    II. Amount Allocated
    
        This NOFA makes available up to $5,000,000 in FY 1999 funding from 
    the $55,000,000 earmark in the Community Development Block Grants Fund 
    account and is from the amount appropriated for public and assisted 
    housing self-sufficiency programs, Departments of Veterans Affairs and 
    Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations 
    Act, 1999 (Pub. L. 105-276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998).
        Alternative Funding for Service Coordinators. When this funding is 
    exhausted, owners may request processing under Housing's Management 
    Agent Handbook 4381.5, REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, Chapter 8. This Handbook 
    provides procedures for requesting funding for a coordinator using 
    residual receipts, the budget-based rent increase process, contract 
    rents adjusted by the Annual Adjustment Factor (AAF) or the Project 
    Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC). Section 8 approvals must be 
    consistent with current policy.
    
    III. Program Description; Eligible and Ineligible Applicants, 
    Developments, and Activities
    
        (A) Program Description. The Service Coordinator Program provides 
    funding for the employment and support of service coordinators in 
    insured and assisted housing developments that are designed for the 
    elderly and persons with disabilities and continue to operate as such. 
    Service coordinators help residents obtain supportive services from the 
    community that are needed to enable independent living and aging in 
    place.
        A service coordinator is a social service staff person hired or 
    contracted by the development's owner or management company. The 
    coordinator is responsible for assuring that elderly residents, 
    especially those who are frail or at risk, and those non-elderly 
    residents with disabilities are linked to the specific supportive 
    services they need to continue living independently in that 
    development. The service coordinator, however, may not require any 
    elderly individual or person with a disability to accept the supportive 
    services.
        You may want to review the Management Agent Handbook 4381.5 
    REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, Chapter 8 for further guidance on service 
    coordinators.
        This Handbook and past Service Coordinator program Notices are 
    accessible through HUDCLIPS on HUD's web site. The URL for the HUDCLIPS

        Changes to This Year's Program.
    
    --There is no minimum unit number for eligible developments. In 
    proposing a Service Coordinator program at a small development, 
    however, you must be careful to conform to the hiring guidelines 
    provided in the application kit.
    --Funding is allowed to augment current Service Coordinator programs 
    and to continue programs in cases where current or previous funding 
    sources are no longer available. Please refer to Section III.D and 
    III.F, below.
    
    (B) Eligible Applicants
    
        (1) Only owners of eligible developments listed in paragraph D.1 
    below may apply for funding through this NOFA.
        (2) To be eligible, owners must meet the criteria listed below for 
    all HUD insured and assisted developments they own:
        (a) Have no outstanding contract violations of a contractual or 
    regulatory nature.
        (b) You, the applicant must comply with all fair housing and civil 
    rights laws, statutes, regulations, and executive orders as enumerated 
    in 24 CFR 5.105(a). If you, the applicant (a) have been charged with a 
    systemic violation of the Fair Housing Act by the Secretary alleging 
    ongoing discrimination; (b) are the defendant in a Fair Housing Act 
    lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice alleging an ongoing pattern 
    or practice of discrimination; or (c) have received a letter of 
    noncompliance findings under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 
    section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or section 109 of the 
    Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, your application will 
    not be evaluated under this NOFA if, prior to the application deadline, 
    the charge, lawsuit, or letter of findings has not been resolved to the 
    satisfaction of the Department. HUD's decision regarding whether a 
    charge, lawsuit, or a letter of findings has been satisfactorily 
    resolved will be based upon whether appropriate actions have been taken 
    necessary to address allegations of ongoing discrimination in the 
    policies or practices involved in the charge, lawsuit, or letter of 
    findings.
        (3) If your eligibility status changes during the course of the 
    grant term, making you ineligible to receive a grant (e.g. due to 
    prepayment of mortgage, sale of property, or opting out of a Section 8 
    Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract), HUD has the right to 
    terminate your grant.
    
    (C) Ineligible Applicants
    
        Property management companies, area agencies on aging, and other 
    like organizations are not eligible applicants for Service Coordinator 
    funds. Such agents may prepare applications and sign application 
    documents if they provide written authorization from the owner 
    corporation as part of the application. In such cases, the owner 
    corporation must be indicated on all forms and documents as the funding 
    recipient.
    
