NOFA for Fair Housing Initiatives

Program; FY 1997 Competitive

Solicitation

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA); clarification.

SUMMARY: This notice clarifies a

variance between a requirement on the

use of FHIP funds for litigation against

the U.S. set forth in the Fiscal Year (FY)

1997 NOFA for the Fair Housing

Initiatives Program (FHIP), published in

the Federal Register on June 26, 1997

(62 FR 34562) and a FHIP Application

Kit statement which was more

expansive. In addition, this clarification

provides notice that the Department is

providing a 7-day period for any entity

that was discouraged from submitting

an application under this NOFA

because of this variance to so advise the

Department. Any entity otherwise

eligible under the NOFA that so notifies

the Department will be allowed 30 days

from today’s date to submit an

application under the Private

Enforcement Initiative (PEI) and/or the

Fair Housing Organizations Initiative

(FHOI).

DATES: An entity must advise the

Department by September 9, 1997 if it

meets the provisions outlined in this

Notice and intends to submit an

application. Such an entity will have 30

days from today’s date, until October 2,

1997 to submit its application under the

PEI and the FHOI. Applications will be

accepted if they are received on or

before the application due date, or are

received within 7 days after the

application due date, but with a U.S.

postmark or receipt from a private

commercial delivery service (such as

Federal Express or DHL) that is dated on

or before the application due date.

ADDRESSES: To advise HUD that the

statement in the Application Kit

discouraged your organization from

applying, and that you will be

submitting an application within 30

days as permitted under this

clarification, please contact Aztec Jacobs

or Maxine Cunningham as indicated
