Notice of Funding Availability for Service Coordinator Funds for
Fiscal Year 1998
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing
Commissioner, and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA) for Service Coordinators
for Fiscal Year 1998.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of $13 million for the
Service Coordinator Program. This program provides funding for the
employment and support of service coordinators in public and assisted
housing developments (including conventional public housing, Rural
Housing Service (RHS) Section 515/8, Section 8 existing project-based
and moderate rehabilitation developments, Section 202 and 202/8,
221(d)(3) and 236 developments) designated for the elderly and persons
with disabilities. Service coordinators help residents obtain
supportive services from the community that are needed to enable
independent living and aging in place.
Eligible applications will be funded through separate lotteries,
one for Public Housing developments and one for assisted housing
developments. Public Housing developments with expiring Fiscal Year
(FY) 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator grants that have expended at
least 80 percent (80%) of their grant funds by the application deadline
date will be funded as an Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH)
priority prior to doing a general lottery. (One-year renewal funding
for FY 1992 Section 202 and Section 202/8 projects is currently
available under a December 5, 1997 memorandum from Albert Sullivan to
the Field Office Multifamily Housing Directors.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this notice
were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520) and have been assigned OMB control number 2577-0198. 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.
I. Authority; Purpose, Amount Allocated; and Eligibility
(A) Authority
(1) For Multifamily Assisted Housing Developments. Section 808 of
the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (Pub. L. 101-625,
approved November 28, 1990), as amended by sections 671, 674, 676, and
677 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-
550, approved October 28, 1992), provides authority for service
coordinators in multifamily assisted housing developments.
(2) For PHAs. Section 673 of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) provides that PHAs may receive additional
annual contributions for any development to cover the cost of employing
or otherwise retaining the services of a service coordinator.
[[Page 29875]]
(B) Purpose
The Service Coordinator Program provides funding for the employment
and support of service coordinators in public and assisted housing
developments designated for the elderly and persons with disabilities.
Service coordinators help residents obtain supportive services from the
community that are needed to enable independent living and aging in
place.
A service coordinator is a social service staff person hired or
contracted by the development's owner/management company or the PHA.
The coordinator is responsible for assuring that elderly residents,
especially those who are frail or at risk, and those non-elderly
residents with disabilities are linked to the supportive services they
need to continue living independently in that development. The service
coordinator, however, may not require any elderly or disabled family to
accept the supportive services.
(C) Amounts Allocated
This NOFA makes available a total of $13,000,000 in FY 1998 funding
from the $55,000,000 earmark in the Community Development Block Grants
Fund account, 110 Stat. 2887, September 26, 1997. This $13,000,000,
which will be equally allocated to programs administered by PIH and the
Office of Housing is from the amount appropriated for public and
assisted housing self-sufficiency programs. This $13,000,000 is being
made available to provide service coordinators for conventional public
housing, Section 8 existing project-based or moderate rehabilitation
developments, and 202, 202/8, 221(d)(3) and 236 developments. All
requests must be for eligible developments which are housing for the
elderly and persons with disabilities.
(1) Exhaustion of Public Housing Service Coordinator Program Funds.
When the funding for public housing developments under the Service
Coordinator Program is exhausted, PHAs may use other eligible funds
such as PIH grants (e.g., Comprehensive Grants, Economic Development
and Supportive Services (EDSS) funds, or other operational funds) to
employ a service coordinator.
(2) Exhaustion of Multifamily Assisted Housing Service Coordinator
Program Funds. When the funding for multifamily assisted housing
developments under the Service Coordinator Program is exhausted, owners
may request processing under Housing's Management Agent Handbook
4381.5, REV-2, CHG-4, Chapter 8. This Handbook provides procedures for
requesting funding for a coordinator using residual receipts, the
budget-based rent increase process, contract rents adjusted by the
Annual Adjustment Factor (AAF) or the Project Rental Assistance
Contract (PRAC). Section 8 approvals must be consistent with current
policy.
(3) Renewal of Grants. All grants funded under this NOFA are
renewable, subject to the availability of funds.
(D) Eligibility
(1) General. PHAs and owners of eligible multifamily assisted
housing developments may request Service Coordinator Program funding.
To be eligible, a development must have frail or at-risk elderly
residents and/or non-elderly residents with disabilities who together
total at least 25 percent of the building's residents (not applicable
to expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator Grants).
(2) Single applicants. A PHA or an assisted housing owner may
submit an application for one or more developments that it owns.
(3) Joint Applications.
(a) Two or more owners and/or PHAs may join together to share a
service coordinator and so submit joint applications. In the past,
joint applications have been used by small developments who joined
together to meet the minimum number of units required for eligibility.
