# I. HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGES TO THE APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2006 SECTION 202 AND SECTION 811 PROGRAMS.

## A. Submission of Applications.

### 1. Filing of applications.

> The application deadline date for the Section 811 program is May 26,
> 2006 and for the Section 202 Program the deadline date is June 2,
> 2006. Unless a waiver of the requirement for electronic application
> submittal is approved, applicants must register and are required to
> submit their application via [www.Grants.gov](http://www.Grants.gov/).
> All applications must be submitted to
> [www.grants.gov/Apply](http://www.grants.gov/Apply) and received and
> validated by Grants.gov no later than **11:59:59 p.m. Eastern time**
> on the application deadline date. Field Offices must encourage
> applicants to submit their applications no later than 48 to 72 hours
> in advance of the application deadline date in order to accommodate
> the validation process, which can take between 24 to 48 hours.
>
> To assist applicants in applying electronically, HUD published its
> Early Registration for Grant Application Submission Notice on December
> 9, 2005 (70 FR 73332). The Early Registration Notice provides
> step-by-step instructions for applicants that register with Grants.gov
> and renewal instructions for those applicants that have previously
> registered. Field Offices must encourage applicants to register early
> as the registration process can take up to two weeks. The General
> Section of the SuperNOFA details the requirements for electronic
> submission as well as the instructions for obtaining a waiver of the
> electronic submission requirement.

### 2. Proof of Timely Submission.

a.  [Electronic Submission]{.underline}. Proof of timely submission and
    validation is automatically recorded by Grants.gov. Please refer to
    the General Section of the Super NOFA for further discussion on
    timely receipt requirements and proof of timely submission.

> **(b)** [Paper Application Submission]{.underline}. If a waiver is
> approved to submit a paper application, the waiver letter will provide
> instructions regarding what time the application must be submitted on
> the deadline date, the number of copies of the application to be
> included, and where the application package must be sent. The Sponsor
> should mail their application in sufficient time to ensure that the
> application is received in the appropriate local HUD Office no later
> than the close of business on the deadline date for the local HUD
> Office. Hand delivered applications also should be delivered to the
> local HUD Office by the local HUD Office's close of business on the
> application deadline date. HUD will no longer accept as evidence of
> timely submission a receipt of mailing from the USPS or other mail
> services certifying that the application was mailed (i.e., the
> postmark date) by the established deadline date and time. An
> **original and 4** **copies** of the application must be received by
> the local HUD Office by the application deadline date. Paper
> applications received by the local HUD Office after the established
> deadline date and time will be considered late and non-responsive to
> the NOFA. Non-responsive applications will not be processed for
> funding consideration.

## B. Electronic Application Retrieval Procedures.

> The Grant Interface Management System (GIMS) is the interface between
> Grants.gov and HUD that provides an automated method to receive and
> distribute applications electronically. GIMS is available on the HUD
> webpage at, http://gims.hud.gov.
>
> For a detail discussion on using GIMS, please access "The Grants
> Interface Management System (GIMS) User's Guide" on the HUDweb page at
> the following URL: http://hudatwork.hud.gov/po/a/grants/gims/gims.cfm.

#########  {#section .unnumbered}

## C. Restoration of the District of Columbia Allocation.

> A separate allocation for the Washington, DC Office was restored this
> year. All applicants for projects proposed to be located within the
> jurisdiction of the Washington, DC Office that received permission to
> submit paper applications, will submit their paper applications to the
> Baltimore, Maryland Office for review and processing.

## 

## D. Economic Opportunities for Low and Very Low-Income Persons (Section 3).

> The Department has included compliance with the Section 3 provision as
> a Departmental Priority Policy. All applicants must comply with
> Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, 12 U.S.C.
> 170u (Economic Opportunities for Low and Very Low-Income Persons) and
> its implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 135. However, to be
> eligible to receive up to two points under Rating Factor 3(l),
> Sponsors must provide a description of their plans to incorporate the
> Section 3 requirements into their proposed project with the goal of
> expanding training and employment opportunities for low and very
> low-income residents as well as business concerns under Exhibit 3(k)
> for Section 202 and Exhibit 3(m) for Section 811.
>
> **1**. The submission of Exhibit 3(k)/202 and Exhibit 3(m)/(811) is
> optional, but in order to receive up to 2 points under Rating Factor
> 3(l), Sponsors must submit these Exhibits and adequately address their
> plans to provide training and employment opportunities to low and
> very-low income persons residing in the project area as well as
> business concerns.
>
> **2.** The Project Manager within the Multifamily Hubs/Program Centers
> is responsible for the review of these Exhibits and the assignment of
> points under Rating Factor 3(l).

## 

## E. Mixed-Finance. 

> Proposals to develop mixed-finance projects for additional units over
> and above the Section 202 and Section 811 units, whichever applies,
> are no longer a rating factor for additional points.
>
> **1.** Sponsors are still required to discuss their plans to develop a
> mixed-finance project for additional units under Exhibit 4(c)(iii) if
> they are planning on developing such projects for additional units.
>
> **2.** If a Sponsor proposes to develop a mixed-finance project for
> additional units, they are now required to demonstrate their ability
> to proceed with the development of the project without mixed-financing
> for additional units in the event that (i) they are later unable to
> obtain the necessary outside funding; or (ii) HUD disapproves their
> proposal for mixed-finance projects.

3.  Exhibit 4 (c)(iii) is now curable since it is no longer a rating
    factor.

## F. Project Design Requirements.

> The NOFA clarified that the proposed bedroom sizes must not exceed the
> maximum unit size limits as stated in Section 202 Handbook 4571.3 or
> Section 811 Handbook 4571.2, unless, the Sponsor demonstrates a
> willingness and ability to contribute the incremental development cost
> and continuing operating cost associated with the oversize units; or
> the project involves rehabilitation or acquisition and the additional
> design feature was incorporated into the existing structure before
> submission of the application.

## G. Application Changes.

### 1. Non-responsive Application.

> The definition for non-responsive applications was expanded to include
> additional reasons as listed below to determine whether an application
> will be considered as non-responsive to the NOFA. Applications will
> not be accepted for processing if the Sponsor:
>
> **(a)** submits paper copies of the application if HUD did not approve
> a waiver of the electronic submission requirements;
>
> **(b)** submits a substantially deficient application (i.e., a
> majority of the required exhibits, are not submitted with the
> application, particularly, but not limited to, those exhibits which
> are not curable). (See Section IV.B. of the program NOFA.)
>
> **(c)** requests assistance for an ineligible activity as defined in
> Section IV.E., Funding Restrictions, of the Section 202/811
> [NOFAs]{.underline}; or

(d) is an ineligible applicant (see Section III.A, Eligible Applicants
    of this program NOFA).

### 2. Changes to Exhibits.

> **(a)** Exhibit 2. A note was added to clarify the purpose of HUD's
> review of the Sponsor's organizational documents to determine the
> Sponsor's eligibility to participate in the Section 202/811 programs.
>
> **(b)** Exhibit 3(a). This Exhibit was revised to make it clear that
> Sponsors are required to describe their ability to enlist volunteers
> and raise local funds, if applicable.
>
> **(c)** Exhibit 3(k)/(202) and 3(m)/(811). Although optional, these
> are new Exhibits added for Sponsors to describe their plans, if any,
> to incorporate the Section 3 requirements in the proposed project.
>
> **(d)** Exhibit 4(c)(iii). Sponsor's description of any plans to
> develop a mixed-finance project for additional units, is now a curable
> item.
>
> **(e)** Exhibit 4(d)(ix). Sponsors will submit the letter they sent to
> State/Tribal Historic Officer (SHPO/THPO) requesting a review of their
> applications relative to any historical significance and a statement
> that the SHPO/THPO failed to respond; OR, if a response has been
> received, a copy of the SHPO/THPO letter to the Sponsor. Previously,
> this requirement was covered in two separate Exhibits.
>
> **(f)** Exhibit 6. Sponsors are required to submit a list of all FY
> 2005 and prior year Section 202 and Section 811 capital advance
> projects to which they are a party. Each must be identified by project
> number and local HUD office and include the following information:
>
> \(i\) Whether the project has initially closed and, if so, when;
>
> \(ii\) If the project was older than 24 months when it initially
> closed (specify how old) or if older than 24 months now (specify how
> old) and has not initially closed, provide the reasons for the delay
> in closing;

(g) Exhibit 8(a) -- Standard Form 424, Application for Federal
    Assistance.

    1.  Pursuant to E0 12372, if the State Point of Contact (SPOC)
        requires a review of the Sponsor's application, the Sponsor must
        include a copy of the cover letter sent to the SPOC in Exhibit
        8(a). Although the copy of the cover letter is a curable
        deficiency, the letter to the SPOC must reflect a date on or
        before the application deadline date.

> \(2\) In Item 12, Areas Affected by Project, of the SF-424, Sponsors
> are instructed to provide the name of the City, County, and State
> where the project will be located and not the largest political
> entities as indicated on the instructions page of the SF-424.
>
> **(h)** Exhibit 8(b) - Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity for
> Applicants (SF-424 Supplement). The completed SF-424 Supplement will
> contain information regarding whether or not the applicant is a
> faith-based organization. The Department is required to provide
> information to the White House and Congress from time to time on both
> the number of applications it receives from faith-based organizations
> as well as the number of funding awards it has provided to such
> organizations. Therefore, Program Centers are required to send a copy
> of the SF-424 Supplement from each application it receives to
> Headquarters, Office of Housing Assistance and Grant Administration,
> Attention: 202/811, Room 6142, **by June 28, 2006 for Section 811 and
> by July 6, 2006, for Section 202. Please write the related Project
> Numbers at the top of each front page of the SF-424 Supplement before
> submitting them to Headquarters.**
>
> **(i)** Exhibit 8(i)/(202) and 8(j)/(811), Program Outcome Logic
> Model, (form HUD-96010). This form was revised to tailor each specific
> program. It incorporates a master list of program needs,
> activities/outputs and outcomes that Sponsors can select from based on
> their planned activities.
>
> **(j)** Although optional, Form HUD-2994, You Are Our Grant Applicant
> Survey, was added to the list of forms under Exhibit 8.

## H. Rating Factor Changes.

> **1.** The maximum score for sub-Rating Factor 1(a), Capacity of the
> Applicant and Relevant Organizational Staff, has been reduced from 15
> to 13 points to accommodate the 2 points added under sub-Rating factor
> 3(l) for compliance with the Section 3 requirements..
>
> **2.** Under sub-Rating Factor 1(d), a sliding scale (from --3 points
> to --5points) was developed in order to better determine the deduction
> of points for those Sponsors that received an amendment money in
> connection with a fund reservation approved under either the Section
> 202 Program of Supportive Housing for the Elderly or the Section 811
> Program of Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities in FY 2001
> or later. The point deduction is as follows:

-   **(-3 points)**. The amount of the amendment money required was
    **[25% or less]{.underline}** of the original capital advance amount
    approved by HUD.

-   **(-4 points)**. The amount of the amendment money required was
    between **[26% and 50%]{.underline}** of the original capital
    advance amount approved by HUD.

-   **(-5 points)**. The amount of the amendment money required was over
    **[50%]{.underline}** of the original capital advance amount
    approved by HUD.

> **Note: Under this sub-rating factor, there are no exceptions for
> delays beyond the Sponsor's control**.

3.  In order to accommodate the Department's policy to allow Sponsor's
    to receive up to 2 points for describing their plans to comply with
    the Economic Opportunities for Low and Very Low-Income Persons
    (Section 3) requirement, a new sub-Rating Factor 3(l), Plans to Meet
    Section 3 Requirement, was added under Rating Factor 3, Soundness of
    Approach.

-   (1 point). Plans to provide opportunities to train and employ low
    and very-low income residents of the project area;

-   (1 point). Plans to award substantial contracts to persons residing
    in the project area.

> **4.** To provide a fair and more reasonable method to award points
> under Rating Factor 4, Leveraging Resources, a sliding scale based on
> the dollar value of any written evidence of firm commitments
> (including financial assistance, donation of land, provision of
> services, etc.) towards the development and operation of the proposed
> project from other funding sources (e.g., private local community and
> government sources) was developed. The designated points for this
> rating factor are to be awarded as follows:

-   0 point if the dollar value totals 5% or less of the capital advance
    amount as determined by HUD;

-   1 point if the total value totals between 6% and %10;

-   2 points if the total value totals between 11% and 15%;

-   3 point if the total value totals between 16% and 20%;

-   4 points if the total value totals between 21% and 25%; and

-   5 points if the total value totals over 25%.

## I. Program Forms and Appendices.

> Forms and appendices are no longer a component of the program NOFA,
> however, each NOFA provides the website where the required forms and
> appendices may now be downloaded. To download the forms for the
> Section 202 and Section 811 programs, please visit
> [http://www.Grants.gov](http://www.Grants.gov/) or HUD's website at
> <http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm>. It should be
> noted that the "fundsavail" website has additional related program
> documents that were appendices to prior years NOFAs (e.g., Listing of
> HUD Offices, Guide to Choosing an Environmentally Safe Site with
> Supplemental Guidance, and format of the SHPO/THPO letter).

## J. Evidence of Site Control.

> **1**. If the site is covered by mortgage under a HUD program, (e.g.,
> a previously funded Section 202 or 811 project or an FHA-insured
> mortgage) the Sponsor must submit evidence of site control as
> described in Exhibit 4 (d)(i)(A), (B), or (C) of the NOFA **AND**
> evidence that consent to release the site from the mortgage has been
> obtained or has been requested from HUD (all required information in
> order for a decision on the request for a partial release of security
> must have been submitted to the local HUD office) and from the
> mortgagee, if other than HUD. Approval to release the site from the
> mortgage must be done before the local HUD Office makes its selection
> recommendations to HUD Headquarters. Refer to Chapter 16 of HUD
> Handbook 4350.1 Rev-1, Multifamily Asset Management and Project
> Servicing, for instructions on submitting requests to the local HUD
> Office for a partial release of security from a mortgage under a HUD
> program.
>
> **2.** The NOFA clarifies that the Title policy or other similar
> evidence on site must be current. A current Title policy should be one
> that runs to the present Owner who will provide the option agreement
> or contract of sale and who would presumably have obtained a Title
> policy when it acquired the site. The Field Counsel will determine
> what is a reasonable period of time based on their review of the
> information in the submitted Title policy. If there is reason to
> question the Title policy, Field Counsel could request that the
> Multifamily Housing Project Manager ask for a Title Report
> supplementing the policy in a deficiency letter to the Sponsor.

## K. Environmental Issues.

### 1. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA).

> Phase I ESAs for all Section 202 proposals and Section 811 proposals
> with site control must be prepared in accordance with the ASTM
> Standards E 1527-05, as amended.

### 2. Asbestos.

> \(a\) The asbestos reporting requirement has been changed to require a
> comprehensive building asbestos survey, when applicable, rather than
> an asbestos report.
>
> \(b\) The requirement for determining when a Sponsor must conduct a
> comprehensive building asbestos survey has been changed to exclude any
> pre-1978 structures on the site(s) that most recently consisted of
> solely four or fewer units of single-family housing including
> appurtenant structures thereto. Therefore, Sponsors proposing to
> acquire and rehabilitate existing structures built after 1978 or
> structures built before 1978 that most recently consisted of solely
> four or fewer units of single-family housing, including appurtenant
> structures thereto, are required to submit a statement to this effect,
> but are not required to submit a comprehensive asbestos survey.

## L. Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) Term.

The initial term of the PRAC Budget Authority has been reduced from 5
years to 3 years.

## M. Form HUD-2530, Previous Participation Certification.

> Form HUD-2530 is no longer required to be submitted with the
> application at the NOFA stage. Thus, Sponsors no longer have to
> receive clearance by HUD regarding their previous participation
> activities before they can be considered for funding. Instead, if
> selected for funding, Sponsors will be required to submit their Form
> HUD-2530 electronically. This requirement must be fully covered during
> the project Planning Conference with Sponsors approved for funding.

