Office of the Assistant Secretary for

Public and Indian Housing

[Docket No. N–95–3854; FR–3785–N–01]

Notice of Funding Availability for

Service Coordinators for Public

Housing Agencies

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability

(NOFA) for Fiscal Year 1994 and Fiscal

Year (FY) 1995.

SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the

availability of up to $46.043 million in

funding for service coordinators and

supportive services for elderly and nonelderly disabled residents in public

housing. The service coordinators in

public housing program is a

comprehensive effort to ensure that

elderly and non-elderly disabled

residents have access to the services

they need to enhance the quality of life,

to live independently, and to avoid

premature or unnecessary

institutionalization.

In this NOFA, a new and streamlined

grant application/award process is

implemented. HUD headquarters will

conduct a national lottery competition

for public housing agencies (PHAs) to

determine funding awards. In this

lottery competition, eligible PHAs must

submit an application with a minimum

amount of documentation to pass

screening and selection criteria for

inclusion in the lottery competition.

In the body of this NOFA is

information concerning:

(1) The principal objectives of the

competition, the funding available,

eligible applicants, and screening and

selection criteria;

(2) The application process, including

how to apply and how selections will be

made; and

(3) A checklist of application

submission requirements.

DATES: The due date for submission of

applications in response to this NOFA

is April 28, 1995. Applications must be

postmarked by midnight, or handdelivered to the local HUD Office by

3:00 p.m. on April 28, 1995. A Fax copy

is not acceptable. The above-stated

application deadline is firm as to date,

hour and place. 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 deliveryrelated problems.

I. Purpose and Substantive Description

(A)(1) Authority

This program is authorized by section

673 of the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1992 (codified at 42

USC 13631; hereafter referred to as

‘‘1992 HCD Act’’).

(A)(2) 24 CFR Part 135

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban

Development Act of 1968 and the

regulations at 24 CFR part 135 (see June

30, 1994 Interim Rule, 59 FR 33866) are

applicable to funding awards made

under this NOFA. One of the purposes

of the assistance is to give to the greatest

extent feasible, and consistent with

existing Federal, State and local laws

and regulations, job training,

employment, contracting and other

economic opportunities to section 3

residents and section 3 business

concerns.

(B) Background

The service coordinators in public

housing program is a comprehensive

effort to ensure that elderly and nonelderly disabled residents have access to

the services they need to live

independently, regardless of the type of

unit in which they reside in the public

housing development, and to prevent

placement in nursing homes or

institutions.

A service coordinator is hired by a

public housing authority (PHA) and is

responsible for assuring that the elderly

and disabled residents are linked to

needed supportive services. Service

coordination may be performed by: An

on-site staff person hired by the PHA for

a project or shared between PHA

projects; an on-site staff person hired

from a third party agency, and

contracted to one or more projects; an

on-site staff person hired by a third

party agency, and contracted to one or

more PHA projects; or a staff person

hired by a third party agency hired by

the PHA, who provides case

management and services coordination

for a PHA resident in concert with the

distribution of that agency or another

agency’s funding.

The major functions of the service

coordinator are:

—To provide general case management

and referral services to all residents

needing such assistance;

—To establish linkage with all agencies

and service providers in the

community;

—To set out a directory of providers for

use by both PHA staff and residents;

—To refer and link the residents of the

PHA to service providers in the

general community;

—To educate residents on service

availability, application, procedures,

client rights;

—To develop case plans in coordination

with assessment services in the

community or with a Professional

Assessment Committee (as defined in

§ 802(e)(3)(B) of the National

Affordable Housing Act, codified at

42 U.S.C. 8011);

—To monitor the ongoing provision of

services from community agencies

and to keep the case management and

provider agency current with the

progress of the individual;

—To set up volunteer support programs

with service organizations in the

community;
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 1995 / Notices 10765

—To help the residents build support

networks with other residents, family

and friends;

—To provide training to PHA residents

in the obligation of tenancy or

coordinate such training;

—To educate other staff on the

management team on issues related to

aging in place and service

coordination, to help them to better

work with and assist residents.

