II. Amount Allocated

    This NOFA makes available up to $5,000,000 in FY 1999 funding from 
the $55,000,000 earmark in the Community Development Block Grants Fund 
account and is from the amount appropriated for public and assisted 
housing self-sufficiency programs, Departments of Veterans Affairs and 
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998).
    Alternative Funding for Service Coordinators. When this funding is 
exhausted, owners may request processing under Housing's Management 
Agent Handbook 4381.5, REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, 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.

III. Program Description; Eligible and Ineligible Applicants, 
Developments, and Activities

    (A) Program Description. The Service Coordinator Program provides 
funding for the employment and support of service coordinators in 
insured and assisted housing developments that are designed for the 
elderly and persons with disabilities and continue to operate as such. 
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 or management company. 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 specific supportive 
services they need to continue living independently in that 
development. The service coordinator, however, may not require any 
elderly individual or person with a disability to accept the supportive 
services.
    You may want to review the Management Agent Handbook 4381.5 
REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, Chapter 8 for further guidance on service 
coordinators.
    This Handbook and past Service Coordinator program Notices are 
accessible through HUDCLIPS on HUD's web site. The URL for the HUDCLIPS

    Changes to This Year's Program.

--There is no minimum unit number for eligible developments. In 
proposing a Service Coordinator program at a small development, 
however, you must be careful to conform to the hiring guidelines 
provided in the application kit.
--Funding is allowed to augment current Service Coordinator programs 
and to continue programs in cases where current or previous funding 
sources are no longer available. Please refer to Section III.D and 
III.F, below.

(B) Eligible Applicants

    (1) Only owners of eligible developments listed in paragraph D.1 
below may apply for funding through this NOFA.
    (2) To be eligible, owners must meet the criteria listed below for 
all HUD insured and assisted developments they own:
    (a) Have no outstanding contract violations of a contractual or 
regulatory nature.
    (b) You, the applicant must comply with all fair housing and civil 
rights laws, statutes, regulations, and executive orders as enumerated 
in 24 CFR 5.105(a). If you, the applicant (a) have been charged with a 
systemic violation of the Fair Housing Act by the Secretary alleging 
ongoing discrimination; (b) are the defendant in a Fair Housing Act 
lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice alleging an ongoing pattern 
or practice of discrimination; or (c) have received a letter of 
noncompliance findings under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 
section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or section 109 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, your application will 
not be evaluated under this NOFA if, prior to the application deadline, 
the charge, lawsuit, or letter of findings has not been resolved to the 
satisfaction of the Department. HUD's decision regarding whether a 
charge, lawsuit, or a letter of findings has been satisfactorily 
resolved will be based upon whether appropriate actions have been taken 
necessary to address allegations of ongoing discrimination in the 
policies or practices involved in the charge, lawsuit, or letter of 
findings.
    (3) If your eligibility status changes during the course of the 
grant term, making you ineligible to receive a grant (e.g. due to 
prepayment of mortgage, sale of property, or opting out of a Section 8 
Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract), HUD has the right to 
terminate your grant.

(C) Ineligible Applicants

    Property management companies, area agencies on aging, and other 
like organizations are not eligible applicants for Service Coordinator 
funds. Such agents may prepare applications and sign application 
documents if they provide written authorization from the owner 
corporation as part of the application. In such cases, the owner 
corporation must be indicated on all forms and documents as the funding 
recipient.

(D) Eligible Developments

    (1) Are Section 202 and 202/8, existing Section 8 project-based and 
moderate rehabilitation developments (including Rural Housing Service

and 236 developments that are insured or assisted.
    (2) 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.
    (3) Are designed for the elderly or persons with disabilities and 
are continuing to operate as such. This includes any building within a 
mixed-use development that was designed for occupancy by elderly 
persons or persons with disabilities at its inception and continues to 
operate as such, or consistent with title VI, subtitle D of the Housing 
and Community Development Act of 1992. If not so designed, 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.
    (4) Are finally closed.
    (5) Are current in mortgage payments or are current under a workout 
agreement.
    (6) Meet HUD's Uniform Physical Conditions Standards (as published 
in the September 1, 1998 Federal Register), based on the most recent 
physical inspection report and responses thereto.
    (7) Are in compliance with their regulatory agreement, HAP 
Contract, and other outstanding directives.
    (8) Section 202 developments must have a residual receipts account 
separate from the Repair and Replacement account, or agree to establish 
this account. This requirement does not apply to Sections 8, 221(d)(3) 
below-market interest rate, or 236 developments.
    (9) Owners using the AAF rent increase process or who are profit-
motivated must provide certification that rental and other income from 
the development are insufficient to pay for a service coordinator.