## N. Reduction in Points for Time Limit.

> Points for Sponsor-caused delays in the project reaching initial
> closing and any corresponding need for amendment money will be
> deducted only for such projects that were funded in FY 2001 and later
> years (See Rating Factor 1.c and d). It was decided that it is unfair
> to continually penalize a Sponsor for such occurrences that happened
> five or more years ago if they have shown an improvement in project
> development in recent years.

## O. Clarification on the Removal of Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing.

> **1.** [Awarding of Points]{.underline}. Applicants are eligible to
> receive up to 2 points for responding to the policy priority of
> undertaking activities that will remove barriers to the development of
> affordable housing. Section 202 and Section 811 applicants are to
> describe the extent to which the jurisdiction, in which the project
> will be located, had undertaken successful efforts to remove
> regulatory barriers to affordable housing in Exhibit 3(j) and Exhibit
> 3(l), respectively. To receive up to the 2 points under Rating Factor
> 3(g), Section 202 and Section 811 applicants must submit Form
> HUD-27300, Questionnaire for HUD's Initiative on Removing Regulatory
> Barriers **and** the necessary URL references and or the required
> documentary evidence.
>
> **2**. [Guidance on Awarding Points on the Removal of Regulatory
> Barriers to Affordable]{.underline} [Housing]{.underline}. Form
> HUD-27300 consists of two parts:

-   **Part A:** Local Jurisdictions, Counties Exercising Land Use and
    Building Regulatory Authority and Other Applicants Applying for
    Projects Located in Such Jurisdictions or Counties. Part A consists
    of 20 questions with two columns for response to each question, a No
    Response and a Yes Response.

-   **Part B**: State Agencies and Departments or Other Applicants
    Applying for Projects Located in Unincorporated Areas or Areas
    Otherwise Not Covered in Part A. Part B consists of 15 questions
    with two columns for response to each question, a No Response and a
    Yes Response.

> For both Parts A and B, a check in column 2 is valid only if, as
> stated in the NOFA, the applicant supplies for each question either a
> reference, URL, or a brief statement indicating where the backup
> information may be found and a point of contact including a telephone
> number and/or email address. The Department may request the applicant
> to subsequently submit supporting or clarifying documentation. The
> applicant's supply of a reference, URL, or brief statement that
> indicates where backup information may be found is to assist the
> reviewer with any response that the reviewer believes should be
> checked whether for purposes of verification or clarity in
> understanding a response. Where the reference to backup information is
> not helpful to the reviewer, the reviewer may request the applicant to
> submit additional supporting or clarifying documentation.
>
> In addition, a limited number of these questions expressly request the
> applicant to provide brief documentation in the application itself
> (see questions Part A, No. 12 and Part B, Nos. 12, 14 and 15). As with
> any documentation specifically requested by HUD in its NOFAs, this
> information is to be reviewed by the reviewer to ensure that it is
> responsive to the question. If the information is not provided, points
> should not be awarded for the response.

-   Part A -- The applicant will not receive any points if there are
    only 4 or fewer checks in column 2.

-   Part A -- The applicant will get 1 point if there are 5 to 9 valid
    checks in column 2.

-   Part A -- The applicant will get 2 points if there are 10 or more
    valid checks in column 2.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Part B -- The applicant will not receive any points if there are 3
    or fewer checks in column 2.

-   Part B -- The applicant will get 1 point if there are 4 to 7 valid
    checks in column 2.

-   Part B -- The applicant will get 2 points if there are 8 or more
    valid checks in column 2.

## P. Reporting Requirements.

> The reporting requirement has been revised as follows:

###  1. Program Outcome Logic Model (form HUD 96010).

> The Sponsor and the Owner, when formed, are now required to report
> annually, on the results achieved against the output goal(s) and
> outcome(s), which were initially proposed.
>
> The Program Outcome Logic Model (Form HUD-96010) is being required in
> addition to the Project Development Timeline. The Project Development
> Timeline was introduced as an application requirement in FY 2003 for
> two purposes. First, it served as a means for determining whether an
> applicant had a full understanding of the development process for
> Section 202 or Section 811 housing which would be an additional
> indication of the Sponsor's ability to develop the project in a timely
> manner. It also was required as a means for beginning to hold selected
> Sponsors accountable for their performance and for achieving results.
> In an effort to increase the applicant's accountability for their
> performance, all SuperNOFA applicants are required to complete Form
> HUD-96010. Headquarters offered two additional satellite broadcasts on
> the Logic Model; one for HUD staff and one for applicants. Check the
> satellite broadcast schedule on
> <http://ww.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm> to view the
> archived public broadcast and
> <http://hudweb.hud.gov/po/a/grants/odgmotrng.htm> on the <HUD@Work>
> site to view the staff broadcast.

### 2. Return of Investment Statement.

> Based on information provided in the Logic Model, Sponsors will be
> required to submit to HUD a statement reporting the Return on
> Investment (ROI) as a result of HUD's Section 202 or Section 811
> funding award. HUD will be publishing a separate notice of the ROI
> concept later.

### 3. Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Form (form HUD-27061). 

> HUD no longer requires Sponsors to submit form HUD-27061 that provides
> for the collection and reporting of racial and ethnic beneficiary
> data.

## Q. Expiration of Funds.

> The Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act,
> 2006, requires HUD to obligate all Section 202 and Section 811 funds
> appropriated for FY 2006 by September 30, 2009. Under 31 U.S.C.
> Section 1551, no funds can be disbursed from this account after
> September 30, 2014. Under Section 202 and Section 811, obligation of
> funds occurs for both capital advances and project rental assistance
> upon fund reservation and acceptance. If all funds are not disbursed
> by HUD and expended by the project Owner by September 30, 2014, the
> funds, even though obligated, will expire and no further disbursements
> can be made from this account. Furthermore, all unexpended balances,
> including any remaining balance on PRAC contracts will be cancelled as
> of October 1, 2014.

## 

## R. Accessibility.

> Compliance with HUD's design and cost standards has been clarified to
> include the implementing regulation at 24 CFR Part 8.

## S. Changes Applicable to the Section 202 Program Only.

### 1. Available Funds.

> For FY 2006, \$443,167,647 is available for capital advances for new
> units under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program
> as provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
> Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-115, approved November 30, 2005)

### 2. Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Allocation.

> The allocations for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan portions of the
> local HUD Office jurisdictions reflect the definitions of metropolitan
> and nonmetropolitan areas as of the June 2003 definitions by the
> Office of Management and Budget, and not the 2000 Census as previously
> done.

### 3. Mixed-Finance.

> The Section 202 NOFA clarified that any additional units in a
> mixed-finance proposal must be for the elderly.

## T. Changes Applicable to the Section 811 Program Only.

### 1. Available Funds.

> For FY 2006, \$90,302,844 million is available for capital advances
> new units under the Section 811 Program of Supportive Housing for
> Persons with Disabilities as provided under the Department of Housing
> and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub.L. 109-115,
> approved November 30, 2005).

### 2. Site Identified Applications.

> Project location must include street address or block/lot number(s).

### 3. Review and Rating of Exhibit 4(a), Evidence of Need.

> The responsibility for determining the need for additional housing for
> persons with disabilities has been transferred from the Economic and
> Market Analysis Staff (EMAS) to the Valuation staff within the
> Multifamily Hubs/Program Centers. Therefore, the Valuation staff will
> be responsible for reviewing Exhibit 4(a) of Section 811 applications
> and assigning the related points (0 or 10 points) under Rating Factor
> 2(a).

# II. CHANGES PURSUANT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2006. 

> In accordance with the waiver authority provided in the FY 2006
> Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2006,
> the Secretary is extending the determination, as made in the Notice,
> published in 61 F.R. 3047 and in the FYs 1997 through 2005 Section 202
> and Section 811 NOFAs, to FY 2006, by waiving the statutory and
> regulatory provisions governing the amount and term of the Project
> Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC).

Project rental assistance funds will be reserved based on **75 percent**
of the current operating cost standards to support the units selected
for capital advances sufficient for a minimum **three-year** project
rental assistance contract term. The Department anticipates that at the
end of the contract term, renewals will be approved depending upon the
availability of funds.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WAIVER BROADENING THE ELIGIBILITY OF TENANTS TO
PERSONS WITH INCOMES AT 80 PERCENT OF THE MEDIAN OR BELOW (61 F.R. 3047,
JANUARY 30, 1996) IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. THE STATUTORY PROVISION
LIMITING ELIGIBILITY TO PERSONS WITH INCOMES AT 50 PERCENT OF THE MEDIAN
OR BELOW REMAINS IN EFFECT.**

# III. CHANGES FOR FY 2005 AND EARLIER WHICH ARE STILL IN EFFECT.

## A. Section 202 and Section 811 Program Changes.

### 1. DUNS Number.

> All applicants will need to obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal
> Numbering System (DUNS) number and include it on its Standard Form 424
> (SF-424), Application for Federal Assistance. The General Section of
> the SuperNOFA explains the procedures for obtaining a DUNS number. The
> DUNS number and the SF-424 are curable deficiencies. If the DUNS
> number is not included on the SF-424 and is not provided during the
> deficiency period, the application cannot be selected.

### 2. Name Check Review*.*

> Approvable applicants are subjected to a Name Check Review. Name
> checks are intended to reveal matters that significantly reflect on
> the applicant's management and financial integrity or if any key
> individual has been convicted or is presently facing criminal charges.
> Program Centers must submit a list of all applications that are
> approvable for funding along with the SF-424 from each of these
> applications to Headquarters, the Office of Housing Assistance and
> Grant Administration, Room 6142, Attention Section 202/811, at the
> same time they submit their selection information to the Multifamily
> Hubs. If the name check review reveals significant adverse findings
> that reflect on the business integrity or responsibility of the
> applicant and/or key individual, HUD reserves the right to:
>
> **(a)** deny funding or consider suspension/termination of an award
> immediately for cause;
>
> **(b)** require removal of any key individual from association with
> management of and/or implementation of the award; and
>
> **(c)** make appropriate provisions or revisions with respect to the
> method of payment and/or financial reporting requirements.
> Headquarters will notify the Hubs as soon as the results of the name
> check review process are available should the results affect the
> selection of any applications that are either on the Selection List or
> on the Approvable, but Unfunded List so that appropriate changes can
> be made before the selection materials are sent to Headquarters.

### 3. Leasehold Term.

> The leasehold term is 50 years with renewal provisions for 25 years
> except for sites located on Indian Trust land. The leasehold term for
> sites on Indian Trust land is 50 year with no extension requirement.

### 4. Expiration of Funds.

> **(a)** The FYs 2003, and 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Resolutions
> require all 202/811 FYs 2003, 2004, funds to be obligated by September
> 30, 2006. No funds can be disbursed from the account after September
> 30, 2011. The project must be completed through final closing no later
> than September 30, 2011. All unexpended balances, including any
> remaining balance on PRAC contracts will be cancelled as of October 1,
> 2011. Other current appropriations will have to fund any amounts
> needed to maintain PRAC payments for any remaining term on the
> affected contracts beyond September 30, 2011.
>
> **(b)** *Section 202*. The FY 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act
> requires all 202 FY 2005 funds to be obligated by September 30, 2008.
> No funds can be disbursed from the account after September 30, 2013.
> The project must be completed through final closing no later than
> September 30, 2013. All unexpended balances, including any remaining
> balance on PRAC contracts will be cancelled as of October 1, 2013.
> Other current appropriations will have to fund any amounts needed to
> maintain PRAC payments for any remaining term on the affected contract
> beyond September 30, 2013.
>
> **(c)** *Section 811*. The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act
> of 2005 requires all 811 FY 2005 funds to be obligated by September
> 30, 2006. No funds can be disbursed from the account after September
> 30, 2011. The project must be completed through final closing no later
> than September 30, 2011. All unexpended balances, including any
> remaining balance on PRAC contracts will be cancelled as of October 1,
> 2011. Other current appropriations will have to fund any amounts
> needed to maintain PRAC payments for any remaining term on the
> affected contract beyond September 30, 2011.

### 5. Project Development Timeline. 

> In keeping with the Department's Policy Priorities requiring
> applicants to be accountable for their performance and achieving
> results, Sponsors are required to submit under Exhibit 3(h), a project
> development timeline that lists the major development stages for the
> project with the associated dates for completing the stages. Sponsors
> have to identify the development stages to get the projects to initial
> closing and start of construction within the 18-month term of the fund
> reservation period, as well as the full completion of the project
> through final closing. Information from this Exhibit is used to assist
> the Field Office in scoring applications under Rating Factor 5,
> Achieving Results and Program Evaluation.

### 6. Forms & Certifications.

> **(a)** [Elimination of Certain Certifications]{.underline}**.** An
> applicant's signature on Forms HUD-92015 or HUD-92016 is, in effect, a
> certification that the applicant will comply with all program
> requirements.
>
> **(b)** [Submission Form HUD-424B]{.underline}, Applicant Assurances
> and Certifications, is eliminated to conform to the General Section of
> the SuperNOFA.

### 7. Threshold Score.

> The minimum score for funding consideration was increased from 70 to
> 75 points beginning in FY 2003 (exclusive of the two bonus points for
> Renewal Community/Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community/Urban Enhanced
> Enterprise Community (RC/EC/EZ) applications).

### 8. Review and Selection Process.

> **(a)** [Selection Process]{.underline}. At the conclusion of
> technical processing, Rating/Selection Panels must score each Rating
> Factor for all applications that successfully complete technical
> processing. Applications that receive a score of **75** base points or
> higher are then ranked in descending order. The Rating/Selection
> Panels then select for funding the highest rated applications ranked
> in descending order which most reasonably approximate the number of
> units **and** capital advance funds available to each Program Center.
> The Rating/Selection Panels must select in rank order down to the next
> highest rated application that can utilize the remaining funds
> **WITHOUT** skipping over a higher rated application.
>
> After making the initial selections, any residual funds may be used to
> fund the next rank-ordered application by reducing the units by no
> more than 10 percent rounded to the nearest whole number; provided the
> reduction will not render the project infeasible. Projects of five
> units or less, or two units if a Section 811 group home, may not be
> reduced. An example of a project becoming infeasible by a unit
> reduction is a project that will be rehabilitated (for Section 811
> this applies only if the Sponsor has site control), where the project
> will not be able to sustain fewer units than those requested.
> Acceptance by a Sponsor of a project where the units have been reduced
> means acceptance of the reduced number of units.

-   [Under Section 202]{.underline}, the above processes must be done
    separately for each Program Center\'s metropolitan and
    non-metropolitan allocations. Once this is completed, Program
    Centers may combine their unused metropolitan and non-metropolitan
    funds to select the next highest ranked application in either
    category using the unit reduction policy described above.

-   [Under Section 811]{.underline}, the above process must be done
    first for all applications that are in Category A in each Program
    Center jurisdiction before any applications in Category B can be
    selected.

