Notice of Funding Availability for Service Coordinator Funds for 
Fiscal Year 1998

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

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA) for Service Coordinators 
for Fiscal Year 1998.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of $13 million for the 
Service Coordinator Program. This program provides funding for the 
employment and support of service coordinators in public and assisted 
housing developments (including conventional public housing, Rural 
Housing Service (RHS) Section 515/8, Section 8 existing project-based 
and moderate rehabilitation developments, Section 202 and 202/8, 
221(d)(3) and 236 developments) designated for the elderly and persons 
with disabilities. Service coordinators help residents obtain 
supportive services from the community that are needed to enable 
independent living and aging in place.
    Eligible applications will be funded through separate lotteries, 
one for Public Housing developments and one for assisted housing 
developments. Public Housing developments with expiring Fiscal Year 
(FY) 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator grants that have expended at 
least 80 percent (80%) of their grant funds by the application deadline 
date will be funded as an Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) 
priority prior to doing a general lottery. (One-year renewal funding 
for FY 1992 Section 202 and Section 202/8 projects is currently 
available under a December 5, 1997 memorandum from Albert Sullivan to 
the Field Office Multifamily Housing Directors.)
    This NOFA contains information concerning: the purpose and 
background of the NOFA, and the funding level provided; eligible 
applicants and activities and award requirements; and the application 
requirements and steps involved in the application process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this notice 
were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520) and have been assigned OMB control number 2577-0198. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless the collection displays a valid 
control number.

I. Authority; Purpose, Amount Allocated; and Eligibility

(A) Authority

    (1) For Multifamily Assisted Housing Developments. Section 808 of 
the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (Pub. L. 101-625, 
approved November 28, 1990), as amended by sections 671, 674, 676, and 
677 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-
550, approved October 28, 1992), provides authority for service 
coordinators in multifamily assisted housing developments.
    (2) For PHAs. Section 673 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) provides that PHAs may receive additional 
annual contributions for any development to cover the cost of employing 
or otherwise retaining the services of a service coordinator.

[[Page 29875]]

(B) Purpose

    The Service Coordinator Program provides funding for the employment 
and support of service coordinators in public and assisted housing 
developments designated for the elderly and persons with disabilities. 
Service coordinators help residents obtain supportive services from the 
community that are needed to enable independent living and aging in 
place.
    A service coordinator is a social service staff person hired or 
contracted by the development's owner/management company or the PHA. 
The coordinator is responsible for assuring that elderly residents, 
especially those who are frail or at risk, and those non-elderly 
residents with disabilities are linked to the supportive services they 
need to continue living independently in that development. The service 
coordinator, however, may not require any elderly or disabled family to 
accept the supportive services.

(C) Amounts Allocated

    This NOFA makes available a total of $13,000,000 in FY 1998 funding 
from the $55,000,000 earmark in the Community Development Block Grants 
Fund account, 110 Stat. 2887, September 26, 1997. This $13,000,000, 
which will be equally allocated to programs administered by PIH and the 
Office of Housing is from the amount appropriated for public and 
assisted housing self-sufficiency programs. This $13,000,000 is being 
made available to provide service coordinators for conventional public 
housing, Section 8 existing project-based or moderate rehabilitation 
developments, and 202, 202/8, 221(d)(3) and 236 developments. All 
requests must be for eligible developments which are housing for the 
elderly and persons with disabilities.
    (1) Exhaustion of Public Housing Service Coordinator Program Funds. 
When the funding for public housing developments under the Service 
Coordinator Program is exhausted, PHAs may use other eligible funds 
such as PIH grants (e.g., Comprehensive Grants, Economic Development 
and Supportive Services (EDSS) funds, or other operational funds) to 
employ a service coordinator.
    (2) Exhaustion of Multifamily Assisted Housing Service Coordinator 
Program Funds. When the funding for multifamily assisted housing 
developments under the Service Coordinator Program is exhausted, owners 
may request processing under Housing's Management Agent Handbook 
4381.5, REV-2, CHG-4, Chapter 8. This Handbook provides procedures for 
requesting funding for a coordinator using residual receipts, the 
budget-based rent increase process, contract rents adjusted by the 
Annual Adjustment Factor (AAF) or the Project Rental Assistance 
Contract (PRAC). Section 8 approvals must be consistent with current 
policy.
    (3) Renewal of Grants. All grants funded under this NOFA are 
renewable, subject to the availability of funds.

