Grants, Notice of Funding Availability--FY 1996

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 
1996.

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

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the availability of approximately 
$17,000,000 in FY 1996 funds for Federally Assisted Low-Income Housing 
Drug Elimination Grants. The purposes of the Assisted Housing Drug 
Elimination Program are to eliminate drug-related crime and related 
problems in and around the premises of Federally assisted low-income 
housing, and to make available grants to help owners of such housing 
carry out plans to address these issues. This document describes the 
purpose of the NOFA, applicant eligibility, available amounts, 
selection criteria, financial requirements, management, and application 
processing, including how to apply, how selections will be made, and 
how applicants will be notified of results.

    Note: The Congress has not yet enacted an FY 1996 appropriation 
for HUD. However, HUD is publishing this notice in order to give 
potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. The 
amount of funds announced in this NOFA is an estimate of the amount 
likely to be enacted in 1996. HUD is not bound by the estimate set 
forth in this notice. The estimated amount may be adjusted based on 
the enacted 1996 appropriation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA) have been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct 
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless the collection displays a valid control number. The 
OMB control number, when assigned, will be announced in the Federal 
Register.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(a) Authority

    These grants are authorized under chapter 2, subtitle C, title V of 
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 11901 et. seq.), as amended 
by section 581 of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA) 
(Pub. L. 101-625; approved November 28, 1990), and section 161 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-
550, approved October 28, 1992).

    Note: This NOFA does NOT apply to the funding available under 
the statute for Public and Indian Housing.

(b) Allocation Amounts

    (1) Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 Funding. This NOFA announces the 
availability of approximately $17,000,000 in FY 1996 funds.

    Note: The Congress has not yet enacted an FY 1996 appropriation 
for HUD. However, HUD is publishing this notice in order to give 
potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. The 
amount of funds announced in this NOFA is an estimate of the amount 
likely to be enacted in 1996. HUD is not bound by the estimate set 
forth in this notice. The estimated amount may be adjusted based on 
the enacted 1996 appropriation.

    HUD is allocating grant funds under this NOFA to four ``Award 
Offices'' on the basis of a formula allocation. This formula allocation 
reflects the number of eligible Federally assisted low-income housing 
units in specific geographic areas and the level of drug-related crime 
within each area, based on statistics compiled by the U.S. Department 
of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (``Uniform Crime Reports 
for Drug Abuse Violations--1990'').
    (2) Maximum Grant Award Amounts. The maximum grant award amount is 
limited to $125,000 per project.
    (3) Reallocation. Any grant funds under this NOFA that are 
allocated but that are not reserved for grantees must be released to 
HUD Headquarters for reallocation. HUD reserves the right to fund 
portions of full applications. If the HUD Award Office determines that 
an application cannot be partially funded and there are insufficient 
funds to fund the application fully, any remaining funds after all 
other applications have been selected will be released to HUD 
Headquarters for reallocation. Amounts that may become available due to 
deobligation will also be reallocated to Headquarters.
    All reallocated funds will be awarded in the following manner: HUD 
Award Offices will submit to Headquarters a list of applications, with 
their scores and amount of funding requested, that would have been 
funded had there been sufficient funds in the appropriate allocation to 
do so. Headquarters will select applications from those submitted by 
the HUD Award Offices, using a random number lottery overseen by the 
Offices of Housing, General Counsel, and Inspector General, and make 
awards from any available reallocated funds.

