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.
