SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have 
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under 
section 3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), and assigned OMB Control Number 2502-0267.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

    Section 801 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing 
Act (NAHA) (Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990), amended 
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 1701q). Section 202 
was also amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 
(HCD Act of 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992). The 
Secretary is authorized to provide assistance to private nonprofit 
organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives to expand the supply 
of supportive housing for the elderly. HUD provides the assistance as 
capital advances and contracts for project rental assistance in 
accordance with 24 CFR part 889. This assistance may be used to finance 
the construction or rehabilitation of a structure, or acquisition of a 
structure from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), to be used as 
supportive housing for the elderly in accordance with part 889.
    For supportive housing for the elderly, the Departments of Veterans 
Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 1995 (Pub. L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994) 
(Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations Act) provides $1,279,000,000 for 
capital advances, including amendments to capital advance contracts 
(not procurement contracts), for housing for the elderly as authorized 
by section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, (as amended by the NAHA and 
HCD Act of 1992), and for project rental assistance, and amendments to 
contracts for project rental assistance, for supportive housing for the 
elderly under section 202(c)(2) of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended. 
The Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations Act further provides that 
$22,000,000 of the above total shall be for service coordinators 
pursuant to section 202(q) of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended, and 
subtitle E of title VI of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1992, other than section 676 of such Act and section 8(d)(2)(F)(i) of 
the Act. Any unreserved balances provided in prior years for such 
purposes are to be merged with amounts provided in the Fiscal Year 1995 
Appropriations Act.
    In accordance with an agreement between HUD and the Administration 
for Rural Housing and Economic Development Services (ARHEDS) (formerly 
the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), which facilitates the 
coordination between the two agencies in administering their respective 
rental assistance programs, HUD is required to notify ARHEDS of 
applications for housing assistance it receives. This notification 
gives ARHEDS the opportunity to comment if it has concerns about the 
demand for additional assisted housing and possible harm to existing 
projects in the same housing market area. HUD will consider the ARHEDS 
comments in its review and project selection process.

B. Allocation Amounts

    In accordance with 24 CFR part 791, the Assistant Secretary will 
allocate the amounts available for capital advances for supportive 
housing for the elderly. HUD reserves project rental assistance funds 
sufficient for 20-year project rental assistance contracts in support 
of the units selected for capital advances, consistent with current 
operating cost standards.
    The allocation formula for Section 202 funds consists of a measure 
of the number of one- and two-person elderly renter households with 
incomes at or below the very low income limit (50 percent of area 
median family income, as determined by HUD, with an adjustment for 
household size) that have housing deficiencies.
    Since the allocations to some HUD Offices are not sufficient to 
develop feasible projects in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan 
areas, the funds may be allocated to only one of the geographical 
areas. HUD Offices that have an allocation for only one area may accept 
applications for the other area. However, these applications can only 
be funded by that HUD Office after all other approvable applications 
submitted in response to the advertised allocation area have been 
funded by that HUD Office.
    Applicants for capital advances in the area served by the Wisconsin 
State HUD Office are hereby put on notice that the capital advance 
amount available to the Wisconsin Office, as stated in this NOFA, may 
be reduced or eliminated due to ongoing legal proceedings between HUD 
and the City of [[Page 27613]] Milwaukee, and that the determination of 
whether to reduce or eliminate those funds is entirely within the 
discretion of HUD. If HUD takes such action or actions, it will publish 
a notice to that effect in the Federal Register.
    Based on the allocation formula, HUD has allocated the available 
capital advance funds as shown on the following chart:

C. Eligibility

    Private, nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer 
cooperatives are the only eligible applicants under this program. 
Neither a public body nor an instrumentality of a public body is 
eligible to participate in the program. No organization shall 
participate as Sponsor or Co-sponsor in the filing of application(s) 
for a capital advance in a single geographical region in this fiscal 
year in excess of that necessary to finance the construction, 
rehabilitation, or acquisition (acquisition permitted only with RTC 
properties) of 300 units of housing and related facilities for the 
elderly. This limit shall apply to organizations that participate as 
Co-sponsors regardless of whether the Co-sponsors are affiliated or 
nonaffiliated entities. In addition, the national limit for any one 
applicant is 10 percent of the total units allocated in all HUD 
Offices. Affiliated entities that submit separate applications shall be 
deemed to be a single entity for the purposes of these limits. No 
single application may propose more than the number of units allocated 
to a HUD Office or 125 units, whichever is less. Reservations for 
projects will not be approved for less than 5 units.