> After the Program Centers have funded all possible projects based on
> the process above, residual funds from all Program Centers in each
> Multifamily Hub will be combined. These funds will be used to first,
> restore units to projects reduced by Program Centers based on the
> above instructions. Second, additional applications within each
> Multifamily Hub will be selected in rank order with no more than one
> additional application selected per Program Center unless there are
> insufficient approvable applications in other Program Centers within
> the Multifamily Hub. For the Section 811 program, this process must be
> done first for all applications that are in Category A before any
> applications in Category B can be selected. This process will continue
> until there are no more approvable applications within the Multifamily
> Hub that can be selected with the remaining funds. However, any
> remaining residual funds may be used to fund the next rank-ordered
> application by reducing the number of units by no more than 10 percent
> rounded to the nearest whole number, provided the reduction will not
> render the project infeasible. For this purpose, HUD will not reduce
> the number of units in projects of five units or less.
>
> **NOTE: Program Centers and Hub Offices cannot skip over any
> applications in order to fund one based on the funds remaining.**
>
> Section 202 and Section 811 funds remaining after these processes are
> completed will be returned to Headquarters.
>
> The residual funds for each program will be used to restore units to
> projects reduced by Program Centers/Hubs as a result of the
> instructions above and for selecting applications based on Program
> Centers' rankings, beginning with the next highest rated application
> nationwide.
>
> For Section 811 only, before restoring units to projects reduced by
> Program Centers/Hubs, HUD Headquarters will use the residual Section
> 811 funds first to fund the Methodist Rehab Center in the jurisdiction
> of the Jackson, MS Program Center, a FY 2005 application that was not
> funded due to an administrative error relative to the electronic
> submission process, and Lower Paxton VOA Living Center in the
> jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, PA Program Center, a FY 2005
> application that was not funded due to HUD error. Then all other
> approvable applications in Category A will be selected before any
> applications in Category B. However, during the first round of funding
> of additional Section 811 applications from HUD Headquarters' residual
> funds, HUD Headquarters will skip over any applications within the
> jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, PA Program Center because of HUD
> Headquarters' funding of an additional application that was not
> selected in FY 2005 for that Program Center, due to HUD error.
>
> For Section 202 only, priority will be given to those applications for
> projects in non-metropolitan areas, if necessary, to meet the
> statutory requirement pertaining to Section 202 funding in
> non-metropolitan areas.
>
> No more than one application will be selected per Program Center from
> the national residual amount, unless there are insufficient approvable
> applications in other Program Centers. If there are no approvable
> applications in other Program Centers, the process will begin again
> with the selection of the next highest rated application nationwide.
> This process will continue until all approvable applications are
> selected using the available remaining funds. For Section 811, if
> there are no approvable applications in Category A in other Program
> Centers, then the next highest rated application in Category B in
> another Program Center will be selected.
>
> **(b)** [Appeal Period for Technical Rejection]{.underline}**.** The
> appeal period for applications that receive a technical rejection is
> 14 calendar days from the date of HUD's letter notifying the Sponsor
> of the technical rejection.
>
> **(c)** [Initial Screening for Curable Deficiencies]{.underline}. The
> list of exhibits or portions of exhibits that are considered curable
> deficiencies is included in the Section 202 and Section 811 program
> sections of the SuperNOFA.
>
> HUD Offices will complete an initial screening for curable
> deficiencies of all applications received by the application deadline
> date. Curable deficiencies include those items in the application that
> are required but do not have an impact on the rating of the
> application (e.g., missing certifications). Applicants will no longer
> be afforded the opportunity to submit missing exhibits or parts of
> exhibits that have an impact on the rating of the application (e.g., a
> failure to include a description of local government support for the
> project in the Sponsor\'s description of its purpose, community ties
> and experience). Applicants will be given 14 calendar days from the
> date of HUD notification to correct any curable deficiencies. At the
> end of the 14-day curable deficiency period, all applications received
> in accordance with the application submission requirements will be
> placed into technical processing.
>
> **NOTE**: Only those Exhibits that do not affect the rating of the
> application and are missing in their entirety or a portion thereof
> from the application are curable. If an Exhibit is listed as curable
> in the NOFA, but the Exhibit is not missing nor any portion thereof
> (i.e., it is complete and clear with respect to its contents), then
> that Exhibit would not be treated as curable and the Sponsor would not
> be given additional time to correct any deficiencies that may be
> discovered later as a result of the local HUD Office's technical
> review of the Exhibit. However, Field Offices are still permitted to
> seek clarification of information in an Exhibit, if necessary.
>
> **(d)** [Technical Rejections]{.underline}**.** At the conclusion of
> technical processing, the HUD Office will send out technical reject
> letters to Sponsors of applications in which curable deficiencies were
> not corrected during the curable deficiency period, incurable
> deficiencies were discovered during initial screening, and/or
> technical deficiencies were identified during technical processing.
> The technical reject letter will indicate all of the reasons for
> rejection of the application and provide the Sponsor 14 calendar days
> from the date of the letter to appeal the rejection. HUD must respond
> to the Sponsor within five working days of receipt of the appeal.

-   Field Offices are **not** permitted, **under any circumstances**, to
    talk to or meet with any applicant whose application has been
    technically rejected. The procedure that must be followed for
    applications that are technically rejected is for the applicant to
    receive a technical reject letter outlining the reasons for the
    rejection and affording them an opportunity to appeal the rejection
    without submitting any new information. The appeal process is not an
    opportunity for the applicant to discuss with Field Office staff,
    either on the telephone or in person, why their application should
    not be rejected, as it would undermine the competitive aspect of the
    programs.

-   If an applicant is not satisfied with the Field Office's response to
    their appeal, any further appeal of the Field Office's decision must
    be forwarded to Headquarters, Office of Housing Assistance and Grant
    Administration, for a final determination.

### 9. Appeal Process.

> Applicants have 14 calendar days from the date of HUD's written notice
> to appeal a technical rejection to the local HUD Office. Pursuant to
> the regulations at 24 CFR part 4, subpart B and the provisions of the
> General Section of the SuperNOFA, HUD will not consider any
> unsolicited information from the applicant. The local HUD Office will
> make a determination on any appeals before making its selection
> recommendations.

### 

### 10. Development Cost Limits.

> **(a)** [Increased Development Cost Limits]{.underline}. The
> Development Cost Limits for elevator and non-elevator structures under
> the Section 202 program and for independent living projects under the
> Section 811 program have been increased to match the Section 221(d)(3)
> cost limits which were published in the [Federal Register]{.underline}
> on November 18, 2003, and became effective on January 1, 2004. These
> cost limits, including the cost limits for Section 811 group homes,
> which were also increased, reflect the current trend in costs to
> develop such projects. The high cost factors also have been revised to
> correspond to the new development cost limits. HUD Offices will
> calculate FY 2006 Section 202 and Section 811 fund reservations based
> on outstanding program instructions (see Paragraph 3-50 of Handbooks
> 4571.3REV and 4571.2) using the revised development cost limits and
> high cost factors.
>
> **(b)** Language was added to Part IV.E.3, Development Cost Limits to
> state the following: "The capital advance funds awarded projects are
> to be considered the total amount of funds that the Department will
> provide for the development of the project. Amendment funds will only
> be provided in exceptional circumstances (e.g., to cover increased
> costs for construction delays due to litigation or unforeseen
> environmental issues resulting in a change of sites) that are clearly
> beyond the applicant's control. Otherwise, the applicant is
> responsible for any costs over and above the capital advance amount
> provided by the Department as well as any costs associated with any
> excess amenities and design features".

### 11. Commercial Space.

> The maximum amount of space allowed for a commercial facility,
> separately, may not exceed 10 percent of the total project cost. It is
> no longer combined with community space for the purpose of determining
> the maximum amount of allowable space.

# 

### 12. Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Requirements.

> **(a)** The NOFA informs and/or reminds applicants that HUD must

### 13. Site Related Issues.

> **(a)** [Site Control]{.underline}. The specific forms of site control
> acceptable to the Department have been clarified (see Exhibit 4(d) of
> the Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs. Particularly, the site option
> must remain in effect at least for six months from the application
> deadline date, must state a firm price binding on the seller, and must
> be renewable at the end of the six-month option period. The only
> condition on which the option may be terminated is if the Sponsor is
> not awarded a fund reservation. The option must be renewable at the
> end of the six months option period.
>
> Sponsors must also provide evidence (a current title policy or other
> acceptable evidence) that the site is free from any limitations,
> restrictions, or reverters, which could adversely affect the use of
> the site for the proposed project for the 40-year capital advance
> period (e.g., reversion to seller if title is transferred). If the
> title evidence contains restrictions or covenants, the Sponsor must
> submit copies of such covenants or restrictions with the applications.
> However, if not submitted, this is a curable deficiency item. If the
> site is subject to any such limitations, restrictions, or reverters:
> (1) for Section 202, the application will be rejected; or (2) for
> Section 811, the site will be rejected, the application will not
> receive points for Site Approvability from Valuation or for Site
> Suitability from FHEO, and the application will be placed in Category
> B for selection purposes as long as the Sponsor indicates its
> willingness to seek an alternate site. Purchase money mortgages that
> will be satisfied from capital advance funds are not considered to be
> limitations or restrictions that would adversely affect the use of the
> site. If the contract of sale or the option agreement contains
> provisions that allow a Sponsor not to purchase the property for
> reasons such as environmental problems, failure of the site to pass
> inspection, or the appraisal is less than the purchase price, then
> such provisions are not objectionable and a Sponsor is allowed to
> terminate the contract of sale or the option agreement.

>
> To determine the acceptability of the site and to rate the

> The site will be deemed acceptable if it increases housing choice and
> opportunity by:

-   expanding housing opportunities in non-minority neighborhoods (if
    located in such a neighborhood); or

-   contributing to the revitalization and reinvestment in minority
    neighborhoods, including improvement of the level, quality and
    affordability of services furnished to the minority elderly and
    persons with disabilities.

> Starting in For FY 2003, the term "minority neighborhood (area of

(i) [Applicability of Acquisition for Sites under the URA]{.underline}.
    The annual Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs have included
    information to remind Sponsors of their exemption from the site
    acquisition requirements of the URA under certain conditions. The
    site acquisition requirements do not apply to the Section 202 and
    Section 811 Sponsors if, prior to entering into a contract of sale
    or any other method of obtaining site control, the Sponsor informs
    the seller of the land:

    -   That it does not have the power of eminent domain and,
        therefore, will not acquire the property if negotiations fail to
        result in an amicable agreement; and

    -   Of its estimate of the fair market value of the property. An
        appraisal is not required; however, the Sponsor's files must
        include an explanation, with reasonable evidence, of the basis
        for the estimate.

> \(ii\) In those cases, prior to submission of an application for a
> fund reservation, where there are existing contracts or options and
> Sponsors did not provide the pre-contractual notifications to the
> sellers, the Sponsor must provide the notification after-the-fact and
> give the seller an opportunity to withdraw from the contract/option.
> All Section 202 and Section 811 applications for fund reservations
> that are filed in response to the FY 2006 NOFAs must be in compliance
> with the above.
>
> \(iii\) Because of the importance of getting this information to
> Sponsors as early as possible in the project planning stages, the
> exemption provisions under the URA's site acquisition requirements are
> now included in Section IV.B. 2.c.(1)(d)(iv) and Section VI.B.2 of the
> Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs.
>
> \(iv\) The implementing instructions regarding site acquisition under
> the URA are contained in Chapter 5 of HUD Handbook 1378, CHG-4, Tenant
> Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition.

### 14. Evidence of Need/Demand.

> Where EMAS finds there is not sufficient sustainable demand for
> additional units of the number and type of units proposed, without
> long-term adverse impact on the occupancy in existing
> federally-assisted housing for the elderly or persons with
> disabilities, a detailed report of EMAS's findings must be prepared.
> The report must present the data and findings justifying the
> conclusion. A copy of the report must be attached to the Technical
> Processing Review and Findings Memorandum, and one copy is to be sent
> to the Headquarters Economic and Market Analysis Division, Attention:
> Kevin P. Kane, Office of Policy Development and Research, Room 8224.
>
> **NOTE**: For the Section 811 program only, the Valuation staff, not
> EMAS, is now responsible for determining the need and demand for
> additional units for persons with disabilities and awarding points for
> same under Rating Factor 2.a.

### 15. Elimination of Congressional Notification Letter.

> In an effort to standardize the information that the Office of
> Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations (CIR) needs to notify
> Congress of all the funding awards under the SuperNOFA, the
> Congressional Notification Letter that is in the Development
> Application Processing system (DAP) will no longer be used for that
> purpose. Headquarters will be providing CIR with an excel spreadsheet
> with pertinent information such as the Grant Program Name, recipient,
> the street address, city, state and zip code of the project, the total
> award amount and a contact name and phone number. This information
> will be pulled from the data inputted into DAP.
>
> **NOTE**: Although you are not required to submit the Congressional
> Notification Letters for your selected projects to HUD Headquarters,
> HUD Offices are still required to complete the "Project Highlights"
> section of the Congressional Notification Letters in DAP for each
> approvable application. This is required because Headquarters pulls
> the information from the "Project Highlights" section to prepare the
> Press Release for each application selected for funding. By completing
> the "Project Highlights" for each approvable application, this
> information will be already available for any additional approvable
> applications funded by the Hub or Headquarters using residual funds.

### 16. Press Release Information.

> The Project Highlights section of the Congressional Notification
> Letter will be used for the attachment to the Press Release as
> indicated in the preceding paragraph. When completing the Project
> Highlights, please pay particular attention to the following:
>
> **(a)** [Project Description]{.underline}. Describe something unique
> and interesting about the project. The following are good examples of
> project highlights for a Section 202 project and a Section 811
> project:

\(i\) [Section 202]{.underline}

> The funds will be used to construct 100 one-bedroom units for very-low
> income elderly persons and one two-bedroom unit for a resident
> manager. The site for the project is adjacent to an existing senior
> center and the residents will be able to participate in the many
> activities sponsored by the center including a meals program. A public
> bus stop will be located in front of the project so the residents will
> have easy access to shopping and medical facilities. A Service
> Coordinator is being provided on site to help residents, particularly
> frail residents, assess services.

\(ii\) [Section 811]{.underline}

> The funds will be used to acquire and rehabilitate seven units for
> very low-income persons with physical disabilities. The project
> consists of five one-bedroom and two two-bedroom condominium units
> scattered throughout an existing condominium complex. The location is
> in close proximity to services such as medical, shopping and public
> transportation, etc. This integrated model allows residents to blend
> into the surrounding community yet provides the accessibility features
> and the availability of supportive services that allow them to live as
> independently as possible.
>
> **(b)** [Things to Avoid in Description of Section
> 811Project/Residents]{.underline}**.**
>
> \(i\) The words or phrases that must not be used and their
> replacements are as follows:

-   handicapped" (except when used to describe accessibility or
    adaptability), "clients", or "patients". Instead, use "person or
    persons with disabilities".

-   "supervision" (or any form of the word), "caretaker", or
    "houseparents" Instead, use "resident manager".

-   "facility". Instead, use "project", "housing" or "independent living
    project", "group home" or "condominium", as the case may be.

-   "low income". Instead, use "very low-income" since residents of
    Section 202 or Section 811 housing must be very low income.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   "confined to a wheelchair". Instead, use "wheelchair user".

-   "services will be provided". Instead, use "services will be
    available".

> \(ii\) Do not capitalize the type of project or the type of
> disability.
>
> **(c)** [Proofread Carefully]{.underline}. Make sure there are no
> typos in the final DAP entry.

### 17. Applicant Debriefing.

> The NOFAs now provide for an applicant debriefing. The request must be
> in writing to the appropriate local HUD Office's Director of
> Multifamily Housing beginning 30 days after the awards are publicly
> announced and lasting at least 120 days after the awards are publicly
> announced. (See General Section of NOFA on applicant debriefing)

### 18. Administrative and National Policy Requirements

> **(a)** [Conducting Business in Accordance with Core Values
> and]{.underline} [Ethical Standards]{.underline}. In the General
> Section of the SuperNOFA, it states that entities subject to 24 CFR
> Parts 84 and 85 must develop and maintain a written code of conduct.
> The Section 202 and Section 811 programs are not subject to 24 CFR
> parts 84 and 85. Instead, Section 202 and Section 811 Sponsors/Owners
> must adhere to the conflict of interest provisions in 24 CFR 891.130.
>
> **(b)** [Ensuring the Participation of Small Businesses,
> Small]{.underline} [Disadvantaged Businesses and Women-Owned
> Businesses]{.underline}. With respect to the Department's priority for
> "Ensuring the Participation of Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged
> Businesses and Women-Owned Businesses in HUD Programs," it was
> clarified that Section 202/811 Sponsors/Owners must comply with
> Executive Order (EO) 12432, Minority Business Enterprise Development
> and EO 11625, Prescribing Additional Arrangements for Developing and
> Coordinating a National Program for Minority Business Enterprise.
>
> **(c) Minority Business Enterprise Goals.**
>
> The Department encourages participation by the Minority Business
> Enterprise (MBE) sector in HUD programs and establishes MBE goals each
> fiscal year. Therefore, MBE goals (expressed in dollars and units)
> have been established for the Section 202 and Section 811 FY 2006
> funding round as set forth in Attachments 8 and 9. (These goals do not
> affect the rating of Section 202 or Section 811 applications.) A
> minority Sponsor is one in which more than 50 percent of the board
> members are minority (i.e., Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian
> Pacific or Asian Indian). Offices are expected to encourage
> participation by minority Sponsors.
>
> **(d) HUD Reform Act Provisions.**
>
> As required by the HUD Reform Act, the Department will publish the
> funding decisions in the [Federal Register]{.underline} at the
> conclusion of the funding cycle. Local HUD Office staff is also
> reminded that the HUD Reform Act prohibits advance disclosure of
> funding decisions (also see 24 CFR Part 4)

### 19. Sponsor as Consultant.

> The Sponsor may also serve as a consultant to the project. Section
> 891.130(a)(2)(iii) of the final rule for the Section 202 and Section
> 811 programs states that developer (consultant) contracts between the
> Owner and the Sponsor or the Sponsor\'s nonprofit affiliate will not
> constitute a conflict of interest if no more than two persons salaried
> by the Sponsor or management affiliate serve as nonvoting directors on
> the Owner\'s board of directors.

