Federally Assisted Low Income Housing Drug Elimination Grants; 
Notice of Funding Availability--FY 1995

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

ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA) for fiscal year (FY) 
1995.

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

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces HUD's FY 1995 funding of $17,800,737 for 
Federally Assisted Low Income Housing Drug Elimination Grants. The 
purposes of the Assisted Housing Drug Elimination Program are to 
eliminate drug-related crime and related problems in and around the 
premises of federally assisted low income housing, and to make 
available grants to help owners of such housing carry out plans to 
address these issues. This document describes the purpose of the NOFA, 
applicant eligibility, available amounts, selection criteria, financial 
requirements, management, and application processing, including how to 
apply, how selections will be made, and how applicants will be notified 
of results.

DATES: No applications will be accepted after 4:00 p.m. (local time) by 
the local HUD Office on April 18, 1995. This application deadline is 
firm as to date and hour. In the interest of fairness to all competing 
applicants, HUD will treat as ineligible for consideration any 
application that is received after the deadline. Applicants should take 
this practice into account and make early submission of their materials 
to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by unanticipated 
delays or other delivery-related problems. A ``FAX'' will not 
constitute delivery.

ADDRESSES: (a) Application form: An application form may be obtained 
from the local HUD Office having jurisdiction over the location of the 
applicant project. The HUD Office will be available to provide 
technical assistance on the preparation of applications during the 
application period. In addition, applications may be obtained from the 
Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse by calling 1-800-685-8470; or for 
hearing- or speech-impaired persons (202) 708-4594 (TDD). (The TDD 
number is not a toll-free number.)
    (b) Application submission: Applications (original and one copy) 
must be received by the deadline at the appropriate HUD Office with 
jurisdiction over the applicant project, Attention: Director of 
Multifamily Housing. It is not sufficient for the application to bear a 
postage date within the submission time period. Applications submitted 
by facsimile are not acceptable. Applications received after the 
deadline will not be considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have 
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget, under section 
3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 
and assigned OMB control number 2502-0476.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(a) Authority

    These grants are authorized under Chapter 2, Subtitle C, Title V of 
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 11901 et seq.), as amended 
by section 581 of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA) 
(Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990) and section 161 of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992) (Pub. L. 102-
550, approved October 28, 1992).

    Note: This NOFA does NOT apply to the funding available under 
the statute for Public and Indian Housing.

