    The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have 
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and assigned OMB

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

    Section 801 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing 
Act (NAHA) (Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990), amended 
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 1701q). Section 202 
was also amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 
(HCD Act of 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992), and by 
the Rescissions Act (Pub. L. 104-19, approved July 27, 1995). The 
Secretary is authorized to provide assistance to private nonprofit 
organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives to expand the supply 
of supportive housing for the elderly. HUD provides the assistance as 
capital advances and contracts for project rental assistance in 
accordance with 24 CFR part 891. This assistance may be used to finance 
the construction or rehabilitation of a structure, or acquisition of a 
structure from the Resolution Trust Corporation (now the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation (RTC/FDIC), to be used as supportive 
housing for the elderly in accordance with part 891.
    Note that on March 22, 1996, HUD published a final rule (61 FR 
11948) that consolidated the regulations for the Section 202 Program of 
Supportive Housing for the Elderly and the Section 811 Program of 
Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities in 24 CFR part 891.
    For supportive housing for the elderly, the Omnibus Consolidated 
Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, approved 
April 26, 1996)(Act) provides Sec. 780,190,000 for capital advances, 
including amendments to capital advance contracts (not procurement 
contracts), for housing for the elderly as authorized by section 202 of 
the Housing Act of 1959, (as amended by the NAHA and HCD Act of 1992), 
and for project rental assistance, and amendments to contracts for 
project rental assistance, for supportive housing for the elderly under 
section 202(c)(2) of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended. In accordance 
with the waiver authority provided in the Act, the Secretary is 
extending the determinations made in the Notice published in 61 F.R. 
3047 to Fiscal Year 1996 funding by waiving the following statutory and 
regulatory provision: The term of the project rental assistance 
contract is reduced from 20 years to a minimum term of 5 years and a 
maximum term which can be supported by funds authorized by the Act. The 
Department anticipates that at the end of the contract terms, renewals 
will be approved subject to the availability of funds. In addition to 
this provision, the Department will reserve project rental assistance 
contract funds based on 75 percent rather than on 100 percent of the 
current operating cost standards for approved units in order to take 
into account the average tenant contribution toward rent.

    Please note that the waiver broadening the eligibility of 
tenants to persons with incomes at 80 percent of the median or below 
(61 FR 3047, January 30, 1996) is not being extended to the projects 
funded in accordance with this NOFA. The statutory provision 
limiting eligibility to persons with incomes at 50 percent of the 
median or below remains in effect.

    In accordance with an agreement between HUD and the Rural Housing 
Service (RHS), which facilitates the coordination between the two 
agencies in administering their respective rental assistance programs, 
HUD is required to notify RHS of applications for housing assistance it 
receives. This notification gives RHS the opportunity to comment if it 
has concerns about the demand for additional assisted housing and 
possible harm to existing projects in the same housing market area. HUD 
will consider the RHS comments in its review and project selection 
process.

B. Allocation Amounts

    In accordance with 24 CFR part 791, the Assistant Secretary will 
allocate the amounts available for capital advances for supportive 
housing for the elderly. HUD reserves project rental assistance funds 
based upon 75 percent of the current operating cost standards to 
support the units selected for capital advances sufficient for minimum 
5-year project rental assistance contracts.
    The allocation formula for Section 202 funds consists of a measure 
of the number of one- and two-person elderly renter households with 
incomes at or below the very low income limit (50

[[Page 35867]]

percent of area median family income, as determined by HUD, with an 
adjustment for household size) that have housing deficiencies.
    Based on the allocation formula, HUD has allocated the available 
capital advance funds as shown on the following chart:

C. Eligibility

    Private, nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer 
cooperatives are the only eligible applicants under this program. 
Neither a public body nor an instrumentality of a public body is 
eligible to participate in the program. No organization shall 
participate as Sponsor or Co-sponsor in the filing of application(s) 
for a capital advance in a single geographical region in this fiscal 
year in excess of that necessary to finance the construction, 
rehabilitation, or acquisition (acquisition permitted only with RTC/
FDIC properties) of 200 units of housing and related facilities for the 
elderly. This limit shall apply to organizations that participate as 
Co-sponsors regardless of whether the Co-sponsors are affiliated or 
nonaffiliated entities. In addition, the national limit for any one 
applicant is 10 percent of the total units allocated in all HUD 
Offices. Affiliated entities that submit separate applications shall be 
deemed to be a single entity for the purposes of these limits. No 
single application may propose more than the number of units allocated 
to a HUD Office or 125 units, whichever is less. Reservations for 
projects will not be approved for less than 5 units.

