unable 
to meet any conditions for fund award within the specified timeframe, 
HUD reserves the right not to award funds to the applicant, but instead 
to either: use them to select the next highest ranked application(s) 
from the original competition for which there are sufficient funds 
available; or add them to funds available for the next competition for 
the applicable program.

V. Employment Opportunities for Homeless Persons

    A key goal of the Continuum of Care approach is to assist homeless 
persons achieve independent living whenever possible. Each of the three 
programs under this NOFA has as a goal increasing the skill level and/
or income of program participants. Employment opportunities not only 
help achieve these goals but are also important in rebuilding self-
esteem.
    The McKinney Act recognizes the importance of employment 
opportunities in requiring that, to the maximum extent practicable, 
recipients involve homeless persons through employment, volunteer 
services, or otherwise, in constructing, rehabilitating, maintaining, 
and operating the project and in providing supportive services. Under 
the Supportive Housing Program, employment assistance activities are 
eligible, and grant recipients can use these funds for such activities 
as job training, wages, and educational awards for homeless persons. 
While Shelter Plus Care Program and SRO Program funds may only be used 
for rental assistance, employment assistance activities paid from other 
sources count towards the match requirement of the Shelter Plus Care 
Program.

VI. Linking Homeless Assistance Programs and AmeriCorps

    The Corporation for National Service, established in 1993 to engage 
Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based service, 
supports a range of national and community service programs. 
AmeriCorps, one of the national service programs supported by the 
Corporation, engages thousands of Americans on a full or part-time 
basis to help communities address their toughest challenges, while 
earning support for college, graduate school, or job training.
    The partnership may include either (1) the AmeriCorps*State 
program, which is supported by the Corporation for National Service 
funds and operated through independent State Commissions, or (2) the 
AmeriCorps*VISTA program, which is both supported and operated by the 
Corporation for National Service through its State Offices.
    Applicants for the Supportive Housing Program are encouraged to 
link their proposed projects with AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps Members can be 
an excellent source of committed, caring staff. For information about 
AmeriCorps SHP partnerships, call the Corporation for National Service 
at (202) 606-5000, extension 486.
    For Supportive Housing, applicants may request funds for paying 
operating and supportive services costs. These costs may include 
payment for AmeriCorps Members, such as living allowances, health care 
costs, and reasonable overhead costs of the AmeriCorps program sponsor, 
but may not exceed the cost which would be paid by the applicant for 
the same services when procured from a contractor. An applicant does 
not fill out a special exhibit for AmeriCorps Members. Instead, the 
costs for the AmeriCorps Members are included in the operating and 
supportive services budgets, as appropriate, just as other staff costs 
are.
    If Members are used in operating the Supportive Housing project, 
the costs are subject to the requirement that operating costs be 
shared. Examples of how Members may be used in operating a project 
include maintenance, security, and facility management. Supportive 
services are not subject to cost-sharing, so if Members are engaged in 
delivering supportive services, such as substance abuse counseling, 
case management, or recreational programs, no local share is required.
    The Corporation's financial support for the partnership is subject 
to availability of funds.

VII. Program Limitations

    (a) SRO program. Applicants need to be aware of the following 
limitations that apply to the Section 8 SRO program:
     Under section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 
1937, no single project may contain more than 100 units;
     Under 24 CFR 882.802, applicants that are private 
nonprofit organizations must subcontract with a Public Housing

[[Page 10872]]
Authority to administer the SRO assistance;
     Under section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 
1937 and 24 CFR 882.802, rehabilitation must involve a minimum 
expenditure of $3,000 for a unit, including its prorated share of work 
to be accomplished on common areas or systems, to upgrade conditions to 
comply with the Housing Quality Standards.
     Under section 441(e) of the McKinney Act and 24 CFR 
882.805(g)(1), HUD publishes the SRO per unit rehabilitation cost limit 
each year to take into account changes in construction costs. This cost 
limitation applies to rehabilitation that is compensated for in a 
Housing Assistance Payments Contract. For purposes of Fiscal Year 1996 
funding, the cost limitation is raised from $16,100 to $16,500 per unit 
to take into account increases in construction costs during the past 
12-month period.
    (b) Shelter Plus Care/Section 8 SRO Component. With regard to the 
Shelter Plus Care/Section 8 SRO component, applicant States, units of 
general local government and Indian tribes must subcontract with a 
Public Housing Authority to administer the Shelter Plus Care 
assistance. Also with regard to this component, no single project may 
contain more than 100 units.

