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.
Submissions
Applications that are mailed before June 12, 1996, but received
within ten (10) days after that date will be deemed to have been
received by that date if postmarked by the United States Postal Service
by no later than June 8, 1996. Overnight delivery items received after
June 12, 1996, will be deemed to have been received by that date upon
submission of documentary evidence that they were placed in transit
with the overnight delivery service by no later than June 11, 1996.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 11403 note; 42 U.S.C. 11389; 42 U.S.C.

and 882.
Dated: March 12, 1996.

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.
