document is to announce the names and addresses of the award winners

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Youth Development Initiative is funded
under the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for 1994 (Pub.
L. 103-124, approved October 28, 1993) (the 1994 Appropriations Act).
The purpose of the Youth Development Initiative is to further the
Department's Operation Safe Home mission that addresses the larger
problem of violence in America's low-income communities. The Youth
Development Initiative will provide young individuals ages 13-25 with
access to comprehensive education and employment opportunities and
supportive services. The grants will be for up to three to five years
in duration, depending upon the activities undertaken, and will involve
youth as active partners, to provide leadership opportunities and
improve the capacity for long-term training and services for young
residents. The Youth FIC grants will be targeted to assist youth in
gaining access to education, employment, and supportive services. HUD
expects that this funding will demonstrate the importance of
comprehensive supportive services in contributing to the reduction of
unemployment among our youth and crime and violence in public housing
communities. Recipients were chosen in a competition under selection
criteria announced in a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published
in the Federal Register on May 13, 1994 (59 FR 25262).
An amendment to the May 13, 1994 Youth FIC NOFA (59 FR 25262) was
published on July 18, 1994 (59 FR 36446). In the amendment NOFA on page
36447, second column, ``2.'' application procedures were revised to
increase the number of points available in the ranking factors for the
FY 1994 Youth Development Initiative under the Family Investment
Centers Program from ``(150 points)'' to a ``(Maximum 170 points)''.
Accordingly, based on unanticipated delays in publication of the
amendment, the Department recognized that the revised selection
criteria proposed would not provide applicants with 30 days to respond
to the revised application procedure prior to the deadline for
submission of applications. Therefore, to meet Reform Act requirements,
the Department decided not to use the ranking factors points indicated
in the amendment NOFA or extend the application submission deadline.
In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235,
approved December 15, 1989) the Department is publishing the names and
addresses of the Public Housing agencies which received funding under
this NOFA, and the amount awarded to each. This information is provided
in Appendix A to this document.
Dated: October 12, 1995.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