(b) Allocation Amounts

(1) Federal Fiscal Year 1995 Funding
    The amount available for funding under this Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) is $17,800,737. Section 581 of NAHA expanded the 
Drug Elimination Program to include federally assisted low-income 
housing. The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1995, (Pub. 
L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994) appropriated $290 million for 
the Drug Elimination Program, and made not more than $17,406,250 of the 
total Drug Elimination Program appropriation available for federally 
assisted low-income housing. The additional $394,487 represent funds 
available from recaptured and carry-over funds from prior year 
appropriations for the Federally Assisted Low-Income Housing Drug 
Elimination Grant Program.
    Of the total $290 million appropriated, $247,168,750 will fund the 
Public and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program; $13,925,000 will 
fund the Youth Sports Program; $10 million will fund drug elimination 
technical assistance and training; and $1.5 million will fund drug 
information clearinghouse services. The remaining $17,406,250 plus the 
$394,487 is being made available under this NOFA.
    HUD is allocating grant funds under this NOFA to four ``Award 
Offices'' on the basis of a formula allocation. This formula allocation 
reflects the number of eligible federally assisted low-income housing 
units in specific geographic areas and the level of drug-related crime 
within each area, according to statistics compiled by the U.S. 
Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (``Uniform Crime 
Reports for Drug Abuse Violations--1990'').
(2) Maximum Grant Award Amounts
    The maximum grant award amount is limited to $125,000 per project.
(3) Reallocation
    Any grant funds under this NOFA that are allocated, but that are 
not reserved for grantees, must be released to HUD Headquarters for 
reallocation. HUD reserves the right to fund portions of full 
applications. If the HUD Award Office determines that an application 
cannot be partially funded and there are insufficient funds to fund the 
application fully, any remaining funds after all other applications 
have been selected will be released to HUD Headquarters for 
reallocation. Amounts that may become available due to deobligation 
will also be reallocated to Headquarters.
    All reallocated funds will be awarded in the following manner: HUD 
Award Offices will submit to Headquarters a list of applications, with 
their scores and amount of funding requested, that would have been 
funded had there been sufficient funds in the appropriate allocation to 
do so. Headquarters will select applications from those submitted by 
the HUD Award Offices, using a random number lottery overseen by the 
Offices of Housing, General Counsel, [[Page 9545]] and Inspector 
General, and make awards from any available reallocated funds.
(4) Reduction of Requested Grant Amounts
    HUD may award an amount less than requested if:
    (i) HUD determines the amount requested for an eligible activity is 
unreasonable;
    (ii) Insufficient amounts remain under the allocation to fund the 
full amount requested by the applicant and HUD determines that partial 
funding is a viable option;
    (iii) HUD determines that some elements of the proposed plan are 
suitable for funding and others are not; or
    (iv) For any other reason where good cause exists.
(5) Distribution of Funds
    In past years, funds under this program were allocated to the ten 
HUD Regional Offices. Due to HUD's reorganization, those offices no 
longer exist. Therefore, this year HUD is allocating funds to four 
Award Offices, which will receive the scores from each HUD Office that 
has received, rated, ranked, and scored its applications. Those Award 
Offices will, in turn, request funding for the properties with the 
highest score from each HUD Office. If sufficient funds remain, the 
next highest scored applications, regardless of HUD Office, will be 
awarded funds. HUD is allocating grant funds under this NOFA to the 
four Award Offices, in accordance with the following schedule:

