[Docket No. FR-3839-N-02]
Congregate Housing Services Program: Cancellation of Notice of
Funding Availability for the Department of Housing and Urban
Development's Competition; Fiscal Year 1995
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing
Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of Cancellation of the Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) for HUD's competition for the Congregate Housing Services
Program (CHSP), Fiscal Year (FY) 1995.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 10, 1995, at 60 FR 25092, HUD issued a NOFA of
$38,480,150 for FY 1995 for the CHSP.
On July 27, 1995, the President approved the ``Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations for Additional Disaster Assistance, for
Anti-terrorism Initiatives, for Assistance in the Recovery from the
Tragedy that Occurred at Oklahoma City, and Rescissions Act, 1995''
(Pub. L. 104-19, 109 Stat. 194) (the Rescissions Act). The Rescissions
Act rescinded $37 million from the CHSP--approximately $23 million of
the funds appropriated in FY 1995 and approximately $14 million in
unobligated funds for prior years.
After rescission, HUD has approximately $1.8 million available to
fund CHSP grants. HUD received 33 applications for CHSP grants, but HUD
has decided not to fund any additional CHSP grants for FY 1995 because
of the limited amount of funds available. Instead, HUD has decided to
use the $1.8 million to fund further the 52 CHSP grantees already
funded under the Congregate Services Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 8001) for
an additional four and one-half (4\1/2\) months each.1 Under the
Department of Veteran Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995 (Pub.L. 103-327), HUD is
authorized to use up to $6,267,000 for entities operating the CHSP in
accordance with the 1978 Act, as amended. Prior to the rescission of
CHSP funds, HUD made $142,592 in FY 1995 funds available for the 1978
Act grantees.
\1\Based upon the experience of grantees funded under the 1978
Act, Congress created a revised CHSP under the National Affordable
Housing Act (Pub.L. 101-625) (NAHA), to be administrated in
coordination with the RHCDS. Under NAHA, eligible housing projects
that were receiving assistance under the 1978 Act were to continue
to receive priority for assistance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, HUD is cancelling the FY 1995 CHSP NOFA with respect to
the funds allocated for HUD's competition. Applications received by
RHCDS will continue to be processed in accordance with the May 10, 1995
NOFA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information concerning this NOFA
cancellation, applicants with HUD projects may contact the appropriate
Asset Management, Public and/or Indian Housing Management Specialist in
the HUD State/Area office which has jurisdiction for the projects.
Applicants for HUD projects should not contact HUD Headquarters;
such calls will be referred to the appropriate HUD State/Area office.
Accordingly, HUD's competition for the Congregate Housing Services
Program that was offered under the NOFA published on May 10, 1995, at
60 FR 25092, is cancelled.
Dated: September 7, 1995.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