Each service coordinator shall be

trained in the aging process, elder

services, disability services, eligibility

for and procedures of Federal and

applicable State entitlement programs,

legal liability issues relating to

providing service coordination, drug

and alcohol use and abuse by the

elderly, and mental health issues.

In accordance with section 673 of the

Housing and Community Development

Act Amendments of 1992, the grant may

include funding for up to 15 percent of

the costs of eligible supportive services,

in addition to the costs specifically

associated with the service coordinator.

The PHA will be required to show that

at least 85 percent of the costs of related

supported services will be paid with

non-grant funds.

Eligible supportive services include

health-related services, mental health

services, services for non-medical

counseling, meals, transportation,

personal care, bathing, toileting,

housekeeping, chore assistance, safety,

group and socialization activities,

assistance with medications (in

accordance with any applicable State

laws), case management, personal

emergency response, and other

appropriate services.

Finally, in accordance with section

673 of the 1992 HCD Act, supportive

services funded by this competition may

not be provided to any person receiving

assistance under the Congregate

Housing Services Act of 1978 or Section

802 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National

Affordable Housing Act.

(C) Allocation Amounts

For FY 1994, the Department of

Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban

Development, and Independent

Agencies Appropriations Act, 1994

(Pub. L. 103–124, Approved October 28,

1993) made $30 million available for the

service coordinators in public housing

program. For FY 1995, the Department

of Veterans Affairs and Housing and

Urban Development, and Independent

Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995

(Pub. L. 103–327, approved September

28, 1994) made $30 million available for

the service coordinators in public

housing program. Together these two

appropriations bills make

approximately $60 million available to

PHAs for service coordinators in public

housing. However, since some of the

appropriated funds are to be derived

from carryover funds or the recapture of

prior year obligations, the actual amount

available is $46.043 million.

In this competition, an eligible PHA

may apply for a three year grant. The

funding level is based on the number of

elderly and disabled families in the

PHA’s occupied units:

Elderly/disabled families in PHA

occupied units

Maximum

dollars per

PHA

250 to 499 .................................. 90,000

500 to 999 .................................. 150,000

1,000 to 9,999 ............................ 675,000

10,000 + ..................................... 1,875,000

The funds are to be used for: (1) The

cost of employing or otherwise retaining

the services of one or more service

coordinators to coordinate the provision

of supportive services for residents who

are elderly families and disabled

families; and (2) the expenses for the

provision of services for such residents

of the PHA. In addition, not more than

15 percent of the cost of providing

supportive services is eligible for

funding under this grant; however, the

15 percent cost for the provision of

supportive services is an optional

feature of this grant.

The amounts allocated under this

NOFA will be awarded based on a

national lottery for selection from all

PHAs that pass both the screening and

selection criteria. The Department

reserves the right to award grants less

than the amount requested by the PHA,

as described below.

As PHAs are selected, the costs of

funding the applications will be

counted against the total funds available

under this NOFA. Applications will be

funded in full in accordance with this

NOFA. However, when the remaining

funds are insufficient to fund the last

PHA application in full, HUD

Headquarters may fund that application

to the extent of the funding available

and the PHA’s willingness to accept a

reduced award amount. PHAs that do

not wish to have the size of their award

reduced may indicate in their ‘‘Letter of

Intent’’ (described below) that they do

not wish to be considered for a reduced

award of funds. HUD Headquarters will

skip over these PHAs if assigning the

remaining funding would result in a

reduced funding level.

After the lottery, Headquarters will

award grants to the local HUD offices

under that jurisdiction by fund

assignment for the total number of PHAs

approved in the competition. Within the

limits of available federal funds, HUD

will make grant awards consistent with

the statute and the requirements in this

NOFA.

