I. Purpose and Substantive Description

A. Authority

Section 801 of the Cranston-Gonzalez

National Affordable Housing Act

(NAHA) (Pub. L. 101–625, approved

November 28, 1990), amended section

202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12

U.S.C. 1701q). Section 202 was also

amended by the Housing and

Community Development Act of 1992

(HCD Act of 1992) (Pub. L. 102–550,

approved October 28, 1992), and by the

Rescissions Act (Pub. L. 104–19,

approved July 27, 1995). The Secretary

is authorized to provide assistance to

private nonprofit organizations and

nonprofit consumer cooperatives to

expand the supply of supportive

housing for the elderly. HUD provides

the assistance as capital advances and

contracts for project rental assistance in

accordance with 24 CFR part 891. This

assistance may be used to finance the

construction or rehabilitation of a

structure, or acquisition of a structure

from the Resolution Trust Corporation

(now the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation (RTC/FDIC), to be used as

supportive housing for the elderly in

accordance with part 891.

Note that on March 22, 1996, HUD

published a final rule (61 FR 11948) that

consolidated the regulations for the

Section 202 Program of Supportive

Housing for the Elderly and the Section

811 Program of Supportive Housing for

Persons with Disabilities in 24 CFR part

891.

For supportive housing for the

elderly, the Omnibus Consolidated

Rescissions and Appropriations Act of

1996 (Pub. L. 104–134, approved April

26, 1996)(Act) provides § 780,190,000

for capital advances, including

amendments to capital advance

contracts (not procurement contracts),

for housing for the elderly as authorized

by section 202 of the Housing Act of

1959, (as amended by the NAHA and

HCD Act of 1992), and for project rental

assistance, and amendments to contracts

for project rental assistance, for

supportive housing for the elderly under

section 202(c)(2) of the Housing Act of

1959, as amended. In accordance with

the waiver authority provided in the

Act, the Secretary is extending the

determinations made in the Notice

published in 61 F.R. 3047 to Fiscal Year

1996 funding by waiving the following

statutory and regulatory provision: The

term of the project rental assistance

contract is reduced from 20 years to a

minimum term of 5 years and a

maximum term which can be supported

by funds authorized by the Act. The

Department anticipates that at the end

of the contract terms, renewals will be

approved subject to the availability of

funds. In addition to this provision, the

Department will reserve project rental

assistance contract funds based on 75

percent rather than on 100 percent of

the current operating cost standards for

approved units in order to take into

account the average tenant contribution

toward rent.

Please note that the waiver broadening the

eligibility of tenants to persons with incomes

at 80 percent of the median or below (61 FR

3047, January 30, 1996) is not being extended

to the projects funded in accordance with

this NOFA. The statutory provision limiting

eligibility to persons with incomes at 50

percent of the median or below remains in

effect.

In accordance with an agreement

between HUD and the Rural Housing

Service (RHS), which facilitates the

coordination between the two agencies

in administering their respective rental

assistance programs, HUD is required to

notify RHS of applications for housing

assistance it receives. This notification

gives RHS the opportunity to comment

if it has concerns about the demand for

additional assisted housing and possible

harm to existing projects in the same

housing market area. HUD will consider

the RHS comments in its review and

project selection process.

B. Allocation Amounts

In accordance with 24 CFR part 791,

the Assistant Secretary will allocate the

amounts available for capital advances

for supportive housing for the elderly.

HUD reserves project rental assistance

funds based upon 75 percent of the

current operating cost standards to

support the units selected for capital

advances sufficient for minimum 5-year

project rental assistance contracts.

The allocation formula for Section

202 funds consists of a measure of the

number of one- and two-person elderly

renter households with incomes at or

below the very low income limit (50
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices 35867

percent of area median family income,

as determined by HUD, with an

adjustment for household size) that have

housing deficiencies.

Based on the allocation formula, HUD

has allocated the available capital

advance funds as shown on the

following chart:

C. Eligibility

Private, nonprofit organizations and

nonprofit consumer cooperatives are the

only eligible applicants under this

program. Neither a public body nor an

instrumentality of a public body is

eligible to participate in the program.