### 20. Supportive Services.

> **(a)** [Supportive Services Plan]{.underline}**.** The Exhibit for
> providing a description of the provision of services and the
> supportive services plan is now Exhibit 5. It was previously a part of
> Exhibit 4.
>
> **(b)** [Sponsors Cannot Require Residents to Accept Supportive
> Services]{.underline}. Section 202 and Section 811 Sponsors must
> **not** require residents to accept any supportive services as a
> condition of occupancy. Although the acceptance of services has never
> been a program requirement, it has come to the Department's attention
> that in many cases residents have been required to accept services in
> order to live in housing for persons with disabilities developed under
> either the Section 202 Direct Loan program or the Section 811 program.

### 21. Historic Preservation.

> Sponsors are to submit with their applications, a letter from the SHPO
> or the THPO indicating whether the proposed site has any historic
> significance or whether it impacts any site or area of historic
> significance. Having this information submitted with the application
> will assist HUD in the timely completion of its environmental review.
> Sponsors must be informed to request a letter from the SHPO/THPO well
> in advance of the application deadline date to ensure a timely
> response from the SHPO/THPO.
>
> The Sponsor must submit the following in its application: (1) a copy
> of the Sponsor\'s letter to the SHPO/THPO requesting their review and
> findings with respect to any historical significance to the proposed
> project along with a statement that the SHPO/THPO failed to respond to
> your letter; OR (2) a copy of the SHPO\'s/THPO's response.
>
> If the SHPO/THPO does not respond to the Sponsor's request or responds
> that it cannot or will not comply with the requirement, the HUD Office
> must process the application in accordance with the standard
> environmental review procedures in place prior to the NOFA publication
> (i.e., file with the SHPO/THPO, allow time for a response from the
> SHPO/THPO, and then make the appropriate finding, which must be
> received prior to convening the Rating/Selection Panel).

### 22. Waivers

> **(a)** [Limit on Amendments]{.underline}**.** Per Section 891.100(d)
> of the final rule for the Section 202 and Section 811 programs, fund
> reservations may be amended only after initial closing, subject to the
> availability of funds. This change must be emphasized to Sponsors so
> that as they plan their projects they will be aware that they need to
> keep the cost of the project within the fund reservation amount.
> Should the cost exceed the fund reservation amount, it may be
> necessary for Sponsors/Owners to seek outside funding sources to cover
> any additional expenses.
>
> **(b)** [Limit on Fund Reservation Extensions]{.underline}**.**
> Section 891.165 of the final rule for the Section 202 and Section 811
> programs permits fund reservations to be extended up to 24 months on a
> limited case-by-case basis. This approval will be made at the local
> HUD Office level. Requests for fund reservation extensions in excess
> of 24 months must be approved in Headquarters.

### 23. Project Size.

> **(a)** [Minimum and Maximum Project Sizes]{.underline}**.**
>
> \(i\) For **Section 202** applications, the minimum project size for
> both metro and non-metro proposals is five units which includes the
> non-revenue manager\'s unit, if applicable. A Sponsor can propose
> scattered sites in its application as long as each site consists of at
> least five units and the Sponsor has site control for all sites. In
> such cases, for the rating criteria pertaining to the need for
> supportive housing in the area and the suitability of the site, each
> site is to be rated separately and then the scores averaged. The
> maximum of 200 units in a single Hub for projects in metropolitan and
> non-metropolitan areas is unchanged. No single application may propose
> to develop a project for more than the number of units allocated to a
> local HUD Office (in either the metropolitan or non-metropolitan
> category) or 125 units, whichever is less.
>
> \(ii\) For **Section 811** projects, the limits are as follow:

-   [Group home for persons with disabilities - The]{.underline} minimum
    number of residents in a Group Home a Sponsor can apply for is two
    and the maximum number of residents is six. There are no exceptions
    to this requirement. Each resident should occupy a bedroom unless
    another resident choose to share that same bedroom or the resident
    determines he/she needs another person to share his/her bedroom. An
    additional one-bedroom unit can be provided for a resident manager.
    The corresponding development cost limits for the larger group homes
    have been eliminated from the NOFA since, in many states, funding
    for supportive services will not be provided to persons with
    disabilities living in larger housing developments.

-   [Independent living project]{.underline} - The minimum number of
    units that can be applied for in one application is five; not
    necessarily in one structure. The maximum number of persons with
    disabilities that can be housed in an independent living project is
    14 **(See Section III.C.3.b.(1)).** An additional one or two bedroom
    unit can be provided for a resident manager. **Exceptions to the
    14-person limit may be requested by the Sponsor if it has control of
    the site (See Section III.C.3.b.(2)).**

## 

### 24. Mixed-Finance Projects.

**(a) Definition of Owner.**

> The definition was revised to indicate that for the purpose of
> supportive housing, mixed-finance Owner means a for-profit limited
> partnership (as opposed to a for-profit limited dividend organization)
> of which a single-purpose private organization (Section 202) or a
> single-purpose organization with a 501(c)(3) tax exemption (Section
> 811) is the sole general partner or is a corporation wholly owned and
> controlled by the single-purpose organization.

**(b) Additional Units Are No Longer Required for a Mixed-Finance
Project.**

> If an applicant wants to develop a mixed-finance project, it no longer
> has to propose the development of additional units over and above the
> Section 202 or Section 811 units, as applicable.
>
> **NOTE**: The term mixed-finance project, as used here and in the
> Section 202 and Section 811 NOFAs, does not include the development of
> Section 202 or Section 811 units using secondary/supplemental
> financing or the development of a mixed-use project in which the
> Section 202 or Section 811 units are mortgaged separately from the
> other uses of the structure.

**(c) Mixed-Finance Project For Additional Units.**

> If the applicant proposes to develop a mixed-finance project by
> developing additional units over and above either the Section 202 or
> Section 811 units, as applicable, it must describe in the application
> its plans and actions taken thus far to create such a mixed-finance
> project and provide any letters and the corresponding response sent to
> outside funding sources.
>
> \(i\) For the FY 2005 and an earlier funding round, if the Sponsor
> proposed and was approved for the development of a mixed-finance
> project for additional units, if the Sponsor should later be unable to
> secure the funding for the additional units or HUD disapproves of the
> proposal for mixed financing for additional units, then the Sponsor
> will not be permitted to proceed with a 202 or 811 project without
> additional units and the fund reservation will be cancelled. This is
> due to the fact that the application during those funding rounds were
> rated based on the number of additional units being proposed, thus
> increasing its competitiveness, and a later change in the proposal to
> exclude the additional units would alter the fairness of the
> competition.
>
> \(ii\) [No Capital Advance Amendment Money]{.underline}. No capital
> advance amendment money will be provided to Section 202 or Section 811
> mixed-finance projects for additional units.
>
> \(iii\) [Firm Commitment Application Requirements]{.underline}. If a
> Sponsor receives a Section 202 or Section 811 fund reservation to
> develop a mixed-finance proposal for additional units, the Sponsor
> will be required to submit the additional documents outlined in HUD's
> Final Rule on Mixed Financing, which was published in the [Federal
> Register]{.underline} on September 13, 2005 (FR-4725-F-02).
>
> \(iv\) [Section 811 Mixed-Finance Applications For Additional
> Units]{.underline}**.** The additional units cannot cause the Section
> 811 project to exceed the project size limit for the type of project
> proposed, unless the applicant requests and receives HUD approval to
> exceed the project size limit if the project will be an independent
> living project or the additional units will house people without a
> disability.
>
> \(v\) [Section 202 Mixed-Finance Applications for Additional
> Units]{.underline}. For Section 202 mixed-finance proposals for
> additional units, the additional units must be for the elderly.

### 25. Elimination of the Reference to Mixed-Use Proposals.

> The reference to proposals with a mixed-use purpose was eliminated
> beginning in the FY 2003 NOFA. However, this does not preclude the
> addition of commercial spaces in mixed-finance projects as long as
> long as the space meets the requirements for commercial spaces as
> stated in the 202 and 811 NOFAs. There are other ways that Sponsors
> can combine Section 202 and Section 811 projects with commercial

> would be a separate condominium from the commercial space, or develop
> the project under an air-rights structure so that the Section 202 or
> Section 811 capital advance would be used to purchase the air rights
> over the commercial space.
>
> To clarify that commercial facilities may be included in Section 202
> and Section 811 projects, a definition of a commercial facility is
> included in the NOFAs (See Section IV.E.4). Commercial facilities
> cannot be funded with the use of the capital advance or PRAC funds and
> must be for the benefit of the residents. The maximum space for a
> commercial facility and other community space may not exceed 10
> percent of the total project cost, unless it is a project involving
> acquisition or rehabilitation and the additional space was
> incorporated in the existing structure at the time the proposal was
> submitted to HUD. Commercial facilities must comply with the
> accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
> 1990 (ADA) as they are considered public accommodations under Title
> III of the ADA.

### 26. Eligibility of Owner Entity When Later Formed by the Sponsor.

> The American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 (P.L.
> 106-569), approved December 27, 2000, revised the definition of an
> eligible Owner entity to include a for-profit limited partnership with
> a nonprofit entity as the sole general partner. In view of the
> statutory change, an administrative decision was made to permit such
> Owners to participate in the Section 202 and Section 811 programs for
> the purposes of developing a mixed-finance project. Section III.A. of
> the Sections 202 and 811 NOFAs provides the eligibility requirements
> of the Owner entity when it is later formed by the Sponsor.
>
> **(a)** [Under the Section 202 program]{.underline}, the Owner
> corporation may be (1) a single-purpose private nonprofit organization
> that has tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) or Section
> 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (2) a nonprofit
> consumer cooperative, or (3) for purposes of developing a
> mixed-finance project, a for-profit limited partnership with a
> nonprofit entity as the sole general partner.
>
> **(b)** [Under the Section 811 program]{.underline}, the Owner
> corporation may be (1) a single-purpose nonprofit organization that
> has tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
> Code of 1986, or (2) for purposes of developing a mixed-finance
> project, a for-profit limited partnership with the nonprofit entity as
> the sole general partner.
>
> **NOTE**: The expansion of the eligibility criteria for the Owner
> entity to include a for-profit limited partnership with the nonprofit
> as the sole general partner or a corporation wholly owned and
> controlled by that organization **DOES NOT** apply to Section 202 or
> Section 811 Sponsors or Co-Sponsors. Applicant eligibility for
> purposes of applying for a Section 202 or Section 811 fund reservation
> has not changed (i.e., all Section 202 Sponsors and Co-Sponsors must
> be private nonprofit organizations or nonprofit consumer cooperatives
> and all Section 811 Sponsors and Co-Sponsors must be nonprofit
> organizations with a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue
> Service (IRS)).

## B. Changes Applicable to the Section 202 Program Only.

### 1. Allocation Formula.

> The allocation formula includes one data element from the 2000 Census.
> The data element is the number of a one-person elderly renter
> household (householder age 62 and older) with incomes at or below the
> Section 8 very low-income limit, and with poor housing conditions.

### 2. Licensed Assisted Living Projects.

> Licensed assisted living projects have been added to the list of
> ineligible activities in the Section 202 program NOFA.

### 3. Application Changes

> **(a)** [Non-Responsive Applications]{.underline}. An application will
> be considered non-responsive to the NOFA and will not be accepted for
> processing if the applicant request assistance for housing that they
> currently own or lease that is already occupied by elderly persons.
> Section IV.E., Funding Restrictions, also was revised to include this
> restriction as an ineligible activity. This revision is a
> clarification of policy and not a change.
>
> **NOTE**: The Sponsor may propose to rehabilitate an existing
> currently-owned or leased structure that does not already serve
> elderly persons, except that the refinancing of any federally-funded
> or assisted project or project insured or guaranteed by a federal
> agency is not permissible under the Section 202 NOFA. HUD does not
> consider it appropriate to utilize scarce program resources to
> refinance projects that have already received some form of assistance
> under a federal program. (For example, Section 202 or Section 202/8
> direct loan projects cannot be refinanced with capital advances and
> project rental assistance).
>
> **(b)** Exhibit 4(e)(iv), Description of How Residents will be
> Afforded Opportunities for Employment, was eliminated.

### 

### 4. Scattered Site Projects

> If a project will be a scattered site development, each site must have
> at least five units.

### 5. Accessibility Requirements

> The accessibility requirements for Section 202 projects have been
> clarified with respect to site selection. Sponsors must comply with
> Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and 24 CFR 8.4(b)(5)
> that prohibits the selection of a site or location, which has the
> purpose or effect of excluding persons with disabilities from the
> Federally-assisted activity.

### 6. Acquisition of Housing With or Without Rehabilitation

> The American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 (P.L.
> 106-569) removed the limitation on acquiring structures for Section
> 202 projects solely from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
> (formerly Resolution Trust Corporation) (FDIC/RTC). Therefore, similar
> to the Section 811 program, Sponsors may submit applications proposing
> the acquisition of housing with or without rehabilitation whether or
> not such housing is obtained from the FDIC/RTC.

### 7. Economic and Market Analysis (EMAS) Review. 

> The EMAS rating for sufficient demand was based on the project's unmet
> needs ratio. An application in a market area found to have sufficient
> demand was eligible to receive either 10 or 5 points. If not, the
> project would receive no point. No other point values were allowed.
> The ratio is calculated by dividing the number of units in the
> proposed project by the unmet need in the market area. Units intended
> for occupancy by resident managers are not to be counted. An
> application could receive 10 points if the project has an unmet needs
> ratio of 15 percent or less; 5 points if the unmet needs ratio is
> greater than 15 percent.
>
> Unmet need is defined as the number of very low-income elderly
> one-person renter households age 75 or older with housing conditions,
> as of the 2000 Census, minus the number of project-based subsidized
> rental housing units (HUD, Rural Housing Services (RHS), or applicable
> Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) that are affordable to very
> low-income elderly) provided in the area since 1999.

## C. Changes to the Section 811 Program Only.

# 

### 1. Allocation of Funds. 

> Beginning in FY 2003 allocation formula is based on the 2000 Census
> and includes one data element: the number of non-institutionalized
> persons age 16 to 64 with a disability.

### 2. Applicant Eligibility. 

> Section 603 of the Housing and Community Development Act of l992 (HCD
> Act of l992) amended Section 811 of the National Affordable Housing
> Act (NAHA) by striking the language \"incorporated private\" and thus
> expanded the definition of private nonprofit organization in Section
> 811(k)(6) to include public and unincorporated institutions or
> foundations. This amendment also requires such sponsoring
> organizations to have received tax-exempt status under section
> 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code of l986, which
> effectively limits the eligibility of public bodies. (Temporary
> clearance to receive section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is not
> permissible.) The same requirements apply to the Owner except that the
> Owner must be incorporated.

