Announcement of Funding Awards, 

HOPE VI Revitalization Grant Program, 

Fiscal Year 2010 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing, HUD. 

ACTION: Announcement of funding 

awards. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 

102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development 

Reform Act of 1989, this announcement 

notifies the public of funding decisions 

made by the Department in a 

competition for funding under the 

Fiscal Year 2010 (FY2010) Notice of 

Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 

HOPE VI Revitalization grant program. 

This announcement contains the 

consolidated names and addresses of 

this year’s award recipients under the 

HOPE VI Revitalization grant program. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions concerning the HOPE VI 

Revitalization program grant awards, 

contact Ms. Susan Wilson, Director, 

Office of Urban Revitalization, Office of 

Public and Indian Housing, Department 

of Housing and Urban Development, 

451 Seventh Street SW., Room 4130, 

Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202- 

401–8812. Hearing or speech-impaired 

individuals may access this number via 

TTY by calling the toll-free Federal 

Relay Service at 800–877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HOPE 

VI Revitalization Program provides 

grants to public housing authorities 

(PHAs) to: (1) Improve the living 

environment for public housing 

residents of severely distressed public 

housing projects through the 

demolition, rehabilitation, 

reconfiguration, or replacement of 

obsolete public housing projects; (2) 

revitalize sites on which such public 

housing projects are located and 

contribute to the improvement of the 

surrounding neighborhood; (3) provide 

housing that will avoid or decrease the 

concentration of very low-income 

families; and (4) build sustainable 

communities. 

The FY2010 awards totaled 

$152,729,750, which included funds 

from both the FY2010 and FY2011 

HOPE VI/Choice Neighborhood 

appropriation. The FY 2010 HOPE VI/ 

Choice Neighborhood appropriation 

only allowed for the funding of six 

applications submitted in response to 

the FY2010 NOFA. In addition to the 

FY2010 HOPE VI/Choice 

Neighborhoods appropriation, HUD 

used the FY2011 HOPE VI/Choice 

Neighborhoods appropriation to fund 

two additional FY2010 HOPE VI 

applicants. HUD used the FY2011 HOPE 

VI/Choice Neighborhood assistance due 

to the need to award the FY2011 

appropriation to communities as soon as 

possible and the fact that there were 

many more high-quality HOPE VI 

applicants in FY2010 than HUD was 

able to fund, for which use of the 

FY2011 appropriation provided a 

remedy. The results of HUD’s HOPE VI 

selections were announced on May 23, 

2011. At that time, and in addition to 

the applicant and Congressional 

notification processes, eight grantees 

and the amount of each award was 

posted to the HUD Web site at: http:// 

portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/ 

press/press_releases_media_advisories/ 

2011/HUDNo.11–097. Applications 

were scored and selected for funding 

based on the selection criteria in the 

FY2010 HOPE VI Revitalization NOFA. 

As a result of HUD’s decision, HUD 

was able to fund eight public housing 

authorities (PHAs) from among 36 PHAs 

that applied for FY2010 HOPE VI 

Revitalization funding. Using the 

FY2011 HOPE VI/Choice 

Neighborhoods appropriation in this 

way allowed HUD to fund two 

additional FY2010 HOPE VI 

Revitalization applicants and two 

additional FY2010 Choice 

Neighborhoods applicants that would 

not have otherwise been funded 

(FY2010 Choice Neighborhoods awards 

are addressed in a separate Federal 

Register notice). In accordance with 

Section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department 

of Housing and Urban Development 

Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 

U.S.C. 3545), the Department is 

publishing the names, addresses, and 

amounts of the eight awards made 

under the competition in Appendix A to 

this document. 

Dated: March 9, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

prohibits certain activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless a Federal permit allows such 

activity. Along with our implementing 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17, the 

Act provides for permits to allow such 

otherwise prohibited activities, and 

requires that we invite public comment 

before issuing these permits. 

A permit granted by the Service under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes 

you to conduct activities with U.S. 

endangered or threatened species for 

scientific purposes, enhancement of 

propagation or survival, or interstate 

commerce (the latter only in the event 

that it facilitates scientific purposes or 

enhancement of propagation or 

survival). Our regulations implementing 

section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are 

found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for 

threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.62 for endangered plant species, and 

50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species.