(b) A PHA and an assisted housing owner may submit a joint
application and share a service coordinator among developments. The
application will be entered into the program lottery corresponding to
the organizational type of the designated lead applicant (i.e., if the
lead applicant is a PHA, the joint application will be entered in the
PIH lottery and all developments in that application will be funded
through PIH's allotment of funds).
(4) Public Housing Eligibility Criteria.
(a) Eligible developments must be conventional public housing,
including those with expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator
grants;
(b) An eligible development (or group of developments) having at
least 50 units. A sole or joint application with two or more
developments having at least 50 rental units together may also apply.
(Not applicable to expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator
grants.)
(c) A PHA must have a passing Public Housing Management Assessment
Program (PHMAP) score. In the case of a PHA that is designated as
``troubled,'' as a result of its PHMAP score, the PHA must provide
certification that a Contract Administrator (or equivalent organization
qualified to administer Federal grants) will be administering the
proposed Service Coordinator Program grant. (A Contract Administrator
is not needed to administer an extended FY 1995 Elderly Service
Coordinator grant.)
(d) To renew an FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator Grant, the PHA
must demonstrate that it has spent 80 percent (80%) of grant funds by
the application deadline date, and has field office approval of
satisfactory performance.
(e) By the date of execution of the grant agreement an applicant
must have secured online access to the internet as a means to
communicate with HUD on grant matters and shall have provided at least
75 percent (75%) of the required Multifamily Tenant Characteristics
System (MTCS) occupancy data to HUD.
(f) An applicant may not have unresolved, outstanding Inspector
General audit findings.
(5) Multifamily Assisted Housing Eligibility Criteria. Eligible
developments are those that meet the following criteria:
(a) Are one of the following program types: Section 202 and 202/8,
existing Section 8 project-based and moderate rehabilitation
developments (including RHS Section 515/8), and Section 221(d)(3) and
236 developments which are insured or assisted.
(b) Are designated elderly only or housing for the elderly and
persons with disabilities. This includes any building within a mixed-
use development that was designated for occupancy by elderly persons or
persons with disabilities at its inception or consistent with title VI,
subtitle D of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. If not
so designated, a development in which the owner gives preferences in
tenant selection (with HUD approval) to eligible elderly persons or
persons with disabilities, for all units in that development.
(c) Have at least 50 rental units. An eligible application with two
or more developments having at least 50 rental units together may also
apply.
(d) Be finally closed.
(e) Be current in mortgage payments or have a current workout
agreement.
(f) Are not on the list of ``troubled'' developments, consistent
with Notice H-97-50, ``Contract Non-Renewal Notice.'' Section 202 or
Section 8 developments must meet housing quality standards, based on
most recent physical inspection report and responses thereto. Section
221(d)(3) and Section 236 developments must be in good repair, based on
most recent physical inspection report and responses thereto.
[[Page 29876]]
(g) An applicant may not have unresolved, outstanding Inspector
General audit findings.
(E) Eligible Activities
Service Coordinator Program grant funds may be used to pay for the
salary, fringe benefits, and related administrative costs for employing
a service coordinator. Administrative costs may include, but are not
limited to, purchase of furniture, office equipment and supplies,
training, quality assurance, travel, and utilities.
(F) Ineligible Developments
(1) A PHA may not apply for Service Coordinator Program funding if
it has an expiring FY 1995 service coordinator grant, under which it
has spent LESS THAN 80 percent (80%) of the grant's available funds by
the application deadline date, and/or does NOT have field office
approval of satisfactory performance.
(2) A PHA may not apply for Service Coordinator Program funding for
any development that has a service coordinator funded by an EDSS grant.
(3) A PHA that has not met its obligations under the Annual
Contributions Contract (ACC) to furnish required reports. Any PHA whose
number of family reports in the MTCS has not reached 75 percent (75%)
or more of the number of occupied low-income units.
(4) An Indian Housing Authority (IHA) development is not eligible
for this program.
(5) Section 202/811 Supportive Housing Projects with PRAC
developments may not receive funds under the Service Coordinator
Program. Owners of Section 202 PRAC projects may obtain funding by
requesting an amendment to their PRAC contract, if necessary, or
approval within the existing budget.
(6) Assisted housing applicants with existing service coordinator
grants may NOT apply for renewal or extension of such grants.
(7) Assisted housing applicants may NOT have outstanding contract
violations of a contractual or regulatory nature.
(8) Any applicant must comply with all applicable statutory and
regulatory fair housing and civil rights laws as enumerated in 24 CFR
5.105(a). If the applicant has been charged with a violation of the
Fair Housing Act by the Department or the Department of Justice or if
an applicant has received a letter of noncompliance findings under
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, or Section 109 of the Housing and Community
Development Act, the applicant is not eligible to apply for funding
under this NOFA until the applicant resolves such charge or letter of
findings to the satisfaction of the Department.