D. Initial Screening, Technical Processing, and Selection Criteria

1. Initial Screening
    HUD will review applications for Section 202 capital advances that 
are received by HUD at the appropriate address by 4:00 p.m. local time 
on August 19, 1996, to determine if all parts of the application are 
included. HUD will not review the content of the application as part of 
initial screening. HUD will send deficiency letters, by certified mail 
and facsimile, informing Sponsors of any missing parts of the 
application. Sponsors must correct such deficiencies within 8 calendar 
days from the date of the deficiency letter. Any document requested as 
a result of the initial screening may be executed or prepared within 
the deficiency period, except for Forms HUD-92015-CAs, Articles of 
Incorporation, IRS exemption rulings, Forms SF-424, Board Resolution 
committing the minimum capital investment, and site control documents 
(all of these excepted items must be dated no later than the 
application deadline date).
2. Technical Processing
    All applications will be placed in technical processing upon 
receipt of the response to the deficiency letter or at the end of the 
8-day period. These applications will undergo a complete analysis. If a 
reviewer finds that clarification is needed to complete the review, or 
an exhibit is missing that was not requested after initial screening, 
the reviewer shall immediately advise the Multifamily Housing 
Representative, who will: (a) request, by telephone, that the Sponsor 
submit the information within five (5) working days; and (b) follow up 
by certified letter. Communications must be attached to the technical 
review and findings memorandum. As part of this analysis, HUD will 
conduct its environmental review in accordance with 24 CFR part 50.
    Examples of reasons for technical processing rejection include an 
ineligible Sponsor, ineligible population to be served, lack of legal 
capacity, lack of site control, and unacceptable site based upon a site 
visit. The Secretary will not reject an application based on technical 
processing without giving notice of that rejection with all rejection 
reasons, and affording the applicant an opportunity to appeal. HUD will 
afford an applicant 10 calendar days from the date of HUD's written 
notice to appeal a technical rejection to the HUD Office. The HUD 
Office must respond within five working days to the Sponsor. The HUD 
Office shall make a determination on an appeal prior to making its 
selection recommendations. All applications will be either rated or

[[Page 35869]]