(D) Eligibility

    (1) General. PHAs and owners of eligible multifamily assisted 
housing developments may request Service Coordinator Program funding. 
To be eligible, a development must have frail or at-risk elderly 
residents and/or non-elderly residents with disabilities who together 
total at least 25 percent of the building's residents (not applicable 
to expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator Grants).
    (2) Single applicants. A PHA or an assisted housing owner may 
submit an application for one or more developments that it owns.
    (3) Joint Applications.
    (a) Two or more owners and/or PHAs may join together to share a 
service coordinator and so submit joint applications. In the past, 
joint applications have been used by small developments who joined 
together to meet the minimum number of units required for eligibility.
    (b) A PHA and an assisted housing owner may submit a joint 
application and share a service coordinator among developments. The 
application will be entered into the program lottery corresponding to 
the organizational type of the designated lead applicant (i.e., if the 
lead applicant is a PHA, the joint application will be entered in the 
PIH lottery and all developments in that application will be funded 
through PIH's allotment of funds).
    (4) Public Housing Eligibility Criteria.
    (a) Eligible developments must be conventional public housing, 
including those with expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator 
grants;
    (b) An eligible development (or group of developments) having at 
least 50 units. A sole or joint application with two or more 
developments having at least 50 rental units together may also apply. 
(Not applicable to expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator 
grants.)
    (c) A PHA must have a passing Public Housing Management Assessment 
Program (PHMAP) score. In the case of a PHA that is designated as 
``troubled,'' as a result of its PHMAP score, the PHA must provide 
certification that a Contract Administrator (or equivalent organization 
qualified to administer Federal grants) will be administering the 
proposed Service Coordinator Program grant. (A Contract Administrator 
is not needed to administer an extended FY 1995 Elderly Service 
Coordinator grant.)
    (d) To renew an FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator Grant, the PHA 
must demonstrate that it has spent 80 percent (80%) of grant funds by 
the application deadline date, and has field office approval of 
satisfactory performance.
    (e) By the date of execution of the grant agreement an applicant 
must have secured online access to the internet as a means to 
communicate with HUD on grant matters and shall have provided at least 
75 percent (75%) of the required Multifamily Tenant Characteristics 
System (MTCS) occupancy data to HUD.
    (f) An applicant may not have unresolved, outstanding Inspector 
General audit findings.
    (5) Multifamily Assisted Housing Eligibility Criteria. Eligible 
developments are those that meet the following criteria:
    (a) Are one of the following program types: Section 202 and 202/8, 
existing Section 8 project-based and moderate rehabilitation 
developments (including RHS Section 515/8), and Section 221(d)(3) and 
236 developments which are insured or assisted.
    (b) Are designated elderly only or housing for the elderly and 
persons with disabilities. This includes any building within a mixed-
use development that was designated for occupancy by elderly persons or 
persons with disabilities at its inception or consistent with title VI, 
subtitle D of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. If not 
so designated, a development in which the owner gives preferences in 
tenant selection (with HUD approval) to eligible elderly persons or 
persons with disabilities, for all units in that development.
    (c) Have at least 50 rental units. An eligible application with two 
or more developments having at least 50 rental units together may also 
apply.
    (d) Be finally closed.
    (e) Be current in mortgage payments or have a current workout 
agreement.
    (f) Are not on the list of ``troubled'' developments, consistent 
with Notice H-97-50, ``Contract Non-Renewal Notice.'' Section 202 or 
Section 8 developments must meet housing quality standards, based on 
most recent physical inspection report and responses thereto. Section 
221(d)(3) and Section 236 developments must be in good repair, based on 
most recent physical inspection report and responses thereto.

[[Page 29876]]

    (g) An applicant may not have unresolved, outstanding Inspector 
General audit findings.

(E) Eligible Activities

    Service Coordinator Program grant funds may be used to pay for the 
salary, fringe benefits, and related administrative costs for employing 
a service coordinator. Administrative costs may include, but are not 
limited to, purchase of furniture, office equipment and supplies, 
training, quality assurance, travel, and utilities.