(G) Ineligible Activities
(1) PHAs and assisted housing owners cannot use funds available
under this NOFA to extend or replace an expiring Service Coordinator
Program grant or contract, except as provided under Section II(C) of
this NOFA.
(2) Applicants may not use these monies to replace current funding
from other sources for a service coordinator or for some other staff
person who performs service coordinator functions.
(3) CHSP grantees may not use these funds to meet statutory program
match requirements and may not use these funds to replace current CHSP
program funds to continue the employment of a service coordinator.
(H) Grant Term
HUD will award new funds as three year grants, renewable subject to
the availability of funds. Any renewals of existing FY 1995 PIH service
coordinator grants will be for ONE year, consistent with existing
renewal policy.
II. Application Selection Process
(A) General
Service Coordinator Program grant funds will not be awarded through
a rating and ranking process. Instead, HUD will hold lotteries for all
approvable applications forwarded from appropriate Multifamily HUB or
Multifamily Program Center, or Public Housing Field Office (a list of
these offices is found in Attachment A to this notice).
(B) Threshold Eligibility Review
(1) HUD Public Housing and Multifamily Field Office staff will
review applications for completeness and compliance with the
eligibility criteria set forth in Section I of this NOFA. Field Office
staff will forward an application to Headquarters for entry into the
lotteries if the application was received by the deadline date, meets
all eligibility criteria, proposes reasonable costs for eligible
activities, and includes all technical corrections by the designated
deadline date.
(2) ``Reasonable costs'' are further discussed in the application
kit, but are generally those that are consistent with salaries and
administrative costs of similar programs in the jurisdiction of the HUD
Field Office.
(C) Set-Aside
PIH will first fund any expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service
Coordinator grants which meet the stipulations of Section I(D)(4) of
this NOFA, except as otherwise specified. All remaining PIH funds will
then go to the general PIH lottery (see Section II(D) of this NOFA,
which follows).
(D) Lotteries
HUD will hold one separate lottery for each respective group of
applicants. HUD staff will randomly select applications through these
lotteries and will continue the process until each Office's allotment
of approximately $6.5 million is exhausted.
(E) Pooling of Excess Funds
At the conclusion of the two lotteries, any remaining funds from
both the PIH and assisted housing allocations will be pooled. Pooling
these excess funds will allow HUD to determine if one or more
additional grants are possible. In order to use as many of the residual
funds as possible, HUD will conduct an additional lottery for any
unfunded applicants (i.e., from both PIH and assisted housing)
requesting a grant in an amount equal to or less than the pooled
amount.
III. Application Submission Requirements
(A) General
Each application must be submitted in one original and two copies.
Applications may not be sent by facsimile (FAX).
(B) Required Certifications, Assurances and Other Forms
All applications for funding under the Service Coordinator Program
must contain the following documents and information:
(1) Transmittal letter and request, using the designated format;
(2) Service Coordinator Certifications;
(3) Evidence of comparable salaries in local area;
(4) If quality assurance is included in the proposed budget, a
justification and explanation of how this work will be performed;

showing the current residual receipts balance in the development's
account;
(7) For multifamily assisted housing developments with AAF, a
completed form HUD-9833B;
(8) For PHAs, the PHA's PHMAP Score;
(9) For PHAs with expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator
grants,
[[Page 29877]]
evidence of grant expenditures that total at least 80 percent (80%) of
grant funds by the application deadline date;
(10) Lead agency letter format (if appropriate);
(11) For PHAs: Certification of Non-Duplication of Funding Request;
(12) Certification from an Independent Public Accountant or the
cognizant government auditor stating that the financial management
system employed by the applicant meets proscribed standards for fund
control and accountability required by the pertinent OMB Circular.
(13) Each applicant must also submit signed copies of the following
forms, assurances and certifications:
a. Standard form (SF) 424, Standard Form for Application for
Federal Assistance;
b. Standard Form (SF) 424-B, Assurances for Non-construction
Programs;
c. Drug-Free Workplace Certification (HUD-50070);
d. Certification and Disclosure Form Regarding Lobbying Activities
(SF-LLL); and
e. Applicant/Recipient Disclosure Update Report (HUD-2880).
(C) Corrections to Deficient Applications
After the application due date, HUD may not, consistent with 24 CFR
part 4, subpart B, consider unsolicited information from an applicant.