technically rejected at the end of technical processing.
    Technical processing will also assure that the Sponsor has complied 
with the requirements in the civil rights certification in the 
Application Package. There must not have been an adjudication of a 
civil rights violation in a civil action brought against the Sponsor by 
a private individual, unless the Sponsor is operating in compliance 
with a court order, or implementing a HUD-approved compliance agreement 
designed to correct the areas of noncompliance. There must be no 
pending civil rights suits against the Sponsor instituted by the 
Department of Justice, and no pending administrative actions for civil 
rights violations instituted by HUD (including a charge of 
discrimination under the Fair Housing Act). There must be no 
outstanding findings of noncompliance with civil rights statutes, 
Executive Orders, or regulations, as a result of formal administrative 
proceedings, nor any charges issued by the Secretary against the 
Sponsor under the Fair Housing Act, unless the Sponsor is operating 
under a conciliation or compliance agreement designed to correct the 
areas of noncompliance. Moreover, there must not be a deferral of the 
processing of applications from the Sponsor imposed by HUD under Title 
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, HUD's implementing regulations (24 
CFR 1.8), procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1), and the Attorney General's 
Guidelines (28 CFR 50.3); or under section 504 of the Rehabilitation 
Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations (24 CFR 8.57), and the 
Americans with Disabilities Act.
    Upon completion of technical processing, all acceptable 
applications will be rated according to the selection criteria in 
section I.D.3. of this NOFA. Applications, submitted in response to the 
advertised metropolitan allocations and nonmetropolitan allocations, 
which have a total score of 60 points or more will be eligible for 
selection and will be placed in rank order per metropolitan/
nonmetropolitan allocation. These applications will be selected based 
on rank order, to and including the last application that can be funded 
out of each of the local HUD Office's metropolitan/nonmetropolitan 
allocations. HUD Offices shall not skip over any applications in order 
to select one based on the funds remaining. However, after making the 
initial selections in each allocation area, any residual funds may be 
utilized to fund the next rank-ordered application by reducing the 
units by no more than 10 percent rounded to the nearest whole number; 
provided the reduction will not render the project infeasible. Projects 
of nine units or less may not be reduced.
    Once this process has been completed, HUD Offices may combine their 
unused metropolitan and nonmetropolitan funds in order to select 
another application in either category, using the unit reduction policy 
described above, if necessary.
    Funds remaining after these processes are completed will be 
returned to Headquarters. These funds will be used first to restore 
units to projects reduced by HUD Offices as a result of the 
instructions above and, second, for selecting applications on a 
national rank order. However, no more than one application will be 
selected per HUD Office from the national residual amount unless there 
are insufficient approvable applications in other HUD Offices. If funds 
still remain, additional applications will be selected based on a 
national rank order, insuring an equitable distribution among HUD 
Offices.
3. Selection Criteria
    Applications for Section 202 capital advances that successfully 
complete technical processing will be rated using the following 
selection criteria:
    (a) The Sponsor's ability to develop and operate the proposed 
housing on a long-term basis, considering the following (60 points 
maximum--55 base points plus 5 bonus points):
    (1) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in 
providing housing or related services to those proposed to be served by 
the project, and the scope of the proposed project (i.e., number of 
units, services, relocation costs, development, and operation) in 
relationship to the Sponsor's demonstrated development and management 
capacity. (30 points);
    (2) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in 
providing housing or related services to minority persons or families 
(13 points);
    (3) The extent of local community support for the project and for 
the Sponsor's activities, including previous experience in serving the 
area where the project is to be located, and Sponsor's demonstrated 
ability to enlist volunteers and raise local funds (12 points); and
    (4) The Sponsor's involvement of elderly persons, including 
minority elderly persons, in the development of the application and its 
intent to involve elderly persons, including minority elderly persons, 
in the development of the project (5 bonus points);

be served and the suitability of the site, considering the following 
(30 points maximum--25 base points plus 5 bonus points):
    (1) The extent of the need for the project in the area based on a 
determination by the HUD Office. HUD will make this determination by 
considering the Sponsor's evidence of need in the area based on the 
guidelines in the Application Package, as well as other economic, 
demographic, and housing market data available to the HUD Office. The 
data could include the availability of existing Federally assisted 
housing (HUD and RHS) (e.g., considering availability and vacancy rates 
of public housing) for the elderly and current occupancy in such 
facilities, Federally assisted housing for the elderly under 
construction or for which fund reservations have been issued, and in 
accordance with an agreement between HUD and the RHS, comments from the 
RHS on the demand for additional assisted housing and the possible harm 
to existing projects in the same housing market area (8 points).
    (2) The proximity or accessibility of the site to shopping, medical 
facilities, transportation, places of worship, recreational facilities, 
places of employment, and other necessary services to the intended 
occupants; adequacy of utilities and streets; freedom of the site from 
adverse environmental conditions; compliance with site and neighborhood 
standards (10 points); and
    (3) Suitability of the site from the standpoint of promoting a 
greater choice of housing opportunities for minority elderly persons/
families (7 points).
    (4) The project will be located within the boundaries of a Place 
Based Community Revitalization Area defined as a federally-designated 
Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental Empowerment Zone, Enterprise 
Community, Urban Enhanced Enterprise Community, or a HUD-approved CDBG 
neighborhood revitalization strategy area (5 bonus points).
    (c) Adequacy of the provision of supportive services and of the 
proposed facility, considering the following (20 points maximum):
    (1) The extent to which the proposed design will meet the special 
physical needs of elderly persons (3 points);
    (2) The extent to which the proposed size and unit mix of the 
housing will enable the Sponsor to manage and operate the housing 
efficiently and ensure that the provision of supportive services will 
be accomplished in an economical fashion (4 points);
    (3) The extent to which the proposed design of the housing will 
accommodate the provision of supportive services that