D. Initial Screening, Technical Processing, and Selection Criteria

1. Initial Screening
    HUD will review applications for Section 202 capital advances that 
are received by HUD at the appropriate address by 4 p.m. local time on 
July 24, 1995, to determine if all parts of the application are 
included. HUD will not review the content of the application as part of 
initial screening. HUD will send deficiency letters, by certified mail, 
informing Sponsors of any missing parts of the application. Sponsors 
must correct such deficiencies within 14 calendar days from the date of 
the deficiency letter. Any document requested as a result of the 
initial screening may be executed or prepared within the deficiency 
period, except for Forms HUD-92015-CAs, Articles of Incorporation, IRS 
exemption rulings, Forms SF-424, Board Resolution committing the 
minimum capital investment, and site control documents (all of these 
excepted items must be dated no later than the application deadline 
date).

    Note: SPONSORS OF PROJECTS IN OKLAHOMA MAY SUBMIT THE 
CERTIFICATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AFTER THE 
APPLICATION DEADLINE DATE BUT NO LATER THAN AUGUST 25, 1995. If this 
is the only deficiency discovered during initial screening, affected 
Sponsors will not receive a deficiency letter.
2. Technical Processing
    All applications will be placed in technical processing upon 
receipt of the response to the deficiency letter or at the end of the 
14-day period. These applications will undergo a complete analysis. If 
a reviewer finds that clarification is needed to complete the review, 
or an exhibit is missing that was not requested after initial 
screening, the reviewer shall immediately advise the Multifamily 
Housing Representative, who will: (a) Request, by telephone, that the 
Sponsor submit the information within five (5) working days; and (b) 
follow up by certified letter. Communications must be attached to the 
technical review and findings memorandum. As part of this analysis, HUD 
will conduct its environmental review in accordance with 24 CFR part 
50.
    Examples of reasons for technical processing rejection include an 
ineligible Sponsor, ineligible population to be served, lack of legal 
capacity, lack of site control, and unacceptable site based upon a site 
visit. The Secretary will not reject an application based on technical 
processing without giving notice of that rejection with all rejection 
reasons, and affording the applicant an opportunity to appeal. HUD will 
afford an applicant 14 calendar days from the date of HUD's written 
notice to appeal a technical rejection to the HUD Office. The HUD 
Office must respond within five working days to the Sponsor. The HUD 
Office shall make a determination on an appeal prior to making its 
selection recommendations. All applications will be either rated or 
technically rejected at the end of technical processing.
    Technical processing will also assure that the Sponsor has complied 
with the [[Page 27615]] requirements in the civil rights certification 
(24 CFR 890.265(b)(9)(i)). There must not have been an adjudication of 
a civil rights violation in a civil action brought against the Sponsor 
by a private individual, unless the Sponsor is operating in compliance 
with a court order, or implementing a HUD-approved compliance agreement 
designed to correct the areas of noncompliance. There must be no 
pending civil rights suits against the Sponsor instituted by the 
Department of Justice, and no pending administrative actions for civil 
rights violations instituted by HUD (including a charge of 
discrimination under the Fair Housing Act). There must be no 
outstanding findings of noncompliance with civil rights statutes, 
Executive Orders, or regulations, as a result of formal administrative 
proceedings, nor any charges issued by the Secretary against the 
Sponsor under the Fair Housing Act, unless the Sponsor is operating 
under a conciliation or compliance agreement designed to correct the 
areas of noncompliance. Moreover, there must not be a deferral of the 
processing of applications from the Sponsor imposed by HUD under Title 
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, HUD's implementing regulations (24 
CFR 1.8), procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1), and the Attorney General's 
Guidelines (28 CFR 50.3); or under section 504 of the Rehabilitation 
Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations (24 CFR 8.57), and the 
Americans with Disabilities Act.
    Upon completion of technical processing, all acceptable 
applications will be rated according to the selection criteria in 
Sec. 889.300(d) (also below in section I.D.3. of this NOFA). 
Applications, submitted in response to the advertised allocation 
(metropolitan and/or nonmetropolitan), which have a total score of 50 
points or more will be eligible for selection and will be placed in 
rank order. These applications will be selected based on rank order, to 
and including the last application that can be funded out of the local 
HUD Office's allocation. Local HUD Offices will no longer skip over any 
applications in order to select one based on the funds remaining. HUD 