(c) Eligibility

    The following is a listing of eligible activities, ineligible 
activities, eligible applicants, and general grant requirements under 
this NOFA.
(1) Eligible Activities
    Please note that the maximum term of the grant is 12 months.
    It is the goal and intent of the Federally Assisted Low-Income 
Housing Drug Elimination Grant Program to foster a sense of community 
in dealing with the issues of drug-related criminal activity. Programs 
that foster interrelationships between the residents, the housing owner 
and management, the local law enforcement agencies, and other community 
groups impacting on the housing are greatly desired and encouraged. 
Resident participation in the determination of programs and activities 
to be undertaken is critical to the success of all aspects of the 
program. Working jointly with community groups, the neighborhood law 
enforcement precinct, residents of adjacent properties, and the 
community as a whole can enhance and magnify the effect of specific 
program activities and should be the goal of all applicants.
    (i) Physical Improvements to Enhance Security. Physical 
improvements that are specifically designed to enhance security are 
eligible for funding under this program. The improvements may include 
(but are not limited to) systems designed to limit building access to 
project residents, the installation of barriers, lighting systems, 
fences, bolts, and locks; the landscaping or reconfiguration of common 
areas to discourage drug-related crime; and other physical improvements 
designed to enhance security and discourage drug-related activities. In 
particular, HUD is seeking plans that provide successful, proven, and 
cost effective deterrents to drug-related crime that are designed to 
address the realities of low-income assisted housing environments. All 
physical improvements must also be accessible to persons with 
disabilities. For example, some types of locks or buzzer systems are 
not accessible to persons with limited strength or mobility, or to 
persons who are hearing-impaired. All physical improvements must meet 
the accessibility requirements of 24 CFR part 8.
    (ii) Programs to Reduce the use of Drugs. Programs designed to 
reduce the use of drugs in and around federally assisted low-income 
housing projects, including drug abuse prevention, intervention, 
referral, and treatment programs, are eligible for funding under this 
program. The program should facilitate drug prevention, intervention, 
and treatment efforts, to include outreach to community resources and 
youth activities, and facilitate bringing these resources onto the 
premises, or provide resident referrals to treatment programs or 
transportation to out-patient treatment programs away from the 
premises. Funding is permitted for reasonable, necessary, and justified 
leasing of vehicles for resident youth and adult education and training 
activities directly related to ``Programs to reduce the use of drugs'' 
under this section. Alcohol-related activities/programs are not 
eligible for funding under this NOFA.
    (A) Drug Prevention. Drug prevention programs that will be 
considered for funding under this NOFA must provide a comprehensive 
drug prevention approach for residents that will address the individual 
resident and his or her relationship to family, peers, and the 
community. Prevention programs must include activities designed to 
identify and change the factors present in federally assisted low-
income housing that lead to drug-related problems, and thereby lower 
the risk of drug usage. Many components of a comprehensive approach, 
such as refusal and restraint skills, training programs, or drug-
related family counseling, may already be available in the community of 
the applicant's housing projects, and the applicant must act to bring 
those available program components onto the premises. Activities that 
should be included in these programs are:
    (1) Drug Education Opportunities for Residents. The causes and 
effects of [[Page 9546]] illegal drug usage must be discussed in a 
formal setting to provide both young people and adults the working 
knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions to confront 
the potential and immediate dangers of illegal drugs. Grantees may 
contract (in accordance with 24 CFR part 85.36) with drug education 
professionals to provide appropriate training or workshops. The drug 
education professionals contracted to provide these services shall be 
required to base their services upon the program plan of the grantee. 
These educational opportunities may be a part of resident meetings, 
youth activities, or other gatherings of residents.
    (2) Family and Other Support Services. Drug prevention programs 
must demonstrate that they will provide directly or otherwise make 
available services designed to distribute drug education information, 
to foster effective parenting skills, and to provide referrals for 
treatment and other available support services in the project or the 
community for federally-assisted low-income housing families.