[[Page 15165]]

    (4) Reduction of Requested Grant Amounts. HUD may award an amount 
less than requested if:
    (i) HUD determines the amount requested for an eligible activity is 
unreasonable;
    (ii) Insufficient amounts remain under the allocation to fund the 
full amount requested by the applicant, and HUD determines that partial 
funding is a viable option;
    (iii) HUD determines that some elements of the proposed plan are 
suitable for funding and others are not;
    (iv) HUD determines that a reduced grant would prevent duplicative 
Federal funding; or
    (v) For any other reason where good cause exists.
    (5) Distribution of Funds. HUD is allocating funds to four Award 
Offices that will receive the scores from each HUD Field Office that 
has received, rated, ranked, and scored its applications. Those Award 
Offices will, in turn, request funding for the properties with the 
highest score from each HUD Field Office. If sufficient funds remain, 
the next highest scored applications, regardless of HUD Field Office, 
will be awarded funds. HUD intends to allocate grant funds under this 
NOFA to the four Award Offices, in accordance with the following 
schedule:

    Note: The Congress has not yet enacted an FY 1996 appropriation 
for HUD. However, HUD is publishing this notice in order to give 
potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. The 
amount of funds announced in this NOFA is an estimate of the amount

the enacted 1996 appropriation.

(c) Eligibility

    The following is a listing of eligible activities, ineligible 
activities, eligible applicants, and general grant requirements under 
this NOFA:
    (1) Eligible activities. Please note that the maximum term of the 
grant is 12 months.
    It is the goal and intent of the Federally Assisted Low-Income 
Housing Drug Elimination Grant Program to foster a sense of community 
in dealing with the issues of drug-related criminal activity. HUD 
greatly desires and encourages programs that foster interrelationships 
among the residents, the housing owner and management, the local law 
enforcement agencies, and other community groups affecting the housing. 
Resident participation in the determination of programs and activities 
to be undertaken is critical to the success of all aspects of the 
program. Working jointly with community groups, the neighborhood law 
enforcement precinct, residents of adjacent properties, and the 
community as a whole can enhance and magnify the effect of specific 
program activities and should be the goal of all applicants.
    (i) Physical Improvements to Enhance Security. Physical 
improvements that are specifically designed to enhance security are 
eligible for funding under this program. The improvements may include 
(but are not limited to) systems designed to limit building access to 
project residents, the installation of barriers, lighting systems, 
fences, bolts, locks; the landscaping or reconfiguration of common 
areas to discourage drug-related crime; and other physical improvements 
designed to enhance security and discourage drug-related activities. In 
particular, HUD is seeking plans that provide successful, proven, and 
cost-effective deterrents to drug-related crime that are designed to 
address the realities of low-income assisted housing environments. All 
physical improvements must also be accessible to persons with 
disabilities. For example, some types of locks or buzzer systems are 
not accessible to persons with limited strength, mobility, or to 
persons who are hearing-impaired. All physical improvements must meet 
the accessibility requirements of 24 CFR part 8.
    (ii) Programs to Reduce the Use Of Drugs. Programs designed to 
reduce the use of drugs in and around Federally-assisted low-income 
housing projects including drug-abuse prevention, intervention, 
referral, and treatment programs are eligible for funding under this 
program. The program should facilitate drug prevention, intervention, 
and treatment efforts, including outreach to community resources and 
youth activities, and facilitate bringing these resources onto the 
premises, or provide resident referrals to treatment programs or 
transportation to out-patient treatment programs away from the 
premises. Funding is permitted for reasonable, necessary, and justified 
leasing of vehicles for resident youth and adult education and training 
activities directly related to programs to reduce the use of drugs 
under this section of the NOFA. Alcohol-related activities/programs are 
not eligible for funding under this NOFA.
    (A) Drug Prevention. Drug prevention programs that will be 
considered for funding under this NOFA must provide a comprehensive 
drug prevention approach for residents that will address the individual 
resident and his or her relationship to family, peers, and the 
community. Prevention programs must include activities designed to 
identify and change the factors present in Federally-assisted low-
income housing that lead to drug-related problems, and thereby lower 
the risk of drug usage. Many components of a comprehensive approach, 
such as refusal and restraint skills training programs or drug-related 
family counseling, may already be available in the community of the 
applicant's housing projects, and the applicant must act to bring those 
available program components onto the premises. Activities that should 
be included in these programs are:
    (1) Drug Education Opportunities for Residents. The causes and 
effects of illegal drug usage must be discussed in a formal setting to 
provide both young people and adults the working knowledge and skills 
they need to make informed decisions to confront the potential and 
immediate dangers of illegal drugs. Grantees may contract (in 
accordance with 24 CFR 85.36) with drug education professionals to 
provide appropriate training or workshops. The drug education 
professionals contracted to provide these services shall be required to 
base their services upon the