### 3. Application Changes

> **(a)** [Non-Responsive Applications]{.underline}. If an applicant
> requested assistance for housing that they currently own or lease that
> has been occupied by people with disabilities for longer than one year
> prior to the application deadline date, that application will be
> considered as non-responsive. Section IV.E., Funding Restrictions,
> also was revised to include this restriction as an ineligible
> activity, along with assisted living facilities and mobile homes
> (previously manufactured housing).
>
> **NOTE**: The Sponsor may propose to rehabilitate an existing
> currently-owned or leased structure (if the structure already serves
> persons with disabilities, it cannot have not operated as housing for
> persons with disabilities for longer than one year prior to the
> application deadline date); however, the refinancing of any federally
> funded or assisted project or project insured or guaranteed by a
> federal agency is not permissible under the Section 811 NOFA. HUD does
> not consider it appropriate to utilize scarce program resources to
> refinance projects that have already received some form of assistance
> under a federal program or that have been operating as housing for
> persons with disabilities for longer than one year prior to the
> application deadline date. (For example, Section 202, Section 202/8 or
> Section 202/PAC direct loan projects cannot be refinanced with capital
> advances and project rental assistance.)
>
> **(b)** [Additional Curable Deficiency Items]{.underline}. As a result
> of eliminating the five points for site control, the following parts
> of Exhibit 4 are now curable since they don't affect the rating of the
> application:

-   Exhibit 4(d)(i) Evidence of site control

-   Exhibit 4(d)(ii) Evidence site is free of limitations, restrictions
    or reverters

-   Exhibit 4(d)(iv) Evidence of compliance with the URA site
    notification requirement

-   Exhibit 4(d)(vii) Phase I ESA

-   Exhibit 4(d)(viii) Asbestos Statement or Report

-   Exhibit 4(d)(ix) Letter to the State Historic

-   Preservation Officer/Tribal Historic

-   Preservation Officer (SHPO/THPO) and the Response from SHPO/THPO or
    a statement that they didn't respond

-   Exhibit 4(d)(x) Willingness to seek an alternate site

-   Exhibit 4(d)(xi) Exception to project size limit

-   Exhibit 4(e)(ii) Steps undertaken to identify site

-   Exhibit 4(e)(iv) Status of the sale of the site

-   Exhibit 4(e)(v) Whether the site would involve relocation

> **(c)** [Exhibit 7 of the Application]{.underline}. Exhibit 7, which
> must be completed if the site will involve relocation, does not apply
> to Section 811 applications that are "site identified".
>
> **(d)** In addition to addressing how their project will implement
> practical solutions that will assist residents in achieving
> independent living, educational opportunities and improved living
> conditions in Exhibit 3(g), the Sponsor must also address how it will
> assist residents to achieve economic empowerment.
>
> **(e)** The Supportive Services Plan is a curable deficiency.

### 4. Valuation Review of Market Need/Demand.

> In Rating Factor 2, Need/Extent of the Problem, if the Valuation staff
> determines that there is sufficient sustainable long-term demand for
> additional supportive housing for persons with disabilities in the
> area to be served, the project is to be awarded 10 points. If not, the
> project is to be awarded 0 points. No other point values are allowed.

### 5. Development Cost Limits for Group Homes

> Section IV(E)(2)(c) of the Section 811 NOFA provides for increases in
> the development cost limits for Section 811 group homes where it can
> be documented that high land costs limit or prohibit project
> feasibility. The NOFA provides an example of acceptable documentation,
> which includes evidence of at least three land sales which have
> actually taken place (listed prices for land are not acceptable)
> within the last two years in the area where the project is to be
> built. For FY 2006, the average cost of the documented sales must
> exceed 10 percent of the development cost limits for the project in
> order for an increase to be considered.

### 6. Applications Proposing a Mixed-Finance Project

> Clarification was made to state that only applications with control of
> an approvable site are permitted to request consideration of a
> proposal involving mixed-financing.

### 7. Site Related Issues

> **(a)** Site Control. Applications that are submitted with evidence of
> site control where both the evidence and site(s) are approvable will
> no longer receive five points for site control. Instead, such
> applications that receive at least 75 points before the addition of
> bonus points will be placed in Category A. Applications that are
> submitted with evidence of site control where either the evidence or
> the site is not approvable, as well as applications that come in with
> an identified site(s) or with a mix of sites under control and sites
> identified, that receive at least 75 points before the addition of
> bonus points will be placed in Category B. All applications in
> Category A will be selected before the selection of any applications
> in Category B, both at the Program Center and Multifamily Hub levels.
> This change was necessary for two reasons. First, it was necessary to
> free up some points for the addition of two rating criteria applicable
> to the policy priorities of ending chronic homelessness and removing
> regulatory barriers to affordable housing. Second, with the addition
> of the two policy priorities just mentioned, it would have been more
> difficult for applications to attain the minimum of 75 points
> necessary for selection if we didn't convert to a selection preference
> rather than the point system for meeting the statutory selection
> criterion of "the extent to which the Sponsor has control of the
> site".
>
> **(b)** Site Scoring Issues**.** Applications containing satisfactory
> evidence of control for all proposed sites and all proposed sites are
> approvable by Valuation (a score of one or higher for Criterion 3(a),
> Site Approvability) will be placed in Category A for selection
> purposes as indicated above.
>
> **If the site control is NOT acceptable** in a single site
> application, the application will be placed in Category B for
> selection purposes but is still rated by Valuation (VAL) for Site
> Approvability (Criterion 3(a)) and by the Office of Fair Housing and
> Equal Opportunity (FHEO) for the suitability of the site in promoting
> a greater choice of housing opportunities for persons with
> disabilities, including minorities (Criterion 3(c)).
>
> **If either VAL or FHEO REJECTS the site** in a single site
> application, the application will receive zero points for Criteria
> 3(a) and 3(c). The application will be placed in Category B for
> selection purposes as long as the Sponsor indicated in Exhibit
> 4(d)(xi) that it is willing to seek an alternate site. Otherwise, the
> application will be rejected.
>
> **NOTE:** For a scattered site application to receive points for
> Criteria 3(a) and 3(c), **all** proposed sites must be under
> acceptable control and be approvable.
>
> **(c)** [Review of Sites under Control/Sites Identified]{.underline}.
> Sites under control and sites identified will be evaluated using the
> same review factors. However, applications with sites identified will
> have to specifically include information on how the site will promote
> greater housing opportunities for persons with disabilities, including
> minorities, affirmatively further fair housing and any other
> information on the suitability of the site for persons with
> disabilities.
>
> **(d)** [Rejection of a Site Identified Application]{.underline}. If,
> in the case of a site identified application, the evidence provided in
> the site description is not sufficient to lead to the conclusion that
> the Sponsor will have site control within six months, the application
> will be rejected.
>
> Although identified sites are **NOT** to receive an environmental
> review, if the local HUD Office has knowledge about an identified site
> that would result in rejection of the site (e.g., it is located in a
> community that is already impacted with assisted housing), the
> application is to be rejected on the basis that it is unlikely that
> the Sponsor will be able to obtain control of an approvable site
> within six months of fund reservation. The reason for treating
> Sponsors who submit applications with site control where the site is
> unacceptable differently from Sponsors who submit applications with
> identified sites where the site is unacceptable, is that the
> Department can be more reasonably assured that Sponsors who were able
> to obtain site control during the application preparation period will
> be able to obtain site control within six months of fund reservation
> than are Sponsors who were only able to identify sites during this
> period. The statute requires that the Department have \"reasonable
> assurances that the applicant will own or have control of an
> acceptable site for the proposed housing not later than six months
> after notification of an award for assistance\".
>
> **(e)** [Specific Street Address Required]{.underline}**.** Sponsors
> must provide the specific street address of the site. For
> site-identified applications, the location must include the street
> address or block or lot number(s). If the Sponsor proposes one or more
> condominium units, the unit number(s) must also be provided. The NOFA
> clarifies that if an application failed to provide the required
> information, that application will be rejected.
>
> **(f)** [Zoning]{.underline}. Sponsors must provide evidence that the
> proposed projects are either permissible under applicable zoning
> ordinances or regulations or describe action that is required to make
> the projects permissible as well as the basis for the belief that the
> proposed action will be completed successfully before issuance of the
> firm commitment application. Furthermore, Sponsors should be aware
> that, under certain circumstances, the Fair Housing Act requires
> localities to make reasonable accommodations to their zoning
> ordinances or regulations to offer persons with disabilities an
> opportunity to live in an area of their choice. If the Sponsor is
> relying upon a theory of reasonable accommodation to satisfy the
> zoning requirement, then the Sponsor must clearly articulate the basis
> for its reasonable accommodation theory.
>
> **(g)** [Relaxation of Site Location Requirements]{.underline}**.**
> Under Section 891.320(b) of the final rule for the Section 811
> program, the site and neighborhood standards were revised to provide
> more flexibility to the site location requirements for Section 811
> housing. The final rule now indicates that Section 811 housing
> [should]{.underline}, rather than [must]{.underline}, be located where
> other family housing is located and [should not]{.underline}, rather
> than [must]{.underline} [not]{.underline}, be located adjacent to or
> in areas concentrated by schools or day-care centers for persons with
> disabilities, workshops, medical facilities, or other housing
> primarily serving persons with disabilities. Local HUD Offices will
> make these determinations and must ensure that, in doing so, the
> selected site will facilitate the integration of persons with
> disabilities into the surrounding community. The requirement that not
> more than one group home be located on one site and two group homes
> not be next to each other remains in Section 891.320(b), since the
> prohibitions are statutory.
>
> **(h)** [Scattered-site Applications]{.underline}**.** If Sponsors are
> applying for a scattered-site project consisting of different project
> types (e.g., group home and independent living project) they may do so
> in one application. In order to come up with an overall rating for the
> rating criteria pertaining to the need for supportive housing in the
> area and the approvability and suitability of the site, each site is
> to be rated separately and then the scores averaged.

### 8. Restrictions Removed from Acquisition Projects. 

> In Section 891.305 of the final rule, the definition of
> \"acquisition\" was revised. The restriction to group homes and
> Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation/Resolution Trust Corporation
> properties was removed so that any housing type may now be acquired.
> The restriction to properties that are at least three years old was
> also removed.

### 9. Project Size

> **(a)** [Exceptions to the 14-Person Project Size
> Limit]{.underline}**.** The provision allowing Sponsors to request
> exceptions to the 14-person project size limit for independent living
> projects was added back into the NOFA beginning in FY 2003. Only
> Sponsors who submit an application for an independent living project
> with site control can submit a request to exceed the 14-person project
> size limit. Such requests are submitted as part of Exhibit 4(d)(xii)
> of the Application.
>
> **(b)** [Restriction to Project Size Limits for
> Independent]{.underline} [Living Projects]{.underline}**.** The NOFA
> clarifies that if a Sponsor proposes to place an independent living
> project on the same or an adjacent site already containing housing for
> persons with disabilities, then the total number of persons housed in
> both the existing and proposed project cannot exceed 14.
>
> **(c)** [Project Size Limits]{.underline}**.**
>
> \(i\) Independent Living Project. The project size limit for an
> independent living project is 14 units plus one unit (one- or
> two-bedroom) for a resident manager.
>
> \(ii\) Mixed Project Type Applications. It has been clarified that
> applications proposing both a group home and an independent living
> project must request the minimum number of units per project type
> (i.e., two units for a group home and five units for an independent
> living project).
>
> \(iii\) Section III.C.3.b.(3). This section was revised to state that
> there would be no exceptions to the maximum project size limit of six
> persons with disabilities in a group home.
>
> **(d)** [Resident Manager's Unit]{.underline}. In an independent
> living project, the Sponsor can designate either a one- or two-bedroom
> unit for a resident manager. In a group home, the size of the resident
> manager's unit is limited to a one-bedroom unit.
>
> **(e)** [Minimum size of Group Home]{.underline}. The minimum size of
> a group home has been reduced to two persons to more closely resemble
> shared housing in a community. A two-person cost limit has been
> provided. A Sponsor can submit an application requesting two units if
> it is proposing to develop one group home for two persons with
> disabilities.

### 10. Supportive Services.

> **(a)** [Residents\' Choice in Supportive Services]{.underline}
> [Plan]{.underline}. Since Sponsors cannot require potential residents
> to accept any supportive services as a condition of occupancy, they
> must design a Supportive Services Plan that offers potential residents
> the following choices: (1) to take responsibility for choosing and
> acquiring their own services; (2) to receive any supportive services
> made available directly or indirectly by the Sponsor; or (3) to not
> receive any supportive services at all. Such a Supportive Services
> Plan will offer maximum choice for residents while meeting the
> statutory requirement that Section 811 housing provide supportive
> services that address the individual health, mental health, and other
> needs of the residents.
>
> **(b)** [Supportive Services Certification]{.underline}**.** The
> Sponsor is required to submit a copy of its Supportive Services Plan
> and Supportive Services Certification to the appropriate state or
> local agency for review of the Supportive Services Plan and completion
> of the Supportive Services Certification which is a requirement of the
> Section 811 application. The Supportive Services Certification
> provides HUD with information about whether the Sponsor\'s Plan is
> well designed to serve the individual needs of persons with
> disabilities. Furthermore, it indicates whether the proposed housing
> is consistent with state or local policies or plans governing the
> development and operation of housing to serve persons with
> disabilities. In addition, the appropriate state or local agency must
> indicate on the Supportive Services Certification whether the Sponsor
> demonstrated that the necessary supportive services will be available
> on a consistent, long-term basis.
>
> If the Supportive Services Certification is missing or incomplete, the
> Sponsor must be notified that it is a curable deficiency and be given
> the 14-day period to have the appropriate State or local agency
> complete the Certification. If the Supportive Services Certification
> is not received during the curable deficiency period the application
> must be rejected but must still undergo technical processing. If the
> Certification comes in during the curable deficiency period and the
> appropriate State or local agency did not indicate whether the
> Supportive Services Plan is well designed to meet the needs of the
> residents, or indicated that it was **not** well designed, or
> indicates that the provision of supportive services will not enhance
> independent living success or promote the dignity of the residents,
> the application must also be rejected.
>
> If the appropriate state or local agency failed to respond to either
> one or both of the other two questions (whether or not the housing is
> consistent with State or local policies or plans governing the
> development and operation of housing for persons with disabilities
> population and whether or not the supportive services will be
> available on a consistent, long-term basis), the Project Manager must
> review the Supportive Services Plan and respond to these two
> questions. If the appropriate State or local agency or, if necessary,
> the Project Manager, determines that the housing is inconsistent with
> state or local policies or plans governing the development and
> operation of housing to serve the proposed population and the
> appropriate State or local agency will be a primary funding or
> referral source for the project or is required to license the project;
> or, that supportive services will not be provided on a consistent,
> long-term basis, the application must be rejected.
>
> Sponsors must be reminded to send their Supportive Services Plans to
> the appropriate state or local agency in ample time so that the agency
> can review them, complete the Supportive Services Certifications and
> return them to the Sponsors for inclusion in their applications to
> HUD.
>
> **(c)** An addition has been made to the certification that addresses
> whether the provision of supportive services will enhance independent
> living success and promote the dignity of those who will access the
> proposed project.
>
> **(d)** [Access to Community Services and Amenities]{.underline}**.**
> Proposed project sites that are either in close proximity to community
> services and amenities or accessible to them other than by sole means
> of a project residence or private vehicle will be rated more favorably
> than sites located in areas where the residents must be dependent upon
> a project residence or private vehicle as their only means of
> accessing such services and amenities.
>
> **(e)** [Involvement of Centers for Independent
> Living]{.underline}**.** In order to encourage Sponsors to work with
> their local Center for Independent Living they are required to
> indicate in their applications the extent to which they involved their
> local Center for Independent Living in the development of their
> applications. In addition, the NOFA and Application identify local
> Centers for Independent Living and Statewide Independent Living
> Councils as examples of organizations from which they can obtain
> letters or support for their projects to include in their
> applications.
>
> **(f)** The requirements for the Supportive Services Plan have been
> streamlined to coincide with the philosophy that residents must be
> given the freedom to choose whether they want to (i.) receive
> supportive services available in the community, (ii.) receive
> supportive services available to them from the Sponsor directly or
> coordinated by the Sponsor, or (iii.) receive no supportive services
> at all. If the Sponsor will be providing any supportive services
> directly or coordinating the availability of any supportive services,
> they must include a letter in their Supportive Services Plan that the
> services they will either make available directly or coordinate their
> availability and describe how the coordination will be implemented;
> provide an assurance that any supportive services made available to
> the residents will be based on their individual needs; and, state
> their commitment to make the supportive services available or
> coordinate their availability for the life of the project.
>
> **(g)** [Opportunities for Employment]{.underline}. Sponsors must
> include in their Supportive Services Plans a description of how the
> residents will be afforded opportunities for employment.
>
> **(h)** [Experience with Integrated Housing
> Developments]{.underline}**.** When describing any rental housing
> projects sponsored, owned and operated by the Sponsor as part of the
> description of its housing and/or supportive services experience, the
> Sponsor should include its experience with integrated housing
> developments.
>
> **(i)** [Contact for Agency Providing Independent Living
> Services]{.underline}. The State Independent Living Council and the
> local Center for Independent Living must be included on the list of
> State and local agency contacts provided to Sponsors for submission of
> the Supportive Services Plan of their applications.

