Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for HUD's Fiscal Year 2011; 
Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDA (HOPWA)

AGENCY: Office of the Chief of the Human Capital Officer, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: HUD announces the availability on its Web site of the 
applicant information, submission deadlines, funding criteria, and 
other requirements for HUD's FY2011 Housing for Persons with AIDS 
(HOPWA) Program NOFA. Specifically, this NOFA announces the 
availability of approximately $9.1 million made available under the 
Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 
2011, Public Law 112-10, approved April 15, 2011 for the Housing for 
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program.
    The purpose of the HOPWA program is to advance HUD's implementation 
of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). HOPWA NOFA also addresses the 
Department's Fiscal Year 2010-2015 Strategic Plan and the Opening Doors 
Federal Strategic Plan To Prevent and End Homelessness. These actions 
address goals to: Prevent and end homelessness; increase the supply of 
affordable housing; and increase the coordination of mainstream housing 
resources and other health and human services.
    The HOPWA NOFA announces funds available for projects that address 
both: (1) Direct housing assistance and service delivery to low income 
persons and families living with HIV/AIDS, including homeless 
individuals and families; and (2) comprehensive planning and 
coordination of local resources in meeting housing and service needs of 
the population. As a result of project efforts, communities will be 
assisted in the development and use of an Integrated HIV/AIDS Housing 
Plan (IHHP) to be issued at the end of the third year of operation. The 
IHHP is an administrative function and should demonstrate local system 
changes in the delivery of housing and services. Grantees are expected 
to provide housing assistance to eligible persons in their communities 
while concurrently examining and comprehensively integrating local 
services for coordinating and streamlining where possible the delivery 
of those services in your community.