[[Page 15166]]
program plan of the grantee. These educational opportunities may be a 
part of resident meetings, youth activities, or other gatherings of 
residents.
    (2) Family and Other Support Services. Drug prevention programs 
must demonstrate that they will provide directly or otherwise make 
available services designed to distribute drug education information, 
to foster effective parenting skills, and to provide referrals for 
treatment and other available support services in the project or the 
community for families living in Federally assisted low-income housing.
    (3) Youth Services. Drug prevention programs must demonstrate that 
they have included groups composed of young people as a part of their 
prevention programs. These groups must be coordinated by adults with 
the active participation of youth to organize youth leadership, sports, 
recreational, cultural, and other activities involving housing youth. 
The dissemination of drug education information, the development of 
peer leadership skills, and other drug prevention activities must be a 
component of youth services. Activities or services funded under this 
program may not also be funded under the Youth Sports Program.
    (4) Economic/Educational Opportunities for Residents and Youth. 
Drug prevention programs should demonstrate the ability to provide 
residents the opportunity for referral to established higher education 
or vocational institutions with the goal of developing or building on 
the residents' skills to pursue educational, vocational, and economic 
goals. The program must also demonstrate the ability to provide 
residents the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in 
their immediate community for the same desired goals.
    (B) Intervention. The aim of intervention is to identify Federally-
assisted low-income housing resident drug users and assist them in 
modifying their behavior and in obtaining early treatment, if 
necessary. The applicant must establish a program with the goal of 
preventing drug problems from continuing once detected.
    (C) Drug Treatment.
    (1) Treatment funded under this program shall be in and around the 
premises of the Federally-assisted low-income housing projects proposed 
for funding.
    (2) Funds awarded under this program shall be targeted towards the 
development and implementation of new drug referral treatment services 
and/or aftercare, or the improvement or expansion of such program 
services for residents.
    (3) Each proposed drug treatment program should address the 
following goals:
    (i) Increase resident accessibility to drug treatment services;
    (ii) Decrease criminal activity in and around Federally-assisted 
low-income housing projects by reducing illicit drug use among 
residents; and
    (iii) Provide services designed for youth and/or maternal drug 
abusers, e.g., prenatal/postpartum care, specialized counseling in 
women's issues, parenting classes, or other drug supportive services.
    (4) Approaches that have proven effective with similar populations 
will be considered for funding. Programs should meet the following 
criteria:
    (i) Applicants may provide the service of formal referral 
arrangements to other treatment programs not in and around the project 
when the resident is able to obtain treatment costs from sources other 
than this program. Applicants may also provide transportation for 
residents to out-patient treatment and/or support programs.
    (ii) Provide family/collateral counseling.
    (iii) Provide linkages to educational/vocational counseling.
    (iv) Provide coordination of services to appropriate local drug 
agencies, HIV-related service agencies, and mental health and public 
health programs.
    (v) Applicants must demonstrate a working partnership with the 
Single State Agency or State license provider or authority with drug 
program coordination responsibilities to coordinate, develop, and 
implement the drug treatment proposal. In particular, applicants must 
review and determine with the Single State Agency or State license 
provider or authority with drug program coordination responsibilities 
whether:
    (A) The drug treatment provider(s) has provided drug treatment 
services to similar populations, identified in the application, for two 
prior years; and
    (B) The drug treatment proposal is consistent with the State 
treatment plan and the treatment service meets all State licensing 
requirements.
    (iii) Resident Councils (RCs). Providing funding to resident 
councils to strengthen their role in developing programs of eligible 
activities involving site residents is eligible for funding under this 
program.
    (2) Ineligible activities. Funding is not permitted for any 
activities listed below:
    (i) Any activity or improvement that is normally funded from 
project operating revenues for routine maintenance or repairs, or those 
activities or improvements that may be funded through reasonable and 
affordable rent increases.
    (ii) The acquisition of real property or physical improvements that 
involve the demolition of any units in the project or displacement of 
tenants.
    (iii) Costs incurred prior to the effective date of the grant 
agreement, including, but not limited to, consultant fees for surveys 
related to the application or its preparation.
    (iv) Reimbursement of local law enforcement agencies for additional 
security and protective services.
    (v) The employment of one or more individuals:
    (A) To investigate drug-related crime on or about the real property 
comprising any Federally-assisted low-income project; or
    (B) To provide evidence relating to such crime in any 
administrative or judicial proceeding.
    (vi) The provision of training, communications equipment, and other 
related equipment for use by voluntary tenant patrols acting in 
cooperation with local law enforcement officials.
    (vii) Funding is not permitted for treatment of residents at any 
in-patient medical treatment programs/facilities.
    (viii) Funding is not permitted for detoxification procedures, 
short term or long term, designed to reduce or eliminate the presence 
of toxic substances in the body tissues of a patient.
    (ix) Funding is not permitted for maintenance drug programs. 
Maintenance drugs are medications that are prescribed regularly for a 
long period of supportive therapy (e.g., methadone maintenance), rather 
than for immediate control of a disorder.
    (3) Eligible Applicants. The applicant must be the owner of a 
Federally assisted low-income housing project under:
    (i) Section 221(d)(3), section 221(d)(4), or section 236 of the 
National Housing Act. (Note however, only section 221(d)(4) and section 
221(d)(3) market rate projects with project-based assistance contracts 
are considered Federally assisted low-income housing. Therefore, 
section 221(d)(4) and section 221(d)(3) market rate projects with 
tenant-based assistance contracts are not considered Federally assisted 
low-income housing and are not eligible for funding.);
    (ii) Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965; 
or
    (iii) Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
    (4) General Grant Requirements. The following requirements apply to 
all activities, programs, or functions used