(D) Eligibility

(1) Eligible Applicants

(a) Eligible applicants are PHAs

operating low-rent conventional public

housing with at least 250 or more

elderly, or disabled families. However,

two or more PHAs, in the same

geographical area with fewer than 250

a joint application.

(b) To be an eligible applicant, the

PHA(s) must also have a good record of

maintaining and operating public

housing as determined by the Public

Housing Management Assessment

Program (PHMAP) (see 24 CFR Part

901). In this NOFA, a PHA can establish

a ‘‘good record of maintaining and

operating public housing’’ if (1) the PHA

has earned a PHMAP score of 60 or

more points; (2) the PHA has instituted

an Improvement Plan that is acceptable

to the local HUD Office; or (3) the PHA

is operating under a Memorandum of

Agreement (MOA). Local HUD Offices

will verify that the PHA has complied

with all requirements, including

verification of a passing PHMAP score,

or an Improvement Plan that is

satisfactory to the local HUD Office or

a MOA, and an explanation of the

PHA’s ability to implement the elderly

service coordinator project as noted

above.

(2) Ineligible Applicants

Ineligible applicants are PHAs for

which:

(a) The Department of Justice has

brought a civil rights suit against the

applicant PHA, and the suit is pending;

(b) There has been an adjudication of

a civil rights violation in a civil action

brought against the PHA by a private

individual, unless the PHA is operating

in compliance with court order, or

implementing a HUD approved tenant

selection and assignment plan or

compliance agreement designed to

correct the areas of noncompliance;

(c) There are outstanding findings of

noncompliance with civil rights

statutes, Executive Orders, or

regulations as a result of formal

administrative proceedings, or the

Secretary has issued a charge against the

applicant under the Fair Housing Act,

unless the applicant is operating under

a conciliation or compliance agreement

designed to correct the areas of

noncompliance;

(d) HUD has deferred application

processing by HUD under title VI of the
10766 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 1995 / Notices

Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Attorney

General’s Guidelines (28 CFR 50.3) and

the HUD title VI regulations (24 CFR

1.8) and procedures (HUD Handbook

8040.1) or under section 504 of the

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and HUD

regulations (24 CFR 8.57); or

(e) There are serious unaddressed

Inspector General Audit findings, Fair

Housing and Equal Opportunity

monitoring review findings, or local

HUD office management review

findings.

II. Application Process

(A) Application Deadline

The due date for submission of

applications in response to this NOFA

is April 28, 1995. Applications must be

postmarked by midnight, or handdelivered to the local HUD Office by

3:00 P.M. on April 28, 1995. A Fax is

not acceptable. (See Appendix A for a

listing of local HUD Offices.) The abovestated application deadline is firm as to

date, hour and place. 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 deliveryrelated problems.

(B) Screening Criteria

All PHAs will automatically be

notified by the local HUD Office of the

receipt of their letter and accompanying

documentation and will be informed if

they pass the screening criteria. To

ensure minimum standards of equity

and fairness, the local HUD Office will

screen all PHA applications for

completeness to determine conformity

to the requirements of this

announcement. PHAs which do not pass

the screening criteria will receive no

further consideration for the lottery.

PHAs that fail to submit any of the

documents accompanying the ‘‘Letter of

Intent’’ will not be eligible to participate

in the lottery.

The screening criteria are as follows:

(i) The PHA submits an application

package consisting of a ‘‘Letter of

Intent,’’ and all required accompanying

documentation set forth in section III(A)

in a timely fashion in accordance with

section II(A) of this NOFA;

(ii) The PHA meets the eligibility

requirements set forth in section I(D) of

this NOFA.

(C) Selection Criteria

PHAs that meet the eligibility

requirements outlined in this NOFA,

and submit all of the required

information will pass the screening

criteria. PHAs passing the screening

criteria will be further reviewed by an

independent review panel of at least

two individuals in each local HUD

Office to give each application a ‘‘pass’’

or ‘‘fail’’ determination in the following

criteria:

(i) Proposed funding amount. The

Standard Form 424—Application for

Federal Assistance requests an amount

of funds not to exceed the amount

specified in the funding categories for

PHAs in section I(C) of this NOFA; and

Standard Form 424A—Budget

Information—Non-Construction

Programs.

