SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the rental voucher and rental 
certificate programs is to assist eligible families to pay the rent for 
decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The FY 1993 awards announced in 
this notice were selected for funding consistent with the provisions in 
the Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) published in the Federal 
Register.
    The Family Unification Demonstration Program is authorized by 
section 8(x) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as added by section 553 
of the National Affordable Housing Act (Pub. L. 101-625, approved 
November 28, 1990) (42 U.S.C. 1437f(x); the VA. HUD-Independent 
Agencies Appropriations Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-139, approved October 
28, 1991) (HUD Appropriations Act of 1992), and the VA, HUD-Independent 
Agencies Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-389, approved October 6, 1992) 
(Appropriation Act of 1993).
    The FY 1993 Family Unification NOFA was published in the Federal 
Register on July 6, 1993 (58 FR 36266), and invited HAs to apply for 
funds available under the Section 8 rental certificate programs. The 
purpose of the Family Unification Program is to provide housing 
assistance to families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a 
primary factor in the separation, or imminent separation, of children 
from their families. A total of $72,431,000 of budget authority for 
rental vouchers and rental certificates (1,651 units) was awarded to 
recipients.
    The Moving to Opportunity (MTO) for Fair Housing Demonstration 
program is authorized under Title I, Subtitle C, Section 152 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and the ``Annual 
Contributions for Assisted Housing'' heading of Title II of the VA, 
HUD-Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-139, 
approved October 28, 1991).
    The FY 1993 MTO Demonstration program NOFA was published in the 
Federal Register on August 16, 1993 (58

[[Page 29110]]

FR 43458), and invited housing agencies in the largest 21 metropolitan 
areas nationwide to apply for funding. The MTO program provides rental 
assistance to families with children who reside in public housing and 
project-based Section 8 to move out of areas of high-poverty 
concentrations to areas of low-poverty concentration. A total of $49.5 
million of rental voucher funding (940 units) and $18.9 million of 
rental certificate funding (388 units) and $499,999 of housing 
counseling funds was awarded to housing agencies.
    The Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program is 
authorized by the Departments of Veterans Affair and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993 (Pub. 
L. 102-389, approved October 6, 1992).
    The FY 1993 VASH program NOFA was published in the Federal Register 
on September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51192), and invited housing agencies to 
apply for funding. The VASH program is a joint effort of HUD and the 
Department of Veterans Affairs that provides rental assistance to 
homeless veterans who qualify based on their participation in a VA 
medical center program. A total of $19.1 million of rental voucher 
funding (590 units) was awarded to housing agencies.
    The Elderly Independence demonstration is authorized by section 803 
of the National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 8012) (NAHA). The 
HOPE for Elderly Independence Program Guidelines were published in the 
Federal Register on February 4, 1991 (56 FR 4506). The application 
submission and processing requirements contained in the February 4, 
1991 Guidelines were amended by notice published in the Federal 
Register on May 29, 1992 (57 FR 22816).
    The FY 1993 HOPE for Elderly Independence program NOFA was 
published in the Federal Register on July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39372), and 
invited housing agencies to apply for funding. The Elderly Independence 
program was designed to provide rental assistance and supportive 
services to the frail elderly in order to prevent the placement of the 
frail elderly into nursing homes. A total of $32.1 million of five-year 
Section 8 rental voucher budget authority (1,186 units) was awarded to 
housing agencies. In addition, a total of $8.5 million in grant funds 
for supportive services for the frail elderly was awarded to housing 
agencies.
    The HOPE for Elderly Independence Multifamily Project Demonstration 
is authorized by section 803(h) of the National Affordable Housing Act 
(42 U.S.C. 8012) (NAHA). Section 8 project-based certificate (PBC) 
assistance is governed by section 8(d)(2)(B) of the U.S. Housing Act of 
1937. The Multifamily Project Demonstration differs from the HOPE for 
Elderly Independence (Nationwide) Demonstration, the NOFA for which was 
published on July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39372), in that the Multifamily 
Project Demonstration is limited to one multifamily housing project in 
one HUD Region and uses section 8 PBC assistance instead of tenant-
based section 8 rental vouchers or certificates. The Project Guidelines 
governing the Multifamily Project Demonstration are consistent with, 
but not identical to, the Program Guidelines for the HOPE for Elderly 
Independence (Nationwide) Demonstration, published in the Federal 
Register on February 4, 1991 (56 FR 4506), and amended on May 29, 1992 
(57 FR 22816).
    The FY 1994 HOPE for Elderly Independence Multifamily Project 
Demonstration NOFA was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 
1994 (59 FR 16050), and invited housing agencies in HUD's Region I, 
which included the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, 
Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, to apply for funding. The 
purpose of the Elderly Independence Multifamily Project Demonstration 
was to determine the feasibility of using Section 8 project-based 
rental certificate funding to assist frail elderly persons to live 
independently in a single multifamily housing project designed for 
elderly persons and persons with disabilities. HUD awarded $5,440,500 
in Section 8 rental certificate funding and $990,805 in supportive 
services grant funds to the Westbrook Housing Authority, P.O. Box 349, 
Westbrook, Maine 04092-0000.
    In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235, 
approved December 15, 1989), the Department is hereby publishing the 
names, addresses, and amounts of those awards as shown on the 
attachment.

    Dated: June 3, 1996.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
