Deadline.

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

SUMMARY: On March 15, 1996 (61 FR 10866), HUD published a notice 
announcing the availability of fiscal year (FY) 1996 funding for three 
of its programs which assist communities in combatting homelessness. 
The three programs are: (1) Supportive Housing; (2) Shelter Plus Care; 
and (3) Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation for Single Room Occupancy 
Dwellings for Homeless Individuals.
    The March 15, 1996 NOFA provided for an application deadline of 
June 12, 1996. Due to possible ambiguity concerning timely submission 
of the application by the June 12, 1996 application deadline, HUD is 
extending the application deadline to July 3, 1996. All applications 
that HUD has received or will receive following publication of the 
March 15, 1996 NOFA through and including the date of the new 
application deadline set forth in this notice will be considered timely 
filed.

DEADLINE DATES: All applications are due in HUD Headquarters before 
midnight Eastern Time on July 3, 1996. HUD will treat as ineligible for 
consideration applications that are received after that deadline. 
Applications may not be sent by facsimile (FAX).
    Applications Mailed. Applications that are mailed before will be 
considered timely filed if postmarked before midnight on July 3, 1996.
    Applications Sent by Overnight Delivery. Overnight delivery items 
received after July 3, 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 July 2, 
1996.

Housing and Urban Development at the above address.
    Copies of Applications to Field Offices. Two copies of the

appears in an appendix of the March 15, 1996 NOFA (61 FR 10866). Field 
Office copies must be received by the application deadline as well, but 
a determination that an application was received on time will be made

supplemental maps, charts, or project lists, please include these files 
on the diskette as well.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 15, 1996 (61 FR 10866), HUD 
published a notice announcing the availability of fiscal year (FY) 1996 
funding for three of its programs which assist communities in 
combatting homelessness. The three programs are: (1) Supportive 
Housing; (2) Shelter Plus Care; and (3) Section 8 Moderate 
Rehabilitation for Single Room Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless 
Individuals.
    The March 15, 1996 NOFA provided for an application deadline of 
midnight Eastern Time on June 12, 1996, and designated certain 
submission procedures if the application was mailed through the U.S. 
Postal Service or submitted by overnight delivery service. The 
application kit issued with this NOFA also provided for a June 12, 1996 
application deadline, but did not contain the special procedures to be 
followed if the application was to be mailed or submitted by overnight 
delivery service.
    Due to possible ambiguity concerning timely submission of the 
application by the June 12, 1996 application deadline, HUD is extending 
the application deadline to July 3, 1996. All applications that HUD has 
received or will receive following publication of the March 15, 1996 
NOFA through and including the date of the new application deadline set 
forth in this notice will be considered timely filed. The new deadline 
is set forth in the ``Deadline Dates'' section of this document.

    Dated: June 25, 1996.
Andrew Cuomo,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