    (3) Youth Services. Drug prevention programs must demonstrate that 
they have included groups composed of young people as a part of their 
prevention programs. These groups must be coordinated by adults with 
the active participation of youth to organize youth leadership, sports, 
recreational, cultural, and other activities involving housing youth. 
The dissemination of drug education information, the development of 
peer leadership skills, and other drug prevention activities must be a 
component of youth services. Activities or services funded under this 
program may not also be funded under the Youth Sports Program.
    (4) Economic/Educational Opportunities for Residents and Youth. 
Drug prevention programs should demonstrate a capacity to provide 
residents the opportunity for referral to established higher education 
or vocational institutions with the goal of developing or building on 
the residents' skills to pursue educational, vocational, and economic 
goals. The program must also demonstrate the ability to provide 
residents the opportunity to interact with private sector businesses in 
their immediate community for the same desired goals.
    (B) Intervention. The aim of intervention is to identify federally 
assisted low-income housing resident drug users and assist them in 
modifying their behavior and in obtaining early treatment, if 
necessary. The applicant must establish a program with the goal of 
preventing drug problems from continuing once detected.
    (C) Drug Treatment. (1) Treatment funded under this program shall 
be in or around the premises of the federally assisted low-income 
housing projects proposed for funding.
    (2) Funds awarded under this program shall be targeted towards the 
development and implementation of new drug referral treatment services 
and/or aftercare, or the improvement or expansion of such program 
services for residents.
    (3) Each proposed drug treatment program should address the 
following goals:
    (i) Increase resident accessibility to drug treatment services;
    (ii) Decrease criminal activity in and around federally assisted 
low-income housing projects by reducing illicit drug use among 
residents; and
    (iii) Provide services designed for youth and/or maternal drug 
abusers (e.g., prenatal/postpartum care, specialized counseling in 
women's issues, parenting classes, or other drug supportive services).
    (4) Approaches that have proven effective with similar populations 
will be considered for funding. Programs should meet the following 
criteria:
    (i) Applicants may provide the service of formal referral 
arrangements to other treatment programs not in or around the project 
when the resident is able to obtain treatment costs from sources other 
than this program. Applicants may also provide transportation for 
residents to out-patient treatment and/or support programs.
    (ii) Provide family/collateral counseling.
    (iii) Provide linkages to educational/vocational counseling.
    (iv) Provide coordination of services to appropriate local drug 
agencies, HIV-related service agencies, and mental health and public 
health programs.
    (v) Applicants must demonstrate a working partnership with the 
Single State Agency or State license provider or authority with drug 
program coordination responsibilities to coordinate, develop, and 
implement the drug treatment proposal. In particular, applicants must 
review and determine with the Single State Agency or State license 
provider or authority with drug program coordination responsibilities 
whether:
    (A) The drug treatment provider(s) has provided drug treatment 
services to similar populations, identified in the application, for two 
prior years; and
    (B) The drug treatment proposal is consistent with the State 
treatment plan and the treatment service meets all State licensing 
requirements.
    (vi) Funding is not permitted for treatment of residents at any in-
patient medical treatment programs/facilities.
    (vii) Funding is not permitted for detoxification procedures, short 
term or long term, designed to reduce or eliminate the presence of 
toxic substances in the body tissues of a patient.
    (viii) Funding is not permitted for maintenance drug programs. 
Maintenance drugs are medications that are prescribed regularly for a 
long period of supportive therapy (e.g., methadone maintenance), rather 
than for immediate control of a disorder.
    (iii) Resident Councils (RCs). Providing funding to resident 
councils to strengthen their role in developing programs of eligible 
activities involving site residents is eligible for funding under this 
program.
    (2) Ineligible Activities. Funding is not permitted for any 
activities listed below:
    (i) Any activity or improvement that is normally funded from 
project operating revenues for routine maintenance or repairs, or those 
activities or improvements that may be funded through reasonable and 
affordable rent increases;
    (ii) The acquisition of real property or physical improvements that 
involve the demolition of any units in the project or displacement of 
tenants.
    (iii) Costs incurred prior to the effective date of the grant 
