public housing residents of severely distressed public housing projects 
through the demolition, rehabilitation, reconfiguration, or replacement 
of obsolete public housing projects; (2) revitalize sites on which such 
public housing projects are located and contribute to the improvement 
of the surrounding neighborhood; (3) provide housing that will avoid or 
decrease the concentration of very low-income families; and (4) build 
sustainable communities.
    The FY 2009 awards announced in this Notice were selected for 
funding in a competition, the results of which were announced on May

based on the selection criteria in the FY 2009 HOPE VI Revitalization 
NOFA.
    The amount appropriated in FY 2009 to fund HOPE VI was 
$120,000,000. Of this amount, $4,000,000 was used for HOPE VI Main 
Street grant awards and $2,400,000 of this amount was set-aside to fund 
technical assistance and contract expertise. The remaining $113,600,000 
was used to fund the FY 2009 HOPE VI Revitalization grants.
    In accordance with section 102 (a)(4)(C) of the Department of
