the World Wide Web. In addition to this competitive selection, 122 
jurisdictions received formula based allocations during the 2006 fiscal 
year for $256.1 million in HOPWA funds. Descriptions of the formula 
programs may be obtained at http://www.hud.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FY2006 SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding 
Availability) for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs was published in 
the Federal Register on March 8, 2006 (71 FR 11973). The NOFA announced 
the availability of approximately $10 million in HOPWA competitive 
grant funding for new projects.
    The purpose of the HOPWA NOFA announcement was to solicit 
applications for two types of HOPWA competitive grants: (1) Awards for 
new long-term projects for permanent supporting housing and 
transitional housing projects from states and units of local government 
and balance of state areas not eligible for HOPWA formula funding; and 
(2) awards for new Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) 
demonstration grants for transitional, and permanent supportive housing 
projects. Beginning in 2006, the procedure for expiring permanent 
supportive housing grants that are eligible for renewal was established 
in a separate Notice entitled, CPD Notice 06-06, ``Standards for Fiscal 
Year 2006 HOPWA Permanent Supportive Housing Renewal Grant 
Applications.'' The HOPWA assistance made available in the renewal 
notice and NOFA competition was authorized by the AIDS Housing 
Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as amended by the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 
28, 1992) and was appropriated by the HUD Appropriations Act for 2006. 
The competition was announced in a NOFA published in the Federal 
Register on March 8, 2006 (71 FR 11973). Each application was reviewed 
and rated on the basis of selection criteria published in the NOFA. The 
renewal notice was issued on May 15, 2006.
    Public Benefit: The award of HOPWA funds to the 16 renewal and 10 
new project awards contribute towards HUD's mission in providing 
housing support that results in the provision of safe, decent, and 
affordable housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families 
who are at risk of homelessness. The 26 selected projects will provide 
housing assistance to an estimated 1,088 units/households for low-
income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The 26 grant 
awards total $27,484,189 and the selected grant applicants have 
reported the commitment of approximately $64.6 million in leveraging of 
other Federal, State, local, or private resources to provide additional 
supportive services for project beneficiaries.
    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 details of these funding 
grant announcements in Appendix A.
