Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA).

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the

availability of up to $19,200,000 in

funds to be allocated by competition for

housing assistance and supportive

services under the Housing

Opportunities for Persons with AIDS

(HOPWA) program. The funds available

under this NOFA will be used to fund

projects for low-income persons with

HIV/AIDS and their families under two

categories of assistance: (1) Grants for

special projects of national significance

which, due to their innovative nature or

their potential for replication, are likely

to serve as effective models in

addressing the needs of eligible persons;

and (2) grants for projects which are part

of long-term comprehensive strategies

for providing housing and related

services for eligible persons.

The NOFA contains information

concerning eligible applicants, the

funding available, the application

package, its processing, and selection of

applications. The regulations for the

HOPWA program are found at 24 CFR

part 574. A Final Rule for this program,

amending 24 CFR part 574, was

published in the Federal Register on

April 11, 1994 (59 FR 17194), and was

amended by a rule establishing the

Consolidated Plan on January 5, 1995

(60 FR 1878).

DATES: Applications for HOPWA

assistance must be received at the HUD

Headquarters Office listed below by 6:00

p.m. Eastern time on April 17, 1995.

Conditionally selected applicants will

be notified by HUD of their selection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

The information collection

requirements for the HOPWA program

have been approved under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 by the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB), and have been assigned OMB

control number 2506–0133 (exp. 2/28/

97).

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(a) Purpose

The funds available under this NOFA

will be used to fund projects for lowincome persons with HIV/AIDS and

their families under two categories of

assistance: (1) Grants for special projects

of national significance which, due to

their innovative nature or their potential

for replication, are likely to serve as

effective models in addressing the needs

of eligible persons; and (2) grants for

projects which are part of long-term

comprehensive strategies for providing

housing and related services for eligible

persons.

(b) Authority

The assistance made available under

this NOFA is authorized by the AIDS

Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C.

12901), and was appropriated by the

HUD Appropriations Act of 1995 (Pub.

L. 103–327, approved September 28,

1994) and by the HUD Appropriations

Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–124, approved

October 28, 1993). The regulations for

HOPWA are found at 24 CFR part 574.

(c) Eligibility

(1) States, units of general local

government, and nonprofit

organizations may apply for grants for

special projects of national significance.

(2) All States and units of general local

government may apply for grants for

projects under the second category of

grants, except for: (A) any State that was

eligible to receive a formula award in

fiscal year 1995; and (B) any unit of

general local government that was

located in a metropolitan area or State

that was eligible to receive a formula

award in fiscal year 1995. Nonprofit

organizations are not eligible to apply

for the second category of grants.

(d) Allocation Amounts

Up to $19,200,000 is being made

available by this NOFA. Since some of

the appropriated funds are to be derived

from the recapture of prior year

obligations, the actual amount available

may be less.

The maximum amount that an

applicant may receive is $1,000,000,

excluding administration costs. HUD

reserves the right to fund less than the

full amount requested in any

application and to modify requests

accordingly. If a request is modified by

HUD, the conditionally selected
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 1995 / Notices 9261

applicant will be required to modify its

project plans and application to

conform to the terms of HUD approval

before execution of a grant agreement.

Funds received under this

competition are to be expended within

three years following the date of the

signing of a grant agreement. Any

unobligated funds from previous

competitions or additional funds that

may become available as a result of

deobligations or recaptures from

previous awards may also be used to

fund applications submitted in response

to this NOFA.

(e) Program Goal

Applicants for HOPWA assistance

under this NOFA should emphasize the

connection between housing assistance

and appropriate supportive services in

designing their programs. As stated by

the National Commission on AIDS in

Housing and the HIV/AIDS Epidemic

(issued in June 1992) there is

‘‘frequently desperate need safe shelter

that provides not only protection and

comfort, but also a base in which and

from which to receive services, care and

support.’’

II. Application Selection Process

(a) Review

Applications will be reviewed to

ensure that they meet the following:

(1) Applicant eligibility. The applicant

and project sponsor(s), if any, are

eligible to apply for the specific

program;

(2) Eligible population to be served.

The persons proposed to be served are

eligible persons;

(3) Eligible activities. The proposed

activities are eligible for assistance

under the program; and

(4) Other requirements. The applicant

is currently in compliance with the

Federal requirements contained in 24

CFR part 574, subpart G, ‘‘Other Federal

Requirements.’’

(b) Rating

Applications under both categories of

grant will be rated in a national

competition. To rate applications, the

Department may establish a panel

including persons not currently

employed by HUD to obtain outside

points of view, including views from

other Federal agencies.

(c) Rating of Applications.

