DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4182-N-02]


Fiscal Year 1997 Notice of Funding Availability for Continuum of 
Care Homeless Assistance; Supportive Housing Program (SHP); Shelter 
Plus Care (S+C); Sec 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room 
OccupancyProgram for Homeless Individuals (SRO)

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA); Notice of extension of 
deadline.

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

SUMMARY: On April 8, 1997 (62 FR 17024), HUD published a notice 
announcing the availability of fiscal year (FY) 1997 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 April 8, 1997 NOFA provided for an application deadline of July 
8, 1997. This notice extends the application deadline to July 31, 1997. 
Because the FY 1997 NOFA for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance 
introduced new procedures for awarding project renewal funds, HUD 
determined that these new procedures may necessitate, in certain 
communities, additional time for re-analyzing the gaps that exist in 
continuum of care systems within the communities, and for reformulating 
plans and priorities for how best to fill those gaps. The extension of 
the application deadline to July 31, 1997 is the only change made by 
this notice to the April 8, 1997 NOFA.
    This notice also announces the OMB approval number for the 
information collection requirements contained in the April 8, 1997 
NOFA.
DEADLINE DATES: Applications Delivered. Applications are due before 
midnight on July 31, 1997.
    Before and on the deadline date, and during normal business hours 
(up to 6:00 pm) completed applications will be accepted at the Office 
of Special Needs Assistance Programs (Room 7270) in Washington at the 
address below.
    On the deadline date and after normal business hours (after 6:00 
pm), hand-carried applications will be received at the South Lobby of 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development at the address below. 
HUD will treat as ineligible for consideration delivered applications 
that are received after that deadline.
    Applications Mailed. Applications will be considered timely filed 
if postmarked before midnight on July 31, 1997, and received by HUD 
Headquarters within ten (10) days after that date.
    Applications Sent by Overnight Delivery. Overnight delivery items 
will be considered timely filed if received before or on July 31, 1997, 
or upon submission of documentary evidence that they were placed in 
transit with the overnight delivery service by no later than July 31, 
1997.
    No facsimile (FAX). Applications may not be sent by FAX.
    Copies of Applications to Field Offices. Two copies of the 
application must also be sent to the HUD Field Office serving the State 
in which the applicant's projects are located. 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 solely on receipt 
of the application at HUD Headquarters in Washington. All three copies 
may be used in reviewing the application.
