[Docket No. FR-4415-N-02]
Notice of Funding Availability for Mainstream Housing
Opportunities for Persons With Disabilities (Mainstream Program) Fiscal
Year 1999: Extension of Application Deadline
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability (NOFA): extension of application
deadline.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 8, 1999, HUD published a NOFA that announced Fiscal
Year 1999 funding of approximately $48.5 million in five-year budget
authority for approximately 1,600 rental vouchers to enable persons
with disabilities (elderly and non-elderly) to rent affordable private
housing. The March 8, 1999 NOFA set an application deadline of May 7,
1999. This notice extends the deadline to June 30, 1999.
APPLICATION DUE DATE: June 30, 1999.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The application deadline for submission is
being extended because of changes made this year from previous NOFAs
for the Mainstream program. New for Fiscal Year 1999 is HUD's opening
of the Mainstream Program to the receipt of applications from non-
profit disability organizations that provide services to disabled
families. Also new is HUD's encouragement to PHAs and non-profit
disability organizations to view each other as a possible contract
administrator, or to be otherwise involved in the administration of the
Section 8 vouchers that either party might receive under this NOFA.
If you are interested in applying for funding under the Mainstream
Program, please read the NOFA published on March 8, 1999, at 64 FR
11301, which will provide you with detailed information regarding the
submission of an application, Section 8 program requirements, the
application selection process to be used by HUD in selecting
applications for funding, and other valuable information relative to a
PHA's or non-profit disability organization's application submission
and participation in the Mainstream Program.
