Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP). The FHIP program section of the SuperNOFA is corrected to provide that eligible applicants under the Joint Enforcement program Component also include Qualified Fair Housing Organizations (QFHOs) and Fair Housing Organizations (FHOs) with at least one year of experience in complaint intake, testing for fair housing violations, and meritorious claims. This correction is necessary to more accurately reflect the regulatory requirement that eligible fair housing enforcement organizations have at least one year's experience in enforcement-related activities. Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program. The Lead-Based paint Hazard Control Program section is corrected to provide that State and Indian tribal governments must have submitted a Lead-based Paint Contractor Certification and Accreditation Program for EPA review and authorization at the time of application for grant funding. This correction ensures that State and Indian tribal governments have the maximum opportunity to compete for this grant program. Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program. This notice corrects the addresses for submitting applications under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program. The notice also corrects the erroneous impression that the only condition for which an option agreement or contract for sale may be terminated is if the Sponsor is not awarded a fund reservation. It is HUD's intention that the purchaser is not required to exercise the option to close on the property if there are problems such as environmental defects, the site does not pass the inspection, or the appraisal is less than the purchase price. Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program. This notice corrects the addresses for submitting applications under the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Disabilities Program (the ``Section 811 Program''). Additionally, the notice corrects an inconsistency in the Section 811 Program section regarding project size for group homes assisted under this program. This notice also clarifies that at least 51% of a Sponsor's board must consist of persons with disabilities (including persons with disabilities similar to those of the prospective residents). The notice also corrects two [[Page 22638]] typographical errors regarding necessary application exhibits. This notice also adds the HUD-Grand Rapids Office to this list of local HUD offices identified in Appendix A to the Section 811 Program section of the SuperNOFA. The notice also corrects the erroneous impression that the only condition for which an option agreement or contract for sale may be terminated is if the Sponsor is not awarded a fund reservation. It is HUD's intention that the purchaser is not required to exercise the option to close on the property if there are problems such as environmental defects, the site does not pass the inspection, or the appraisal is less than the purchase price. Accordingly, in the SuperNOFA for Housing, Community Development, and Empowerment Programs, notice document 99-4476, beginning at 64 FR 9618, in the issue of Friday, February 26, 1999, the following corrections are made: A.