No organization shall participate as

Sponsor or Co-sponsor in the filing of

application(s) for a capital advance in a

single geographical region in this fiscal

year in excess of that necessary to

finance the construction, rehabilitation,

or acquisition (acquisition permitted

only with RTC/FDIC properties) of 200

units of housing and related facilities for

the elderly. This limit shall apply to

organizations that participate as Cosponsors regardless of whether the Cosponsors are affiliated or nonaffiliated

entities. In addition, the national limit

for any one applicant is 10 percent of

the total units allocated in all HUD

Offices. Affiliated entities that submit

separate applications shall be deemed to

be a single entity for the purposes of

these limits. No single application may

propose more than the number of units

allocated to a HUD Office or 125 units,

whichever is less. Reservations for

projects will not be approved for less

than 5 units.

D. Initial Screening, Technical

Processing, and Selection Criteria

1. Initial Screening

HUD will review applications for

Section 202 capital advances that are

received by HUD at the appropriate

address by 4:00 p.m. local time on

August 19, 1996, to determine if all

parts of the application are included.

HUD will not review the content of the

application as part of initial screening.

HUD will send deficiency letters, by

certified mail and facsimile, informing

Sponsors of any missing parts of the

application. Sponsors must correct such

deficiencies within 8 calendar days

from the date of the deficiency letter.

Any document requested as a result of

the initial screening may be executed or

prepared within the deficiency period,

except for Forms HUD–92015–CAs,

Articles of Incorporation, IRS exemption

rulings, Forms SF–424, Board

Resolution committing the minimum

capital investment, and site control

documents (all of these excepted items

must be dated no later than the

application deadline date).

2. Technical Processing

All applications will be placed in

technical processing upon receipt of the

response to the deficiency letter or at

the end of the 8-day period. These

applications will undergo a complete

analysis. If a reviewer finds that

clarification is needed to complete the

review, or an exhibit is missing that was

not requested after initial screening, the

reviewer shall immediately advise the

Multifamily Housing Representative,

who will: (a) request, by telephone, that

the Sponsor submit the information

within five (5) working days; and (b)

follow up by certified letter.

Communications must be attached to

the technical review and findings

memorandum. As part of this analysis,

HUD will conduct its environmental

review in accordance with 24 CFR part

50.

Examples of reasons for technical

processing rejection include an

ineligible Sponsor, ineligible population

to be served, lack of legal capacity, lack

of site control, and unacceptable site

based upon a site visit. The Secretary

will not reject an application based on

technical processing without giving

notice of that rejection with all rejection

reasons, and affording the applicant an

opportunity to appeal. HUD will afford

an applicant 10 calendar days from the

date of HUD’s written notice to appeal

a technical rejection to the HUD Office.

The HUD Office must respond within

five working days to the Sponsor. The

HUD Office shall make a determination

on an appeal prior to making its

selection recommendations. All

applications will be either rated or
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices 35869

technically rejected at the end of

technical processing.

Technical processing will also assure

that the Sponsor has complied with the

requirements in the civil rights

certification in the Application Package.

There must not have been an

adjudication of a civil rights violation in

a civil action brought against the

Sponsor by a private individual, unless

the Sponsor is operating in compliance

with a court order, or implementing a

HUD-approved compliance agreement

designed to correct the areas of

noncompliance. There must be no

pending civil rights suits against the

Sponsor instituted by the Department of

Justice, and no pending administrative

actions for civil rights violations

instituted by HUD (including a charge of

discrimination under the Fair Housing

Act). There must be no outstanding

findings of noncompliance with civil

rights statutes, Executive Orders, or

regulations, as a result of formal

administrative proceedings, nor any

charges issued by the Secretary against

the Sponsor under the Fair Housing Act,

unless the Sponsor is operating under a

conciliation or compliance agreement

designed to correct the areas of

noncompliance. Moreover, there must

not be a deferral of the processing of

applications from the Sponsor imposed

by HUD under Title VI of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, HUD’s

implementing regulations (24 CFR 1.8),

procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1),

and the Attorney General’s Guidelines

(28 CFR 50.3); or under section 504 of

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and

HUD’s implementing regulations (24

CFR 8.57), and the Americans with

Disabilities Act.