VIII. Other Matters

Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities

    The use of funds awarded under this NOFA is subject to the 
disclosure requirements and prohibitions of Section 319 of the 
Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for 
Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the ``Byrd Amendment'') and the 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit 
recipients of Federal contracts, grants, or loans from using 
appropriated funds for lobbying the Executive or Legislative branches 
of the Federal government in connection with a specific contract, 
grant, or loan. The prohibition also covers the awarding of contracts, 
grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless the recipient has made 
an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. Under 24 CFR part 87, 
applicants, recipients and sub-recipients of assistance exceeding 
$100,000 must certify that no Federal funds have been or will be spent 
on lobbying activities in connection with the assistance.

Environmental Impact

    In accordance with 40 CFR 1508.4 of the regulations of the Council 
on Environmental Quality and 24 CFR 50.20(k) and (l) of the HUD 
regulations, the policies and procedures set forth in this document are 
determined not to have the potential for having a significant impact on 
the quality of the human environment, and therefore are exempt from 
further environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969. (This same determination was made at the time of 
development of the interim rule on the Supportive Housing Program, 
Shelter Plus Care, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room 
Occupancy Program for Homeless Individuals, that was published in the 
Federal Register on May 10, 1994 (59 FR 24252).

Executive Order 12606, The Family

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that the policies announced in 
this Notice would have a significant impact on the formation, 
maintenance, and general well-being of families, but since this impact 
would be beneficial, no further analysis under the Order is necessary.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

    The General Counsel has determined, as the Designated Official for 
HUD under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, that the 
policies contained in this Notice will not have federalism implications 
and, thus, are not subject to review under the Order. The promotion of 
activities and policies to end homelessness is a recognized goal of 
general benefit without direct implications on the relationship between 
the national government and the states or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among various levels of government.

Drug-Free Workplace Certification

    The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires grantees of Federal 
agencies to certify that they will provide drug-free workplaces. Thus, 
each applicant must certify that it will comply with drug-free 
workplace requirements in accordance with 24 CFR part 24, subpart F.

Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance

    HUD has promulgated a final rule to implement section 102 of the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD 
Reform Act). The final rule is codified at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102 
contains a number of provisions that are designed to ensure greater 
accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of 
assistance administered by HUD. On January 14, 1992, HUD published at 
57 FR 1942 additional information that gave the public (including 
applicants for, and recipients of, HUD assistance) further information 
on the implementation of section 102. The documentation, public access, 
and disclosure requirements of section 102 are applicable to assistance 
awarded under this NOFA as follows:

Documentation and Public Access Requirements

    HUD will ensure that documentation and other information regarding 
each application submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to 
indicate the basis upon which assistance was provided or denied. This 
material, including any letters of support, will be made available for 
public inspection for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 
days after the award of the assistance. Material will be made available 
in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and 
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will 
include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its 
Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on 
a competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice 
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for 
further information on these documentation and public access 
requirements.)

Disclosures

    HUD will make available to the public for five years all applicant 
disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection with this 
NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made available along with 
the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case for a period less than 
three years. All reports--both applicant disclosures and updates--will 
be made available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 
U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 15. (See 
24 CFR subpart C, and the notice published in the Federal Register on 
January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on these 
disclosure requirements.)

Section 103 HUD Reform Act

    HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, codified as 24 CFR 
part 4, applies to the funding competition announced today. The 
requirements of the rule continue to apply until the announcement of 
the

[[Page 10873]]
selection of successful applicants. HUD employees involved in the 
review of applications and in the making of funding decisions are 
limited by part 4 from providing advance information to any person 
(other than an authorized employee of HUD) concerning funding 
decisions, or from otherwise giving any applicant an unfair competitive 
advantage. Persons who apply for assistance in this competition should 
confine their inquiries to the subject areas permitted under 24 CFR 
part 4.
    Applicants or employees who have ethics related questions should 
contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-
free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program questions, 
such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons 
outside HUD, the employee should contact his or her Field Office 
Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question 
pertains.

Appendix B--Pro Rata Need Estimates

    Note: As described in the NOFA, each jurisdiction will be 
assigned a relative need index that will be applied to the total 
amount of funds available to determine its pro rata need. The pro 
rata need estimates below assume that all places listed will apply 
for funding. These estimates in no way guarantee a minimum or 
maximum funding level. Estimate A is based on Continuing Resolution 
funding level, with $675 million for this competition. Estimate B is 
based on the Administration's 1996 budget request, with $925 million 
for this competition.
