19 grant awards totaling $18,781,529 from the Department's FY2005 
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. The notice 
announces the selection of 14 permanent supportive housing renewal 
grants and 5 new transitional housing demonstration grants. This notice 
makes available the names of the award recipients and grant amounts.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Vos, Director, Office of HIV/
AIDS Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Room 7212, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-1934. 
To provide service for persons who are hearing-or-speech-impaired, this 
number may be reached via TTY by dialing the Federal Information Relay 
Service on (800) 877-TTY, (800) 877-8339, or (202) 708-2565. (Telephone 
number, other than ``800'' TTY numbers are not toll free.). Information 
on HOPWA, community development and consolidated planning, and other 
HUD programs may also be obtained from the HUD Home Page on the World 
Wide Web. In addition to this competitive selection, 121 jurisdictions 
received formula based allocations during the 2005 fiscal year for 
$251.3 million in HOPWA funds. Descriptions of the formula programs may 
be obtained at http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/aidshousing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FY2005 SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding 
Availability) for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs was published in 
the Federal Register on March 21, 2005 (70 FR 14109). The NOFA 
announced the availability of approximately $37 million in HOPWA 
competitive grant funding. The Department published a second FY2005 
HOPWA competition NOFA in the Federal Register on August 22, 2005 (70 
FR 48970), for the remaining $18 million in FY2005 funding.
    The purpose of the HOPWA NOFA announcement was to solicit 
applications for three types of HOPWA competitive grants: (1) Renewal 
of expiring permanent supportive housing projects; (2) awards for new 
long-term projects for permanent supporting housing from states and 
units of local government not eligible for HOPWA formula funding; and 
(3) awards for new Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) 
demonstration grants for transitional, short-term, and emergency 
housing projects. Grant selections were made for renewal projects and 
SPNS demonstration projects. The competition did not solicit or award 
any new long-term projects from states and units of local government 
that do not receive HOPWA formula funding.
    The HOPWA assistance made available in this announcement is 
authorized by the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as 
amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 
102-550, approved October 28, 1992) and was appropriated by the HUD 
Appropriations Act for 2005. The competition was announced in a NOFA 
published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2005 (66 FR 12223). Each 
application was reviewed and rated on the basis of selection criteria 
published in the NOFA.
    Public Benefit: The award of HOPWA funds to the 14 renewal and 5 
new project awards will contribute towards HUD's mission in providing 
housing support that results in the provision of safe, decent, and 
affordable housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families 
who are at risk of homelessness. The selected projects will provide 
housing assistance to an estimated 1,084 units/households for low-
income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The 19 grant 
awards total $18,871,529 and the selected grant applicants have 
reported the commitment of approximately $22.6 million in leveraging of 
other Federal, State, local, or private resources to provide additional 
supportive services for project beneficiaries and $4.8 million in 
leveraging for other project activities.
    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 details of these funding 
grant announcements in Appendices A and B.

    Dated: November 4, 2005.
Pamela H. Patenaude,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
