DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-4457-FA-01]
Announcement of Funding Awards of Fiscal Year 1999 Supportive
Housing Assistance; Partial Funding
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with HUD's regulations implementing section
102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform
Act of 1989, this notice announces funding decisions made by HUD for a
portion of the funding available for fiscal year 1999 for the
Supportive Housing Program. The notice contains the names of award
recipients and the amounts of the awards.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John D. Garrity, Director, Office of
Special Needs Assistance Programs, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Room 7262, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410,
telephone (202) 708-4300. The TTY number for the hearing impaired is
(202) 708-2565. (These are not toll-free numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Supportive Housing
Program is to promote the development of supportive housing and
supportive services, including innovative approaches to assist homeless
persons in the transition from homelessness and to promote the
provision of supportive housing to homeless persons to enable them to
live as independently as possible. The Supportive Housing Program is
authorized by title IV of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance
Act (42 U.S.C. 11381-11389), and the regulations for this program are
found in 24 CFR part 583.
The regulations for the Supportive Housing Program authorize an
award of renewals on a non-competitive basis (24 CFR 583.235(a)). Until
Federal fiscal year 1997, HUD funding awards under this program were
made on a noncompetitive basis. For Federal fiscal years 1997 and 1998,
awards for renewals as well as new programs were made competitively, in
response to notices of funding availability (NOFA).
For fiscal year 1999, HUD determined that terminating funding to
high priority Supportive Housing Program renewal projects in Continuum
of Care Homeless Assistance programs that were unsuccessful in the FY
1998 Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance competition would unduly
threaten past investments that HUD has made in these projects and
result in unacceptable reductions in services to homeless persons. Two
hundred fifty-six Supportive Housing Program projects scheduled to
complete the term of their grants in 1999 were not funded under the
1998 homelessness assistance competition. These unsuccessful applicants
represented over 30 percent of all of the possible renewals--a
significantly higher percentage than had failed to receive funding in
the previous year.
To address the potential problems caused by not funding high
priority renewals in low scoring Continuums, and to avoid significantly
disrupting the philosophy of the Continuum of Care, HUD has decided to
fund the 65 highest ranked Supportive Housing Program renewal projects
which (1) passed threshold reviews in the FY 1998 competition; (2) were
part of the unsuccessful Continuum of Care programs in the FY 1998
competition; and (3) were ranked within the pro rata share of funding
based on a formula for need, when measured against the need of all
applicants. The noncompetitive funding announced through this notice is
$20,998,934, or approximately two percent of the appropriated fiscal
year 1999 funds for homeless assistance programs. The NOFA for the
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program (of which Supportive
Housing is a part) will be included in HUD's FY 1999 SuperNOFA.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the
Supportive Housing Program is 14.235.
Appendix A to this notice provides the names and addressees of the
award recipients and the amounts of the awards. This information is
provided in accordance with HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 4.7
implementing section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545).
Dated: January 29, 1999.
Cardell Cooper,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