Upon completion of technical

processing, all acceptable applications

will be rated according to the selection

criteria in section I.D.3. of this NOFA.

Applications, submitted in response to

the advertised metropolitan allocations

and nonmetropolitan allocations, which

have a total score of 60 points or more

will be eligible for selection and will be

placed in rank order per metropolitan/

nonmetropolitan allocation. These

applications will be selected based on

rank order, to and including the last

application that can be funded out of

each of the local HUD Office’s

metropolitan/nonmetropolitan

allocations. HUD Offices shall not skip

over any applications in order to select

one based on the funds remaining.

However, after making the initial

selections in each allocation area, any

residual funds may be utilized to fund

the next rank-ordered application by

reducing the units by no more than 10

percent rounded to the nearest whole

number; provided the reduction will not

render the project infeasible. Projects of

nine units or less may not be reduced.

Once this process has been

completed, HUD Offices may combine

their unused metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan funds in order to select

another application in either category,

using the unit reduction policy

described above, if necessary.

Funds remaining after these processes

are completed will be returned to

Headquarters. These funds will be used

first to restore units to projects reduced

by HUD Offices as a result of the

instructions above and, second, for

selecting applications on a national rank

order. However, no more than one

application will be selected per HUD

Office from the national residual

amount unless there are insufficient

approvable applications in other HUD

Offices. If funds still remain, additional

applications will be selected based on a

national rank order, insuring an

equitable distribution among HUD

Offices.

3. Selection Criteria

Applications for Section 202 capital

advances that successfully complete

technical processing will be rated using

the following selection criteria:

(a) The Sponsor’s ability to develop

and operate the proposed housing on a

long-term basis, considering the

following (60 points maximum—55 base

points plus 5 bonus points):

(1) The scope, extent, and quality of

the Sponsor’s experience in providing

housing or related services to those

proposed to be served by the project,

and the scope of the proposed project

(i.e., number of units, services,

relocation costs, development, and

operation) in relationship to the

Sponsor’s demonstrated development

and management capacity. (30 points);

(2) The scope, extent, and quality of

the Sponsor’s experience in providing

housing or related services to minority

persons or families (13 points);

(3) The extent of local community

support for the project and for the

Sponsor’s activities, including previous

experience in serving the area where the

project is to be located, and Sponsor’s

demonstrated ability to enlist volunteers

and raise local funds (12 points); and

(4) The Sponsor’s involvement of

elderly persons, including minority

elderly persons, in the development of

the application and its intent to involve

elderly persons, including minority

elderly persons, in the development of

the project (5 bonus points);

for the elderly in the area to be served

and the suitability of the site,

considering the following (30 points

maximum—25 base points plus 5 bonus

points):

(1) The extent of the need for the

project in the area based on a

determination by the HUD Office. HUD

will make this determination by

considering the Sponsor’s evidence of

need in the area based on the guidelines

in the Application Package, as well as

other economic, demographic, and

housing market data available to the

HUD Office. The data could include the

availability of existing Federally

assisted housing (HUD and RHS) (e.g.,

considering availability and vacancy

rates of public housing) for the elderly

and current occupancy in such

facilities, Federally assisted housing for

the elderly under construction or for

which fund reservations have been

issued, and in accordance with an

agreement between HUD and the RHS,

comments from the RHS on the demand

for additional assisted housing and the

possible harm to existing projects in the

same housing market area (8 points).

(2) The proximity or accessibility of

the site to shopping, medical facilities,

transportation, places of worship,

recreational facilities, places of

employment, and other necessary

services to the intended occupants;

adequacy of utilities and streets;

freedom of the site from adverse

environmental conditions; compliance

with site and neighborhood standards

(10 points); and

(3) Suitability of the site from the

standpoint of promoting a greater choice

of housing opportunities for minority

elderly persons/families (7 points).

area (5 bonus points).