[[Page 15167]]
to plan, budget and evaluate the work funded under this program.
    (i) After applications have been ranked and selected, HUD and the 
applicant shall enter into a grant agreement setting forth the amount 
of the grant, the physical improvements or other eligible activities to 
be undertaken, financial controls, and special conditions, including 
sanctions for violation of the agreement.
    (ii) The policies, guidelines and requirements of this NOFA, 48 CFR 
part 31, other applicable OMB cost principles, HUD program regulations, 
HUD Handbooks, and the terms of grant/special conditions and subgrant 
agreements apply to the acceptance and use of assistance by grantees 
and will be followed in determining the reasonableness and allocability 
of costs. All costs must be reasonable and necessary.
    (iii) The term of funded activities may not exceed 12 months.
    (iv) Owners must ensure that any funds received under this program 
are not commingled with other HUD or project operating funds.
    (v) To avoid duplicate funding owners must establish controls to 
assure that any funds from other sources, such as Reserve for 
Replacement or Rent Increases, are not used to fund the physical 
improvements to be undertaken under this program.
    (vi) Employment preference. A grantee under this program shall give 
preference to the employment of residents, and comply with section 3 of 
the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and 24 CFR part 135, to 
carry out any of the eligible activities under this part, so long as 
such residents have comparable qualifications and training as 
nonresident applicants.
    (vii) Termination of funding. HUD may terminate funding if the 
grantee fails to: undertake the approved program activities on a timely 
basis in accordance with the grant agreement, adhere to grant agreement 
requirements or special conditions, or submit timely and accurate 
reports.
    (viii) Subgrants (subcontracting):
    (A) A grantee may directly undertake any of the eligible activities 
under this NOFA, or it may contract with a qualified third party, 
including incorporated Resident Councils (RCs). Resident groups that 
are not incorporated RCs may share with the grantee in the 
implementation of the program, but may not receive funds as 
subgrantees.
    (B) Subgrants or cash contributions to incorporated RCs may be made 
only under a written agreement executed between the grantee and the RC. 
The agreement must include a program budget that is acceptable to the 
grantee, and that is otherwise consistent with the grant application 
budget. The agreement must obligate the incorporated RC to permit the 
grantee to inspect and audit the RC financial records related to the 
agreement, and to account to the grantee on the use of grant funds and 
the implementation of program activities. In addition, the agreement 
must describe the nature of the activities to be undertaken by the 
subgrantee, the scope of the subgrantee's authority, and the amount of 
insurance to be obtained by the grantee and the subgrantee to protect 
their respective interests.
    (C) The grantee shall be responsible for monitoring, and for 
providing technical assistance to, any subgrantee to ensure compliance 
with HUD program requirements, including OMB Circular Nos. A-110 and A-
122, which apply to the acceptance and use of assistance by private 
nonprofit organizations. The procurement requirements of Attachment O 
of Circular A-110 apply to RCs. The grantee must also ensure that 
subgrantees have appropriate insurance liability coverage.