(1) Procedure. Applications will be

rated based on the criteria listed below

in paragraph (2), with a maximum of

100 points awarded. After rating, these

applications will be placed in the rank

order of their final score for selection.

(2) Rating Criteria. Applications under

both categories of grant will be rated on

the following criteria:

(A) Applicant capacity (20 points).

HUD will award up to 20 points based

on the ability of the applicant and, if

applicable, any project sponsor(s) to

develop and operate the proposed

program. With regard to both the

applicant and the project sponsor(s),

HUD will consider: (a) Past experience

in serving persons with AIDS or related

diseases and their families; (b) past

experience in programs similar to those

proposed in the application; and (c)

experience in monitoring and evaluating

program performance.

As applicable, the rating under this

criterion will also consider prior

performance with any HUDadministered programs, including any

serious, outstanding audit or monitoring

findings that directly affect the

proposed project.

(B) Need for the project in the area to

be served (20 points). HUD will award

up to 20 points based on the extent to

which the need for the project in the

area to be served is demonstrated by the

relative numbers of AIDS cases and per

capita AIDS incidence, as reported to

and confirmed by the Director of the

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention.

(C) Appropriateness of program

activities: Housing, supportive services

and other assistance (30 points). HUD

will award up to 30 points based on the

extent to which a plan for undertaking

and managing the proposed activities:

(a) Describes and responds to the need

for housing and related supportive

services of eligible persons in the

community; or, in relation to technical

assistance activities proposed in the

application, describes and responds to

the technical assistance needs of

programs which provide housing and

related supportive services for eligible

persons;

(b) describes how activities carried

out with HOPWA funds and other

resources will provide a continuum of

housing and services to meet the

changing needs of eligible persons,

offers a personalized response to those

needs which maximizes opportunities

for independent living, and in the case

of a family, accommodates the needs of

families;

(c) provides for monitoring and the

evaluation of the assistance provided to

participants; and

(d) in relation to technical assistance

activities proposed in the application,

provides technical assistance related to

the development and operation of

programs and the capacity of

organizations to undertake and manage

assistance for eligible persons.

(D) Extent of leveraged public and

private resources for the project (10

points). HUD will award up to 10 points

based on the extent to which resources

from other public or private sources

have been committed to support the

project at the time of application.

(E) Special projects of national

significance (20 points). Applications

for special projects of national

significance will be rated on innovative

nature of the proposal and its potential

for replication. HUD will award up to 20

points based on the extent to which the

project involves a new program for, or

alternative method of, meeting the

needs of eligible persons, when

compared to other applications and

projects funded in the past. The

Department will consider the extent to

which the project design, management

plan, proposed effects, local planning

and coordination of housing programs,

the likelihood of the continuation of the

State and local efforts, and proposed

activities are exemplary and appropriate

as a model for replication in similar

localities or nationally, when compared

to other applications and projects

funded in the past.

(F) Projects which are part of longterm comprehensive strategies for

providing housing and related services

for eligible persons (20 points).

Applications for projects for this

category of assistance will be rated on

the extent of local planning and

coordination of housing programs. HUD

will award up to 20 points based on the

extent to which the applicant

demonstrates: (a) The proposed project

is part of a community strategy

involving local, metropolitan or Statewide planning and coordination of

housing programs designed to meet the

changing needs of low-income persons

with HIV/AIDS and their families,

including programs providing housing

assistance and related services that are

operated by Federal, State, local, private

and other entities serving eligible

persons; and (b) the likelihood of the

continuation of the planning and

coordination.

(d) Selection. Whether an application

is conditionally selected will depend on

its overall ranking compared to other

applications. The Department will select

applications to the extent that funds are

available. HUD reserves the right to

select lower rated applications if

necessary to achieve geographic

diversity and to ensure that a minimum

number of applications under each

category of assistance are among

conditionally selected applications.
9262 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 1995 / Notices

In the event of a tie between

applications, the application with the

highest total points for the criterion

need will be selected, and if still tied,

the highest total points for the criterion

appropriateness of housing and services.

In the event of a procedural error that,

when corrected, would result in

selection of an otherwise eligible

application during the funding round

under this NOFA, HUD may select that

application when sufficient funds

become available.

III. Application Submission

Requirements

The application submission

requirements are contained in the

application package. This package

includes all required forms and

certifications, and may be obtained from

a HUD Field Office listed in the

appendix to this NOFA.

