[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 207 (Tuesday, October 27, 1998)] [Notices] [Pages 57305-57306] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-28651] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT [Docket No. FR-4340-FA-04] HOPE VI Revitalization Funding Awards for Fiscal Year 1998 AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing. ACTION: Announcement of funding awards. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this announcement notifies the public of funding award decisions made by the Department in a competition for funding Public Housing Agencies. The announcement contains the names and addresses of the agencies receiving grants and the amount of the grants. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Prescott, Acting Director, Office of Urban Revitalization, Room 4138, Office of Public Housing Investments, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 401-8812. Hearing- or speech-impaired individuals may access this number by calling the Federal Information Relay Service on 1-800-877-8339 or (202)708-9300. (With the exception of the ``800'' number, these are not toll free numbers.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HOPE VI Program was created in October 1992 as an appropriation for grants under the name ``Urban Revitalization Demonstration Program.'' Congress did not pass an authorization bill for the program, and, therefore, HUD has not issued program regulations. HOPE VI has been funded by appropriation in FY 1993-1998. Grants are governed by each Fiscal Year's Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), as published in the Federal Register, and the Grant Agreement executed between each recipient and HUD. The purpose of the program is to revitalize severely distressed or obsolete public housing developments through demolition, rehabilitation, and new construction of safe and affordable homes that blend into the surrounding neighborhood. The 1998 awards announced in this Notice were selected for funding in a competition announced in a Federal Register NOFA published on March 31, 1998 (63 FR 15490). Applications were scored and selected for funding on the basis of selection criteria contained in that NOFA. HUD awarded a total of $507 million in HOPE VI funds to 22 public housing authorities. [[Page 57306]] The FY 1998 HOPE VI Revitalization NOFA also announced the availability of $26 million, as specifically appropriated by Congress, to fund projects proposing demolition of severely distressed elderly public housing projects and the replacement, where appropriate, and revitalization of the elderly public housing as new communities for the elderly designed to meet the special needs and physical requirements of the elderly. None of the applications received for these grants met eligibility thresholds, and therefore these funds were not awarded. In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545), the Department is publishing the names and addresses of HUD-approved agencies awarded funding under the FY 1998 HOPE VI Revitalization NOFA, and the amount of funds awarded to each public housing agency. This information is provided in Appendix A to this document. Dated: October 20, 1998. Deborah Vincent, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
