AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA); Notice of amendment and

clarification.

18444), HUD published a NOFA

announcing the availability of up to

$14,580,530 in Fiscal Year 1995 funding

(FHIP). This document amends the

April 11, 1995 NOFA by removing

certain FY 95 funding restrictions and

extending the application due date.

Additionally, this notice clarifies

several of the NOFA’s provisions in

order to better assist potential

applicants in the preparation of their

applications. This notice also corrects

two typographical errors contained in

the April 11, 1995 NOFA.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the

application kit, please write the Fair

Housing Information Clearinghouse,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. NOFA Amendments

A Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA) announcing the Fiscal Year

(FY) 95 availability of $14,580,530

under the Fair Housing Initiatives

Program (FHIP) was published by HUD

on April 11, 1995 (60 FR 18444). FHIP

assists projects and activities designed

to enforce and enhance compliance with

the Fair Housing Act and substantially

equivalent State and local fair housing

laws. The body of the April 11, 1995

NOFA contains information concerning

the purpose of the NOFA, eligibility,

available amounts, how to apply for

funding, and how selections will be

made.

The April 11, 1995 NOFA establishes

limitations on the number and types of

FY 95 FHIP awards for which an

applicant may apply and receive.

Paragraph I.(d)(4) of the April 11, 1995

NOFA limits applicants to a single

award under the FY 95 NOFA. Further,

the April 11, 1995 NOFA does not

permit recipients of FY 93/94 multi-year

awards to apply for FY 95 multi-year

funds under the same initiative as their

FY 93/94 award. Additionally,

paragraph I.(c)(4)(ii)(C) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA, concerning the

Establishing New Organizations

component of the Fair Housing

Organizations Initiative, states that

preference will be given to proposed

projects in targeted unserved and

underserved areas.

Because of the growing uncertainty

regarding the funding level of FHIP in

future years, the Department has

determined to amend the FY 1995

NOFA to remove the above described

restrictions. These amendments are

intended to increase the number of

organizations that are eligible to seek

funding and the number of awards that

a single organization may receive in the

competition for FHIP funds in FY 1995.

In order to assure that newly eligible

applicants have sufficient time to

prepare their applications for FY 95

FHIP funding, the Department is also

extending the application deadline by

thirty days.

II. NOFA Clarifications

Since the publication of the April 11,

1995 NOFA, several potential applicants

have contacted HUD with questions

regarding some of the NOFA provisions.

HUD is publishing this notice, clarifying

several provisions of the April 11, 1995

NOFA, in order to better assist potential

applicants in the preparation of their

applications.

a. Use of the Term Nonprofit

Paragraphs I.(c)(2)(i)(D) and

I.(c)(4)(i)(A) (2) and (3) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA include certain nonprofit

organizations in the lists of eligible

applicants for the Education and

Outreach Initiative and the Continued

Development of Existing Organizations

component of the Fair Housing

Organizations Initiative.

As used in paragraphs I.(c)(2)(i)(D)

and I.(c)(4)(i)(A) (2) and (3) of the April

11, 1995 NOFA, the term ‘‘nonprofit’’

applies to those organizations,

institutions or groups organized for

purposes other than making a profit or

gain for themselves. However, the use of

the term ‘‘nonprofit’’ does not imply

tax-exempt status under section

501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Accordingly, eligible applicants under

paragraphs I.(c)(2)(i)(D) and I.(c)(4)(i)(A)

(2) and (3) of the April 11, 1995 NOFA

are not required to be tax-exempt.

Where an applicant must be both tax

exempt and nonprofit, this is explicitly

indicated in the NOFA, for example, in

the definitions of ‘‘fair housing

enforcement organization’’ and

‘‘qualified fair housing enforcement

organization.’’

b. Private Enforcement Initiative Funds

Utilized to Promote Awareness

Some potential applicants have

expressed concerns that education and

outreach efforts necessary to support

enforcement activities would not be

possible without submitting separate

applications for enforcement projects

and education and outreach projects.