(d) Selection Criteria and Ranking Factors

    HUD will review each application to determine that it meets the 
requirements of this NOFA and to assign points in accordance with the 
selection criteria. A total of 200 points is the maximum score 
available under the selection criteria. An application must receive a 
score of at least 151 points out of the maximum of 200 points that may 
be awarded under this competition to be eligible for funding. After 
assigning points to each application, HUD Field Offices will rank the 
applications in order. The Award Office will select the highest ranking 
application from each HUD Field Office whose eligible activities can be 
fully funded. The Award Office will then select the highest scored 
unfunded application submitted to it regardless of Field Office and 
continue the process until all funds allocated to it have been awarded 
or to the point that there are insufficient acceptable applications for 
which to award funds.
    Grants under this program are categorically excluded from review 
under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 
4321). However, prior to the award of grant funds under the program, 
HUD will perform an environmental review to the extent required under 
the provisions of 24 CFR 50.4.
    Each application submitted will be evaluated on the basis of the 
following selection criteria:
    (1) The Quality of the Plan to Address the Problem. (maximum 
points: 60)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) The quality of the applicant's plan to address the drug-related 
crime problem, and the problems associated with drug-related crime, in 
the projects proposed for funding, and how well the activities proposed 
for funding fit in with the plan. (maximum points: 10)
    (ii) The anticipated effectiveness of the plan and the proposed 
activities in reducing or eliminating drug-related crime problems over 
an extended period. (maximum points: 10)
    (iii) How the activities identified in the plan will affect and 
address the problem of drug-related crime in adjacent properties. 
(maximum points: 5)
    (iv) Evidence that the proposed activities have been found 
successful in similar circumstances in terms of controlling drug-
related crime. (maximum points: 5)
    (v) Whether the property is located within an area identified as 
having a Safe Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) or similar plan or 
program designated for combatting drug-related criminal activity. (0 
points if not, 20 points if so located.)
    (vi) Whether the property is participating in Neighborhood Networks 
(NN) (formerly called Computerized Community Connections (CCC)) and has 
submitted a NN Plan or other evidence of commitment to NN (see section 
III.(j) of this NOFA). (maximum points: 10 for submitting a NN Plan, 5 
for submitting other evidence committing to NN.)
    (2) The Support of Local Government/Law Enforcement Agencies. 
(maximum points: 20)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) Evidence that the project owner has sought assistance in 
deterring drug-related crime problems and the extent to which the owner 
has participated in programs that are available from local governments 
or law enforcement agencies; (maximum points: 10); and
    (ii) The level of support by the local government or law 
enforcement agency for the applicant's proposed activities. (maximum 
points: 10)
    (3) The Extent of the Drug-Related Crime Problem in the Housing 
Project Proposed for Assistance. (maximum points: 50)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the degree of 
severity of the drug-related crime problem in the project proposed for 
funding, as