### 11. Occupancy Issues.

> **(a)** [Mixed Occupancy]{.underline}. In the application submission
> requirements, the Sponsor is asked to specify whether the proposed
> housing will serve persons with physical disabilities, developmental
> disabilities or chronic mental illness, or any combination of the
> three.
>
> **(b)** [Restricted Occupancy]{.underline}**.** Sponsors may request
> approval to limit occupancy to a subcategory of one of the three main
> disability categories (i.e., physically disabled, developmentally
> disabled, chronically mentally ill). For example, autism is a
> subcategory of developmental disability. If requesting approval to
> limit occupancy, Sponsors must submit more detailed information in
> their Supportive Service Plans for HUD to determine whether approval
> is justified. Such information includes:

-   a description of the population to which occupancy will be limited;

-   an explanation of why it is necessary to limit occupancy;

-   how restricted occupancy will promote the goals of the Section 811
    program;

-   why the needs of the proposed occupants cannot be met in a more
    integrated setting;

-   a description of the Sponsor\'s experience in providing housing
    and/or supportive services to the proposed occupants; and

-   a description of how the Sponsor will ensure that the occupants will
    be integrated into the neighborhood and surrounding community. The
    Project Manager (PM) will be responsible for reviewing requests for
    restricted occupancy and the PM Technical Processing Review and
    Findings Memorandum has been modified accordingly. If the PM
    determines that approval of restricted occupancy is justified, a
    memorandum to the file shall be developed for the signature of the
    Supervisory Project Manager and attached to the PM Technical
    Processing Review and Findings Memorandum. If the Sponsor is
    selected for funding, the Notification of Selection Letter must
    include the information in the Supervisory Project Manager\'s
    approval memorandum.

> **(c)** [Single Occupancy Bedrooms in Group Homes]{.underline}.
> Sponsors proposing to develop a group home may not require residents
> to share a bedroom. Double occupancy bedrooms are only allowed if a
> resident indicates a preference or need to share a bedroom with
> another resident.

### 12. Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) are no Longer Eligible

> Sponsors may no longer propose the development of an ICF. Due to the
> quasi-institutional nature of an ICF, which is contrary to
> programmatic goals, the Department decided to eliminate its
> eligibility for development under the program.

### 

### 13. Davis-Bacon Act.

> Davis-Bacon Labor standards apply to housing containing 12 or more
> units. A group home is considered as one unit for this purpose;
> therefore, the labor standards do not apply. Independent living
> projects with 12 or more units **are** covered by the standards.

### 14. Lead-Based Paint.

> The requirements of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42
> U.S.C.4821-4846) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 35, and
> 24 CFR section 891.325 apply to all Section 811 dwelling units except
> as indicated in the aforementioned regulations.

### 15. Accessibility.

> All Section 811 applications, whether proposing new construction,
> rehabilitation, or acquisition with or without rehabilitation, must
> adhere to the provisions of 24 CFR 891.310. The applications must also
> adhere to the provisions of 24 CFR 8.4(b)(5) which prohibits the
> selection of a site or location which has the purpose or effect of
> excluding persons with disabilities from the project. Sponsors who
> choose to use existing structures must make sure that the structures
> can be made accessible without resulting in infeasible projects.

### 

### 16. Project Type Name Change.

> The term \"independent living facility\" has been changed to
> \"independent living project\" to eliminate the institutional
> connotation associated with the term \"facility.

# IV. SITES LOCATED IN FLOODPLAINS OR WETLANDS.

> Due to the length of the review process required for all sites that
> are located in floodplains or (for new construction projects) wetlands
> (see Attachment 6, paragraph A.5.), HUD Offices may not be able to
> complete their reviews in time for the applications to be considered
> for funding. Therefore, Sponsors should take this into consideration
> when selecting project sites and put forth all efforts to locate sites
> that are not in floodplains or (for new construction projects)
> wetlands.

# V. FY 2006 CAPITAL ADVANCE AUTHORITY ASSIGNMENTS

## A. Fair Share Factors.

> Although not subject to the section 213(d) requirements, a formula is
> still used for allocating Section 202 and Section 811 funds. The
> allocation formula was developed to reflect the \"relevant
> characteristics of prospective program participants\", as specified in
> 24 CFR 791.402(a).

### 1. Section 202

> The FY 2006 formula for allocating Section 202 capital advance funds
> consists of the following data element: the number of one-person
> elderly renter households (householder age 62 and older) with incomes
> at or below the applicable Section 8 very low-income limit, and with
> housing conditions. The data elements were taken from the 2000 Census.
> The formula focuses the allocation on targeting the funds based on the
> unmet needs of elderly renter households who pay excessive rents and
> who have very low incomes.
>
> A fair share factor is developed for each metropolitan and
> non-metropolitan portion of each local HUD Office jurisdiction by
> dividing the number of renter households for the jurisdiction by the
> total for the United States. The resulting percentage for each local
> HUD Office jurisdiction is then adjusted to reflect the relative cost
> of providing housing among the HUD Office jurisdictions. The adjusted
> needs percentage for the applicable metropolitan or non-metropolitan
> portion of each jurisdiction is then multiplied by respective total
> remaining capital advance funds available nationwide.
>
> Eighty-five percent of the total capital advance amount is allocated
> to metropolitan areas and 15 percent to non-metropolitan areas. Each
> HUD Office jurisdiction receives sufficient capital advance funds for
> a minimum of 20 units in metropolitan areas and 5 units in
> non-metropolitan areas. The total amount of capital advance funds to
> support these minimum set-asides is subtracted from the respective
> (metropolitan or non-metropolitan) total capital advance amount
> available. The remainder is fair shared to each HUD Office
> jurisdiction whose original fair share exceeded the minimum set-aside,
> based on its respective fair share factor.
>
> **NOTE:** The allocations for metropolitan and non-metropolitan
> portions of the Multifamily Hub or Program Center jurisdictions
> reflect the most current definitions of metropolitan and
> non-metropolitan areas, as defined by the Office of Management and
> Budget.

### 

### 2. Section 811.

> The FY 2006 formula for allocating Section 811 capital advance funds
> consists of one data element from the 2000 Census - the number of
> non-institutionalized persons age 16 to 64 with a disability.
>
> The fair share factors were developed by taking the number of persons
> age 16 to 64 for each state, or state portion, of each HUD Office
> jurisdiction as a percent of the data element from the 2000, as
> described above, for the total United States. The resulting percentage
> for each local HUD Office is then adjusted to reflect the relative
> cost of providing housing among the local HUD Office jurisdictions.
> The adjusted needs percentage for each local HUD Office jurisdiction
> is then multiplied by the total amount of capital advance funds
> available nationwide.
>
> Each HUD Office jurisdiction receives sufficient capital advance funds
> for a minimum of 10 units. The total amount of capital advance funds
> to support this minimum set-aside is then subtracted from the total
> capital advance available. The remainder is fair shared to each HUD
> Office jurisdiction whose original fair share exceeded the minimum
> set-aside, based on the allocation formula fair share factors
> described above.

## B. Program Fund Assignments. 

> As done in prior years, HUD Headquarters will assign the 202/811
> capital advance and PRAC funds for the FY 2006 applications selected
> for funding by electronic means to the Ft. Worth Accounting Center
> upon completion of the HUD Headquarters' review.

# VI. LOCAL HUD OFFICE ALLOCATIONS

## A. Allocation of Funds.

### 1. Section 202.

> The Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989
> (HUD Reform Act) provides that allocations of funds be made to the
> smallest practicable areas consistent with the delivery of assistance
> through meaningful competition. The HUD Reform Act also states that
> program funding under Section 202 shall be allocated in a manner that
> ensures selections of projects of sufficient size to accommodate
> facilities for supportive services appropriate to the needs of the
> population to be served. To meet the intent of the Reform Act, the
> following rules will apply to the FY 2006 Section 202 allocations.
>
> **(a)** Offices are required to establish allocation areas only for
> the respective metropolitan and non-metropolitan assignments of
> capital advance authority for the entire office jurisdiction.
> Therefore, all applications received from metropolitan areas will
> compete against each other and all applications from non-metropolitan
> areas will compete against each other.
>
> **(b)** There is a minimum proposal size of **5** units and a maximum
> of **200** units for projects in metropolitan and non-metropolitan
> areas. **Offices may NOT establish their own minimum or maximum
> application sizes.**
>
> Where the office allocation in either the metropolitan or
> non-metropolitan areas is less than 125, the maximum proposal size
> will be limited by the allocated amount. Among other requirements, to
> be considered responsive to the NOFA, an applicant must not request a
> larger number of units for the specific geographical area
> (metropolitan or non-metropolitan) than permitted in the NOFA (see
> Attachment 1) and must not exceed the maximum number of units per
> application as established herein.

### 2. Section 811.

> The allocations for Section 811 housing for persons with disabilities
> are not subject to the Section 213(d) requirements including the
> control on non-metropolitan funding and the requirement for a formula
> allocation. Accordingly, there will not be any division of funding
> between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas. We will, however,
> continue funding the program on a formula basis.
>
> In accordance with 24 CFR part 791, the Assistant Secretary has
> allocated the amounts available for capital advances for supportive
> housing for persons with disabilities for FY 2006. To be responsive to
> the NOFA, a Sponsor must request at least five units if proposing to
> develop an independent living project (all five units do not have to
> be on one site) or two units if proposing to develop a group home. The
> Sponsor cannot request more units in a Field Office jurisdiction than
> allocated to that office in the NOFA (see Attachment 2).

## B. Project Rental Assistance Contract Funds.

> The Department makes the initial reservation of project rental
> assistance contract funds for Section 202 and Section 811 applications
> selected for funding for three years based on the current operating
> cost standards.

## C. Local HUD Office Funding Notifications.

> This paragraph expands on Paragraph 2-1 of Handbooks 4571.2 (Section
> 811) or 4571.3 REV-1 (Section 202) as appropriate. All offices shall
> issue Funding Notifications in accordance with this paragraph and the
> above Handbook references (see Attachments 7 and 8 for Funding
> Notification Formats). The funding notification formats shall be used
> by all offices with no deviations.
>
> Although previous advertising requirements have been eliminated,
> offices must notify potential applicants by following the instructions
> in Handbooks 4571.2 and 4571.3 REV-1 and Attachments 6, 7 and 8 of
> this Notice.

# VII. AWARD ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION

## A. Notification to Program Applicants.

> Sponsors must be advised that all applications submitted under the FY
> 2006 program must be in conformance with the [Federal
> Register]{.underline} SuperNOFA, Regulations, Handbook and local HUD
> Office Funding Notifications. To this end, FY 2006 applications must
> follow the format provided in the Section 202 or Section 811 NOFA, as
> applicable, which is in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
> 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

## B. Prior Successful Applicants.

> Sponsors applying for a Section 202 or Section 811 fund reservation
> who have received a Section 202 or Section 811 fund reservation, as
> applicable, within the last three funding cycles are **NOT** required
> to submit the following:

-   Articles of Incorporation, constitution, or other organizational
    documents;

-   By-laws; and

-   IRS tax exemption ruling.

> Instead, these Sponsors must submit the project number of the last
> appropriate application selected and the local HUD Office to which it
> was submitted. If there have been any modifications or additions to
> the subject documents, Sponsors must indicate such, and submit the new
> material.

## C. Release of Information on Ratings and Rankings.

> Release of information regarding selections or non-selections is
> prohibited until after funding announcements are made. Local HUD
> Offices may not release selection letters until authorized to do so by
> Headquarters. It is the policy of the Department to operate an open
> selection system. Release of rating and ranking information to Section
> 202 and Section 811 applicants or their authorized representatives is
> permitted, but only after the release of selection letters and, for FY
> 2006, in response to a written request from the applicant to the
> Director of Multifamily Housing at least 30 days after the awards are
> publicly announced. If standard rating criteria forms or technical
> processing review and findings memoranda are requested, they may also
> be released. However, the name of the reviewer must be deleted from
> the copy released to the applicant.
>
> The above information may also be released to any member of the public
> requesting such information under the Freedom of Information Act
> (FOIA).

# VIII. OTHER INFORMATION

## A. Consolidated Plan Certification.

> Each applicant must submit a certification by the jurisdiction in
> which the proposed project is to be located that the application is
> consistent with the jurisdiction\'s HUD-approved Consolidated Plan for
> FY 2006. The certification is to be signed by the unit of general
> local government if it is required to have, or has, a complete
> Consolidated Plan. Otherwise, the certification may be made by the
> State, or if the project will be located within the jurisdiction of a
> unit of general local government authorized to use an abbreviated
> strategy, by the unit of general local government if it is willing to
> prepare such a plan.
>
> All Consolidated Plan Certifications must be made by a public official
> responsible for submitting the plan to HUD. All plan certifications
> must be submitted as part of the application by the application's
> submission deadline set forth in the NOFA. The Plan regulations are
> published in 24 CFR Part 91.

## B. Workshops

> To the extent possible, experienced program and technical staff should
> conduct the workshops to provide guidance, particularly for new
> program participants. Since first time applicants may have difficulty
> with the complexity of the Section 202 or Section 811 program, Offices
> are urged to conduct pre-workshops (to be held prior to the start of
> the regularly scheduled session) for first-time applicants. These
> applicants should attend the pre-workshop and remain for the regular
> session. Particular emphasis should be placed on the new requirements
> for the FY 2006 program.
>
> It should also be pointed out to potential applicants at the workshop
> that in the Forms Section of the General Section of the SuperNOFA
> there is an optional form for them to fill out with their comments and
> suggestions about the NOFA and the Application which they can include
> as part of their applications or submit separately to HUD
> Headquarters, 451 7th Street, SW, Washington, DC, 20410, Office of
> Departmental Grants Management and Oversight, Room 3156, with a copy
> to the Office of Housing Assistance and Grant Administration, Room
> 6142, Attention: Section 202/811. Local HUD Offices are also
> encouraged to complete this form and return it to HUD Headquarters at
> the above address, along with any Sponsor-completed forms that may
> have been attached to applications.

## 

## C. Minority Business Enterprise Goals.

> The Department encourages participation by the Minority Business
> Enterprise (MBE) sector in HUD programs and establishes MBE goals each
> fiscal year. Therefore, MBE goals (expressed in dollars and units)
> have been established for the Section 202 and Section 811 FY 2006
> funding round as set forth in Attachments 10 and 11. (These goals do
> not affect the rating of Section 202 or Section 811 applications.)
> Field Offices are expected to encourage participation by minority
> Sponsors. A minority Sponsor is one in which more than 50 percent of
> the board members are minority based on the following
> codes/categories:

-   2 - Black

-   3 - Hispanic

-   4 - Native American

-   5 - Asian Pacific

-   6 - Asian Indian

Fiscal Year 2006 Policy for Section 202 and

Section 811 Applications Processing and Selections

The modifications outlined below eliminate the need for technical review
documents being forwarded to Headquarters for review.

Separate selection lists, lists of unfunded but approvable applications
and lists of applications that receive base scores below **75** for the
Section 202 and Section 811 programs are still to be submitted to
Headquarters prior to completion of the selection and announcement
process. See Attachment 3 for specific instructions regarding the
selection materials that must be submitted to Headquarters.

Residual funds not used by Multifamily Hubs for each program shall be
identified in the transmittal memorandum to accompany the above lists.
These funds will be recaptured by Headquarters and will be used to
restore units, where possible, to projects that had units reduced in
order to be selected and to fund additional applications based on field
office ratings, beginning with the highest rated application nationwide,
ensuring equity among field offices as previously described.

