47206 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Notices 

On page 39840, Overview 

Information, Section F., first column, 

entitled ‘‘Dates,’’ HUD is revising this 

section to read as follows: 

F. Dates: The application deadline 

date for the CoC NOFA is September 26, 

2008. Electronic applications must be 

received by e-snaps by 4 p.m. eastern 

time on the deadline date. HUD will 

close e-snaps at 4:01 p.m. eastern time. 

Similarly, paper applications from 

applicants granted a waiver from the 

electronic application submission 

requirement must be received by HUD 

by 4 p.m. eastern standard time on the 

deadline date. 

On page 39845, Section III.A.1., HUD 

is correcting the eligibility chart, fourth 

column under ‘‘Section 8 SRO,’’ to read 

as follows: 

Elements Section 8 SRO 

Authorizing Legislation ............................................................................. Section 441 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, 42 

U.S.C. 11401. 

Implementing Regulations ........................................................................ 24 CFR part 882, subpart H, except that all persons receiving rental 

assistance must meet the McKinney-Vento definition of homelessness. 

Eligible Applicant(s) .................................................................................. • PHAs. 

• Private nonprofit organizations. 

Eligible Component(s) .............................................................................. • SRO housing. 

Eligible Activities, See footnotes 1, 2, and 3 ........................................... • Rental assistance. 

Eligible Populations, See footnote 2 ........................................................ • Homeless individuals. 

Populations Given Special Consideration ................................................ • N/A. 

Initial Term of Assistance, See footnote 4 ............................................... • 10 years. 

On page 39851, Section V.1.e., third 

column, entitled ‘‘Emphasis on Housing 

Activities,’’ HUD is correcting this 

paragraph to read as follows: 

e. Emphasis on Housing Activities: 

HUD will award 18 points based on the 

relationship between funds requested 

for housing activities (i.e., transitional 

and permanent) and funds requested for 

supportive service activities. Housing 

emphasis will be calculated on eligible 

new and renewal projects within FPRN. 

HUD will count as housing activity all 

approvable requests for funds for rental 

assistance and approvable requests for 

acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, 

leasing and operations when used in 

connection with housing. HMIS costs 

and administrative costs will be 

excluded from this calculation. CoCs are 

not required to have 100 percent 

housing activities to receive the full 18 

points for this scoring criteria. 

On page 39854, Section VI.B.1.a., 

second column, HUD is correcting this 

paragraph to read as follows: 

a. The Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) requires Federal 

agencies to measure the performance of 

their programs. HUD captures this 

information not only from monitoring 

visits and APRs, but also on the data 

gathered in annual competitions. For 

example, the description of methods 

used in determining the project priority 

order submitted in Exhibit 1 provides 

verification that projects are performing 

satisfactorily and are effectively 

addressing the needs for which they 

were designed. HUD’s homeless 

assistance programs are measured in 

2008 by the objective to ‘‘end chronic 

homelessness and to move homeless 

families and individuals to permanent 

housing.’’ This objective has a number 

of measurable indicators, four of which 

relate directly to the Continuum of Care 

homeless assistance programs. These 

four indicators, as described below, will 

be collected in Exhibit 1: 

(1) At least 415 functioning CoC 

communities will have a functional 

Homeless Management Information 

System (HMIS) by Fiscal Year 2008. 

(2) The percentage of formerly 

homeless individuals who remain 

housed in HUD permanent housing 

projects for at least 6 months will be at 

least 71.5 percent. 

(3) The percentage of homeless 

persons who have moved from HUD 

transitional housing into permanent 

housing will be at least 63.5 percent. 

(4) The employment rate of persons 

exiting HUD homeless assistance 

projects will be at least 19 percent.