[[Page 15168]]
demonstrated by the information required to be submitted under section 
III.(h) of this NOFA.
    (4) The Support of Residents in Planning and Implementing the 
Proposed Activities. (maximum points: 30)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) Evidence that comments and suggestions have been sought from 
residents to the proposed plan for this program, and the degree to 
which residents will be involved in implementation. (maximum points: 
20)
    (ii) Evidence of resident support for the proposed plan. (maximum 
points: 10)
    (5) Capacity of Owner and Management to Undertake the Proposed 
Activities: (maximum points: 40)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following:
    (i) The most recent Management Review completed by the HUD Field 
Office. (Note: The HUD Field Office will conduct another management 
review after application submission if the most recent management 
review is more than one year old). (maximum points: 30)
    (ii) Submission of evidence that project owners have initiated 
other efforts to reduce drug-related crime by working with tenant/law 
enforcement groups (e.g., establishment of Tenant Watches or similar 
efforts). (maximum points: 5)
    (iii) Submission of evidence that project management carefully 
screens applicants for units and takes appropriate steps to deal with 
known or suspected tenants exhibiting drug-related criminal behavior. 
(maximum points: 5)

II. Application Process

    (a) Application Form: An application form may be obtained from the 
HUD Field Office having jurisdiction over the location of the applicant 
project. The HUD Field Office will be available to provide technical 
assistance on the preparation of applications during the application 
period.
    (b) Application Submission: A separate application must be 
submitted for each project. An application (original and one copy) must 
be received by the deadline at the appropriate HUD Field Office with 
jurisdiction over the applicant project, Attention: Director of 
Multifamily Housing. It is not sufficient for the application to bear a 
postage date within the submission time period. Applications submitted 
by facsimile (FAX) are not acceptable and will not be considered. 
Applications received after the deadline will not be considered. No 
applications will be accepted after 4:00 PM (local time) in the 
appropriate HUD Field Office on June 3, 1996. This application deadline 
is firm as to date and hour. In the interest of fairness to all 
competing applicants, HUD will treat as ineligible for consideration 
any application that is received after the deadline. Applicants should 
take this practice into account and make early submission of their 
materials to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by 
unanticipated delays or other delivery-related problems.
    (c) Application Notification. HUD will notify all applicants 
whether or not they were selected for funding.

III. Checklist of Application Submission Requirements

    To qualify for a grant under this program, an applicant must submit 
an application to HUD that contains the following:
    (a) Application for Federal Assistance form (Standard Form SF-424 
and SF-424A). The form must be signed by the applicant.
    (b) A description of the applicant's plan for addressing the 
problem of drug-related crime in the projects for which funding is 
sought, which should include the activities to be funded under this 
program along with all other initiatives being undertaken by the 
applicant. The description should also include a discussion of:
    (1) The anticipated effectiveness of the plan and the proposed 
activities in reducing or eliminating drug-related crime problems over 
an extended period.
    (2) How the activities identified in the plan will affect and 
address the problem of drug-related crime in adjacent properties.
    (3) Other efforts that project owners have initiated to reduce 
drug-related crime by working with tenant/law enforcement groups (e.g., 
establishment of Tenant Watches or similar efforts).
    (4) Procedures that project management uses to screen applicants 
for units, and steps taken to deal with known or suspected tenants 
exhibiting drug-related criminal behavior.
    (c) Each applicant for funding for physical improvements must 
submit a written plan fully describing the physical improvements to be 
undertaken with per unit dollar costs for each item. This plan must be 
signed by the owner.
    (d) Each applicant must submit a letter from the local government 
or police (law enforcement) agency that describes the type of drug-
related crime in the project proposed for grant funding and its 
immediate environs, and expresses a commitment to assist the owner in 
taking steps to reduce or eliminate the drug-related crime problems of 
the project.
    (e) A description of the procedure used to involve residents in the 
development of the plan, and written summaries of any comments and 
suggestions received from residents on the proposed plan, along with 
evidence that the owner carefully considered the comments of residents 
and incorporated their suggestions in the plan, when practical.
    (f) A description of the support of residents for the proposed 
activities, and the ways in which residents will be involved in 
implementing the plan. Letters of support from residents or a 
resolution from the resident organization may be used.
    (g) A copy of the most recent management review performed by HUD, 
and evidence supporting the capacity of the owner and management to 
undertake the proposed activities.
    (h) Detailed information, such as local government and police 
reports, showing the degree of drug-related crime in the project and 
adjacent properties to demonstrate the degree of severity of the drug-
related crime problem. This information may consist of:
    (1) Objective data. The best available objective data on the 
nature, source, and extent of the drug-related crime problem, and the 
problems associated with drug-related crime. These data may include 
(but are not necessarily limited to) crime statistics from Federal, 
State, tribal, or local law enforcement agencies, or information from 
the applicant's records on the types and sources of drug-related crime 
in the project proposed for assistance; descriptive data as to the 
types of offenders committing drug-related crime in the applicant's 
project (e.g., age, residence, etc.); the number of lease terminations 
or evictions for drug-related criminal activity; the number of 
emergency room admissions for drug use or drug-related crime; the 
number of police calls for drug-related criminal activity; the number 
of residents placed in treatment for substance abuse; and the school 
drop-out rate and level of absenteeism for youth. If crime statistics 
are not available at the project or precinct level, the applicant may 
use other reliable objective data including those derived from the 
owner's records or those of private groups that collect such data. The 
crime statistics should be reported both in real numbers and as a 
percentage of the residents in each project (e.g., 20 arrests for 
distribution of heroin in a project with 100 residents reflects a 20 
percent occurrence rate).