[[Page 35870]]

are expected to be needed, initially and over the useful life of the 
housing, by the category or categories of elderly persons the housing 
is intended to serve (3 points);
    (4) The extent to which the proposed supportive services meet the 
identified needs of the residents (5 points); and
    (5) The extent to which the Sponsor demonstrated that the 
identified supportive services will be provided on a consistent, long-
term basis (5 points).
    For the selection criterion in b.(4) above, the Secretary's 
Representative, or the Secretary's Representative in consultation with 
the State/Area Coordinator, may assign the 5 bonus points to an 
application if the site for the proposed project is approvable, is 
located within the boundaries of a Place Based Community Revitalization 
Area, as defined above, and the locally developed strategy for the area 
involves items such as physical improvements, necessary public 
facilities and services, private investment and citizen self-help 
activities.
    The maximum number of points an application can earn without bonus 
points is 100. An application can earn an additional 10 bonus points 
for a maximum total of 110 points.

II. Application Process

    All applications for Section 202 capital advances submitted by 
eligible Sponsors must be filed with the appropriate HUD Office 
receiving an allocation and must meet the requirements of this NOFA. No 
application will be accepted after 4:00 p.m. local time on August 19, 
1996, unless that date and time is extended by a Notice published in 
the Federal Register. Applications received after that date and time 
will not be accepted, even if postmarked by the deadline date. 
Applications submitted by facsimile are not acceptable.
    Immediately upon publication of this NOFA, if names have not 
already been provided to the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse, HUD 
Offices shall notify elderly and minority media, all persons and 
organizations on their mailing lists, minority and other organizations 
within their jurisdiction involved in housing and community 
development, and groups with special interest in housing for elderly 
households.
    Organizations interested in applying for a section 202 capital 
advance should contact the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse at 1-800-
685-8470 (the TTY number is 1-800-483-2209) for a copy of the 
application package, and advise the HUD Office whether they wish to 
attend the workshop described below. HUD encourages minority 
organizations to participate in this program as Sponsors. HUD Offices 
will advise all organizations on their mailing list of the date, time, 
and place of workshops at which HUD will explain the Section 202 
program.
    HUD strongly recommends that prospective applicants attend the 
local HUD Office workshop. Interested persons with disabilities should 
contact the HUD Office to assure that any necessary arrangements can be 
made to enable their attendance and participation in the workshop. 
While strongly urged to do so, if Sponsors cannot attend a workshop, 
they can obtain Application Packages from the Multifamily Housing 
Clearinghouse (see address and telephone number in the ``Application 
Package'' section of this NOFA, above). Contact the appropriate HUD 
Office with any questions regarding the submission of applications.
    At the workshops, HUD will explain application procedures and 
requirements. HUD will also address concerns such as local market 
conditions, building codes, historic preservation, floodplain 
management, displacement and relocation, zoning, and housing costs.

III. Application Submission Requirements

A. Application

    Each application shall include all of the information, materials, 
forms, and exhibits listed in section III.B., below (with the exception 
of applications submitted by Sponsors selected for a Section 202 fund 
reservation within the last three funding cycles), and must be indexed 
and tabbed. Such previously selected Section 202 Sponsors are not 
required to submit the information described in B.2.(a), (b), and (c), 
below (Exhibits 2.a., b., and c. of the application), which are the 
articles of incorporation, (or other organizational documents), by-
laws, and the IRS tax exemption, respectively. If there has been a 
change in any of the eligibility documents since its previous HUD 
approval, the Sponsor must submit the updated information in its 
application. The local HUD Office will base its determination of the 
eligibility of a new Sponsor for a reservation of Section 202 capital 
advance funds on the information provided in the application. HUD 
Offices will verify a Sponsor's indication of previous HUD approval by 
checking the project number and approval status with the appropriate 
HUD Office.
    In addition to this relief of paperwork burden in preparing 
applications, applicants will be able to use information and exhibits 
previously prepared for prior applications under Section 202, Section 
811, or other funding programs. Examples of exhibits that may be 
readily adapted or amended to decrease the burden of application 
preparation include, among others, those on previous participation in 
the Section 202 or Section 811 programs, applicant experience in 
provision of housing and services, supportive services plan, community 
ties, and experience serving minorities.