Offices that have an allocation for only one area (metropolitan or 
nonmetropolitan, due to limited allocations) may fund applications in 
rank order from other areas in that Office that did not receive an 
allocation. These selections would be made only after funding all 
applications eligible in the advertised allocation area, and only for 
any remaining funds. Funds remaining after these two processes are 
completed will be returned to Headquarters for selecting applications 
on a national rank order.
3. Selection Criteria
    Applications for Section 202 capital advances that successfully 
complete technical processing will be rated using the following 
selection criteria:
    (a) The Sponsor's ability to develop and operate the proposed 
housing on a long-term basis, considering the following (60 points 
maximum--55 base points plus 5 bonus points):
    (1) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in 
providing housing or related services to those proposed to be served by 
the project, and the scope of the proposed project (i.e., number of 
units, services, relocation costs, development, and operation) in 
relationship to the Sponsor's demonstrated development and management 
capacity. (30 points);
    (2) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in 
providing housing or related services to minority persons or families 
(8 points);
    (3) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in 
providing opportunities for minority- and women-owned business 
enterprises participation (5 points); and
    (4) The extent of local community support for the project and for 
the Sponsor's activities, including previous experience in serving the 
area where the project is to be located, and Sponsor's demonstrated 
ability to enlist volunteers and raise local funds (12 points);
    (5) The Sponsor's involvement of elderly persons, including 
minority elderly persons, in the development of the application and its 
intent to involve elderly persons, including minority elderly persons, 
in the development of the project (5 bonus points);
    (b) The need for supportive housing for the elderly in the area to 
be served and the suitability of the site, considering (25 points 
maximum):
    (1) The extent of the need for the project in the area based on a 
determination by the HUD Office. HUD will make this determination by 
considering the Sponsor's evidence of need in the area based on the 
guidelines in Sec. 889.270(b)(17), as well as other economic, 
demographic, and housing market data available to the HUD Office. The 
data could include the availability of existing Federally assisted 
housing (HUD and ARHEDS) (e.g., considering availability and vacancy 
rates of public housing) for the elderly and current occupancy in such 
facilities, Federally assisted housing for the elderly under 
construction or for which fund reservations have been issued, and in 
accordance with an agreement between HUD and the ARHEDS, comments from 
the ARHEDS on the demand for additional assisted housing and the 
possible harm to existing projects in the same housing market area (8 
points).
    (2) The proximity or accessibility of the site to shopping, medical 
facilities, transportation, places of worship, recreational facilities, 
places of employment, and other necessary services to the intended 
occupants; adequacy of utilities and streets; freedom of the site from 
adverse environmental conditions; compliance with site and neighborhood 
standards (10 points); and
    (3) Suitability of the site from the standpoint of promoting a 
greater choice of housing opportunities for minority elderly persons/
families (7 points).
    (c) Adequacy of the provision of supportive services and of the 
proposed facility, considering (20 points maximum):
    (1) The extent to which the proposed design will meet the special 
physical needs of elderly persons (3 points);
    (2) The extent to which the proposed size and unit mix of the 
housing will enable the Sponsor to manage and operate the housing 
efficiently and ensure that the provision of supportive services will 
be accomplished in an economical fashion (4 points);
    (3) The extent to which the proposed design of the housing will 
accommodate the provision of supportive services that are expected to 
be needed, initially and over the useful life of the housing, by the 
category or categories of elderly persons the housing is intended to 
serve (3 points);
    (4) The extent to which the proposed supportive services meet the 
identified needs of the residents (5 points); and
    (5) The extent to which the Sponsor demonstrated that the 
identified supportive services will be provided on a consistent, long-
term basis (5 points); and
    (d) The project will be located within the boundaries of a 
Federally-designated Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental Empowerment 
Zone, Enterprise Community, or Urban Enhanced Enterprise Community (5 
bonus points). The maximum number of points an application can earn 
without bonus points is 100. An application can earn an additional 
bonus points for a maximum total of 125 points.
II. Application Process