IV. Clarifications and Technical

Assistance

(a) Clarification of Application

Information. In accordance with the

provisions of 24 CFR part 4, subpart B,

HUD may contact an applicant to seek

clarification of an item in the

application, or to request additional or

missing information, but the

clarification or the request for additional

or missing information shall not relate

to items that would improve the

substantive quality of the application

pertinent to the funding decision.

(b) Technical Assistance. Prior to the

application deadline, HUD field office

staff will be available to provide advice

and guidance to potential applicants on

application requirements and program

policies. Following conditional

selection, HUD field office staff will be

available to assist in clarifying or

confirming information that is a

prerequisite to the offer of a grant

agreement by HUD. However, between

the application deadline and the

announcement of conditional selections,

HUD will accept no information that

would improve the substantive quality

of the application pertinent to the

funding decision.

V. Grant Award Process

HUD will notify conditionally

selected applicants in writing. Such

applicants will subsequently be notified

of any modification made by HUD, the

additional project information necessary

for grant award and the date of the twomonth deadline for submission of such

information. If an applicant is unable to

meet any conditions for grant award

within the specified time period, HUD

reserves the right not to award funds

and to use the funds available in the

next competition for the applicable

program.

VI. Other Matters

(a) Environmental Impact. A finding

of no significant impact with respect to

the environment has been made in

accordance with HUD regulations at 24

CFR part 50, which implement section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969. The finding of no

significant impact is available for public

inspection between 7:30 a.m. to 5:30

p.m. weekdays in the Office of the Rules

Docket Clerk at the above address.

(b) Federalism Impact. The General

Counsel, as the Designated Official

under section 6(a) of Executive Order

12612, Federalism, has determined that

the policies contained in this Notice

will not have substantial direct effects

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 the various

levels of government. As a result, the

Notice is not subject to review under the

Order. The Notice announces the

availability of funds and invites

applications from eligible applicants for

the HOPWA program.

(c) Impact on the Family. The General

Counsel, as the Designated Official for

Executive Order 12606, the Family, has

determined that this Notice, to the

extent the funds provided under it are

directed to families, has the potential for

a beneficial impact on family formation,

maintenance and general well-being.

The statutory authority for the program

requires that the funds be targeted to

individuals with acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome or related

diseases and their families. Any funding

provided to projects can be expected to

enable those families with a

participating member who has HIV

infection to live in decent, safe, and

sanitary housing in connection with the

supportive services necessary to live

independently in mainstream American

society. Since the impact on families is

a beneficial one, no further review is

necessary.

(d) Accountability in the Provision of

HUD Assistance. HUD’s regulation

implementing section 102 of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Reform Act of 1989, found

at 24 CFR part 12, contains a number of

provisions designed to ensure greater

accountability and integrity in the

provision of certain types of assistance

administered by HUD. Additional

information on the implementation of

section 102 was published on January

16, 1992 at 57 FR 1942. The

documentation, public access, and

disclosure requirements of section 102

apply to assistance awarded under this

NOFA as follows:

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 fiveyear 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

publish notice of awards made in

response to this NOFA in the Federal

Register.

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 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) Prohibition on Advance Release of

Funding Information. HUD’s regulation

implementing section 103 of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Reform Act of 1989, found

at 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding

competition announced today. The

requirements of that 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 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. (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
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 1995 / Notices 9263

program questions, such as whether

particular subject matter can be

discussed with persons outside the

Department, should contact his or her

Regional or Field Office Counsel, or

Headquarters counsel for the program to

which the question pertains.

(f) 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. A standard

disclosure form, SF–LLL, ‘‘Disclosure

Form to Report Lobbying’’, must be used

to disclose lobbying with other than

Federally appropriated funds at the time

of application.

(g) Section 112 HUD Reform Act.

Section 112 of the HUD Reform Act

amended the Department of Housing

and Urban Development Act by adding

section 13, which 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 the Department

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 codified at 24 CFR part 86. If

readers are involved in any efforts to

influence the Department in these ways,

they are urged to read that rule,

particularly the examples contained in

Appendix A of the rule.

Any questions about the rule should

be directed to the Director, Office of

Ethics, room 2158, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, 451

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

20410–3000. 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) Drug-Free Workplace Certification.

In accordance with 24 CFR 24.630, an

applicant must submit its Certification

for a Drug-Free Workplace (Form HUD–

50070).

(i) Extenuating Circumstances. HUD

may consider for funding any

application received at the HUD

Headquarters address shown in the

‘‘Addresses’’ section of this NOFA by

6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the first

business day after the deadline shown

in the ‘‘Date’’ section if the applicant

can show there were circumstances

beyond its control that delayed delivery

of the application, such as the failure of

a delivery service to deliver the

application on or before the date it

specified.