agreement, including, but not limited to, consultant fees for surveys 
related to the application or its preparation;
    (iv) Reimbursement of local law enforcement agencies for additional 
security and protective services;
    (v) The employment of one or more individuals:
    (A) To investigate drug-related crime on or about the real property 
comprising any federally assisted low-income project; and
    (B) To provide evidence relating to such crime in any 
administrative or judicial proceeding;
    (vi) The provision of training, communications equipment, and other 
related equipment for use by voluntary tenant patrols acting in 
cooperation with local law enforcement officials.
    (3) Eligible Applicants. The applicant must be the owner of a 
federally assisted low-income housing project under:
    (i) Section 221(d)(3), section 221(d)(4) or 236 of the National 
Housing Act. (Note, however, that only section 221(d)(4) and section 
221(d)(3) market rate projects with project-based assistance contracts 
are considered federally assisted low-income housing. 
[[Page 9547]] Therefore, section 221(d)(4) and section 221(d)(3) market 
rate projects with tenant-based assistance contracts are not considered 
federally assisted low-income housing and are not eligible for 
funding.)
    (ii) Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965; 
or
    (iii) Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
    (4) General Grant Requirements. The following requirements apply to 
all activities, programs, or functions used to plan, budget, and 
evaluate the work funded under this program.
    (i) After applications have been ranked and selected, HUD and the 
applicant shall enter into a grant agreement setting forth the amount 
of the grant, the physical improvements or other eligible activities to 
be undertaken, financial controls, and special conditions, including 
sanctions for violation of the agreement.
    (ii) The policies, guidelines, and requirements of this NOFA, 48 
CFR part 31, other applicable OMB cost principles, HUD program 
regulations, HUD Handbooks, and the terms of grant/special conditions 
and subgrant agreements apply to the acceptance and use of assistance 
by grantees and will be followed in determining the reasonableness and 
allocability of costs. All costs must be reasonable and necessary.
    (iii) The term of funded activities may not exceed 12 months.
    (iv) Owners must ensure that any funds received under this program 
are not commingled with other HUD or project operating funds.
    (v) To avoid duplicate funding, owners must establish controls to 
assure that any funds from other sources, such as Reserve for 
Replacement or Rent Increases, are not used to fund the physical 
improvements to be undertaken under this program.
    (vi) Employment preference. A grantee under this program shall give 
preference to the employment of residents, and comply with section 3 of 
the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and 24 CFR part 135, to 
carry out any of the eligible activities under this part, so long as 
such residents have qualifications and training comparable to 
nonresident applicants.
    (vii) Termination of funding. HUD may terminate funding if the 
grantee fails to undertake the approved program activities on a timely 
basis in accordance with the grant agreement, adhere to grant agreement 
requirements or special conditions, or submit timely and accurate 
reports.
    (viii) Subgrants (subcontracting).
    (A) A grantee may directly undertake any of the eligible activities 
under this NOFA or it may contract with a qualified third party, 
including incorporated Resident Councils (RCs). Resident groups that 
are not incorporated RCs may share with the grantee in the 
implementation of the program, but may not receive funds as 
subgrantees.
    (B) Subgrants or cash contributions to incorporated RCs may be made 
only under a written agreement executed between the grantee and the RC. 
The agreement must include a program budget that is acceptable to the 
grantee and that is otherwise consistent with the grant application 
budget. The agreement must obligate the incorporated RC to permit the 
grantee to inspect and audit the RC financial records related to the 
agreement, and to account to the grantee on the use of grant funds and 
on the implementation of program activities. In addition, the agreement 
must describe the nature of the activities to be undertaken by the 
subgrantee, the scope of the subgrantee's authority, and the amount of 
insurance to be obtained by the grantee and the subgrantee to protect 
their respective interests.
    (C) The grantee shall be responsible for monitoring, and for 
providing technical assistance to, any subgrantee to ensure compliance 
with HUD program requirements, including OMB Circular Nos. A-110 and A-
122, that apply to the acceptance and use of assistance by private 
nonprofit organizations. The procurement requirements of Attachment O 
of Circular A-110 apply to RCs. The grantee must also ensure that 
subgrantees have appropriate insurance liability coverage.