(E) Ineligible Developments

    (1) Developments not designed for the elderly or disabled or those 
no longer operating as such.
    (2) Section 221(d)(4) developments.
    (3) Section 202/811 developments with a PRAC. Owners of Section 202 
PRAC developments may obtain funding by requesting an increase in their 
PRAC payment consistent with Handbook 4381.5 REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, 
Chapter 8. There is no statutory authority for service coordinators in 
Section 811 developments.

(F) Eligible Activities

    (1) 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.
    (2) You may use funds to augment a current Service Coordinator 
program, by increasing the hours of a currently employed Service 
Coordinator, or hiring an additional Service Coordinator or aide on a 
part-or full-time basis.
    (3) You may use funds to continue a Service Coordinator program 
that has previously been funded through other sources. In your 
application, you must provide evidence that this funding source has 
already ended or will discontinue within six months following the 
application deadline date and that no other funding mechanism is 
available to continue the program. This applies only to funding sources 
other than the subsidy awards provided by the Department through 
program Notices beginning in FY 1992. HUD intends to provide one-year 
extensions to these subsidy awards through a separate funding action.
    (4) You may propose reasonable costs associated with setting up a 
confidential office space for the Service Coordinator. Such expenses 
must be one-time only administrative start-up costs. Such costs may 
involve acquisition, leasing, rehabilitation, or conversion of space. 
HUD Field Office staff must approve both the proposed costs and 
activity and must perform an environmental

[[Page 10914]]

assessment on such proposed work prior to grant award.

(G) Ineligible Activities

    (1) You may not use funds available through this NOFA to replace 
currently available funding from other sources for a service 
coordinator or for some other staff person who performs service 
coordinator functions.
    (2) Owners with existing service coordinator subsidy awards may not 
apply for renewal or extension of those programs under this NOFA.
    (3) Congregate Housing Services Program (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.
    (4) The cost of application preparation is not eligible.
    (5) Grant funds cannot be used to increase a project's management 
fee.

IV. Program Requirements

    These requirements apply to all activities funded under this 
program.

(A) Administrative Costs

    Normal annual administrative expenses must not exceed 10 percent of 
your program's total annual cost, with the exception of first year 
costs, which may reasonably exceed 10 percent due to start-up expenses. 
HUD has the right to reduce the proposed costs if they appear 
unreasonable or inappropriate.

(B) Term of Funded Activities

    The grant term is three years. Grants will be renewable subject to 
the availability of funds.

(C) Subgrants and Subcontracting

    You may directly hire a Service Coordinator or you may contract 
with a qualified third party to provide this service.

(D) Environmental Requirements

    It is anticipated that activities under this program are 
categorically excluded under 24 CFR 50.19(b)(3), (4), (12), or (13). If 
grant funds will be used to cover the cost of any non-exempt 
activities, HUD will perform an environmental review to the extent 
required by 24 CFR part 50, prior to grant award.

(E) Required Certifications, Assurances, and Other Forms

    All applications for funding under the Service Coordinator Program 
must contain the following documents and information:
    (1)(a) FY 1998 applicants' letter to use FY 1998 applications (no 
other documentation required) or
    (b) Transmittal letter and request, using the designated format.
    (2) (If applicable) Lead agency letter format.
    (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.
    (5) A bank statement showing the current residual receipts or 
surplus cash balance in the development's account.
    (6) (If applicable) Evidence that prior funding sources for your 
development's Service Coordinator program are no longer available.
    (7) Service Coordinator Certifications. This includes 
certifications that you, the applicant, will comply with the 
requirements of the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age 
Discrimination Act of 1975, and that you will affirmatively further 
fair housing.
    (8)(a) 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular.
    (b) Owners applying on behalf of developments using the AAF must 
also provide certification from the auditor that the development's 
rental or other income is insufficient to pay the costs of employing a 
Service Coordinator.

    (d) Certification and Disclosure Form Regarding Lobbying Activities 
(SF-LLL); and
    (e) Applicant/Recipient Disclosure Update Report (HUD-2880).

V. Application Selection Process

(A) General

    Service Coordinator Program grant funds will not be awarded through 
a rating and ranking process. Instead, HUD will hold one national 
lottery for all approvable applications forwarded from Multifamily HUB 
or Multifamily Program Centers (a list of these offices is found in the 
Appendix to this notice).