(c) Adequacy of the provision of

supportive services and of the proposed

facility, considering the following (20

points maximum):

(1) The extent to which the proposed

design will meet the special physical

needs of elderly persons (3 points);

(2) The extent to which the proposed

size and unit mix of the housing will

enable the Sponsor to manage and

operate the housing efficiently and

ensure that the provision of supportive

services will be accomplished in an

economical fashion (4 points);

(3) The extent to which the proposed

design of the housing will accommodate

the provision of supportive services that
35870 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices

are expected to be needed, initially and

over the useful life of the housing, by

the category or categories of elderly

persons the housing is intended to serve

(3 points);

(4) The extent to which the proposed

supportive services meet the identified

needs of the residents (5 points); and

(5) The extent to which the Sponsor

demonstrated that the identified

supportive services will be provided on

a consistent, long-term basis (5 points).

For the selection criterion in b.(4)

above, the Secretary’s Representative, or

the Secretary’s Representative in

consultation with the State/Area

Coordinator, may assign the 5 bonus

points to an application if the site for

the proposed project is approvable, is

located within the boundaries of a Place

Based Community Revitalization Area,

as defined above, and the locally

developed strategy for the area involves

items such as physical improvements,

necessary public facilities and services,

private investment and citizen self-help

activities.

The maximum number of points an

application can earn without bonus

points is 100. An application can earn

an additional 10 bonus points for a

maximum total of 110 points.

II. Application Process

All applications for Section 202

capital advances submitted by eligible

Sponsors must be filed with the

appropriate HUD Office receiving an

allocation and must meet the

requirements of this NOFA. No

application will be accepted after 4:00

p.m. local time on August 19, 1996,

unless that date and time is extended by

a Notice published in the Federal

Register. Applications received after

that date and time will not be accepted,

even if postmarked by the deadline date.

Applications submitted by facsimile are

not acceptable.

Immediately upon publication of this

NOFA, if names have not already been

provided to the Multifamily Housing

Clearinghouse, HUD Offices shall notify

elderly and minority media, all persons

and organizations on their mailing lists,

minority and other organizations within

their jurisdiction involved in housing

and community development, and

groups with special interest in housing

for elderly households.

Organizations interested in applying

for a section 202 capital advance should

contact the Multifamily Housing

Clearinghouse at 1–800–685–8470 (the

TTY number is 1–800–483–2209) for a

copy of the application package, and

advise the HUD Office whether they

wish to attend the workshop described

below. HUD encourages minority

organizations to participate in this

program as Sponsors. HUD Offices will

advise all organizations on their mailing

list of the date, time, and place of

workshops at which HUD will explain

the Section 202 program.

HUD strongly recommends that

prospective applicants attend the local

HUD Office workshop. Interested

persons with disabilities should contact

the HUD Office to assure that any

necessary arrangements can be made to

enable their attendance and

participation in the workshop. While

strongly urged to do so, if Sponsors

cannot attend a workshop, they can

obtain Application Packages from the

Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse (see

address and telephone number in the

‘‘Application Package’’ section of this

NOFA, above). Contact the appropriate

HUD Office with any questions

regarding the submission of

applications.

At the workshops, HUD will explain

application procedures and

requirements. HUD will also address

concerns such as local market

conditions, building codes, historic

preservation, floodplain management,

displacement and relocation, zoning,

and housing costs.

III. Application Submission

Requirements

A. Application

Each application shall include all of

the information, materials, forms, and

exhibits listed in section III.B., below

(with the exception of applications

submitted by Sponsors selected for a

Section 202 fund reservation within the

last three funding cycles), and must be

indexed and tabbed. Such previously

selected Section 202 Sponsors are not

required to submit the information

described in B.2.(a), (b), and (c), below

(Exhibits 2.a., b., and c. of the

application), which are the articles of

incorporation, (or other organizational

documents), by-laws, and the IRS tax

exemption, respectively. If there has

been a change in any of the eligibility

documents since its previous HUD

approval, the Sponsor must submit the

updated information in its application.

The local HUD Office will base its

determination of the eligibility of a new

Sponsor for a reservation of Section 202

capital advance funds on the

information provided in the application.