(F) Ineligible Developments

    (1) A PHA may not apply for Service Coordinator Program funding if 
it has an expiring FY 1995 service coordinator grant, under which it 
has spent LESS THAN 80 percent (80%) of the grant's available funds by 
the application deadline date, and/or does NOT have field office 
approval of satisfactory performance.
    (2) A PHA may not apply for Service Coordinator Program funding for 
any development that has a service coordinator funded by an EDSS grant.
    (3) A PHA that has not met its obligations under the Annual 
Contributions Contract (ACC) to furnish required reports. Any PHA whose 
number of family reports in the MTCS has not reached 75 percent (75%) 
or more of the number of occupied low-income units.
    (4) An Indian Housing Authority (IHA) development is not eligible 
for this program.
    (5) Section 202/811 Supportive Housing Projects with PRAC 
developments may not receive funds under the Service Coordinator 
Program. Owners of Section 202 PRAC projects may obtain funding by 
requesting an amendment to their PRAC contract, if necessary, or 
approval within the existing budget.
    (6) Assisted housing applicants with existing service coordinator 
grants may NOT apply for renewal or extension of such grants.
    (7) Assisted housing applicants may NOT have outstanding contract 
violations of a contractual or regulatory nature.
    (8) Any applicant must comply with all applicable statutory and 
regulatory fair housing and civil rights laws as enumerated in 24 CFR 
5.105(a). If the applicant has been charged with a violation of the 
Fair Housing Act by the Department or the Department of Justice or if 
an applicant has received a letter of noncompliance findings under 
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act, or Section 109 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act, the applicant is not eligible to apply for funding 
under this NOFA until the applicant resolves such charge or letter of 
findings to the satisfaction of the Department.

(G) Ineligible Activities

    (1) PHAs and assisted housing owners cannot use funds available 
under this NOFA to extend or replace an expiring Service Coordinator 
Program grant or contract, except as provided under Section II(C) of 
this NOFA.
    (2) Applicants may not use these monies to replace current funding 
from other sources for a service coordinator or for some other staff 
person who performs service coordinator functions.
    (3) CHSP grantees may not use these funds to meet statutory program 
match requirements and may not use these funds to replace current CHSP 
program funds to continue the employment of a service coordinator.

(H) Grant Term

    HUD will award new funds as three year grants, renewable subject to 
the availability of funds. Any renewals of existing FY 1995 PIH service 
coordinator grants will be for ONE year, consistent with existing 
renewal policy.

II. Application Selection Process

(A) General

    Service Coordinator Program grant funds will not be awarded through 
a rating and ranking process. Instead, HUD will hold lotteries for all 
approvable applications forwarded from appropriate Multifamily HUB or 
Multifamily Program Center, or Public Housing Field Office (a list of 
these offices is found in Attachment A to this notice).

(B) Threshold Eligibility Review

    (1) HUD Public Housing and Multifamily Field Office staff will 
review applications for completeness and compliance with the 
eligibility criteria set forth in Section I of this NOFA. Field Office 
staff will forward an application to Headquarters for entry into the 
lotteries if the application was received by the deadline date, meets 
all eligibility criteria, proposes reasonable costs for eligible 
activities, and includes all technical corrections by the designated 
deadline date.
    (2) ``Reasonable costs'' are further discussed in the application 
kit, but are generally those that are consistent with salaries and 
administrative costs of similar programs in the jurisdiction of the HUD 
Field Office.

(C) Set-Aside

    PIH will first fund any expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service 
Coordinator grants which meet the stipulations of Section I(D)(4) of 
this NOFA, except as otherwise specified. All remaining PIH funds will 
then go to the general PIH lottery (see Section II(D) of this NOFA, 
which follows).

(D) Lotteries

    HUD will hold one separate lottery for each respective group of 
applicants. HUD staff will randomly select applications through these 
lotteries and will continue the process until each Office's allotment 
of approximately $6.5 million is exhausted.