    All applications for Section 202 capital advances submitted by 
eligible Sponsors must be filed with the appropriate HUD Office 
receiving an allocation and must meet the [[Page 27616]] requirements 
of this NOFA. No application will be accepted after 4 p.m. local time 
on July 24, 1995, unless that date and time is extended by a Notice 
published in the Federal Register. Applications received after that 
date and time will not be accepted, even if postmarked by the deadline 
date. Applications submitted by facsimile are not acceptable.
    Immediately upon publication of this NOFA, if names have not 
already been provided to the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse, HUD 
Offices shall notify elderly and minority media, all persons and 
organizations on their mailing lists, minority and other organizations 
within their jurisdiction involved in housing and community 
development, and groups with special interest in housing for elderly 
households.
    Organizations interested in applying for a section 202 capital 
advance should contact the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse at 1-800-
685-8470 for a copy of the application package, and advise the HUD 
Office whether they wish to attend the workshop described below. HUD 
encourages minority organizations to participate in this program as 
Sponsors. HUD Offices will advise all organizations on their mailing 
list of the date, time, and place of workshops at which HUD will 
explain the Section 202 program.
    HUD strongly recommends that prospective applicants attend the 
local HUD Office workshop. Interested persons with disabilities should 
contact the HUD Office to assure that any necessary arrangements can be 
made to enable their attendance and participation in the workshop. 
While strongly urged to do so, if Sponsors cannot attend a workshop, 
they can obtain Application Packages from the Multifamily Housing 
Clearinghouse (see address and telephone number in the ``Application 
Package'' section of this NOFA, above). Contact the appropriate HUD 
Office with any questions regarding the submission of applications.
    At the workshops, HUD will explain application procedures and 
requirements. HUD will also address concerns such as local market 
conditions, building codes, historic preservation, floodplain 
management, displacement and relocation, zoning, and housing costs.

III. Application Submission Requirements

A. Application

    Each application shall include all of the information, materials, 
forms, and exhibits listed in section III.B., below (with the exception 
of applications submitted by Sponsors selected for a Section 202 fund 
reservation within the last three funding cycles), and must be indexed 
and tabbed. Previously selected Section 202 Sponsors are not required 
to submit the information described in B.2.(a), (b), and (c), below 
(Exhibits 2.a., b., and c. of the application), which are the articles 
of incorporation, (or other organizational documents), by-laws, and the 
IRS tax exemption, respectively. If there has been a change in any of 
the eligibility documents since its previous HUD approval, the Sponsor 
must submit the updated information in its application. The local HUD 
Office will base its determination of the eligibility of a new Sponsor 
for a reservation of Section 202 capital advance funds on the 
information provided in the application. HUD Offices will verify a 
Sponsor's indication of previous HUD approval by checking the project 
number and approval status with the appropriate HUD Office.
    In addition to this relief of paperwork burden in preparing 
applications, applicants will be able to use information and exhibits 
previously prepared for prior applications under Section 202, Section 
811, or other funding programs. Examples of exhibits that may be 
readily adapted or amended to decrease the burden of application 
preparation include, among others, those on previous participation in 
the Section 202 or Section 811 programs, applicant experience in 
provision of housing and services, supportive services plan, community 
ties, and experience serving minorities.

B. General Application Requirements

    1. Form HUD-92015-CA, Application for Section 202 Supportive 
Housing Capital Advance.
    2. Evidence of each Sponsor's legal status as a private, nonprofit 
organization or nonprofit consumer cooperative, including the 
following:
    (a) Articles of Incorporation, constitution, or other 
organizational documents;
    (b) By-laws;
    (c) IRS tax exemption ruling (this must be submitted by all 
Sponsors, including churches). A consumer cooperative that is tax 
exempt under State law, has never been liable for payment of Federal 
income taxes, and does not pay patronage dividends may be exempt from 
the requirement set out in the previous sentence if it is not eligible 
for tax exemption. Under previous funding rounds, the above provision 
was also true for nonprofit organizations organized in Puerto Rico and 
Guam. HUD has now learned that nonprofits in Puerto Rico and Guam may 
apply and be granted IRS section 501(c)(3) tax exemption rulings. 
Therefore, to the extent permitted within the application period for 
this NOFA, Sponsors should pursue a tax exemption ruling under 
501(c)(3). If a Sponsor is unable, after using its best efforts, to 
secure such a ruling, it may use the regulatory exemption described in 
this paragraph (c), above.