HUD Offices will verify a Sponsor’s

indication of previous HUD approval by

checking the project number and

approval status with the appropriate

HUD Office.

In addition to this relief of paperwork

burden in preparing applications,

applicants will be able to use

information and exhibits previously

prepared for prior applications under

Section 202, Section 811, or other

funding programs. Examples of exhibits

that may be readily adapted or amended

to decrease the burden of application

preparation include, among others,

those on previous participation in the

Section 202 or Section 811 programs,

applicant experience in provision of

housing and services, supportive

services plan, community ties, and

experience serving minorities.

B. General Application Requirements

1. Form HUD–92015–CA, Application

for Section 202 Supportive Housing

Capital Advance.

2. Evidence of each Sponsor’s legal

status as a private, nonprofit

organization or nonprofit consumer

cooperative, including the following:

(a) Articles of Incorporation,

constitution, or other organizational

documents;

(b) By-laws;

(c) IRS tax exemption ruling (this

must be submitted by all Sponsors,

including churches). A consumer

cooperative that is tax exempt under

State law, has never been liable for

payment of Federal income taxes, and

does not pay patronage dividends may

be exempt from the requirement set out

in the previous sentence if it is not

eligible for tax exemption.

Note: Sponsors who have received a

section 202 fund reservation within the last

three funding cycles are not required to

submit the documents described in (a), (b),

and (c), above. Instead, sponsors must submit

the project number of the latest application

and the HUD office to which it was

submitted. If there have been any

modifications or additions to the subject

documents, indicate such, and submit the

new material.

(d) Resolution of the board, duly

certified by an officer, that no officer or

director of the Sponsor or Owner has or

will have any financial interest in any

contract with the Owner or in any firm

or corporation that has or will have a

contract with the Owner and that

includes a current listing of all duly

qualified and sitting officers and

directors by title, and the beginning and

ending dates of each person’s term.

3. Sponsor’s purpose, community ties,

and experience, including the following:

(a) A description of Sponsor’s

purposes and activities, ties to the

community, and minority support, and

how long the Sponsor has been in

existence (include any additional

related information);

(b) A description of Sponsor’s housing

and/or supportive services experience.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices 35871

The description should include any

rental housing projects and/or medical

facilities, sponsored, owned, and

operated by the Sponsor, the Sponsor’s

management capabilities and

experience, and the Sponsor’s

experience in serving the elderly and/or

families and minorities;

(c) A description of Sponsor’s

participation in joint ventures and

experience in contracting with minorityowned businesses, women-owned

businesses, and small businesses over

the last three years, including a

description of the joint venture, partners

and the Sponsor’s involvement and a

summary of the total contract amounts

awarded in each of the three categories

for the preceding three years, and the

percentage that amount represents of all

contracts awarded by the Sponsor in the

relevant time period;

(d) A certified Board Resolution,

acknowledging responsibilities of

sponsorship, long-term support of the

project(s), willingness of Sponsor to

assist the Owner to develop, own,

manage, and provide appropriate

services in connection with the

proposed project, and that it reflects the

will of its membership. Also, evidence,

in the form of a certified Board

Resolution, of the Sponsor’s willingness

to fund the estimated start-up expenses,

the Minimum Capital Investment (onehalf of one percent of the HUDapproved capital advance, not to exceed

$10,000, if nonaffiliated with a National

Sponsor; one-half of one percent of the

HUD-approved capital advance, not to

exceed $25,000, for all other Sponsors;),

and the estimated cost of any amenities

or features (and operating costs related

thereto) that would not be covered by

the approved capital advance.

(e) Description, if applicable, of the

Sponsor’s efforts to involve elderly

persons, including minority elderly

persons, in the development of the

application, as well as its intent to

involve elderly persons in the

development of the project.