Responsibility for notifying State Points of Contact of
non-accommodations has been transferred from Headquarters to the local
HUD Offices.

The following revised review, rating and selection procedures are to be
used in place of Paragraphs 3-51 through 3-58 of Handbooks 4571.3 REV-1
and 4571.2.

A. [Considerations Prior to Forwarding Applications to the]{.underline}
[Rating/Selection Panel]{.underline}.

> 1\. Applications that are determined to be technical rejects after the
> conclusion of the appeal process, will receive a final score of 0 and
> cannot be considered by the Rating/Selection Panel.
>
> **NOTE:** Sponsors whose applications are found technically
> unapprovable must be promptly notified when all technical reviews are
> complete. The letters shall be sent by certified mail and shall
> enumerate all reasons for technical rejection including missing or
> incomplete Exhibits identified during the initial screening for
> curable deficiencies period but were not requested due to their impact
> on the rating of the applications. Sponsors shall have 14 calendar
> days from the date of the letter to appeal the rejection.
>
> 2\. The selection process cannot take place until after receipt of
> comments from the State Single Point of Contact or upon expiration of
> the comment period, whichever occurs first.
>
> 3\. HUD Offices should alert the Rating/Selection Panel of any
> applications with adverse State comments.
>
> 4\. The Environmental Assessment and Compliance Findings for the
> Related Laws Form (Form 4128) must be completed for applications with
> satisfactory evidence of site control, all compliance findings made,
> including the Finding of No Significant Impact, and properly executed
> by the Appraiser and Supervisory Project Manager/ Operations Director
> and Hub Director/Program Center Director before technical processing
> can be completed. For projects that require the 8-Step process
> identified in 24 CFR Part 55 (Floodplains/ Wetlands), the Form 4128
> should indicate that Steps 1 through 6 have been completed,
> documentation attached. Also, if the application does not include a
> letter from the SHPO indicating that the site has no historic
> significance, and does not impact on a site or area of historic
> significance, the applicable determination under Historic Preservation
> procedures must be made and documented by HUD Office staff. After
> completion of technical processing, the Form 4128 must be executed by
> the Supervisory Project Manager and attached to the Valuation
> Technical Processing Review and Findings Memorandum.
>
> 5\. HUD Offices should have initiated the eight-step process for sites
> located in the 100-year floodplain (500-year floodplain for critical
> actions) and/or, in the case of sites for new construction, a wetland,
> prior to submission to the Rating/Selection Panel. The first six steps
> **must** be completed prior to the convening of the Rating/Selection
> Panel.

B. [Notification of Technical Rejection]{.underline}. Upon completion of
technical processing, a copy of the Technical Reject Report generated
from DAP and a copy of each technical rejection letter shall be sent to
Headquarters, Office of Housing Assistance and Grant Administration,
room 6142, Attention: 202/811. See the processing schedule in Attachment
1 for the date they should be submitted to Headquarters. Also, include
copies of any appeal letters with the HUD Offices' responses to the
appeal letters.

C. [Determining Approvable Applications]{.underline}.

> 1\. [Establishing the Rating/Selection Panel]{.underline}. The HUD
> Office will convene a Rating/Selection Panel to assure each Section
> 202 and Section 811 application is approvable, to complete final
> ratings and to rate and rank the approvable applications.
>
> 2\. [Composition of Panel]{.underline}. The Panel will include the
> Project Manager and staff from the following Technical Disciplines:
>
> a\. Valuation
>
> b\. Architectural and Engineering
>
> c\. Economic and Market Analysis
>
> d\. Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
>
> e\. Community Planning and Development
>
> 3\. [Area of Competition]{.underline}.
>
> a\. [Section 202]{.underline}. All metropolitan applications will
> compete against each other and all non-metropolitan applications will
> compete against each other within each local HUD Office\'s
> jurisdiction.
>
> b\. [Section 811]{.underline}. All applications in Category A
> (applications with legal evidence of an approvable site) will compete
> against each other and all applications in Category B (applications
> with site control where the evidence of site control and/or site is
> not approvable, site-identified applications and scattered-site
> applications with a combination of identified sites and sites under
> control) will compete against each other within each local HUD
> Office's jurisdiction.
>
> 4\. [Review for Consistency]{.underline}. If the Supervisory Project
> Manager\'s review reveals that a particular Technical Discipline\'s
> review comments have violated or are inconsistent with any outstanding
> instructions, the Supervisory Project Manager shall take corrective
> action prior to making selections. Such items should be noted and
> maintained in the application file.
>
> 5\. [Recommended Scores]{.underline}. Based on the findings from the
> Technical Processing Review and Findings Memoranda, the Project
> Manager will complete the appropriate Standard Rating Criteria Form
> (Attachment 14 for 202, Attachment 15 for 811), to be used by the
> Rating/Selection Panel in assigning final ratings to all approvable
> applications.
>
> 6\. [Rank Order]{.underline}. All approvable applications are to be
> placed in rank order.

D. [Selection of Applications]{.underline}. The Panel shall select
applications according to the following process:

> 1\. [Descending Order]{.underline}. Applications shall be selected in
> descending order which most reasonably approximate the number of units
> and capital advance authority allocated to each HUD Office without
> skipping over a higher rated application. For Section 202, this
> process must be done separately for the metropolitan and
> non-metropolitan categories. For Section 811, all applications in
> Category A must be selected before the selection of applications in
> Category B.
>
> 2\. [Units and Dollars Control]{.underline}. The selection process is
> controlled by the number of units and dollars stated in the NOFA.
> Therefore, a HUD Office may not select more units nor approve more
> funds than it was allocated.
>
> **NOTE:** The only exception to this is if the HUD Office can select
> only one application (for Section 202, this means one application per
> metropolitan and non-metropolitan allocation category) and, although
> the units are within the total units allocated to the office the
> capital advance required is more than the capital advance amount
> allocated to the office. In this case, the Hub should fully fund this
> application first with any residual capital advance funds. If the Hub
> should not have sufficient capital advance funds to make the
> application whole, it will be fully funded with residual funds in
> Headquarters. In any event, the Program Center must address the
> situation in its transmittal memorandum to the Hub and the Hub must
> address it in its transmittal memorandum to Headquarters, indicating
> whether it was able to fully fund the application or whether it will
> need to be fully funded at the Headquarters level.
>
> **REMINDER:** **In calculating the capital advance amount, you are to
> use the development cost limits and high cost percentages that are
> currently in effect. However, in applying the high cost percentages,
> you may use a percentage that is higher or lower than that assigned to
> your office if it is needed to provide a capital advance amount that
> is comparable to what it typically costs to develop a 202 or 811
> project in your area.**
>
> 3\. [Minimum Score]{.underline}. Only those applications that receive
> a score of **75** base points or above may be considered for
> selection. (The base score does not include bonus points.)
>
> **NOTE: In no case may applications with technical deficiencies (e.g.,
> ineligible Sponsor, missing or unsatisfactory Supportive Services
> Certification (Section 811), be considered by HUD Office panels, or
> included on the Initial Selection List or the Approvable but Unfunded
> List.**
>
> 4\. [RC/EZ/EC-II Bonus Points]{.underline}. After rating applications,
> those that receive at least **75** base points, have complete
> RC/EZ/EC-II certifications, and acceptable site control of an
> approvable site(s) should be reviewed against HUD\'s list of
> RCs/EZs/Ecs-II to determine if they are eligible to receive two (2)
> bonus points. Only those applications where the proposed site(s) is
> consistent with the strategic plan of the RC/EZ/EC-II, will be located
> in an RC/EZ/EC-II, and will serve residents of the RC/EZ/EC-II may
> receive the two (2) bonus points.
>
> 5\. [Unit Reduction Policy]{.underline}. After making the initial
> selections, any residual funds may be utilized to fund the next
> highest rank-ordered application by reducing the units by no more than
> 10 percent rounded to the nearest whole number; provided the reduction
> will not render the project infeasible. Applications proposing 202/811
> independent living projects of 5 units or less or Section 811 Group
> Homes of 2 units or less may not be reduced. For Section 811, the unit
> reduction policy must be applied to the next highest-ranked
> application in Category A first. For Section 202, the HUD Office may
> combine its unused metropolitan and non-metropolitan funds in order to
> select the next ranked application in either category, using the unit
> reduction policy, if necessary.
>
> 6\. [Approvable but Unfunded Applications]{.underline}. After the
> above process has been completed, HUD Offices must identify all
> unfunded but otherwise approvable applications.
>
> 7\. [Program Center\'s Submission to the Multifamily Hub]{.underline}.
>
> See Attachment 3 for a description of the selection materials that
> must be submitted to the Multifamily Hub in accordance with the
> processing schedule in Attachment 1.
>
> 8\. [Multifamily Hub\'s Use of Residual Funds]{.underline}. After the
> Program Centers within each Hub have funded all possible projects for
> the Section 202 and Section 811 programs, the residual funds (for
> Section 202, metropolitan and non-metropolitan funds are to be
> combined) will be used in the following manner. First, these funds
> will be used to restore units to projects reduced by Program Centers.
> Then, additional applications within each Multifamily Hub will be
> selected in rank order with no more than one application selected per
> Program Center unless there are insufficient approvable applications
> in other Program Centers within the Multifamily Hub. This process will
> continue until there are no more approvable applications within the
> Multifamily Hub that can be selected with the remaining funds. For
> Section 811, the residual funds are to be used first to fund Category
> A applications in rank order. Applications may not be skipped over to
> select one based on funds remaining. However, if necessary, any
> remaining residual funds may be used to fund the next rank-ordered
> application by reducing the number of units by no more than 10
> percent, rounded to the nearest whole number, provided the reduction
> will not render the project infeasible. HUD will not reduce the number
> of units in Section 202/811 independent living projects of 5 units or
> less or Section 811 Group Homes of 2 units or less.
>
> 9\. [Headquarters\' Use of Residual Funds]{.underline}. Headquarters
> will use residual funds first to restore units to projects that were
> reduced by HUD Offices and/or Multifamily Hubs. For Section 811 only,
> before restoring units to projects reduced by Program Centers/Hubs,
> Headquarters will use the residual Section 811 funds first to fund the
> Methodist Rehab Center in the jurisdiction of the Jackson, MS Program
> Center, a FY 2005 application that was not funded due to an
> administrative error relative to the electronic submission process,
> and Lower Paxton VOA Living Center in the jurisdiction of the
> Philadelphia, PA Program Center, a FY 2005 application that was not
> funded due to HUD error. Next, residual funds will be used for the
> selection of additional applications based on a national rank order
> with no more than one application selected per HUD Office from the
> national residual amount unless there are insufficient approvable
> applications in other HUD Offices. For Section 202, all
> non-metropolitan applications will be funded first to meet the
> statutory requirement pertaining to Section 202 funding in
> non-metropolitan areas. For Section 811, all Category A applications
> will be funded first to meet the statutory requirement that selection
> shall be based on the extent to which the Sponsor has site control.
> However, during the first round of funding of additional Section 811
> applications from HUD Headquarters' residual funds, Headquarters will
> skip over any applications within the jurisdiction of the
> Philadelphia, PA Program Center because of Headquarters' funding of an
> additional application that was not selected in FY 2005 for that
> Program Center, due to HUD error. Headquarters may skip over a higher
> rated application in order to use as much of the remaining funds as
> possible.

E. [Submission to Headquarters]{.underline}. See Attachment 3 for a

**APPLICATION FOR FUND RESERVATION**

**INITIAL SCREENING FOR CURABLE DEFICIENCIES CHECKLIST FORMAT**

**[Instructions]{.underline}**:

1.  The Project Manager shall screen each application to determine if
    the application has any curable deficiencies (i.e., deficiencies
    that have no affect on the rating of the application). Other
    deficiencies such as exhibits or portions of exhibits that are
    incomplete or missing and will affect the rating of the application
    shall be noted on the checklist for inclusion in a technical reject
    letter to the Sponsor. They shall **NOT** be requested during the
    curable deficiency period.

> **NOTE:** During initial screening, the contents of the exhibits are
> **not** to be reviewed; only the inclusion of the material.

2\. When completed, the Project Manager shall draft a letter to the
Sponsor identifying the deficiencies that must be corrected within 14
calendar days from the date of the letter.

3\. **(Section 811 Only)** If the Sponsor checks box 9b. of Form
HUD-92016-CA indicating that it is requesting approval to restrict
occupancy of the proposed project to a subcategory of persons with
disabilities within one of the three main categories (i.e., physically
disabled, developmentally disabled, chronically mentally ill) the
Project Manager must ensure that the Sponsor has submitted the required
information in Exhibit 5(b) to justify its request.

of curable deficiencies). The Project Manager shall also note whether
there are any missing or incomplete Exhibits that would affect the
rating of the application and, thus, will need to be included in a
technical reject letter to the Sponsor.

**SECTION 202/811 CAPITAL ADVANCE**

**APPLICATION FOR FUND RESERVATION**

**TECHNICAL PROCESSING REVIEW AND FINDINGS MEMORANDA**

**FORMATS**

**[Instructions]{.underline}**:

1\. The attached contains 7 separate suggested memoranda formats for use
by the reviewing disciplines during technical processing at the fund
reservation stage. The memoranda formats provide for:

-   the assignment of recommended rating points by the reviewing
    discipline for the Section 202 or Section 811 Rating/Selection
    Panel.

-   identification of all required findings and applicable program
    instructions.

-   identification of substantive comments by the reviewer.

    **NOTE:** Other review formats may be used as long as the required
    information is recorded.

2\. The rating criteria on the memoranda formats correspond to the
Rating Factors on the Standard Rating Criteria Form (Attachment 14 (202)
and Attachment 15 (811)). For example, on FHEO\'s Memorandum Format
there is no (a) under Rating Factor 1 because that criterion is rated by
the Project Manager. Furthermore, the points for each overall factor on
the memoranda formats relate to the maximum points the particular
technical discipline can assign to the rating criterion and may not
equal the total points for the corresponding Rating Factor on the
Standard Rating Criteria Form. For example, Rating Factor 1 on the
Standard Rating Criteria Form is worth 23 base points for 202 and 28
base points for 811. However, on the Project Manager\'s Memorandum
Format, Rating Factor 1 is worth a maximum of 16 points for 202 and 21
points for 811 because the Project Manager does not rate Rating
Criterion 1(b)(i) which is worth 5 points for either 202 or 811 and only
assigns 3 of the 5 points under Rating Criterion 1(b)(2).

3\. **[Applications Submitted by Co-Sponsors]{.underline}**. Each
Co-Sponsor must submit all of the application submission requirements.
In rating a co-sponsored application, the technical discipline will rate
each Co-Sponsor separately and the highest score for the applicable
Rating Criterion will apply.

4\. **[Missing Information]{.underline}.** If the reviewing discipline
discovers that an exhibit or part of an exhibit is missing which was not
identified during initial screening for curable deficiencies, the
Project Manager must be notified immediately. If the item is a curable
deficiency, the Project Manager shall telephone the Sponsor and request
the missing information to be submitted within 14 calendar days from the
date of the telephone call. The Project Manager shall also request this
information on the same day by certified mail. Any other missing
information shall be listed in a technical reject letter to the Sponsor.

5\. **[Restricted Occupancy]{.underline}**. Under Section 811, if the
Project Manager determines, based on a review of the Sponsor\'s
justification, that the Sponsor\'s request for restricted occupancy
should be approved, it must prepare a memorandum to the file for the
signature of the Supervisory Project Manager indicating whether the
Sponsor\'s request to restrict occupancy has been approved or
disapproved. The memorandum shall be attached to the Project Manager\'s
Technical Processing Review and Findings Memorandum and include the
following language:

-   **[If Approved]{.underline}**:

> \"Your request to restrict occupancy to (insert applicable subcategory
> of persons with disabilities) is approved. However, you must permit
> occupancy by any otherwise qualified very low-income person with a
> (insert applicable category under which the subcategory falls),
> provided the person can benefit from the housing and/or services
> provided.\"

-   **[If Disapproved]{.underline}**:

> "Your request to restrict occupancy to (insert applicable subcategory
> of persons with disabilities) has been disapproved. Therefore, your
> project must serve persons with (insert applicable category(ies) of
> persons with disabilities)."

