approximately $2.26 billion in HUD assistance. In a Federal Register

Department is extending the deadline for the RHED and Public Housing 
Neighborhood Networks NOFAs to August 22, 2005. This extension affects 
only applicants located in these four states. HUD will accept 
applications to the RHED program NOFA and Public Housing Neighborhood 
Networks program NOFA from applicants in the four affected states