4. Project information, including the

following:

(a) Evidence of need for supportive

housing. Such evidence would include

a description of the category or

categories of elderly persons the

housing is intended to serve and

evidence demonstrating sustained

effective demand for supportive housing

for that population in the market area to

be served, taking into consideration the

occupancy and vacancy conditions in

existing Federally assisted housing for

the elderly (HUD and RHS; e.g., public

housing); State or local data on the

limitations in activities of daily living

among the elderly in the area; aging in

place in existing assisted rentals; trends

in demographic changes in elderly

population and households; the

numbers of income eligible elderly

households by size, tenure, and housing

condition, the types of supportive

services arrangements currently

available in the area and the use of such

services as evidenced by data from local

social service agencies or agencies on

aging.

(b) Description of the project,

including the following:

(1) Narrative description of the

building design, including a description

of any special design features and

community space, and how this design

will facilitate the delivery of services in

an economical fashion and

accommodate the changing needs of the

residents over the next 10–20 years.

(2) Describe whether and how the

project will promote energy efficiency,

and, if applicable, innovative

construction or rehabilitation methods

or technologies to be used that will

promote efficient construction.

(c) Evidence of site control and

permissive zoning.

(1) Evidence that the Sponsor has

entered into a legally binding option

agreement (which extends through the

end of the current fiscal year and

contains a renewal provision so that the

option can be renewed for at least an

additional six months) to buy or lease

the proposed site; or has a copy of the

contract of sale for the site, a deed, longterm leasehold, a request with all

supporting documentation, submitted

either prior to or with the Application

for Capital Advance, for a partial release

of a site covered by a mortgage under a

HUD program, or other evidence of legal

ownership of the site (including

properties to be acquired from the RTC/

FDIC). The Sponsor must also identify

any restrictive covenants, including

reverter clauses. In the case of a site to

be acquired from a public body,

evidence that the public body possesses

clear title to the site, and has entered

into a legally binding agreement to lease

or convey the site to the Sponsor after

it receives and accepts a notice of

Section 202 capital advance and

identification of any restrictive

covenants, including reverter clauses.

However, in localities where HUD

determines the time constraints of the

funding round will not permit all of the

required official actions (e.g., approval

of Community Planning Boards) that are

necessary to convey publicly-owned

sites, a letter in the application from the

mayor or director of the appropriate

local agency indicating approval of

conveyance of the site contingent upon

the necessary approval action is

acceptable and may be approved by the

HUD Office if it has satisfactory

experience with timely conveyance of

sites from that public body. In such

cases, documentation shall also include

a copy of the public body’s evidence of

ownership and identification of any

restrictive covenants, including reverter

clauses.

Note: A proposed project site may not be

acquired or optioned from a general

contractor (or its affiliate) that will construct

the section 202 project or from any other

development team member.

(2) Evidence that the project as

proposed is permissible under

applicable zoning ordinances or

regulations, or a statement of the

proposed action required to make the

proposed project permissible and the

basis for belief that the proposed action

will be completed successfully before

the submission of the commitment

application (e.g., a summary of the

results of any requests for rezoning on

land in similar zoning classifications

and the time required for such rezoning,

preliminary indications of acceptability

from zoning bodies, etc.).

(3) Narrative description of site and

area surrounding the site, characteristics

of neighborhood, how the site will

promote greater housing opportunities

for minorities, and any other

information that affects the suitability of

the site for the elderly.

(4) A map showing the location of the

site and the racial composition of the

neighborhood, with the area of racial

concentration delineated.

(5) A Transaction Screen Process, in

accordance with the American Society

for Testing and Material (ASTM)

Standards E 1528–93 and E 1527–93, as

amended. If the completion of the

Transaction Screen Questionnaire

results in either a ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘unknown’’

response, further study is required, and

the Sponsor must complete a Phase I

Environmental Site Assessment in

accordance with the ASTM and submit

it with the application. Sponsors may

choose to automatically complete a

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

in lieu of completing the Transaction

Screen Questionnaire. If the Phase I

study indicates the possible presence of

contamination and/or hazards, further

study must be undertaken. At this point,

the Sponsor must decide whether to

continue with this site or choose

another site. Should the Sponsor choose

another site, the same environmental

site assessment procedure identified

above must be followed for that site.
35872 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices

Since all Transaction Screen processes

and Phase I studies must be completed

and submitted with the application, it is

important that the Sponsor start the site

assessment process as soon after the

publication of this NOFA as possible.