    Note: SPONSORS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A SECTION 202 FUND RESERVATION 
WITHIN THE LAST THREE FUNDING CYCLES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE 
DOCUMENTS DESCRIBED IN (a), (b), and (c), ABOVE. INSTEAD, SPONSORS 
MUST SUBMIT THE PROJECT NUMBER OF THE LATEST APPLICATION AND THE HUD 
OFFICE TO WHICH IT WAS SUBMITTED. IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY 
MODIFICATIONS OR ADDITIONS TO THE SUBJECT DOCUMENTS, INDICATE SUCH, 
AND SUBMIT THE NEW MATERIAL.

    (d) Resolution of the board, duly certified by an officer, that no 
officer or director of the Sponsor or Owner has or will have any 
financial interest in any contract with the Owner or in any firm or 
corporation that has or will have a contract with the Owner and that 
includes a current listing of all duly qualified and sitting officers 
and directors by title, and the beginning and ending date of each 
person's term.
    3. Sponsor's purpose, community ties, and experience, including the 
following:
    (a) A description of Sponsor's purposes and activities, ties to the 
community, and minority support, and how long the Sponsor has been in 
existence (include any additional related information);
    (b) A description of Sponsor's housing and/or supportive services 
experience. The description should include any rental housing projects 
and/or medical facilities, sponsored, owned, and operated by the 
Sponsor, the Sponsor's past or current involvement in any programs 
other than housing that demonstrates the Sponsor's management 
capabilities and experience, and the Sponsor's experience in serving 
the elderly and/or families and minorities;
    (c) A description of Sponsor's experience in contracting with 
minority- and women-owned businesses including a summary of the total 
amount awarded in each of the two categories for the preceding three 
years, and the percentage that amount represents of all contracts 
awarded by the Sponsor in the relevant time period;
    (d) A certified Board Resolution, acknowledging responsibilities of 
sponsorship, long-term support of the project(s), willingness of 
Sponsor to [[Page 27617]] assist the Owner to develop, own, manage, and 
provide appropriate services in connection with the proposed project, 
and that it reflects the will of its membership. Also, evidence, in the 
form of a certified Board Resolution, of the Sponsor's willingness to 
fund the estimated start-up expenses, the Minimum Capital Investment 
(one-half of one percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to 
exceed $10,000, if nonaffiliated with a National Sponsor; one-half of 
one percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to exceed $25,000, 
for all other Sponsors; see Sec. 889.250), and the estimated cost of 
any amenities or features (and operating costs related thereto) that 
would not be covered by the approved capital advance.
    (e) Description, if applicable, of the Sponsor's efforts to involve 
elderly persons, including minority elderly persons, in the development 
of the application, as well as its intent to involve elderly persons in 
the development of the project.
    4. Project information, including the following:
    (a) Evidence of need for supportive housing. Such evidence would 
include a description of the category or categories of elderly persons 
the housing is intended to serve and evidence demonstrating sustained 
effective demand for supportive housing for that population in the 
market area to be served, taking into consideration the occupancy and 
vacancy conditions in existing Federally assisted housing for the 
elderly (HUD and ARHEDS; e.g., public housing); State or local data on 
the limitations in activities of daily living among the elderly in the 
area; aging in place in existing assisted rentals; trends in 
demographic changes in elderly population and households; the numbers 
of income eligible elderly households by size, tenure, and housing 
condition, the types of supportive services arrangements currently 
available in the area and the use of such services as evidenced by data 
from local social service agencies or agencies on aging.
    (b) Description of the project, including the following:
    (1) Narrative description of the building design, including a 
description of any special design features and community space, and how 
this design will facilitate the delivery of services in an economical 
fashion and accommodate the changing needs of the residents over the 
next 10-20 years.
    (2) Describe whether and how the project will promote energy 
efficiency, and, if applicable, innovative construction or 
rehabilitation methods or technologies to be used that will promote 
efficient construction.
    (c) Evidence of site control and permissive zoning.
    (1) Evidence that the Sponsor has entered into a legally binding 
option agreement to buy or lease the proposed site; or has a copy of 
the contract of sale for the site, a deed, long-term leasehold, a 
request with all supporting documentation, submitted either prior to or 
with the Application for Capital Advance, for a partial release of a 
site covered by a mortgage under a HUD program, or other evidence of 
legal ownership of the site (including properties to be acquired from 
the Resolution Trust Corporation). The option agreement period must 
extend through the end of the current fiscal year and contain a renewal 
provision so that the option can be renewed for at least an additional 
six months. The Sponsor must also identify any restrictive covenants, 
including reverter clauses. In the case of a site to be acquired from a 
public body, evidence that the public body possesses clear title to the 
site, and has entered into a legally binding agreement to lease or 
convey the site to the Sponsor after it receives and accepts a notice 
of Section 202 capital advance and identification of any restrictive 
covenants, including reverter clauses. However, in localities where HUD 
determines the time constraints of the funding round will not permit 
all of the required official actions (e.g., approval of Community 
Planning Boards) that are necessary to convey publicly-owned sites, a 
letter in the application from the mayor or director of the appropriate 
local agency indicating approval of conveyance of the site contingent 
upon the necessary approval action is acceptable and may be approved by 
the HUD Office if it has satisfactory experience with timely conveyance 
of sites from that public body. In such cases, documentation shall also 
include a copy of the public body's evidence of ownership and 
identification of any restrictive covenants, including reverter 
clauses. For properties to be acquired from the RTC, include a copy of 
the RTC prepared Transaction Screen Checklist or Phase I Environmental 
Site Assessment, and applicable documentation, per the RTC 
Environmental Guidelines.