(d) Selection Criteria and Ranking Factors

    HUD will review each application to determine that it meets the 
requirements of this NOFA and to assign points in accordance with the 
selection criteria. A total of 200 points is the maximum score 
available under the selection criteria. An application must receive a 
score of at least 151 points out of the maximum of 200 points that may 
be awarded under this competition to be eligible for funding. After 
assigning points to each application, HUD Offices will rank the 
applications in order. The Award Office will select the highest ranking 
application from each HUD Office whose eligible activities can be fully 
funded. The Award Office will then select the highest scored unfunded 
application submitted to it regardless of Field Office and continue the 
process until all funds allocated to it have been awarded or to the 
point where there are insufficient acceptable applications for which to 
award funds. Grants under this program are categorically excluded from 
review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 
U.S.C. 4321). However, prior to the award of grant funds under the 
program, HUD will perform an environmental review to the extent 
required under the provisions of 24 CFR 50.4. Each application 
submitted will be evaluated on the basis of the following selection 
criteria:
(1) The Quality of the Plan To Address the Problem (Maximum Points: 50)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) The quality of the applicant's plan to address the drug-related 
crime problem, and the problems associated with drug-related crime, in 
the projects proposed for funding, and how well the activities proposed 
for funding fit in with the plan. (maximum points: 10)
    (ii) The anticipated effectiveness of the plan and the proposed 
activities in reducing or eliminating drug-related crime problems over 
an extended period. (maximum points: 10)
    (iii) How the activities identified in the plan will affect and 
address the problem of drug-related crime in adjacent properties. 
(maximum points: 5)
    (iv) Evidence that the proposed activities have been found 
successful in similar circumstances in terms of controlling drug-
related crime. (maximum points: 5)
    (v) Whether the property is located within an area identified as 
having a Safe Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) or similar plan or 
program designated for combatting drug-related criminal activity. (20 
points if so located, 0 points if not.)
(2) The Support of Local Government/Law Enforcement Agencies (Maximum 
Points: 20)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) Evidence that the project owner has sought assistance in 
deterring drug-related crime problems and the extent to which the owner 
has participated in programs that are available from local governments 
or law enforcement agencies; (maximum points: 10) and
    (ii) The level of support by the local government or law 
enforcement agency for the applicant's proposed activities (Maximum 
points: 10) [[Page 9548]] 
(3) The Extent of the Drug-Related Crime Problem in the Housing Project 
Proposed for Assistance (Maximum Points: 50)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the degree of 
severity of the drug-related crime problem in the project proposed for 
funding, as demonstrated by the information required to be submitted 
under section III.(h) of this NOFA.
(4) The Support of Residents in Planning and Implementing the Proposed 
Activities. (Maximum Points: 30)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following 
factors:
    (i) Evidence that comments and suggestions have been sought from 
residents to the proposed plan for this program and the degree to which 
residents will be involved in implementation. (maximum points: 20)
    (ii) Evidence of resident support for the proposed plan. (maximum 
points: 10)
(5) Capacity of Owner and Management To Undertake the Proposed 
Activities: (Maximum Points: 50)
    In assessing this criterion, HUD will consider the following:
    (i) The most recent Management Review completed by the HUD Office. 
(Note: The HUD Office will conduct another management review after 
application submission if the most recent management review is more 
than one year old). (maximum points: 40)
    (ii) Submission of evidence that project owners have initiated 
other efforts to reduce drug-related crime by working with tenant/law 
enforcement groups (e.g., establishment of ``Tenant Watches'' or 
similar efforts). (maximum points: 5)
    (iii) Submission of evidence that project management carefully 
screens applicants for units and takes appropriate steps to deal with 
tenants known or suspected to exhibit drug-related criminal behavior. 
(maximum points: 5)