If the Sponsor chooses to continue

with the original site, then it must

undertake a detailed Phase II

Environmental Site Assessment by an

appropriate professional.

Note: This could be an expensive

undertaking. The cost of the study will be

borne by the sponsor if the application is not

selected.

If the Phase II Assessment reveals site

contamination, the extent of the

contamination, and a plan for clean-up

of the site must be submitted to the local

HUD Office. The plan for clean-up must

include a contract for remediation of the

problem(s) and an approval letter from

the applicable Federal, State, and/or

local agency with jurisdiction over the

site. In order for the application to be

considered for review under this FY

1996 funding, this information would

have to be submitted to the local HUD

Office no later than 30 days after the

application deadline date.

Note: For properties to be acquired from

the RTC/FDIC, include a copy of the RTC/

FDIC prepared Transaction Screen Checklist

or Phase I Environmental Site Assessment,

and applicable documentation, per the RTC/

FDIC Environmental Guidelines.

(6) If applicable, identify whether the

site for the proposed project is located

within the boundaries of a Place Based

Community Revitalization Area, as

defined above. If the site is in a Place

Based Community Revitalization Area,

briefly summarize the locally developed

strategy for the area involving items

such as physical improvements,

necessary public facilities and services,

private investment and citizen self-help

activities.

(d) Provision of supportive services

and proposed facility.

(1) A detailed description of the

supportive services proposed to be

provided to the anticipated occupancy.

(2) Form HUD 92013E, Supplemental

Application Processing Form—Housing

for the Elderly. Identify all supportive

services, if any, to be provided to the

persons occupying such housing.

(3) A description of public or private

sources of assistance that reasonably

could be expected to fund the proposed

services.

(4) The manner in which such

services will be provided to such

persons (i.e., on or off-site), including

whether a service coordinator will

facilitate the adequate provision of such

services, and how the services will meet

the identified needs of the residents.

5. A list of the applications, if any, the

Sponsor has submitted or is planning to

submit to any other HUD Office in

response to this NOFA or the NOFA for

Supportive Housing for Persons with

Disabilities (published elsewhere in

today’s Federal Register). Indicate by

HUD Office, the proposed location by

city and State, and the number of units

requested for each application. Include

a list of all FY 1995 and prior year

projects to which the Sponsor(s) is a

party, identified by project number and

HUD Office, which have not been

finally closed.

6. HUD–2880, Applicant/Recipient

Disclosure/Update Report, including

Social Security Numbers and Employee

Identification Numbers.

7. E.O. 12372. A certification that the

Sponsor has submitted a copy of its

persons (families, individuals,

businesses, and nonprofit

organizations), identified by race/

minority group, and status as owners or

tenants, occupying the property on the

date of submission of the application for

a capital advance; (b) indicates the

estimated cost of relocation payments

and other services; and (c) identifies the

staff organization that will carry out the

relocation activities.

Note: If any of the relocation costs will be

funded from sources other than the section

202 capital advance, the sponsor must

provide evidence of a firm commitment of

these funds. When evaluating applications,

HUD will consider the total cost of proposals

(i.e., cost of site acquisition, relocation,

construction and other project costs).

9. SF–424. A certification on SF–424,

Application for Federal Assistance, that

the Sponsor(s) is not delinquent on the

repayment of any Federal debt.

10. Disclosure of Lobbying Activities.

If the amount applied for is greater than

$100,000, the certification with regard

to lobbying required by 24 CFR part 87

must be included. If the amount applied

for is greater than $100,000 and the

applicant has made or has agreed to

make any payment using

nonappropriated funds for lobbying

activity, as described in 24 CFR part 87,

the submission must also include SF

LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities.

The applicant determines if the

submission of the SF LLL form is

applicable.

