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