    Note: A PROPOSED PROJECT SITE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED OR OPTIONED 
FROM A GENERAL CONTRACTOR (OR ITS AFFILIATE) THAT WILL CONSTRUCT THE 
SECTION 202 PROJECT OR FROM ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT TEAM MEMBER.

    (2) Evidence that the project as proposed is permissible under 
applicable zoning ordinances or regulations, or a statement of the 
proposed action required to make the proposed project permissible and 
the basis for belief that the proposed action will be completed 
successfully before the submission of the commitment application (e.g., 
a summary of the results of any recent requests for rezoning on land in 
similar zoning classifications and the time required for such rezoning, 
preliminary indications of acceptability from zoning bodies, etc.).
    (3) Narrative description of site and area surrounding the site, 
characteristics of neighborhood, how the site will promote greater 
housing opportunities for minorities, and any other information that 
affects the suitability of the site for the elderly.
    (4) A map showing the location of the site and the racial 
composition of the neighborhood, with the area of racial concentration 
delineated.
    (5) A Transaction Screen Process, in accordance with the American 
Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) Standards E 1528-93 and E 1527-
93, as amended. If the completion of the Transaction Screen 
Questionnaire results in either a ``yes'' or ``unknown'' response, 
further study is required, and the Sponsor must complete a Phase I 
Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with the ASTM and submit it 
with the application. If the Phase I study indicates the possible 
presence of contamination and/or hazards, further study must be 
undertaken. At this point, the Sponsor must decide whether to continue 
with this site or choose another site. Should the Sponsor choose 
another site, the same environmental site assessment procedure 
identified above must be followed for that site. Since all Transaction 
Screen processes and Phase I studies must be completed and submitted 
with the application, it is important that the Sponsor start the site 
assessment process as soon after the publication of this NOFA as 
possible.
    If the Sponsor chooses to continue with the original site, then it 
must undertake a detailed Phase II Environmental Site Assessment by an 
appropriate professional.

    Note: THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING. THE COST OF THE 
STUDY WILL BE BORNE BY THE SPONSOR IF THE APPLICATION IS NOT 
SELECTED.

    If the Phase II Assessment reveals site contamination the extent of 
the contamination, and a plan for clean-up of the site must be 
submitted to the local HUD Office. The plan for clean-up must 
[[Page 27618]] include a contract for remediation of the problem(s) and 
an approval letter from the applicable Federal, State, and/or local 
agency with jurisdiction over the site. In order for the application to 
be considered for review under this FY 1995 funding, this information 
would have to be submitted to the local HUD Office no later than August 
16, 1995.
    (d) Provision of supportive services and proposed facility.
    (1) A detailed description of the supportive services proposed to 
be provided to the anticipated occupancy.
    (2) Form HUD 92013E, Supplemental Application Processing Form--
Housing for the Elderly. Identify all supportive services, if any, to 
be provided to the persons occupying such housing.
    (3) A description of public or private sources of assistance that 
reasonably could be expected to fund the proposed services.
    (4) The manner in which such services will be provided to such 
persons (i.e., on or off-site), including whether a service coordinator 
will facilitate the adequate provision of such services, and how the 
services will meet the identified needs of the residents.
    5. A list of the applications, if any, the Sponsor has submitted or 
is planning to submit to any other HUD Office in response to this NOFA 
or the NOFA for Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities 
(published elsewhere in today's Federal Register). Indicate by HUD 
Office, the proposed location by city and State, and the number of 
units requested for each application. Include a list of all FY 1994 and 
prior year projects to which the Sponsor(s) is a party, identified by 
project number and HUD Office, which have not been finally closed.
    6. HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report, 
including Social Security Numbers and Employee Identification Numbers.
    7. E.O. 12372. A certification that the Sponsor has submitted a 
copy of its applications, if required, to the State agency (single 
point of contact) for State review in accordance with Executive Order 
12372.
    8. A statement that (a) identifies all persons (families,