(E) Pooling of Excess Funds

    At the conclusion of the two lotteries, any remaining funds from 
both the PIH and assisted housing allocations will be pooled. Pooling 
these excess funds will allow HUD to determine if one or more 
additional grants are possible. In order to use as many of the residual 
funds as possible, HUD will conduct an additional lottery for any 
unfunded applicants (i.e., from both PIH and assisted housing) 
requesting a grant in an amount equal to or less than the pooled 
amount.

III. Application Submission Requirements

(A) General

    Each application must be submitted in one original and two copies. 
Applications may not be sent by facsimile (FAX).

(B) Required Certifications, Assurances and Other Forms

    All applications for funding under the Service Coordinator Program 
must contain the following documents and information:
    (1) Transmittal letter and request, using the designated format;
    (2) Service Coordinator Certifications;
    (3) Evidence of comparable salaries in local area;
    (4) If quality assurance is included in the proposed budget, a 
justification and explanation of how this work will be performed;
    (5) Applicant checklist;
    (6) For multifamily assisted housing owners, a bank statement 
showing the current residual receipts balance in the development's 
account;
    (7) For multifamily assisted housing developments with AAF, a 
completed form HUD-9833B;
    (8) For PHAs, the PHA's PHMAP Score;
    (9) For PHAs with expiring FY 1995 Elderly Service Coordinator 
grants,

[[Page 29877]]

evidence of grant expenditures that total at least 80 percent (80%) of 
grant funds by the application deadline date;
    (10) Lead agency letter format (if appropriate);
    (11) For PHAs: Certification of Non-Duplication of Funding Request;
    (12) Certification from an Independent Public Accountant or the 
cognizant government auditor stating that the financial management 
system employed by the applicant meets proscribed standards for fund 
control and accountability required by the pertinent OMB Circular.
    (13) Each applicant must also submit signed copies of the following 
forms, assurances and certifications:
    a. Standard form (SF) 424, Standard Form for Application for 
Federal Assistance;
    b. Standard Form (SF) 424-B, Assurances for Non-construction 
Programs;
    c. Drug-Free Workplace Certification (HUD-50070);
    d. Certification and Disclosure Form Regarding Lobbying Activities 
(SF-LLL); and
    e. Applicant/Recipient Disclosure Update Report (HUD-2880).

(C) Corrections to Deficient Applications

    After the application due date, HUD may not, consistent with 24 CFR 
part 4, subpart B, consider unsolicited information from an applicant. 
HUD may contact an applicant, however, to clarify an item in the 
application or to correct technical deficiencies. Applicants should 
note, however, that HUD may not seek clarification of items or 
responses that improve the substantive quality of the applicant's 
response to any eligibility or selection criterion. Examples of curable 
technical deficiencies include failure to submit proper certifications 
or failure to submit the application containing an original signature 
by an authorized official. In each case HUD will notify the applicants 
by facsimile or by return receipt requested. Applicants must submit 
clarifications or corrections of technical deficiencies in accordance 
with the information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the 
date of receipt of the HUD notification. If the deficiency is not 
corrected within this time period, HUD will reject the application as 
incomplete.

IV. Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community 
Development

    HUD believes the best approach for addressing community problems is 
through a community-based process that provides a comprehensive 
response to identified needs. In this spirit, it may be helpful for 
applicants under this NOFA to be aware of other related HUD NOFAs that 
have been published or are expected to be published this fiscal year. 
On March 31, 1998 (63 FR 15490), HUD published in the Federal Register 
its SuperNOFA on Housing and Community Development Programs, which 
covered nineteen HUD Housing and Community Development programs. The 
second SuperNOFA and consolidated application process, which covered 
ten of HUD's Economic Development and Empowerment Programs, was 
published in the Federal Register on April 30, 1998 (63 FR 23876). The 
third SuperNOFA and consolidated application process, also published in 
the Federal Register on April 30, 1998 (63 FR 23988), covered six of 
HUD's Targeted Housing and Homeless Assistance Programs.
    In addition to the three SuperNOFAs, HUD also published on April 
30, 1998 (63 FR 23958) a consolidated NOFA and application process (the 
National SuperNOFA) for three national competition programs: the Fair 
Housing Initiatives Program national Competition; the National Lead 
Hazard Awareness Campaign; and the Housing Counseling national 
Competition.
    By reviewing the SuperNOFAs and other individual NOFAs that HUD may 
publish with respect to their program purposes and the eligibility of 
applicants and activities, applicants may be able to relate the 
activities proposed for funding under this NOFA to upcoming NOFAs and 
the community's Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair 
Housing Choice. Applicants and interested parties may find out more 
about HUD's NOFAs through the HUD web site on the Internet.
    For help in obtaining a copy of your community's Consolidated Plan, 
please contact the community development office of your municipal 
government.