B. General Application Requirements

    1. Form HUD-92015-CA, Application for Section 202 Supportive 
Housing Capital Advance.
    2. Evidence of each Sponsor's legal status as a private, nonprofit 
organization or nonprofit consumer cooperative, including the 
following:
    (a) Articles of Incorporation, constitution, or other 
organizational documents;
    (b) By-laws;
    (c) IRS tax exemption ruling (this must be submitted by all 
Sponsors, including churches). A consumer cooperative that is tax 
exempt under State law, has never been liable for payment of Federal 
income taxes, and does not pay patronage dividends may be exempt from 
the requirement set out in the previous sentence if it is not eligible 
for tax exemption.

    Note: Sponsors who have received a section 202 fund reservation 
within the last three funding cycles are not required to submit the 
documents described in (a), (b), and (c), above. Instead, sponsors 
must submit the project number of the latest application and the HUD 
office to which it was submitted. If there have been any 
modifications or additions to the subject documents, indicate such, 
and submit the new material.

    (d) Resolution of the board, duly certified by an officer, that no 
officer or director of the Sponsor or Owner has or will have any 
financial interest in any contract with the Owner or in any firm or 
corporation that has or will have a contract with the Owner and that 
includes a current listing of all duly qualified and sitting officers 
and directors by title, and the beginning and ending dates of each 
person's term.
    3. Sponsor's purpose, community ties, and experience, including the 
following:
    (a) A description of Sponsor's purposes and activities, ties to the 
community, and minority support, and how long the Sponsor has been in 
existence (include any additional related information);
    (b) A description of Sponsor's housing and/or supportive services 
experience.

[[Page 35871]]

The description should include any rental housing projects and/or 
medical facilities, sponsored, owned, and operated by the Sponsor, the 
Sponsor's past or current involvement in any programs other than 
housing that demonstrates the Sponsor's management capabilities and 
experience, and the Sponsor's experience in serving the elderly and/or 
families and minorities;
    (c) A description of Sponsor's participation in joint ventures and 
experience in contracting with minority-owned businesses, women-owned 
businesses, and small businesses over the last three years, including a 
description of the joint venture, partners and the Sponsor's 
involvement and a summary of the total contract amounts awarded in each 
of the three categories for the preceding three years, and the 
percentage that amount represents of all contracts awarded by the 
Sponsor in the relevant time period;
    (d) A certified Board Resolution, acknowledging responsibilities of 
sponsorship, long-term support of the project(s), willingness of 
Sponsor to assist the Owner to develop, own, manage, and provide 
appropriate services in connection with the proposed project, and that 
it reflects the will of its membership. Also, evidence, in the form of 
a certified Board Resolution, of the Sponsor's willingness to fund the 
estimated start-up expenses, the Minimum Capital Investment (one-half 
of one percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to exceed 
$10,000, if nonaffiliated with a National Sponsor; one-half of one 
percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to exceed $25,000, for 
all other Sponsors;), and the estimated cost of any amenities or 
features (and operating costs related thereto) that would not be 
covered by the approved capital advance.
    (e) Description, if applicable, of the Sponsor's efforts to involve 
elderly persons, including minority elderly persons, in the development 
of the application, as well as its intent to involve elderly persons in 
the development of the project.
    4. Project information, including the following:
    (a) Evidence of need for supportive housing. Such evidence would 
include a description of the category or categories of elderly persons 
the housing is intended to serve and evidence demonstrating sustained 
effective demand for supportive housing for that population in the 
market area to be served, taking into consideration the occupancy and 
vacancy conditions in existing Federally assisted housing for the 
elderly (HUD and RHS; e.g., public housing); State or local data on the 
limitations in activities of daily living among the elderly in the 
area; aging in place in existing assisted rentals; trends in 
demographic changes in elderly population and households; the numbers 
of income eligible elderly households by size, tenure, and housing 
condition, the types of supportive services arrangements currently 
available in the area and the use of such services as evidenced by data 
from local social service agencies or agencies on aging.
    (b) Description of the project, including the following:
    (1) Narrative description of the building design, including a 
description of any special design features and community space, and how 
this design will facilitate the delivery of services in an economical 
fashion and accommodate the changing needs of the residents over the 
next 10-20 years.
    (2) Describe whether and how the project will promote energy 
efficiency, and, if applicable, innovative construction or 
rehabilitation methods or technologies to be used that will promote 
efficient construction.
    (c) Evidence of site control and permissive zoning.
    (1) Evidence that the Sponsor has entered into a legally binding 
option agreement (which extends through the end of the current fiscal 
year and contains a renewal provision so that the option can be renewed 
for at least an additional six months) to buy or lease the proposed 
site; or has a copy of the contract of sale for the site, a deed, long-
term leasehold, a request with all supporting documentation, submitted 
either prior to or with the Application for Capital Advance, for a 
partial release of a site covered by a mortgage under a HUD program, or 
other evidence of legal ownership of the site (including properties to 
be acquired from the RTC/FDIC). The Sponsor must also identify any 
restrictive covenants, including reverter clauses. In the case of a 
site to be acquired from a public body, evidence that the public body 
possesses clear title to the site, and has entered into a legally 
binding agreement to lease or convey the site to the Sponsor after it 
receives and accepts a notice of Section 202 capital advance and 
identification of any restrictive covenants, including reverter 
clauses. However, in localities where HUD determines the time 
constraints of the funding round will not permit all of the required 
official actions (e.g., approval of Community Planning Boards) that are 
necessary to convey publicly-owned sites, a letter in the application 
from the mayor or director of the appropriate local agency indicating 
approval of conveyance of the site contingent upon the necessary 
approval action is acceptable and may be approved by the HUD Office if 
it has satisfactory experience with timely conveyance of sites from 
that public body. In such cases, documentation shall also include a 
copy of the public body's evidence of ownership and identification of 
any restrictive covenants, including reverter clauses.

