[Docket No. N–95–3913; FR–3821–N–01]

Comprehensive Needs Assessments—

Instead of Notices of Funding

Availability (NOFAs) for Flexible

Subsidy and Loan Management SetAside

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of funding through

comprehensive needs assessments.

SUMMARY: HUD plans to exclude the

Flexible Subsidy and the Loan

Management Set-Aside programs from

the traditional NOFA process, beginning

with Fiscal Year 1995. Instead, the

funding for the projects under those two

programs will be made on a

noncompetitive basis. Funding will be

based on Comprehensive Needs

Assessments (CNAs) and other

applicable program requirements. Funds

will be allocated on a first come, first

served basis from among those projects

selected by local HUD offices to

participate in the CNA program. The

CNA approach will provide HUD with

the flexibility to target limited resources

to those projects most in need of repair.

At a later date, HUD will publish a

separate notice announcing the funding

and criteria for the Flexible Subsidy and

Loan Management Set-Aside Programs.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Funding through

Comprehensive Needs Assessments for

the Flexible Subsidy and Loan

Management Set-aside programs will be

effective April 20, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Barbara Hunter, Acting Director,

Planning and Procedures Division,

Office of Multifamily Housing

Management, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, Room 6184,

451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington,

or (202) 708–4594 (voice/TDD). (These

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Legal Authority and Purpose

(a) Authority

Comprehensive Needs Assessments

(CNAs) are legislatively authorized by

Title IV of the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1992 (HCDA 1992)

(12 U.S.C. 1715z–1a note), as amended

by section 103 of the Multifamily

Housing Property Disposition Reform

Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–233; approved

April 11, 1994).

(b) Purpose

HUD is publishing this notice to

inform HUD clients of a forthcoming

change in funding practice. HUD will

fund the Flexible Subsidy program (24

CFR part 219) and the Loan

Management Set-Aside program (LMSA)

(24 CFR part 886) through the CNA

approach instead of the Notice of

Funding Availability (NOFA) process.

The purpose of this change is to provide

HUD with the flexibility to target

limited resources to those projects HUD

deems to be most in need of repair.

II. Description of the CNA Approach

HUD will publish a separate notice

announcing the funding and criteria for

the Flexible Subsidy and Loan

Management Set-Aside programs. For

the funding of the Flexible Subsidy

program, all parts of section 201(n) of

the HCDA of 1978 will be met,

including the parts that provide that the

Secretary may make exceptions to the

CNA approach when funding flexible

subsidy to address certain emergency

needs in projects. Loan Management

Set-Aside will be funded based upon

the needs identified in the

Comprehensive Needs Assessment and

other program requirements. HUD has

issued a separate notice (H–95–27,

dated 3/30/95) to the local HUD offices

and industry explaining the CNA

Program and process, and informing

them how to select projects, beginning

in Fiscal Year (FY) 1995.

(a) Contents in General

The CNAs submitted by applicants for

the Flexible Subsidy and LMSA

programs must contain the following

information about the property:

(1) A description of current and future

financial resources and needs of certain

multifamily projects;

(2) A description of the involvement

of project residents in its development,

from start to finish;

(3) The results of a thorough and

detailed physical inspection of the

project;

(4) A statement of any assistance

needed under programs administered by

HUD;

(5) A description of available funding

for meeting the current and future needs

of the project and the likelihood of

obtaining such resources. These

resources include the assistance of

private foundations, State and local

governments, any HUD programs

(including Community Planning and

Development programs), rent increases,

refinancing, Flexible Subsidy, LMSA,

and Section 241 loans;

(6) Descriptions of modernization

needs and activities, supportive services

needed and provided, and any

personnel needs of the project.

(b) Applicability of CNA Approach

Unless their project has received or is

receiving assistance under the HOME

Investment Partnerships Act, owners of

the following kinds of projects are

required to submit a Comprehensive

Needs Assessment:

(1) Section 221(d)(3) (Market Interest

Rate) projects, Section 221(d)(5) (Below

Market Interest Rate) projects, and

Section 236 projects with mortgages

insured, assisted or held by HUD

(including State/Local Agency Section

236 projects), unless the owner is

receiving or has received assistance

under titles II (ELIHPHA) or VI

(LIHPRHA) or has filed a Notice of

Intent under those statutes.

Note: Projects subject to prepayment

restrictions under Title II or Title VI and that

have not received assistance or filed a Notice

of Intent under those statutes may not

participate in the CNA Program in fiscal

years 1995 or 1996 but may do so thereafter.

(2) Section 202 projects for elderly

and handicapped and Section 202

Supportive Housing for the Elderly.

(3) Section 811 Supportive Housing

for Persons with Disabilities.

(c) Cost Features for CNA

The project’s mortgagor is responsible

to pay for the preparation of the CNA.

Based on section 404(e) of the HCDA

1992, HUD will consider CNA expenses

up to $5,000 as eligible project expenses

(payable from project funds). Up to that

limit, HUD will authorize releases from

Residual Receipts accounts and Reserve

Fund for Replacement accounts when a

project’s operating account is

insufficient to fund the CNA. While

CNA preparation costs are considered to

be an eligible project expense, they

cannot be included to calculate rent

increases.
