[Docket No. FR-4984-C-02]


Public Housing Graduation Incentive Bonus Program; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 2, 2005, HUD published its notice of funding 
availability (NOFA) for the Public Housing Graduation Incentive Bonus 
Program. In the NOFA, HUD inadvertently identified the Fort Worth, 
Texas, public housing authority (PHA) as an eligible medium PHA rather 
than an eligible large PHA. This notice corrects this error.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions and technical 
assistance, applicants may call the Public and Indian Housing 
Information and Resource Center at 800-955-2232. For the hearing- or 
speech-impaired, please call the Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339. 
(These are toll-free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 2, 2005 (70 FR 32470), HUD published 
its NOFA for the Public Housing Graduation Incentive Bonus Program. The 
deadline for application for this program was July 18, 2005. The 
purpose of the program is to invite PHAs to apply for a Graduation 
Incentive Bonus. The Graduation Incentive Bonus is granted to PHAs that 
can show their public housing residents are moving away from long-term 
dependence on housing assistance as evidenced by the proportion of 
households that leaves public housing and end their participation in 
assisted housing programs during calendar year 2004 as well as the 
average length of stay among public housing residents. The NOFA 
announced the availability of up to $10 million under the Graduation 
Incentive Bonus Program in fiscal year 2005. Eligible applicants are 
PHAs that operated a public housing program during calendar year 2004; 
have reported Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) Family 
Household form HUD-50058 data for residents who ended their residency 
in public housing during calendar year 2004; have a minimum of 100 
dwelling units in management status as reported in PIC as approved by 
the field office as of January 15, 2005; have a minimum of twenty-five 
Family Household form HUD-50058 records reported in PIC, and have met 
the minimum threshold criteria based upon its size category.
    Subsequent to publication of the June 2, 2005, NOFA, HUD discovered 
that the Fort Worth, Texas PHA was improperly identified as an eligible 
medium PHA rather than an eligible large PHA in the appendix of the 
NOFA.
    Accordingly, in the Public Housing Graduation Incentive Bonus 
Program, HUD will remove the Fort Worth, Texas PHA from the list of 
eligible medium PHAs and move it to the list of eligible large PHAs.

    Dated: July 26, 2005.
Paula O. Blunt,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