6\. **[Section 811 Site Control Applications]{.underline}**. An
application with control of a single site will be placed in Category A
for selection purposes **ONLY** if the evidence of site control is
acceptable and the site is approvable by FHEO and Valuation (this
includes the Phase I and Phase II, if necessary, being received
according to the NOFA instructions).

If the site control is **NOT** acceptable for a single site application,
the application may still receive up to 14 points for Site Approvability
(Criterion 3(a)) from Valuation and up to 10 points from FHEO for the
suitability of the site in promoting a greater choice of housing
opportunities for persons with disabilities, including minorities
(Criterion 3(c)).

If either VAL or FHEO rejects the site, the application will receive 0
points for Criteria 3(a) and Criterion 3(b). The application will be
placed in Category B for selection purposes and remain in the
competition as long as the Sponsor indicated in Exhibit 4(d)(xi) that it
is willing to seek an alternate site. Otherwise, the application will be
rejected.

**NOTE:** For a scattered site application, site control must be
acceptable for all sites and all sites must be approvable for the
application to receive points for Criteria 3(a) and 3(b) and to be
placed in Category A for selection purposes.

7\. Review Disciplines Summary: The Project Manager shall complete the
following:

[1/]{.underline} If an application receives a \"not acceptable\"
recommendation, the application is a \"technical reject\", and a letter
must be sent to the Sponsor outlining all reasons for rejection and
providing the Sponsor 14 calendar days from the date of HUD\'s
notification to appeal the rejection. If the Sponsor submits an appeal
that causes the rejection to be overturned, the application is then
rated, ranked and submitted to the Rating/Selection Panel for
consideration. If the Sponsor does not appeal the rejection or does
appeal but the rejection is not overturned, the application remains a
\"technical reject\", receives a final score of 0 and is not to be
considered by the Rating/ Selection Panel.

The subject application has been reviewed and comments are as follows:

**NOTES**: 1) If the Section 811 Sponsor did not submit either evidence
of site control or an identified site, the application must be rejected.
2) If the Section 811 Sponsor has control of a single site, and the site
control documentation is not acceptable, it can still receive points for
Criterion 3(a) below. However, if the Sponsor submits a scattered site
application, the site control documentation must be acceptable for all
sites and all sites must be approvable in order for the application to
receive points for Criterion 3(a) below and remain in Category A for
selection purposes. Otherwise, the application will be placed in
Category B for selection purposes and remain in the competition as long
as the Sponsor indicated in Exhibit 4(d)(xi) that it is willing to
locate an alternate site.

3\. **For Section 202 applications** and **Section 811 applications with
site control only:** the proposed site is located inside the 100-year
floodplain (or, if a critical action, the 500-year floodplain) and/or,
if a new construction project, the proposed site is located in a

**NOTE**: All Section 811 proposals are considered to be critical
actions. Contact the Sponsor to determine if a Conditional/ Final Letter
of Map Amendment/Revision has been issued by FEMA that would remove the
site from the 100-year or 500-year floodplain, as appropriate. If not,
or in the case of wetlands, six steps of the 8-step process identified
in 24 CFR Part 55 **must** be completed prior to the convening of the

4\. For **Section 202 applications** and **Section 811 applications with
site control only,** was there either a statement submitted that the
project did not involve a pre-1978 structure on the site or that most
recently consisted of solely four or fewer units of single family
housing including appurtenant structures, or was a comprehensive
building asbestos survey submitted that was a **thorough inspection**
that identified the location and condition of asbestos **throughout**
any structures? In those cases where suspect asbestos was found as part
of this asbestos report, it must either have been assumed to be asbestos
or would have required confirmatory testing.

Yes\_\_\_\_\_ No\_\_\_\_\_ N/A\_\_\_\_\_(811 site identified)

**Section 202:** If No, the application must be rejected.

**Section 811:** If No, the site must be rejected and the application
shall receive 0 points for Criterion 3(a) below and be placed in
Category B for selection purposes provided the Sponsor indicated a
willingness to locate an alternate site.

**NOTE:** A general "asbestos screen" that does not appear to be a
thorough inspection is not acceptable. If the asbestos survey indicates
the presence of asbestos or the presence of asbestos is assumed, and if
the application is approved, you must condition the approval on an
appropriate mix of asbestos abatement for friable asbestos and asbestos
directly affected by rehabilitation or demolition or an Operations and
Maintenance Plan for other asbestos. Asbestos abatement is an allowable
project cost up to the limits imposed by the Capital Advance. The term
"comprehensive building asbestos survey" is a more appropriate term than
the term asbestos report referred to in last year's SUPERNOFA.

5\. **For Section 202 applications** and **Section 811 applications with
site control only,** was a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
submitted for the entire site that would be covered by the capital
advance, with an Update, as appropriate, and prepared in conformance
with ASTM 1527-05, as amended? This is not meant to be an exhaustive
search. It should be relatively obvious if it does not meet the intent
of the required site visit, or it says that it is in conformance with
ASTM 1527-00.

##### RATING FACTOR 3 - SOUNDNESS OF APPROACH 

**(47 POINTS FOR 202, 42 POINTS FOR 811)**

In determining the quality and effectiveness of the proposal, the extent
to which the Sponsor involved the target population (including
minorities) in the development of the application and will involve them
in the development and operation of the project, the extent to
incorporate the provisions of Section 3 through the Sponsor's plans to
expand economic opportunities for low- and very low-income, and the
extent to which the Section 811 Sponsor coordinated its application with
other organizations such as centers for independent living as well as
the relationship between the project, the community\'s needs and
purposes of the program funding, consider:

**(a) Site approvability** - Proximity or accessibility of the site to
shopping, medical facilities, transportation, places of worship,
recreational facilities, places of employment and other necessary
services to the intended occupants, adequacy of utilities and streets
and freedom of the site from adverse environmental conditions **(applies
only to site control projects for 811)** and

> compliance with the site and neighborhood standards. (20 points
> maximum for Section 202, 14 points maximum for Section 811)

In determining the need for additional supportive housing for the
elderly, EMAS should take into consideration the Sponsor's evidence of
need; current and anticipated market conditions in assisted housing;
economic, demographic and housing market data available to the HUD
Office; and in accordance with an agreement between HUD and RHS,
comments from RHS on the need for additional assisted housing and the
possible long-term impact on existing projects in the same housing
market area.

The data should include a count of the available Federally (HUD and RHS)
assisted housing in the market area; the current occupancy and waiting
lists in such facilities; and the extent of the pipeline of assisted
housing under construction and for which fund reservations have been
issued.

Based on the above, the subject application has been reviewed and EMAS\'
findings are as follows:

1\. Taking into consideration the information available, including the
Sponsor\'s evidence of need, comments from the Rural Housing Service
(RHS), and EMAS's independent analysis, there is sufficient sustainable
demand for additional units of the number and type of units proposed,
without long-term adverse impact on existing Federally-assisted housing.

Yes \_\_\_\_\_ No \_\_\_\_\_

**If No, the application is a technical reject and is to be given zero
(0) points on Rating Factor 2 below. A detailed report must be attached
presenting the data and findings justifying the conclusion of
insufficient demand.**

2\. The proposed location is acceptable and desirable for the target
population taking into consideration the proximity or accessibility of
public facilities, health care and other necessary services to the

**RATING FACTOR 2 - NEED/EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM (13 POINTS)**

**[Section 202 Projects Only]{.underline}:** Rating points for all
Section 202 projects, determined to have sufficient demand, are to be
based on the ratio of the number of units in the proposed project to the
estimate of unmet need for housing assistance by the income eligible
elderly households with selected housing conditions. Unmet housing need
is defined as the number of very low-income elderly one-person renter
households age 75 and older with housing conditions problems, as of the
2000 Census minus the number of project-based subsidized rental housing
units (HUD, RHS, or LIHTC) that are affordable to very low-income
elderly provided in the area since 1999. Units to be occupied by
resident managers are not to be counted. (10 points maximum)

10 points: The project has an unmet needs ratio of 15 percent or less.

5 points: The project has an unmet needs ratio of greater than 15
percent.

**RATING FACTORS**

**RATING FACTOR 1 - CAPACITY OF THE APPLICANT AND RELEVANT
ORGANIZATIONAL STAFF (23 POINTS FOR 202, 28 POINTS FOR 811)**

In determining the Sponsor\'s ability to develop and operate the
proposed housing on a long-term basis, consider:

> **(b)(1)** The scope, extent and quality of the Sponsor\'s experience
> in providing housing or related services to minority persons or
> minority families. (5 points maximum)

**NOTE:** If the Sponsor has no previous housing experience, all
relevant supportive services experience should be examined.

**RATING FACTOR 3 - SOUNDNESS OF APPROACH**

**(47 POINTS FOR 202, 42 POINTS FOR 811)**

In determining the quality and effectiveness of the proposal, the extent
to which the Sponsor involved the target population (including
minorities) in the development of the application and will involve them
in the development and operation of the project, the extent to
incorporate the provisions of Section 3 through the Sponsor's plans to
expand economic opportunities for low- and very low-income, and the
extent to which the Section 811 Sponsor coordinated its application with
other organizations such as centers for independent living as well as
the relationship between the project, the community\'s needs and
purposes of the program funding, consider:

c.  The suitability of the site from the standpoints of promoting a
    greater choice of housing opportunities for minority elderly
    persons/families (**Section 202**) or persons with disabilities,
    including minorities (**Section 811**) and affirmatively furthering
    fair housing. The site will be deemed acceptable if it increases
    housing choice and opportunity by (a) expanding housing
    opportunities in non-minority neighborhoods (if located in such a
    neighborhood); **OR** contributing to the revitalization of and
    reinvestment in minority neighborhoods, including improvement of the
    level, quality and affordability of services furnished to the
    minority elderly (202) or minority persons with disabilities (811).

Owner who will provide the option agreement or contract of sale and who
would presumably have obtained a Title policy when it acquired the site.
The Field Counsel is responsible for determining what is a reasonable
period of time based on a review of the information in the Title policy.
If there is reason to question the Title policy, Field Counsel should
request that the Multifamily Housing Project Manager ask for a Title
Report supplementing the policy in a deficiency letter to the Sponsor.

[Draft Letter from the Supervisory Project Manager to the Director of
the Appropriate State or Local Agency Requesting Designation of
Representative to Review Supportive Services Plans of Section 811
Applications]{.underline}

Dear :

The purpose of this letter is to request your assistance, \[once
again\], in reviewing supportive services plans from applications for
funding under the Section 811 Program of Supportive Housing for Persons
with Disabilities. This program was authorized by the National
Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and provides funding in the form of
capital advances to nonprofit organizations (Sponsors) to construct,
rehabilitate or acquire (with or without rehabilitation) housing for
persons with disabilities. The capital advance does not have to be
repaid as long as the housing remains available for very low income
persons with disabilities for at least 40 years. Project rental
assistance funds are also provided to cover the HUD-approved operating
costs of the housing with the exception of the cost of any necessary
supportive services for the residents. Residents are required to pay no
more than 30 percent of their adjusted incomes for rent.

Nationwide, HUD has \$443,167,647 in capital advance funds available
which will facilitate the development of 4,313 housing units for persons
with disabilities.

On March 8, 2006, HUD published in the [Federal Register]{.underline} a
Notice of Fund Availability for the Section 811 Program as part of a
Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for HUD\'s
Discretionary Programs. A copy is enclosed for your information.
Applications for funding must be submitted electronically through
[www.grants.gov/Apply](http://www.grants.gov/Apply), unless a waiver to
submit a paper application is granted.

If a waiver is approved to submit a paper application, the Sponsor must
mail their application in sufficient time to ensure that the application
is received in the appropriate local HUD Office no later than the close
of business on the deadline date for the local HUD Office. Hand
delivered applications also must be delivered to the local HUD Office by
the local HUD Office's close of business on the application deadline
date. HUD will no longer accept a receipt of mailing from the USPS or
other mail services certifying that the application was mailed before
the established deadline date and time. An original and 4 copies of the
application must be received by the local HUD Office by the application
deadline date. Paper applications received by the local HUD office after
the established deadline date and time will be considered late and
non-responsive to the NOFA.

The supportive services plan and the Sponsor\'s description of its
experience in providing housing or related services to the intended
population are key parts of a Section 811 application. HUD recognizes
that housing without necessary supportive services may not be sufficient
to enable many persons with disabilities to live independently in the
community. Since HUD cannot pay for supportive services, it will not
select an applicant for a Section 811 capital advance unless the
provision of supportive services described in the supportive services
plan is well designed to serve the needs of the proposed residents and
there is evidence that any necessary supportive services will be
provided on a consistent, long-term basis to ensure the continued
viability of the housing project. It should be noted, however, that
accepting the supportive services that are offered in conjunction with
the housing is not a condition of occupancy.

We \[again\] are requesting your assistance in reviewing the supportive
services plans from Sponsors proposing to serve people with ([insert
disability category]{.underline}) because of your agency\'s knowledge
and expertise in the provision of supportive services to this
population. In order to be approved for funding, Sponsors are required
by law to have a certification from the \"appropriate State or local
agency\" indicating that the provision of the services identified in the
supportive services plan is well designed to meet the special needs of
the proposed residents. Enclosed are copies of the Certification for
Provision of Supportive Services (Certification) and an evaluation form
designed to assist the reviewer in completing the Certification.

Please note that, in addition to the statutory requirement for a
determination as to whether or not the provision of services is well
designed, we have included space for the reviewer to indicate whether
the proposed project is consistent/inconsistent with State or local
plans and policies addressing the housing needs of people with
disabilities. For example, if the proposed project will be a group home
for four adults with developmental disabilities but the State will only
provide supportive services funding for three persons in a group home,
the reviewer would check the \"Inconsistent\" box. This additional
indication will help assure us that Sponsors who are receiving funding
or referrals through a particular agency, or their projects will be
licensed by that agency, are proposing projects that are sanctioned by
that agency. There is also space for the reviewer to indicate whether or
not the necessary supportive services will be provided on a consistent,
long-term basis as well as whether the provision of supportive services
will enhance the independent living success and promote the dignity of
those who will access the proposed project.

HUD will not review the supportive services plan of Sponsor\'s
applications and, consequently, there will be no points assigned to the
plan. Instead, the supportive services plan and the Certification are
threshold requirements which means that if the application does not
include them and, after being notified by the HUD Office, the Sponsor
does not provide the missing information by ([insert deadline for
submitting missing information]{.underline}), the application is
rejected. Furthermore, if the agency completing the Certification
indicates any of the following, the application will be rejected:

> 1\) the provision of supportive services is **not** well designed to
> serve the individual needs of persons with disabilities the housing is
> expected to serve;

2.  the provision of supportive services will **not** enhance the
    independent living success or promote the dignity of those who will
    access the proposed project;

3.  the necessary supportive services will **not** be provided on a
    consistent, long-term basis; or

4.  the proposed housing is **inconsistent** with State or local plans
    and policies addressing the housing needs of people with
    disabilities; (if the agency will be a major funding or referral
    source for or license the proposed project).

Unless we are informed otherwise, we assume that your agency is the
appropriate agency to review the supportive services plans of
applications from Sponsors proposing to develop housing for persons with
([insert disability category]{.underline}) and to complete the
Certification and we will be informing applicants interested in
submitting a Section 811 application for persons with ([insert
disability category]{.underline}) that they are to send one copy of
their application including the supportive services plan to your agency
for review and completion of the Supportive Services Certification.

\[We are having an orientation workshop for prospective Sponsors
([insert information on the date, time and place]{.underline}) and would
like you or your representative to attend in order to receive more
detailed information on the Section 811 Program and to be available to
help answer any questions on the supportive services plan. If you or a
representative will be attending, please call this office on ([insert
telephone number]{.underline}) to confirm.\]

If your agency is not the appropriate agency for Sponsors proposing to
serve [(insert disability category)]{.underline} to send a copy of their
applications for review of the supportive services plan and completion
of the Supportive Services Certification described above, please direct
us to the appropriate agency as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and attention to this important effort. We look
forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Supervisory Project

Manager