    (D) Eligible Developments
    
        (1) Are Section 202 and 202/8, existing Section 8 project-based and 
    moderate rehabilitation developments (including Rural Housing Service 
    (RHS) Section 515/8), and Section 221(d)(3) below-market interest rate 
    and 236 developments that are insured or assisted.
        (2) Have frail or at-risk elderly residents and/or non-elderly 
    residents with disabilities who together total at least 25 percent of 
    the building's residents.
        (3) Are designed for the elderly or persons with disabilities and 
    are continuing to operate as such. This includes any building within a 
    mixed-use development that was designed for occupancy by elderly 
    persons or persons with disabilities at its inception and continues to 
    operate as such, or consistent with title VI, subtitle D of the Housing 
    and Community Development Act of 1992. If not so designed, a 
    development in which the owner gives preferences in tenant selection 
    (with HUD approval) to eligible elderly persons or persons with 
    disabilities, for all units in that development.
        (4) Are finally closed.
        (5) Are current in mortgage payments or are current under a workout 
    agreement.
        (6) Meet HUD's Uniform Physical Conditions Standards (as published 
    in the September 1, 1998 Federal Register), based on the most recent 
    physical inspection report and responses thereto.
        (7) Are in compliance with their regulatory agreement, HAP 
    Contract, and other outstanding directives.
        (8) Section 202 developments must have a residual receipts account 
    separate from the Repair and Replacement account, or agree to establish 
    this account. This requirement does not apply to Sections 8, 221(d)(3) 
    below-market interest rate, or 236 developments.
        (9) Owners using the AAF rent increase process or who are profit-
    motivated must provide certification that rental and other income from 
    the development are insufficient to pay for a service coordinator.
    
    (E) Ineligible Developments
    
        (1) Developments not designed for the elderly or disabled or those 
    no longer operating as such.
        (2) Section 221(d)(4) developments.
        (3) Section 202/811 developments with a PRAC. Owners of Section 202 
    PRAC developments may obtain funding by requesting an increase in their 
    PRAC payment consistent with Handbook 4381.5 REVISION-2, CHANGE-2, 
    Chapter 8. There is no statutory authority for service coordinators in 
    Section 811 developments.
    
    (F) Eligible Activities
    
        (1) Service Coordinator Program grant funds may be used to pay for 
    the salary, fringe benefits, and related administrative costs for 
    employing a service coordinator. Administrative costs may include, but 
    are not limited to, purchase of furniture, office equipment and 
    supplies, training, quality assurance, travel, and utilities.
        (2) You may use funds to augment a current Service Coordinator 
    program, by increasing the hours of a currently employed Service 
    Coordinator, or hiring an additional Service Coordinator or aide on a 
    part-or full-time basis.
        (3) You may use funds to continue a Service Coordinator program 
    that has previously been funded through other sources. In your 
    application, you must provide evidence that this funding source has 
    already ended or will discontinue within six months following the 
    application deadline date and that no other funding mechanism is 
    available to continue the program. This applies only to funding sources 
    other than the subsidy awards provided by the Department through 
    program Notices beginning in FY 1992. HUD intends to provide one-year 
    extensions to these subsidy awards through a separate funding action.
        (4) You may propose reasonable costs associated with setting up a 
    confidential office space for the Service Coordinator. Such expenses 
    must be one-time only administrative start-up costs. Such costs may 
    involve acquisition, leasing, rehabilitation, or conversion of space. 
    HUD Field Office staff must approve both the proposed costs and 
    activity and must perform an environmental
    
    [[Page 10914]]
    
    assessment on such proposed work prior to grant award.
    
    (G) Ineligible Activities
    
        (1) You may not use funds available through this NOFA to replace 
    currently available funding from other sources for a service 
    coordinator or for some other staff person who performs service 
    coordinator functions.
        (2) Owners with existing service coordinator subsidy awards may not 
    apply for renewal or extension of those programs under this NOFA.
        (3) Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP) grantees may not use 
    these funds to meet statutory program match requirements and may not 
    use these funds to replace current CHSP program funds to continue the 
    employment of a service coordinator.
        (4) The cost of application preparation is not eligible.
        (5) Grant funds cannot be used to increase a project's management 
    fee.
    
    IV. Program Requirements
    
        These requirements apply to all activities funded under this 
    program.
    
    (A) Administrative Costs
    
        Normal annual administrative expenses must not exceed 10 percent of 
    your program's total annual cost, with the exception of first year 
    costs, which may reasonably exceed 10 percent due to start-up expenses. 
    HUD has the right to reduce the proposed costs if they appear 
    unreasonable or inappropriate.
    
    (B) Term of Funded Activities
    
        The grant term is three years. Grants will be renewable subject to 
    the availability of funds.
    
    (C) Subgrants and Subcontracting
    
        You may directly hire a Service Coordinator or you may contract 
    with a qualified third party to provide this service.
    
    (D) Environmental Requirements
    
        It is anticipated that activities under this program are 
    categorically excluded under 24 CFR 50.19(b)(3), (4), (12), or (13). If 
    grant funds will be used to cover the cost of any non-exempt 
    activities, HUD will perform an environmental review to the extent 
    required by 24 CFR part 50, prior to grant award.
    