    Note: A proposed project site may not be acquired or optioned 
from a general contractor (or its affiliate) that will construct the 
section 202 project or from any other development team member.

    (2) Evidence that the project as proposed is permissible under 
applicable zoning ordinances or regulations, or a statement of the 
proposed action required to make the proposed project permissible and 
the basis for belief that the proposed action will be completed 
successfully before the submission of the commitment application (e.g., 
a summary of the results of any requests for rezoning on land in 
similar zoning classifications and the time required for such rezoning, 
preliminary indications of acceptability from zoning bodies, etc.).
    (3) Narrative description of site and area surrounding the site, 
characteristics of neighborhood, how the site will promote greater 
housing opportunities for minorities, and any other information that 
affects the suitability of the site for the elderly.
    (4) A map showing the location of the site and the racial 
composition of the neighborhood, with the area of racial concentration 
delineated.
    (5) A Transaction Screen Process, in accordance with the American 
Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) Standards E 1528-93 and E 1527-
93, as amended. If the completion of the Transaction Screen 
Questionnaire results in either a ``yes'' or ``unknown'' response, 
further study is required, and the Sponsor must complete a Phase I 
Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with the ASTM and submit it 
with the application. Sponsors may choose to automatically complete a 
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in lieu of completing the 
Transaction Screen Questionnaire. If the Phase I study indicates the 
possible presence of contamination and/or hazards, further study must 
be undertaken. At this point, the Sponsor must decide whether to 
continue with this site or choose another site. Should the Sponsor 
choose another site, the same environmental site assessment procedure 
identified above must be followed for that site.

[[Page 35872]]

Since all Transaction Screen processes and Phase I studies must be 
completed and submitted with the application, it is important that the 
Sponsor start the site assessment process as soon after the publication 
of this NOFA as possible.
    If the Sponsor chooses to continue with the original site, then it 
must undertake a detailed Phase II Environmental Site Assessment by an 
appropriate professional.

    Note: This could be an expensive undertaking. The cost of the 
study will be borne by the sponsor if the application is not 
selected.

    If the Phase II Assessment reveals site contamination, the extent 
of the contamination, and a plan for clean-up of the site must be 
submitted to the local HUD Office. The plan for clean-up must include a 
contract for remediation of the problem(s) and an approval letter from 
the applicable Federal, State, and/or local agency with jurisdiction 
over the site. In order for the application to be considered for review 
under this FY 1996 funding, this information would have to be submitted 
to the local HUD Office no later than 30 days after the application 
deadline date.

