SUMMARY: On January 5, 1995 (59 FR 1846), HUD published a NOFA that 
announced FY 1995 funding of $250,391,741 under the Public and Indian 
Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) for use in eliminating drug-

authorities which were identified in the NOFA as having public housing 
police departments to receive funding for the purchase of clothing, 
equipment or vehicles that supports their mission.

Applications must be received at the local HUD Field Office on or 
before Friday, April 14, 1995, at 3:00 PM, local time. This application 
deadline is firm as to the 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