[[Page 15169]]
The data should cover the past 3-year period and, to the extent 
feasible, should indicate whether these data reflect a percentage 
increase or decrease in drug-related crime over the past several years. 
Applicants must address in their assessment how these crimes have 
affected the project and how the applicant's overall plan and strategy 
is specifically tailored to address these drug-related crime problems.
    (2) Other data on the extent of drug-related crime. To the extent 
that objective data as described under paragraph (1)(i) of this section 
may not be available, or to complement that data, the assessment may 
use relevant information from other sources that have a direct bearing 
on drug-related crime problems in the project proposed for assistance. 
However, if other relevant information is to be used in place of, 
rather than to complement, objective data, the application must 
indicate the reason(s) why objective data could not be obtained and 
what efforts were made to obtain it. Examples of other data include: 
resident/staff surveys on drug-related issues or on-site reviews to 
determine drug activity; the use of local government or scholarly 
studies or other research conducted in the past year that analyze drug 
activity in the targeted project; vandalism costs and related vacancies 
attributable to drug-related crime; information from schools, health 
service providers, residents and police; and the opinions and 
observations of individuals having direct knowledge of drug-related 
crime problems concerning the nature and extent of those problems in 
the project proposed for assistance. (These individuals may include law 
enforcement officials, resident or community leaders, school officials, 
community medical officials, drug treatment or counseling 
professionals, or other social service providers.)
    (i) If applying for drug treatment program funding, a certification 
that the applicant has notified and consulted with the relevant Single 
State Agency or other local authority with drug program coordination 
responsibilities concerning its application; and that the proposed drug 
treatment program has been reviewed by the relevant Single State Agency 
or other local authority and that it is consistent with the State 
treatment plan; and that the relevant Single State Agency or other 
local authority has determined that the drug treatment provider(s) has 
provided drug treatment services to similar populations identified in 
the application for two prior years.
    (j) If applying for Neighborhood Network (NN) points under section 
I.(d)(1)(vi) of this NOFA, an applicant must have an approved NN Plan, 
submitted a Plan to the Field Office for review, or provide other 
evidence that a commitment to NN is forthcoming. This evidence may 
include either a resolution of the resident council supporting NN for 
the project to be established during the period of the Drug Elimination 
Grant or a similar statement from the owner and managing agent.
    (k) Drug-free workplace. The certification with regard to the drug-
free workplace required by 24 CFR part 24, subpart F and appendix C.
    (l) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. If the amount applied for is 
greater than $100,000, the certification with regard to lobbying 
required by 24 CFR part 87 must be included. See section VI.(g), below, 
of this NOFA. If the amount applied for is greater than $100,000 and 
the applicant has made or has agreed to make any payment using 
nonappropriated funds for lobbying activity, as described in 24 CFR 
part 87, the submission must also include the Disclosure of Lobbying 
Activities Form (SF-LLL).
    (m) Form HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report.

IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications

    HUD will notify the applicant within ten (10) working days of the 
receipt of the application if there are any curable technical 
deficiencies in the application. Curable technical deficiencies relate 
to minimum eligibility requirements (such as certifications, 
signatures, etc.) that are necessary for funding approval but that do 
not relate to the quality of the applicant's program proposal under the 
selection criteria. The owner must submit corrections in accordance 
with the information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the 
date of the HUD notification.

VI. Other Matters.

    (a) Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity. The following 
nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements apply:
    (1) The requirements of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 
(Fair Housing Act) (42 U.S.C. 3600-20) and implementing regulations 
issued at 24 CFR chapter I, subchapter A; Executive Order 11063 (Equal 
Opportunity in Housing) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 
107; and title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-
2000d-4) (Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs) and 
implementing regulations issued at 24 CFR part 1;
    (2) The prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age 
under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-07) and 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 146, and the prohibitions 
against discrimination against handicapped individuals under section 
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and implementing 
regulations at 24 CFR part 8;
    (3) The requirements of Executive Order 11246 (Equal Employment 
Opportunity) and the regulations issued under the Order at 41 CFR part 
60-1;
    (4) The requirements of Executive Orders 11625, 12432, and 12138. 
Consistent with HUD's responsibilities under these Orders, recipients 
must make efforts to encourage the use of minority and women's business 
enterprises in connection with funded activities.
    (5) The requirements of section 3 of the Housing and Urban 
Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701a), and with implementing 
regulations in 24 CFR part 135.
    (b) Environmental Impact. A Finding of No Significant Impact with 
respect to the environment has been made in accordance with HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR part 50 that implement section 102(2)(C) of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332. The Finding 
of No Significant Impact is available for public inspection and copying 
from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, 
Room 10276, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC.
    (c) Federalism Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated 
Official under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has 
determined that the provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism 
implications'' within the meaning of the Order. The NOFA announces the 
availability of funds and provides the application requirements for 
Federally Assisted Low-Income Housing Drug Elimination Grants focusing 
on activities designed to deter drug-related crime. Deterring drug-
related crime 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.
    (d) Family Impact. The General Counsel, as the Designated Official 
under Executive Order 12606, The Family, has determined that the 
policies announced in this NOFA will not have a significant impact on 
the formation, maintenance, and general well-being of

[[Page 15170]]
families, except indirectly to the extent of the social and other 
benefits expected from this program of assistance.
    (e) Section 102 HUD Reform Act Applicant/Recipient Disclosures. 
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 in 24 CFR part 4. 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 in 
the Federal Register (57 FR 1942) 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. 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 5-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 part 4, and the notice published in the Federal 
Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on 
these requirements.)
    Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for 5 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 3 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 part 15, subpart C, and the notice published 
in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further 
information on these disclosure requirements.)
    (f) Section 103 HUD Reform Act. HUD's regulations implementing 
section 103 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform 
Act of 1989, codified in 24 CFR part 4, apply to this funding 
competition. The requirements of the regulations continue to apply 
until the announcement of the 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 about what information may be discussed with them 
during the selection may contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-
3815. (This is not a toll-free number.) HUD employees who have specific 
program questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be 
discussed with persons outside HUD should contact the appropriate Field 
Office Counsel or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the 
question pertains.
    (g) 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 subrecipients 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.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 11901 et seq.

    Dated: March 27, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