    Note: For properties to be acquired from the RTC/FDIC, include a 
copy of the RTC/FDIC prepared Transaction Screen Checklist or Phase 
I Environmental Site Assessment, and applicable documentation, per 
the RTC/FDIC Environmental Guidelines.

    (6) If applicable, identify whether the site for the proposed 
project is located within the boundaries of a Place Based Community 
Revitalization Area, as defined above. If the site is in a Place Based 
Community Revitalization Area, briefly summarize the locally developed 
strategy for the area involving items such as physical improvements, 
necessary public facilities and services, private investment and 
citizen self-help activities.
    (d) Provision of supportive services and proposed facility.
    (1) A detailed description of the supportive services proposed to 
be provided to the anticipated occupancy.
    (2) Form HUD 92013E, Supplemental Application Processing Form--
Housing for the Elderly. Identify all supportive services, if any, to 
be provided to the persons occupying such housing.
    (3) A description of public or private sources of assistance that 
reasonably could be expected to fund the proposed services.
    (4) The manner in which such services will be provided to such 
persons (i.e., on or off-site), including whether a service coordinator 
will facilitate the adequate provision of such services, and how the 
services will meet the identified needs of the residents.
    5. A list of the applications, if any, the Sponsor has submitted or 
is planning to submit to any other HUD Office in response to this NOFA 
or the NOFA for Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities 
(published elsewhere in today's Federal Register). Indicate by HUD 
Office, the proposed location by city and State, and the number of 
units requested for each application. Include a list of all FY 1995 and 
prior year projects to which the Sponsor(s) is a party, identified by 
project number and HUD Office, which have not been finally closed.
    6. HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report, 
including Social Security Numbers and Employee Identification Numbers.
    7. E.O. 12372. A certification that the Sponsor has submitted a 
copy of its applications, if required, to the State agency (single 
point of contact) for State review in accordance with Executive Order 
12372.
    8. A statement that (a) identifies all persons (families, 
individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations), identified by 
race/minority group, and status as owners or tenants, occupying the 
property on the date of submission of the application for a capital 
advance; (b) indicates the estimated cost of relocation payments and 
other services; and (c) identifies the staff organization that will 
carry out the relocation activities.

    Note: If any of the relocation costs will be funded from sources 
other than the section 202 capital advance, the sponsor must provide 
evidence of a firm commitment of these funds. When evaluating 
applications, HUD will consider the total cost of proposals (i.e., 
cost of site acquisition, relocation, construction and other project 
costs).

    9. SF-424. A certification on SF-424, Application for Federal 
Assistance, that the Sponsor(s) is not delinquent on the repayment of 
any Federal debt.
    10. 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. 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 SF LLL, 
Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. The applicant determines if the 
submission of the SF LLL form is applicable.
    11. Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (Plan) 
for the jurisdiction in which the proposed project will be located must 
be submitted by the Sponsor. The certification must be made by the unit 
of general local government if it is required to have, or has, a 
complete Plan. Otherwise the certification may be made by the State, or 
if the project will be located in a unit of general local government 
authorized to use an abbreviated strategy, by the unit of general local 
government if it is willing to prepare such a Plan.
    All certifications must be made by the public official responsible 
for submitting the Plan to HUD. The certifications must be submitted as 
part of the application by the application submission deadline set 
forth in this NOFA. The Plan regulations are published in 24 CFR part 
91.
    12. Sponsor Certifications. (a) A certification of the Sponsor(s)' 
intent to comply with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 
U.S.C. 794) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 8; the Fair 
Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3600-3619) and the implementing regulations at 
24 CFR part 100, 108, 109, and 110; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 
1; section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 
U.S.C. 1701u) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 135; the 
Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-6107) and the 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 146; Executive Order 11246 (as 
amended) and the implementing regulations at 41 CFR Chapter 60; the 
regulations implementing Executive Order 11063 (Equal Opportunity in 
Housing) at 24 CFR part 107; the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 
U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) to the extent applicable; the affirmative fair 
housing marketing requirements of 24 CFR part 200, subpart M and the 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 108; and other applicable 
Federal, State, and local laws prohibiting discrimination and promoting 
equal opportunity.
    (b) A certification that the Sponsor(s) will comply with the 
requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
    (c) A certification that the project will comply with HUD's project 
design and cost standards; the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards 
and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 40; Section 504 of 
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 
CFR part 8; and for covered multifamily dwellings designed and 
constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, the design and 
construction requirements of the Fair Housing Act and HUD's 
implementing