II. Application Process

(a) Application Form

    An application form may be obtained from the HUD Office having 
jurisdiction over the location of the applicant project. The HUD Office 
will be available to provide technical assistance on the preparation of 
applications during the application period.

(b) Application Submission

    A separate application must be submitted for each project. An 
application (original and one copy) must be received by the deadline at 
the appropriate HUD Office with jurisdiction over the applicant 
project, Attention: Director of Multifamily Housing. It is not 
sufficient for the application to bear a postage date within the 
submission time period. Applications submitted by facsimile (``FAX'') 
are not acceptable and will not be considered. Applications received 
after the deadline will not be considered. No applications will be 
accepted after 4:00 p.m. (local time) for the appropriate HUD Office on 
April 18, 1995. This application deadline is firm as to date and hour. 
In the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, the Department 
will treat as ineligible for consideration any application that is 
received after the deadline. Applicants should take this practice into 
account and make early submission of their materials to avoid any risk 
of loss of eligibility brought about by unanticipated delays or other 
delivery-related problems.

(c) Application Notification

    HUD will notify all applicants whether or not they were selected 
for funding.

III. Checklist of Application Submission Requirements

    To qualify for a grant under this program, an applicant must submit 
an application to HUD that contains the following:
    (a) Application for Federal Assistance form (Standard Form SF-424 
and SF-424A). The form must be signed by the applicant.
    (b) A description of the applicant's plan for addressing the 
problem of drug-related crime in the projects for which funding is 
sought, which should include the activities to be funded under this 
program along with all other initiatives being undertaken by the 
applicant. The description should also include a discussion of:
    (1) The anticipated effectiveness of the plan and the proposed 
activities in reducing or eliminating drug-related crime problems over 
an extended period.
    (2) How the activities identified in the plan will affect and 
address the problem of drug-related crime in adjacent properties.
    (3) Other efforts that project owners have initiated to reduce 
drug-related crime by working with tenant/law enforcement groups (e.g., 
establishment of ``Tenant Watches'' or similar efforts).
    (4) Procedures that project management uses to screen applicants 
for units and steps taken to deal with tenants known or suspected to 
exhibit drug-related criminal behavior.
    (c) Each applicant for funding for physical improvements must 
submit a written plan fully describing the physical improvements to be 
undertaken with dollar costs per unit for each item. This plan must be 
signed by the owner.
    (d) Each applicant must submit a letter from the local government 
or police (law enforcement) agency that describes the type of drug-
related crime in the project proposed for grant funding and its 
immediate environs, and expresses a commitment to assist the owner in 
taking steps to reduce or eliminate the drug-related crime problems of 
the project.
    (e) A description of the procedure used to involve residents in the 
development of the plan and written summaries of any comments and 
suggestions received from residents on the proposed plan, along with 
evidence that the owner carefully considered the comments of residents 
and incorporated their suggestions in the plan, when practical.
    (f) A description of the support of residents for the proposed 
activities and the ways in which residents will be involved in 
implementing the plan. Letters of support from residents or a 
resolution from the resident organization may be used.
    (g) A copy of the most recent management review performed by HUD 
and evidence supporting the capacity of the owner and management to 
undertake the proposed activities.
    (h) Detailed information, such as local government and police 
reports, evidencing the degree of drug-related crime in the project and 
adjacent properties to demonstrate the degree of severity of the drug-
related crime problem. This information may consist of:
    (1) Objective data. The best available objective data on the 
nature, source, and extent of the problem of drug-related crime, and 
the problems associated with drug-related crime. These data may include 
(but are not necessarily limited to) crime statistics from Federal, 
State, tribal or local law enforcement agencies, or information from 
the applicant's records on the types and sources of drug-related crime 
in the project proposed for assistance; descriptive data as to the 
types of offenders committing drug-related crime in the applicant's 
project (e.g., age, residence, etc.); the number of lease terminations 
or evictions for drug-related criminal activity; the number of 
emergency room admissions for drug use or drug-related crime; the 
number of police calls for [[Page 9549]] drug-related criminal 
activity; the number of residents placed in treatment for substance 
abuse; and the school drop-out rate and level of absenteeism for youth. 
If crime statistics are not available at the project or precinct level, 
the applicant may use other reliable, objective data including those 
derived from the owner's records or those of private groups that 
collect such data. The crime statistics should be reported both in real 
numbers, and as a percentage of the residents in each project (e.g., 20 
arrests for distribution of heroin in a project with 100 residents 
reflects a 20 percent occurrence rate). The data should cover the past 
three-year period and, to the extent feasible, should indicate whether 
these data reflect a percentage increase or decrease in drug-related 
crime over the past several years. Applicants must address in their 
assessment how these crimes have affected the project and how the 
applicant's overall plan and strategy is specifically tailored to 
address these drug-related crime problems.
    (2) Other data on the extent of drug-related crime. To the extent 
that objective data as described under paragraph (1) of this section 
may not be available, or to complement that data, the assessment may 
use relevant information from other sources that have a direct bearing 
on drug-related crime problems in the project proposed for assistance. 
However, if other relevant information is to be used in place of, 
rather than to complement, objective data, the application must 
indicate the reason(s) why objective data could not be obtained and 
what efforts were made to obtain it. Examples of other data include: 
resident/staff surveys on drug-related issues or on-site reviews to 
determine drug activity; the use of local government or scholarly 
studies or other research conducted in the past year that analyze drug 
activity in the targeted project; vandalism costs and related vacancies 
attributable to drug-related crime; information from schools, health 
service providers, residents and police; and the opinions and 
observations of individuals having direct knowledge of drug-related 
crime problems concerning the nature and extent of those problems in 
the project proposed for assistance. (These individuals may include law 
enforcement officials, resident or community leaders, school officials, 
community medical officials, drug treatment or counseling 
professionals, or other social service providers.)
    (i) If applying for drug treatment program funding, a certification 
that the applicant has notified and consulted with the relevant Single 
State Agency or other local authority with drug program coordination 
responsibilities concerning its application; and that the proposed drug 
treatment program has been reviewed by the relevant Single State Agency 
or other local authority and that it is consistent with the State 
treatment plan; and that the relevant Single State Agency or other 
local authority has determined that the drug treatment provider(s) has 
provided drug treatment services to similar populations, identified in 
the application, for two prior years.
    (j) Drug-free workplace. The certification with regard to the drug-
free workplace required by 24 CFR part 24, subpart F and appendix C.
    (k) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. If the amount applied for is 
greater than $100,000, the certification with regard to lobbying 
required by 24 CFR part 87 must be included. See section VI.(h), below, 
of this NOFA. 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 the Disclosure of Lobbying 
Activities Form (SF-LLL).
    (l) Form HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report.