race/minority group, and status as owners or tenants, occupying the 
property on the date of submission of the application for a capital 
advance; (b) indicates the estimated cost of relocation payments and 
other services; and (c) identifies the staff organization that will 
carry out the relocation activities.

    Note: IF ANY OF THE RELOCATION COSTS WILL BE FUNDED FROM SOURCES 
OTHER THAN THE SECTION 202 CAPITAL ADVANCE, THE SPONSOR MUST PROVIDE 
EVIDENCE OF A FIRM COMMITMENT OF THESE FUNDS. WHEN EVALUATING 
APPLICATIONS, HUD WILL CONSIDER THE TOTAL COST OF PROPOSALS (I.E., 
COST OF SITE ACQUISITION, RELOCATION, CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PROJECT 
COSTS).

    9. SF-424. A certification on SF-424, Application for Federal 
Assistance, that the Sponsor(s) is not delinquent on the repayment of 
any Federal debt.
    10. Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. If the amount applied for is

required by 24 CFR part 87 must be included. If the amount applied for 
is greater than $100,000, and the applicant has made or has agreed to 
make any payment using nonappropriated funds for lobbying activity, as 
described in 24 CFR part 87, the submission must also include SF-LLL, 
Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. The applicant determines if the 
submission of the SF-LLL form is applicable.
    11. Sponsor Certifications.
    (a) A certification of the Sponsor(s)' intent to comply with 
section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and the

implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 135; the Age Discrimination Act 
of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-6107) and the implementing regulations at 24 
CFR Part 146; Executive Order 11246 (as amended) and the implementing 
regulations at 41 CFR Chapter 60; the regulations implementing 
Executive Order 11063 (Equal Opportunity in Housing) at 24 CFR Part 
107; the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) to 
the extent applicable; the affirmative fair housing marketing

    (c) A certification that the project will comply with HUD's design 
and cost standards; the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and 
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 40; Section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR 
part 8; and for covered multifamily dwellings designed and constructed 
for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, the design and construction 
requirements of the Fair Housing Act and HUD's implementing regulations 
at 24 CFR part 100; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
    (d) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will comply (or has 
complied) with the acquisition and relocation requirements of the 
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies 
Act of 1970, as amended (URA), implemented by regulations at 49 CFR 
part 24, and 24 CFR 889.265(e).
    (e) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will form an Owner 
(as defined in 24 CFR 889.105) after the issuance of the capital 
advance, will cause the Owner to file a request for determination of 
eligibility and a request for capital advance under Sec. 889.300, and 
will provide sufficient resources to the Owner to insure the 
development and long-term operation of the project, including 
capitalizing the Owner at conditional commitment processing in an 
amount sufficient to meet its obligations in connection with the 
project.
    (f) Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (Plan) 
for the jurisdiction in which the proposed project will be located must 
be submitted by the Sponsor (see NOTE below if the jurisdiction does 
not have an approved Plan). The certification must be made by the unit 
of general local government if it is required to have, or has, a 
complete Plan. Otherwise the certification may be made by the State, or 
if the project will be located in a unit of general local government 
authorized to use an abbreviated strategy, by the unit of general local 
government if it is willing to prepare such a Plan.
    All certifications must be made by the public official responsible 
for submitting the Plan to HUD. The certifications must be submitted as 
part of the application by the application submission deadline set 
forth in this NOFA, except as provided in the next paragraph. The Plan 
regulations are published in 24 CFR part 91.