[[Page 35873]]

regulations at 24 CFR part 100; and the Americans with Disabilities Act 
of 1990.
    (d) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will comply (or has 
complied) with the acquisition and relocation requirements of the 
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies 
Act of 1970, as amended (URA), implemented by regulations at 49 CFR 
part 24, and 24 CFR 891.155(e).
    (e) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will form an Owner 
(as defined in 24 CFR 891.305) after the issuance of the capital 
advance, will cause the Owner to file a request for determination of 
eligibility and a request for capital advance, and will provide 
sufficient resources to the Owner to insure the development and long-
term operation of the project, including capitalizing the Owner at 
conditional commitment processing in an amount sufficient to meet its 
obligations in connection with the project.

IV. Development Cost Limits

    (a) The following development cost limits, adjusted by locality as 
described in (b) below, shall be used to determine the capital advance 
amount to be reserved for projects for the elderly:
    (1) The total development cost of the property or project 
attributable to dwelling use (less the incremental development cost and 
the capitalized operating costs associated with any excess amenities 
and design features to be paid for by the Sponsor) may not exceed:

Non-elevator structures:
    $28,032 per family unit without a bedroom;
    $32,321 per family unit with one bedroom;
    $38,979 per family unit with two bedrooms;
For elevator structures:
    $29,500 per family unit without a bedroom;
    $33,816 per family unit with one bedroom;
    $41,120 per family unit with two bedrooms;

    (2) These cost limits reflect those costs reasonable and necessary 
to develop a project of modest design that complies with HUD minimum 
property standards; the accessibility requirements of Sec. 891.120(b); 
and the project design and cost standards of Sec. 891.120.
    (b) Increased development cost limits.
    (1) HUD may increase the development cost limits set forth in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section by up to 140 percent in any geographic 
area where the cost levels require, and may increase the development 
cost limits by up to 160 percent on a project-by-project basis.
    (2) If HUD finds that high construction costs in Alaska, Guam, 
Virgin Islands or Hawaii make it infeasible to construct dwellings, 
without the sacrifice of sound standards of construction, design, and 
livability, within the development cost limits provided in this 
paragraph (a), the amount of the capital advances may be increased to 
compensate for such costs. The increase may not exceed the limits 
established under this section (including any high cost area 
adjustment) by more than 50 percent.

V. Other Matters

A. Environmental Impact

    A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
has been made in accordance with HUD regulations 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 during business hours in the Office of the Rules Docket 
Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410. This 
NOFA only solicits applications for supportive housing for the elderly.

B. Federalism Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that this NOFA 
does not have substantial direct effects on States or their political 
subdivisions, or on the relationship between the Federal government and 
the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among 
the various levels of government. This NOFA merely notifies the public 
of the availability of capital advances and project rental assistance 
for supportive housing for the elderly.

C. Family Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that this NOFA does not have 
the potential for significant impact on family formation, maintenance, 
or general well-being. This NOFA may have a positive though indirect 
effect on families, to the extent that families will benefit from the 
provision of supportive housing for elderly persons. Since any effect 
on families is beneficial, this NOFA is not subject to review under the 
Order.

D. 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). This 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 in 
the Federal Register (57 FR 1942) additional information that gave the 
public (including applicants for, and recipients of, HUD assistance) 
further information on the implementation, public access, and 
disclosure requirements of section 102. The documentation, public 
access, and disclosure requirements of section 102 are applicable to 
assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
1. 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 requirements.)
2. 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

[[Page 35874]]

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.)

E. Prohibition Against Advance Information on Funding Decisions.

    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 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 (TTY/Voice). (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 the appropriate 
Field Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which 
the question pertains.

F. 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 the 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.

G. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program title and number 
is 14.157, Housing for the Elderly or Handicapped.
