SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Emergency Capital Repair Grants Program 
is authorized by Section 202(b) of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 
1701q-2). Section 202b was amended to provide grants for ``substantial 
capital repairs to eligible multifamily projects with elderly tenants 
that are needed to rehabilitate, modernize, or retrofit aging 
structures, common areas or individual dwelling units.''
    On May 22, 2006, at 71 FR 29538, HUD published a notice, entitled 
``Emergency Capital Repair Grants for Multifamily Housing Projects 
Designated for Occupancy by the Elderly,'' which announced the 
availability of approximately $30 million in grant funds to make 
emergency capital repairs to eligible multifamily projects designated 
for occupancy by elderly tenants. HUD accepted applications on a first-
come, first-serve basis and awarded emergency capital repair grants 
until available amounts were expended. A notice of funding awards 
announcing Emergency Capital Repair Grant funding decisions made by the 
Department in Fiscal Year 2006 was published on April 3, 2007, at 72 FR 
15896. The amount awarded in FY 2006 was less than the total amount 
made available in the May 22, 2006, notice, and the Department has 
continued to make awards on a first-come, first-serve basis in FY 2007. 
This notice announces the additional funding decisions under the May 
22, 2006, notice made by the Department in Fiscal Year 2007.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.315.
    The Emergency Capital Repair Grant is designed to provide funds to 
make emergency capital repairs to eligible multifamily projects owned 
by private nonprofit entities designated for occupancy by elderly 
tenants. The capital repair needs must relate to items that present an 
immediate threat to the health, safety, and quality of life of the 
tenants. The intent of these grants is to provide one-time assistance 
for emergency items that could not be absorbed within the project's 
operating budget and other project resources.
    A total of $12,454,999 was awarded to 53 projects and 5,698 units. 
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 grantees and amounts of the 
awards in Appendix A of this document.

    Dated: November 20, 2007.
Brian D. Montgomery,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