IV. Corrections to Deficient Applications

    HUD will notify the applicant within 10 working days of the receipt 
of the application if there are any curable technical deficiencies in 
the application. Curable technical deficiencies relate to minimum 
eligibility requirements (such as certifications and signatures) that 
are necessary for funding approval but that do not relate to the 
quality of the applicant's program proposal under the selection 
criteria. The owner must submit corrections in accordance with the 
information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the date of the 
HUD notification.

V. Other Matters

(a) Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity

    The following nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements 
apply:
    (1) The requirements of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 
(Fair Housing Act) (42 U.S.C. 3600-20) and implementing regulations 
issued at subchapter A of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
as amended by 54 FR 3232 (published January 23, 1989); Executive Order 
11063 (Equal Opportunity in Housing) and implementing regulations at 24 
CFR part 107; and title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 
2000d-2000d-4) (Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs) and 
implementing regulations issued at 24 CFR part 1;
    (2) The prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age 
under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-07) and 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 146, and the prohibitions 
against discrimination against handicapped individuals under section 
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and implementing 
regulations at 24 CFR part 8;
    (3) The requirements of Executive Order 11246 (Equal Employment 
Opportunity) and the regulations issued under the Order at 41 CFR 
Chapter 60;
    (4) The requirements of Executive Orders 11625, 12432, and 12138. 
Consistent with HUD's responsibilities under these Orders, recipients 
must make efforts to encourage the use of minority and women's business 
enterprises in connection with funded activities.

(b) Environmental Impact

    At the time of the publication of the proposed rule for the 
Federally Assisted Low Income Housing Drug Elimination Program, a 
Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment was 
made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 50 that 
implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The initial finding applies to this NOFA, and is 
available for public inspection and copying from 7:30 to 5:30 weekdays 
in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 10276, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410.

(c) Federalism Impact

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
provisions of this NOFA do not have federalism implications within the 
meaning of the Order. The NOFA announces the availability of funds and 
provides the application requirements for Federally Assisted Low Income 
Housing Drug Elimination Grants, which fund activities designed to 
deter drug-related crime. Deterring drug-related crime is a recognized 
goal of general benefit without direct implications 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 various levels of government. [[Page 9550]] 

(d) Family Impact

    The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive 
Order 12606, The Family, has determined that the policies announced in 
this NOFA would not have potential for significant impact on family 
formation, maintenance, and general well-being, except indirectly to 
the extent of the social and other benefits expected from this program 
of assistance.

(e) Section 102 HUD Reform Act Applicant/Recipient Disclosures

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 of section 102. The 
documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section 
102 are applicable to assistance awarded under this NOFA as follows:
Documentation and Public Access
    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 
quarterly 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.)
    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.)

(f) Section 103 HUD Reform Act

    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 at 24 CFR part 4, applies to this funding 
competition. 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 limited by 24 CFR 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 
general questions about what information may be discussed with them 
during the selection may contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-
3815 or (202) 708-9300 (TDD). (These are not toll-free numbers.)

(g) Section 112 HUD Reform Act

    Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
contains two provisions dealing with efforts to influence HUD's 
decisions with respect to financial assistance. The first imposes 
disclosure requirements on those who 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.

(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. Indian 
Housing Authorities (IHAs) established by an Indian tribe as a result 
of the exercise of their sovereign power are excluded from coverage, 
but IHAs established under State law are not excluded from coverage.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 11901 et. seq.

    Dated: January 31, 1995.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