(ii) Evidence of Need for Assistance.

The PHA provides:

(a) Documentation evidencing the

number of elderly/disabled families

residing in the PHA that will be served

by the grant;

(b) Documentation briefly describing

key problem(s)/condition(s) relevant to

the need for the grant;

(c) If optional supportive services will

be provided in the grant, verification of

access to pertinent supportive services

to address the needs of the residents;

and a discussion of the relevant

supportive services that will be

provided, and the PHA’s ability to

acquire other sources of funds to assist

in the procurement of needed

supportive services. (Other sources of

funds may be ‘‘in-kind’’ services or

other volunteer-type services from the

community.)

(iii) Verification of PHMAP Score.

Supporting documentation evidencing

either a PHMAP score of at least 60

points, an approved Improvement Plan

or MOA;

(iv) Forms. Submission of the

following forms:

(1) Drug-Free Workplace Certification,

(D) Selection Process

Headquarters will select all eligible

PHAs to be funded based on a lottery.

All PHAs identified by the local HUD

Offices as passing the screening and

selection criteria identified in this

NOFA will be eligible for the national

lottery selection process. Local HUD

Offices will submit a memorandum with

the amount of the grant, name and other

basic information of eligible PHAs

passing the screening and selection

criteria to HUD Headquarters, Office of

Public and Indian Housing, Office of

Community Relations and Involvement,

Room 4112, Attention: Bertha Jones.

HUD will hold the lottery in the Office

of Public and Indian Housing at HUD

Headquarters, 451 7th street, S.W.,

Washington, DC 20410, upon receipt of

the names of all ‘‘passing’’ PHAs. After

Headquarters conducts the lottery,

Headquarters will notify the local HUD

Offices of the results of the lottery. Local

HUD Offices will then notify the PHAs

of the results of the Lottery.

III. Checklist of Application

Submission Requirements

(A) Application Requirements.

Applicants must complete and submit

applications in accordance with

instructions contained in this NOFA.

Each applicant may submit only one

application under this announcement. If

two or more PHAs are jointly making a

request for funds and plan to share a

service coordinator, one applicant must

act as the ‘‘lead PHA’’ and submit a

transmittal letter covering all requests,

which must be submitted to HUD

together. This insures that all multiple

requests are reviewed as one package.

The following is a checklist of the

application contents. Interested PHAs

must submit a ‘‘Letter of Intent’’ to

compete in the lottery. The ‘‘Letter of

Intent’’ and supporting documentation

described below should not exceed 15

pages, and must be arranged and

identified in the application in the order

in which it appears below.

Section I—Proposed funding amount.

(a) The Standard Form 424—

Application for Federal Assistance

should include the amount of funds

being requested not to exceed the

amount specified in the funding

categories for PHAs in section I(C) of

this NOFA.

(b) Standard Form SF–424A—Budget

Information—Non-Construction

Programs should also be included in

Section I.

Section II—Evidence of need for

assistance.

(a) Documentation providing evidence

of the number of elderly/disabled

families residing in the PHA that are

eligible to be served by this grant.

Documentation briefly describing key

problem(s)/condition(s) relevant to the

needs of the elderly and non-elderly

disabled residents;

(b) Description of any optional

supportive services that will be

provided including the costs associated

with providing the supportive services.

Applicants should note that a PHA is

not required to use any portion of the

grant to cover the costs of the supportive
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 1995 / Notices 10767

services. However, the grant may not be

used to cover more than 15 percent of

the costs of supportive services (i.e. if

the PHA elects to provide supportive

services for its eligible residents, then

the PHA must provide or obtain other

sources of funds to cover at least 85

percent of the costs of supportive

services).

