Notice of Funding Availability Community Partnerships for 
Resident Uplift and Economic Development; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA); correction.

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

SUMMARY: On July 29, 1997 (62 FR 40642), a notice was published in the 
Federal Register announcing the availability of approximately $5 
million in FY 1997 funding under a joint initiative sponsored by HUD, 
the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of 
Agriculture, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The purpose of the 
initiative, entitled ``Community Partnerships for Resident Uplift and 
Economic Development,'' is to create neighborhood-based programs to 
move families residing in public housing and the adjacent neighborhood 
from welfare to self-sufficiency. The July 29, 1997 NOFA contained a 
typographical error in the section specifying the necessary Public 
Housing Management Assessment Program score for Housing Authority co-
applicants. This document makes the necessary correction.

DATES: This notice does not affect the deadline date provided in the

1997 NOFA. Applications must still be physically received at the 
correct HUD Headquarters Office on or before September 12, 1997 at 3:00 
pm, local time.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Arnaudo, Office of Community 
Relations and Involvement, 451 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 619-8201 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing or 
speech-impaired individuals may access this number via TTY by calling 
the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 29, 1997 (62 FR 40642), a NOFA 
was published in the Federal Register announcing the availability 
of approximately $5 million in FY 1997 funding under a joint 
initiative entitled ``Community Partnerships for Resident Uplift 
and Economic Development.'' The sponsors of this initiative are 
three separate Federal departments (HUD, the Department of Health 
and Human Services, and the Department of Agriculture), as well as 
a major national private sector organization (the Boys & Girls Club 
of America).

    The purpose of the joint initiative is to create neighborhood-based 
programs to move families residing in public housing and the adjacent 
neighborhood from welfare to self-sufficiency. To accomplish this, the 
sponsors are pursuing and linking two (2) primary strategies:
    1. Encourage the creation of employment and business development 
opportunities for low-income people through business, physical or 
commercial development in the neighborhood; and
    2. Provide an array of supportive services in neighborhood-based 
comprehensive service centers (and accessible to persons with 
disabilities) to enable participants to successfully make and sustain 
the transition to self-sufficiency.
    Among other application requirements, the July 29, 1997 NOFA 
specified the necessary Public Housing Management Assessment Program 
(PHMAP) score for Housing Authority (HA) co-applicants. This section of 
the NOFA contained a typographical error. Specifically, the July 29, 
1997 NOFA provided that an HA co-applicant must provide documentation 
that its most recent PHMAP score included an overall ``B'' average (62 
FR 40649). The NOFA should have correctly required an overall ``C'' 
average on the HA's most recent PHMAP score. This document makes the 
necessary correction.
    Accordingly, FR Doc. 97-19917, Notice of Funding Availability for 
the Community Partnerships for Resident Uplift and Economic 
Development, published in the Federal Register on July 29, 1997 (62 FR 
40642), is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 40649, first column, paragraph (9), PHMAP Score, is 
corrected to read as follows:
    (9) PHMAP Score: An HA co-applicant must provide documentation that 
its last Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP) score 
included an overall ``C'' average, as well as a ``C'' on Indicator #7, 
Resident Services and Community Building, and a ``C'' on Indicator 
6(a), Operating Reserves. (See 24 CFR Part 901 published December 30, 
1996.) If the HA's most recent PHMAP score was based on the prior PHMAP 
regulation, the HA must provide documentation that its overall score 
included an overall ``C'' average, as well as a ``C'' on Indicator #11, 
Resident Initiatives, and at least a ``C'' on Indicator #9, Operating 
Reserve. No HA co-applicant designated as ``troubled'' as a result of 
its most recent PHMAP score is eligible for this initiative.

    Dated: August 5, 1997.
Kevin Emanuel Marchman,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