HUD may contact an applicant, however, to clarify an item in the
application or to correct technical deficiencies. Applicants should
note, however, that HUD may not seek clarification of items or
responses that improve the substantive quality of the applicant's
response to any eligibility or selection criterion. Examples of curable
technical deficiencies include failure to submit proper certifications
or failure to submit the application containing an original signature
by an authorized official. In each case HUD will notify the applicants
by facsimile or by return receipt requested. Applicants must submit
clarifications or corrections of technical deficiencies in accordance
with the information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the
date of receipt of the HUD notification. If the deficiency is not
corrected within this time period, HUD will reject the application as
incomplete.
IV. Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community
Development
HUD believes the best approach for addressing community problems is
through a community-based process that provides a comprehensive
response to identified needs. In this spirit, it may be helpful for
applicants under this NOFA to be aware of other related HUD NOFAs that
have been published or are expected to be published this fiscal year.
On March 31, 1998 (63 FR 15490), HUD published in the Federal Register
its SuperNOFA on Housing and Community Development Programs, which
covered nineteen HUD Housing and Community Development programs. The
second SuperNOFA and consolidated application process, which covered
ten of HUD's Economic Development and Empowerment Programs, was
published in the Federal Register on April 30, 1998 (63 FR 23876). The
third SuperNOFA and consolidated application process, also published in
the Federal Register on April 30, 1998 (63 FR 23988), covered six of
HUD's Targeted Housing and Homeless Assistance Programs.
In addition to the three SuperNOFAs, HUD also published on April
30, 1998 (63 FR 23958) a consolidated NOFA and application process (the
National SuperNOFA) for three national competition programs: the Fair
Housing Initiatives Program national Competition; the National Lead
Hazard Awareness Campaign; and the Housing Counseling national
Competition.
By reviewing the SuperNOFAs and other individual NOFAs that HUD may
publish with respect to their program purposes and the eligibility of
applicants and activities, applicants may be able to relate the
activities proposed for funding under this NOFA to upcoming NOFAs and
the community's Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice. Applicants and interested parties may find out more
about HUD's NOFAs through the HUD web site on the Internet.
For help in obtaining a copy of your community's Consolidated Plan,
please contact the community development office of your municipal
government.
V. Findings and Certifications
Environmental Review
This NOFA does not direct, provide for assistance or loan and
mortgage insurance for, or otherwise govern or regulate, real property
acquisition, disposition, leasing, rehabilitation, alteration,
demolition, or new construction, or establish, revise or provide for
standards for construction or construction materials, manufactured
housing, or occupancy. Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this NOFA
is categorically excluded from environmental review under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
Federalism, Executive Order 12612
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies
and procedures contained in this notice will not have substantial
direct effects on States or their political subdivisions, or the
relationship between the federal government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. This notice merely invites applications from existing PHAs
and assisted housing developments for service coordinator grants. As a
result, the notice is not subject to review under the Order.
Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities
Applicants for funding under this SuperNOFA are subject to the
provisions of section 319 of the Department of Interior and Related
Agencies Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 1991, 31 U.S.C. 1352 (the
Byrd Amendment), which prohibits 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. Applicants are
required to certify, using the certification found at Appendix A to 24
CFR part 87, that they will not, and have not, used appropriated funds
for any prohibited lobbying activities. In addition, applicants must
disclose, using Standard Form LLL, ``Disclosure of Lobbying
Activities,'' any funds, other than Federally appropriated funds, that
will be or have been used to influence Federal employees, members of
Congress, and congressional staff regarding specific grants or
contracts. Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs)
established by an Indian tribe as a result of the exercise of the
tribe's sovereign power are excluded from coverage of the Byrd
Amendment, but tribes and TDHEs established under State law are not
excluded from the statute's coverage.)
Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act; Documentation and Public Access
Requirements
Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545) (HUD Reform Act) and the
regulations codified in 24 CFR part 4, subpart A, contain a number of
provisions that are designed to ensure greater accountability and
integrity in the
[[Page 29878]]
provision of certain types of assistance administered by HUD. On
January 14, 1992 (57 FR 1942), HUD published a notice that also
provides information on the implementation of section 102. The
documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section
102 apply 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 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 in 24 CFR part 15.
(2) 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.
Publication of Recipients of HUD Funding
HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 4.7 provide that HUD will publish a
notice in the Federal Register on at least a quarterly basis to notify
the public of all decisions made by the Department to provide:
(i) Assistance subject to section 102(a) of the HUD Reform Act; or
(ii) Assistance that is provided through grants or cooperative
agreements on a discretionary (non-formula, non-demand) basis, but that
is not provided on the basis of a competition.
Section 103 HUD Reform Act
HUD's regulations implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3537a),
codified in 24 CFR part 4, apply to this funding competition. 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 the
regulations 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 Ethics Law Division at (202) 708-3815. (This is not a
toll-free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program
questions, the employee should contact the appropriate field office
counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question
pertains.
