SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. The March 15, 1996 NOFA

On March 15, 1996 (61 FR 10866),

HUD published a NOFA announcing the

1996 homeless assistance competition to

help communities develop Continuum

of Care systems to assist homeless

persons. These funds are available

under three HUD programs to create

community systems for combatting

homelessness. The three programs are:

(1) Supportive Housing; (2) Shelter Plus

Care; and (3) Section 8 Moderate

Rehabilitation for Single Room

Occupancy Dwellings for Homeless

Individuals. The March 15, 1996 NOFA

contained information concerning the

Continuum of Care approach, eligible

applicants, eligible activities,

application requirements, and

application processing.

Congress had not yet enacted a FY

1996 appropriation for HUD at the time

of publication of the March 15, 1996

NOFA. Accordingly, the March 15, 1996

NOFA set forth HUD’s estimate of the

FY 1996 funding that the Congress

would make available. HUD published

the NOFA in order to give potential

applicants adequate time to prepare

applications. The purpose of this notice

is to publish the final FY 1996 amount

made available under the March 15,

1996 NOFA.

B. Final FY 1996 Funding Amount

Under the March 15, 1996 NOFA

On April 26, 1996, the President

signed the Omnibus Consolidated

Rescissions and Appropriations Act of

1996 (OCRA) (Pub.L. 104–134, approved

April 26, 1996). The OCRA makes

$823,000,000 in FY 1996 funds

available for HUD’s homeless assistance

grants programs. Of this amount, $675

million is being made available under

the March 15, 1996 NOFA. Of the

remaining amount, HUD is making $115

million available for the Emergency

Shelter Grants Program, and $33 million

for the renewal of previously awarded

grants.

C. Revised Pro Rata Need Estimates

Appendix B to the March 15, 1996

NOFA set forth two columns of pro rata

need estimates for use by eligible

jurisdictions. These figures were based

on different HUD estimates of the FY

1996 funding amount that the Congress

would make available. Estimate A,

which equalled $675 million, was based

on Congressional action authorizing

interim spending, referred to as a

Continuing Resolution. Estimate B,

which totalled $925 million, reflected

the Administration’s FY 1996 Budget

request (published February 1995). As

explained above, the final FY 1996

amount made available under the March

15, 1996 NOFA is $675 million.

Applicants should therefore utilize

Estimate A in determining their relative

need estimates. Estimate B should be

disregarded.