(c) If the PHA elects to use the grant

to cover up to 15 percent of the costs of

supportive services, then the PHA must

also submit written commitments,

contracts or letters of agreement

evidencing: (1) The total costs of the

proposed supportive services; (2) the

availability of non-grant funds to cover

at least 85% of the costs of the

supportive services. (However ‘‘in-kind’’

services or other volunteer-type services

from the community may be used in

lieu of non-grant funds.) The written

commitments, contracts or letters of

agreement must be executed by an

authorized individual on behalf of the

organization or entity providing either

the non-grant funding or the ‘‘in-kind’’

services.

Section III—Verification of passing

PHMAP score or appropriate

explanation.

If the housing authority received a

PHMAP score of less than 60, it should

include appropriate documentation of

its Improvement Plan or MOA, and its

ability to implement the elderly services

coordinator project.

Section IV—Certifications,

Assurances and Forms.

(a) Certification of compliance with

all applicable civil rights laws and

requirements;

(b) Drug-Free Workplace Certification;

(c) Assurances—Non-Construction

Programs—Standard Form SF–424B;

(d) Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/

Update Report—Form HUD–2880; and

(e) Disclosure of Lobbying

Activities—(SF–LLL Form), if

applicable (see Section V.G of this

NOFA).

IV. Corrections to Deficient

Applications

To be eligible for processing, an

application must be received by the

local HUD Office no later than the

application deadline date and time

specified in this NOFA. The local HUD

Office will screen all applications and

notify PHAs of technical deficiencies by

letter. Allowable corrections relate only

to technical items, as determined by

HUD, such as a missing signature on a

certification or a missing page from a

required document. (However, failure to

submit a required document will

constitute a ‘‘failure’’ of the screening

criteria, and the application will be

rejected as incomplete.)

All PHAs must submit corrections

within 14 calendar days from the date

of HUD’s letter notifying the applicant

of any technical deficiency. Information

received after 3:00 p.m. local time on

the fourteenth calendar day of the

correction period will not be accepted

and the application will be rejected as

being incomplete.

V. Other Matters

A. Environmental Review

In accordance with 40 CFR 1508.4 of

the regulations of the Council on

Environmental Quality and 24 CFR

50.20(o)(4) of the HUD regulations, the

policies and procedures contained in

this NOFA relate only to the provision

of supportive services, and therefore, are

categorically excluded from the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act.

B. Executive Order 12612, Federalism

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 makes funds available

to PHAs to employ or otherwise retain

the services of service coordinators, and

to provide for supportive services for

elderly or disabled residents of the PHA.

As such, there are no direct implications

on the relationship between the Federal

government and the states or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among various levels of

government.

C. Executive Order 12606, The Family

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has

determined that this NOFA will not

have a significant impact on the

formation, maintenance, and general

well-being of families except indirectly

to the extent of the social and other

benefits expected from this program of

assistance.

D. Documentation and Public Access

Requirements: HUD Reform Act

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 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

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.)

E. Prohibition Against Advance

Information on Funding Decisions

HUD’s regulation implementing

section 103 of the HUD Reform Act was

published on May 13, 1991 (56 FR

22088) and became effective on June 12,

1991. That regulation, codified as 24

CFR part 4, applies to the funding

competition announced today. 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

restrained 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

program questions, such as whether

particular subject matter can be

discussed with persons outside the

Department, should contact the assistant

general counsel for the geographical

region or Field Office Counsel, or

Headquarters counsel for the program to

which the question pertains.

F. Prohibition Against Lobbying of HUD

Personnel

Section 13 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Act

(42 U.S.C. 3537b) 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
10768 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 1995 / Notices

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). The

final rule is 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 part 86,

particularly the examples contained in

Appendix A of the regulation.

Any questions about the rule should

be directed to the 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: (202)

708–1112. These are not toll-free

numbers. Forms necessary for

compliance with the rule may be

obtained from the local HUD office.

G. 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) 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.

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 1437g(a)(1)(B).

Dated: February 17, 1995.

Joseph Shuldiner,

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing.