(B) Threshold Eligibility Review

    (1) HUD Multifamily Field Office staff will review applications for 
completeness and compliance with the eligibility criteria set forth in 
Section III of this NOFA. Field Office staff will forward application 
information to Headquarters for entry into the lottery 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) The Lottery

    HUD staff will use a computer program to randomly select 
applications. HUD will fully fund as many applications as possible with 
the given amount of funds. If funds remain after fully funding as many 
applications as possible, HUD will offer to partially fund the next 
application chosen in the lottery, in order to use the entire 
allocation of funds.

VI. Application Submission Requirements

(A) FY 1998 Applicants

    If your FY 1998 application was approved by the Field Office but 
not selected in the FY 1998 lottery and you wish to apply again this 
year, you may use the same application to apply for FY 1999 funds. You 
need not submit a new application, if no components of your proposed FY 
1998 program will change. You must submit a letter to your local Field 
Office, by the application deadline date, stating that you would like 
the Field Office to approve your application for FY 1999 funding, that 
no part of your proposed program will change, and that the development 
and owner entity continue to meet all eligibility requirements. If this 
letter is not received by the deadline date, your FY 1998 application 
will not be considered for funding. The Field staff has the right to 
reject your FY 1998 application for FY 1999 funding, if recent 
circumstances cause the application to become ineligible. If you wish 
to change any component of your proposed FY 1998 program, you must 
submit a new application.

[[Page 10915]]

(B) Full Application Submission Requirements

    (1) Single Applications.
    (a) You may submit one application for one or more developments 
that your corporation owns.
    (b) You may submit more than one application to a single Field 
Office, if you wish to increase your chances of selection in the 
lottery. Each application must propose a stand-alone program and the 
development(s) must all be located in the same Field Office 
jurisdiction.
    (c) If you wish to apply on behalf of developments located in 
different Field Office jurisdictions, you must submit a separate 
application to each Field Office.
    (2) Joint Applications. You may join with one or more other 
eligible owners to share a Service Coordinator and submit a joint 
application. In the past, joint applications have been used by small 
developments who joined together to hire and share a part or full-time 
Service Coordinator.
    (3) There is no maximum grant amount. The grant amount you request 
must be consistent with the staffing guidelines provided in the 
application kit and your proposed salary must be supported by evidence 
of comparable salaries in your area.

VII. Corrections to Deficient Applications

    After the application due date, HUD may not 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.

VIII. Findings and Certifications

(A) Paperwork Reduction Act

    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.

(B) Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers

    The catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.191, Multifamily Service Coordinator Program.

(C) Executive Order 12612, Federalism

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within 
the meaning of the Order. This notice merely invites applications from 
assisted housing developments for service coordinator grants. As a 
result, the notice is not subject to review under the Order.

(D) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities

    Applicants for funding under this NOFA 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) and to the provisions of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-65; approved December 19, 1995).
    The Byrd Amendment, which is implemented in regulations at 24 CFR 
part 87, prohibits applicants for Federal contracts and grants from 
using appropriated funds to attempt to influence Federal executive or 
legislative officers or employees in connection with obtaining such 
assistance, or with its extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or 
modification. The Byrd Amendment applies to the funds that are the 
subject of this NOFA. Therefore, applicants must file a certification 
stating that they have not made and will not make any prohibited 
payments and, if any payments or agreement to make payments of 
nonappropriated funds for these purposes have been made, a form SF-LLL 
disclosing such payments must be submitted. The certification and the 
SF-LLL are included in the application.
    The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-65; approved 
December 19, 1995), which repealed section 112 of the HUD Reform Act, 
requires all persons and entities who lobby covered executive or 
legislative branch officials to register with the Secretary of the 
Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and file reports 
concerning their lobbying activities.

(E) 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 (HUD Reform Act) and the final rule codified at 24 
CFR part 4, subpart A, published on April 1, 1996 (61 FR 1448), contain 
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, at 
57 FR 1942, a notice that also provides information on the 
implementation 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.
    (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 CFR part 15.

[[Page 10916]]

(F) Section 103 of the 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 
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, such as 
whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons outside 
the Department, should contact HUD's Ethics Law Division (202) 708-3815 
(voice), (202) 708-1112 (TTY). (These are not toll-free numbers.) 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.

(G) Environmental Impact

    A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
for this rule has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 
CFR part 50, which implement section 102(2)(C) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The Finding of No Significant Impact 
is available for public inspection between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. 
weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of the General 
Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 10276, 451 
Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410.

IX. Authority

    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.