However, the NOFA does permit such

supporting efforts. As provided in

paragraph I.(c)(3)(ii) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA, applicants under the

Private Enforcement (PE) Initiative may

utilize 20 percent of requested funds to

promote awareness of the services

provided by the project. However, such

promotion must be necessary for the

successful implementation of the

project. In addition, this notice removes

the single award provision which

prompted this concern.

c. Award Caps on Multi-Year Awards

The April 11, 1995 NOFA establishes

caps on multi-year awards under the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 103 / Tuesday, May 30, 1995 / Notices 28163

Private Enforcement (PE) Initiative and

the Establishing New Organizations

Component of the Fair Housing

Organizations (FHO) Initiative.

Recipients of multi-year PE Initiative

awards will receive a maximum, total

amount of $600,000 for the entire fouryear award period. Similarly, recipients

of multi-year awards under the

Establishing New Organizations

Component of the FHO Initiative will

receive a maximum, total amount of

$500,000 for the entire three-year award

period. Recipients of multi-year awards

are not required to budget funding

equally for each year of the award

period; however, the award must

sustain grant activities over the entire

multi-year period.

d. Independence of Awards

Paragraph I.(d)(5) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA states that ‘‘each project or

activity proposed in an application must

be independent and capable of being

implemented without reliance on the

selection of other applications

submitted by the applicant or other

applicants.’’ Paragraph I.(d)(5) does not

preclude an applicant from submitting a

proposal which includes other

organizations as subcontractors to the

proposed project or activity.

e. Eligible Activities Under the

Education and Outreach Initiative

Paragraph I.(c)(2)(ii) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA states that ‘‘each

application for Education and Outreach

Initiative funding must identify if it

proposes a national, Fair Housing

Month, regional or local, or communitybased program.’’ Paragraphs I.(c)(2)(ii)

(1)–(16) set forth a list of eligible

activities that may be funded through

the Education and Outreach Initiative.

This list is not an exclusive, complete

list of eligible activities, but only serves

to demonstrate examples of eligible

activities. However, the scope of the

eligible activity is limited to the level

(national, regional or local, or

community-based) at which funding is

sought. For example, an applicant

proposing to develop a communitybased media campaign would apply

under the community-based component,

while an applicant proposing to develop

a national media campaign would apply

under the national program component.

f. Eligible Activities Under the Private

Enforcement Initiative

Paragraph I.(c)(3)(ii) of the April 11,

1995 NOFA sets forth examples of the

types of activities that may be funded

through the PE Initiative. These are only

examples and none of these activities,

nor any other activities, have been

singled out for any form of preferential

consideration.

III. Technical Corrections

The third sentence of paragraph

I.(c)(4) of the April 11, 1995 NOFA, Fair

Housing Organizations (FHO) Initiative,

reads: ‘‘ The amount of $945,482 is

made available under this NOFA for the

continued development of new

organizations.’’ The sentence should

read ‘‘for the continued development of

existing organizations. This notice

deletes the word ‘‘new’’ and replaces it

with the word ‘‘existing.’’

On page 18448, in column 1, the two

paragraphs immediately following

paragraph I.(c)(4)(ii)(A), Eligible

applicants, are designated as paragraphs

I.(c)(4)(ii)(A) (A) and (B), respectively.

These paragraphs should be designated

as I.(c)(4)(ii)(A) (1) and (2), respectively.

This notice makes the necessary

correction.

Accordingly, FR Doc. 95–3901, the FY

95 NOFA for the Fair Housing

Initiatives Program (FHIP), published in

the Federal Register on April 11, 1995

(60 FR 18444) is corrected and amended

as follows:

1. On page 18444, in column 1, the

second paragraph, DATES, is amended

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.

2. Under the heading of ‘‘I. Purpose

and Substantive Description’’ beginning

on page 18444, the following

amendments are made:

a. On page 18445, in columns 1 and

2, the last two sentences of the second

and a conforming amendment is made

h. On page 18448, in column 2, the

second sentence of paragraph

I.(c)(4)(ii)(D)(1) is removed; and

i. On page 18449, in column 3,