V. Findings and Certifications

Environmental Review

    This NOFA does not direct, provide for assistance or loan and 
mortgage insurance for, or otherwise govern or regulate, real property 
acquisition, disposition, leasing, rehabilitation, alteration, 
demolition, or new construction, or establish, revise or provide for 
standards for construction or construction materials, manufactured 
housing, or occupancy. Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this NOFA 
is categorically excluded from environmental review under the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).

Federalism, Executive Order 12612

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies 
and procedures contained in this notice will not have substantial 
direct effects on States or their political subdivisions, or the 
relationship between the federal government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government. This notice merely invites applications from existing PHAs 
and assisted housing developments for service coordinator grants. As a 
result, the notice is not subject to review under the Order.

Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities

    Applicants for funding under this SuperNOFA are subject to the 
provisions of section 319 of the Department of Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 1991, 31 U.S.C. 1352 (the 
Byrd Amendment), which prohibits recipients of Federal contracts, 
grants, or loans from using appropriated funds for lobbying the 
executive or legislative branches of the Federal Government in 
connection with a specific contract, grant, or loan. Applicants are 
required to certify, using the certification found at Appendix A to 24 
CFR part 87, that they will not, and have not, used appropriated funds 
for any prohibited lobbying activities. In addition, applicants must 
disclose, using Standard Form LLL, ``Disclosure of Lobbying 
Activities,'' any funds, other than Federally appropriated funds, that 
will be or have been used to influence Federal employees, members of 
Congress, and congressional staff regarding specific grants or 
contracts. Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) 
established by an Indian tribe as a result of the exercise of the 
tribe's sovereign power are excluded from coverage of the Byrd 
Amendment, but tribes and TDHEs established under State law are not 
excluded from the statute's coverage.)

Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act; Documentation and Public Access 
Requirements

    Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545) (HUD Reform Act) and the 
regulations codified in 24 CFR part 4, subpart A, contain a number of 
provisions that are designed to ensure greater accountability and 
integrity in the

[[Page 29878]]

provision of certain types of assistance administered by HUD. On 
January 14, 1992 (57 FR 1942), HUD published a notice that also 
provides information on the implementation of section 102. The 
documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section 
102 apply to assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
    (1) Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure 
that documentation and other information regarding each application 
submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate the basis 
upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, including 
any letters of support, will be made available for public inspection 
for a 5-year period beginning not less than 30 days after the award of 
the assistance. Material will be made available in accordance with the 
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing 
regulations in 24 CFR part 15.
    (2) Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for 5 years 
all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in 
connection with this NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made 
available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case 
for a period less than 3 years. All reports--both applicant disclosures 
and updates--will be made available in accordance with the Freedom of 
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 
CFR part 15.

Publication of Recipients of HUD Funding

    HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 4.7 provide that HUD will publish a 
notice in the Federal Register on at least a quarterly basis to notify 
the public of all decisions made by the Department to provide:
    (i) Assistance subject to section 102(a) of the HUD Reform Act; or
    (ii) Assistance that is provided through grants or cooperative 
agreements on a discretionary (non-formula, non-demand) basis, but that 
is not provided on the basis of a competition.

Section 103 HUD Reform Act

    HUD's regulations implementing section 103 of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3537a), 
codified in 24 CFR part 4, apply to this funding competition. The 
regulations continue to apply until the announcement of the selection 
of successful applicants. HUD employees involved in the review of 
applications and in the making of funding decisions are limited by the 
regulations from providing advance information to any person (other 
than an authorized employee of HUD) concerning funding decisions, or 
from otherwise giving any applicant an unfair competitive advantage. 
Persons who apply for assistance in this competition should confine 
their inquiries to the subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