    Notes: (1) If the jurisdiction's plan program year has not yet 
started, the jurisdiction may certify consistency with their FY 1994 
CHAS in lieu of the plan. A notice published in the February 6, 1995 
Federal Register (60 FR 6967) established that a jurisdiction's 
previously approved CHAS will remain in effect until the start date 
of the jurisdiction's new consolidated program year, at which 
[[Page 27619]] point the jurisdiction's new plan would take effect. 
The notice also allows jurisdictions to use their annual plan for FY 
1994 as extended by the February 6, 1995 Federal Register notice for 
the purpose of certifications of consistency.
    (2) Sponsors of projects in Oklahoma may submit the 
certification of consistency with the consolidated plan after the 
application deadline date but no later than August 25, 1995.

IV. Other Matters

A. Environmental Impact

    A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
has been made in accordance with HUD regulations that implement section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
4332). The Finding of No Significant Impact is available for public 
inspection during business hours in the Office of the Rules Docket 
Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.

B. Federalism Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that this NOFA 
does not have substantial direct effects on States or their political 
subdivisions, or on the relationship between the Federal government and 
the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among 
the various levels of government. This NOFA merely notifies the public 
of the availability of capital advances and project rental assistance 
for supportive housing for the elderly.

C. Family Executive Order

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, the Family, has determined that this NOFA does not have 
the potential for significant impact on family formation, maintenance, 
or general well-being. This NOFA may have a positive though indirect 
effect on families, to the extent that families will benefit from the 
provision of supportive housing for elderly persons. Since any effect 
on families is beneficial, this NOFA is not subject to review under the 
Order.

D. Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance

    HUD has promulgated a final rule to implement section 102 of the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD 
Reform Act). The final rule is codified at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102 
contains a number of provisions that are designed to ensure greater 
accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of 
assistance administered by HUD. On January 14, 1992, HUD published in 
the Federal Register (57 FR 1942) additional information that gave the 
public (including applicants for and recipients of HUD assistance) 
further information on the implementation, public access, and 
disclosure requirements of section 102. The documentation, public 
access, and disclosure requirements of section 102 are applicable to 
assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
1. Documentation and Public Access
    HUD will ensure 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 five-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 at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will 
include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its 
Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on 
a competitive basis. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice 
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for 
further information on these requirements.)
2. Disclosures
    HUD will make available to the public for five 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 
three 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. (See 
24 CFR subpart C, and the notice published in the Federal Register on 
January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on these 
disclosure requirements.)

E. Documentation and Public Access Requirements: HUD Reform Act

    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 five-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 at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will 
include the recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its 
Federal Register notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on 
a competitive basis. (See CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice 
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for 
further information on these requirements.)

F. Section 103

    HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13, 
1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That 
regulation, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding 
competition announced today. The requirements of the rule 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 restrained by part 4 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.
    Applicants who have questions should contact the HUD Office of 
Ethics (202) 708-3815 (TDD/Voice). (This is not a toll-free number.) 
The Office of Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD 
employees, as well. However, a HUD employee who has specific program 
questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed 
with persons outside HUD, should contact his or her HUD Office Counsel, 
or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question pertains.

G. Lobbying

    Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
(42 U.S.C. 3537b) contains two provisions dealing with efforts to 
influence HUD's decisions with respect to financial assistance. The 
first imposes disclosure requirements on those who [[Page 27620]] are 
typically involved in these efforts--those who pay others to influence 
the award of assistance or the taking of a management action by HUD and 
those who are paid to provide the influence. The second restricts the 
payment of fees to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD 
assistance, if the fees are tied to the number of housing units 
received or are based on the amount of assistance received, or if they 
are contingent upon the receipt of assistance.
    Section 13 was implemented by final rule published in the Federal 
Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). If readers are involved in any 
efforts to influence HUD in these ways, they are urged to read the 
final rule, particularly the examples contained in Appendix A of the 
rule.
    Any questions regarding the rule should be directed to the 
Director, Office of Ethics, Room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410. Telephone: 
(202) 708-3815 (TDD/Voice). (This is not a toll-free number.) Forms 
necessary for compliance with the rule may be obtained from the local 
HUD Office.

H. Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities

    The use of funds awarded under this NOFA is subject to the 
disclosure requirements and prohibitions of Section 319 of the 
Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for 
Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the Byrd Amendment) and the 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit 
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. The prohibition also covers the awarding of contracts, 
grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless the recipient has made 
an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. Under 24 CFR part 87, 
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients of assistance exceeding 
$100,000 must certify that no Federal funds have been or will be spent 
on lobbying activities in connection with the assistance.