11. Certification of Consistency with

the Consolidated Plan (Plan) for the

jurisdiction in which the proposed

project will be located must be

submitted by the Sponsor. The

certification must be made by the unit

of general local government if it is

required to have, or has, a complete

Plan. Otherwise the certification may be

made by the State, or if the project will

be located in a unit of general local

government authorized to use an

abbreviated strategy, by the unit of

general local government if it is willing

to prepare such a Plan.

All certifications must be made by the

public official responsible for

submitting the Plan to HUD. The

Owner to insure the development and

long-term operation of the project,

including capitalizing the Owner at

conditional commitment processing in

an amount sufficient to meet its

obligations in connection with the

project.

IV. Development Cost Limits

(a) The following development cost

limits, adjusted by locality as described

in (b) below, shall be used to determine

the capital advance amount to be

reserved for projects for the elderly:

(1) The total development cost of the

property or project attributable to

dwelling use (less the incremental

development cost and the capitalized

operating costs associated with any

excess amenities and design features to

be paid for by the Sponsor) may not

exceed:

Non-elevator structures:

$28,032 per family unit without a

bedroom;

$32,321 per family unit with one

bedroom;

$38,979 per family unit with two

bedrooms;

For elevator structures:

$29,500 per family unit without a

bedroom;

$33,816 per family unit with one

bedroom;

$41,120 per family unit with two

bedrooms;

(2) These cost limits reflect those

costs reasonable and necessary to

develop a project of modest design that

complies with HUD minimum property

standards; the accessibility

requirements of § 891.120(b); and the

project design and cost standards of

§ 891.120.

(b) Increased development cost limits.

(1) HUD may increase the

development cost limits set forth in

paragraph (a)(1) of this section by up to

140 percent in any geographic area

where the cost levels require, and may

increase the development cost limits by

up to 160 percent on a project-by-project

basis.

(2) If HUD finds that high

construction costs in Alaska, Guam,

Virgin Islands or Hawaii make it

infeasible to construct dwellings,

without the sacrifice of sound standards

of construction, design, and livability,

within the development cost limits

provided in this paragraph (a), the

amount of the capital advances may be

increased to compensate for such costs.

The increase may not exceed the limits

established under this section

(including any high cost area

adjustment) by more than 50 percent.

V. Other Matters

A. Environmental Impact

A Finding of No Significant Impact

with respect to the environment has

been made in accordance with HUD

regulations that implement section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The

Finding of No Significant Impact is

available for public inspection during

business hours in the Office of the Rules

Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel,

Room 10276, Department of Housing

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh

Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410. This

NOFA only solicits applications for

supportive housing for the elderly.

B. Federalism Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under section 6(a) of

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has

determined that this NOFA does not

have substantial direct effects on States

or their political subdivisions, or on the

relationship between the Federal

government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. This NOFA

merely notifies the public of the

availability of capital advances and

project rental assistance for supportive

housing for the elderly.

C. Family Executive Order

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has

determined that this NOFA does not

have the potential for significant impact

on family formation, maintenance, or

general well-being. This NOFA may

have a positive though indirect effect on

families, to the extent that families will

benefit from the provision of supportive

housing for elderly persons. Since any

effect on families is beneficial, this

NOFA is not subject to review under the

Order.

D. Accountability in the Provision of

HUD Assistance

HUD has promulgated a final rule to

implement section 102 of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD

Reform Act). This final rule is codified

at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102 contains

a number of provisions that are

designed to ensure greater

accountability and integrity in the

provision of certain types of assistance

administered by HUD. On January 14,

1992, HUD published in the Federal

Register (57 FR 1942) additional

information that gave the public

(including applicants for, and recipients

of, HUD assistance) further information

on the implementation, public access,

and disclosure requirements of section

102. The documentation, public access,

and disclosure requirements of section

102 are applicable to assistance awarded

under this NOFA as follows:

1. Documentation and Public Access

Requirements

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 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.)

2. Disclosures

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
35874 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices

CFR part 15. (See 24 CFR 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 Against Advance

Information on Funding Decisions.

HUD’s regulation implementing

section 103 of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989, 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 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 or employees who have

ethics related questions should contact

the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708–3815

(TTY/Voice). (This is not a toll-free

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 the

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.
