with HIV/AIDS. Descriptions of HOPWA formula and competitive programs

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The renewal grant application notification 
to expiring permanent supportive housing grants was established in a 
HUD Notice entitled, ``Standards for Fiscal Year 2011 HOPWA Permanent 
Supportive Housing Renewal Grant Applications,'' issued on January 25, 
2011. The funding announcement for the new competitive grant awards 
were published in a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on May 18, 
2011. The HOPWA assistance made available in this announcement is 
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 2011.
    The 26 renewal grant awards totaling $28,111, 948 and the seven new 
competitive grant awards totaling $8,972,579 will provide housing and 
supportive services to an estimated 1278 low income households and 
their families living with HIV/AIDS. These grant applications committed 
approximately $49.8 million in leveraging of other Federal, State, 
local, and private resources to provide additional supportive services 
for project beneficiaries.
    The award of the seven new competitive grant recipients are funded 
under the HOPWA program's Special Projects of National Significance 
competitive grant program and these awards are for one-time only 
funding to be used over a three year grant period. This funding will 
support local planning and coordination efforts to develop and 
implement and Integrated HIV/AIDS Housing Plan (IHHP) for these 
respective communities. The IHHP(s) will be developed as a 
collaborative process to improve the systematic delivery of housing and 
services to low-income individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS 
and will serve as models for other communities across the U.S. These 
resources will allow States, localities, and nonprofits to devise 
place-based comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of 
low-income persons with HIV/AIDS while enabling the development of new 
cross program approaches for integrated HIV care, (housing and 
services) by collaborating with diverse community agencies and planning 
bodies, including Public Housing Authorities and DHHS-funded Ryan White 
CARE Act and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grantees. The 
renewal grants were announced on April 26, 2011, and the new 
competitive grant awards were announced on September 21, 2011.
    Both the renewal and new competitive grant activities compliment 
HUD's implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), HUD's