    (E) Required Certifications, Assurances, and Other Forms
    
        All applications for funding under the Service Coordinator Program 
    must contain the following documents and information:
        (1)(a) FY 1998 applicants' letter to use FY 1998 applications (no 
    other documentation required) or
        (b) Transmittal letter and request, using the designated format.
        (2) (If applicable) Lead agency letter format.
        (3) Evidence of comparable salaries in local area.
        (4) If quality assurance is included in the proposed budget, a 
    justification and explanation of how this work will be performed.
        (5) A bank statement showing the current residual receipts or 
    surplus cash balance in the development's account.
        (6) (If applicable) Evidence that prior funding sources for your 
    development's Service Coordinator program are no longer available.
        (7) Service Coordinator Certifications. This includes 
    certifications that you, the applicant, will comply with the 
    requirements of the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act 
    of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age 
    Discrimination Act of 1975, and that you will affirmatively further 
    fair housing.
        (8)(a) Certification from an Independent Public Accountant or the 
    cognizant government auditor stating that the financial management 
    system employed by the applicant meets proscribed standards for fund 
    control and accountability required by the pertinent Office of 
    Management and Budget (OMB) Circular.
        (b) Owners applying on behalf of developments using the AAF must 
    also provide certification from the auditor that the development's 
    rental or other income is insufficient to pay the costs of employing a 
    Service Coordinator.
        (9) Service Coordinator Applicant Data Input Sheet.
        (10) Applicant checklist.
        (11) Each applicant must also submit signed copies of the following 
    forms, assurances and certifications:
        (a) Standard form (SF) 424, Application for Federal Assistance;
        (b) Standard Form (SF) 424-B, Assurances for Non-construction 
    Programs;
        (c) Drug-Free Workplace Certification (HUD-50070);
        (d) Certification and Disclosure Form Regarding Lobbying Activities 
    (SF-LLL); and
        (e) Applicant/Recipient Disclosure Update Report (HUD-2880).
    
    V. Application Selection Process
    
    (A) General
    
        Service Coordinator Program grant funds will not be awarded through 
    a rating and ranking process. Instead, HUD will hold one national 
    lottery for all approvable applications forwarded from Multifamily HUB 
    or Multifamily Program Centers (a list of these offices is found in the 
    Appendix to this notice).
    
    (B) Threshold Eligibility Review
    
        (1) HUD Multifamily Field Office staff will review applications for 
    completeness and compliance with the eligibility criteria set forth in 
    Section III of this NOFA. Field Office staff will forward application 
    information to Headquarters for entry into the lottery if the 
    application was received by the deadline date, meets all eligibility 
    criteria, proposes reasonable costs for eligible activities, and 
    includes all technical corrections by the designated deadline date.
        (2) ``Reasonable costs'' are further discussed in the application 
    kit, but are generally those that are consistent with salaries and 
    administrative costs of similar programs in the jurisdiction of the HUD 
    Field Office.
    
    (C) The Lottery
    
        HUD staff will use a computer program to randomly select 
    applications. HUD will fully fund as many applications as possible with 
    the given amount of funds. If funds remain after fully funding as many 
    applications as possible, HUD will offer to partially fund the next 
    application chosen in the lottery, in order to use the entire 
    allocation of funds.
    
    VI. Application Submission Requirements
    
    (A) FY 1998 Applicants
    
        If your FY 1998 application was approved by the Field Office but 
    not selected in the FY 1998 lottery and you wish to apply again this 
    year, you may use the same application to apply for FY 1999 funds. You 
    need not submit a new application, if no components of your proposed FY 
    1998 program will change. You must submit a letter to your local Field 
    Office, by the application deadline date, stating that you would like 
    the Field Office to approve your application for FY 1999 funding, that 
    no part of your proposed program will change, and that the development 
    and owner entity continue to meet all eligibility requirements. If this 
    letter is not received by the deadline date, your FY 1998 application 
    will not be considered for funding. The Field staff has the right to 
    reject your FY 1998 application for FY 1999 funding, if recent 
    circumstances cause the application to become ineligible. If you wish 
    to change any component of your proposed FY 1998 program, you must 
    submit a new application.
    
    [[Page 10915]]
    
    (B) Full Application Submission Requirements
    
        (1) Single Applications.
        (a) You may submit one application for one or more developments 
    that your corporation owns.
        (b) You may submit more than one application to a single Field 
    Office, if you wish to increase your chances of selection in the 
    lottery. Each application must propose a stand-alone program and the 
    development(s) must all be located in the same Field Office 
    jurisdiction.
        (c) If you wish to apply on behalf of developments located in 
    different Field Office jurisdictions, you must submit a separate 
    application to each Field Office.
        (2) Joint Applications. You may join with one or more other 
    eligible owners to share a Service Coordinator and submit a joint 
    application. In the past, joint applications have been used by small 
    developments who joined together to hire and share a part or full-time 
    Service Coordinator.
        (3) There is no maximum grant amount. The grant amount you request 
    must be consistent with the staffing guidelines provided in the 
    application kit and your proposed salary must be supported by evidence 
    of comparable salaries in your area.
    
    VII. Corrections to Deficient Applications
    
        After the application due date, HUD may not consider unsolicited 
    information from an applicant. HUD may contact an applicant, however, 
    to clarify an item in the application or to correct technical 
    deficiencies. Applicants should note, however, that HUD may not seek 
    clarification of items or responses that improve the substantive 
    quality of the applicant's response to any eligibility or selection 
    criterion. Examples of curable technical deficiencies include failure 
    to submit proper certifications or failure to submit the application 
    containing an original signature by an authorized official. In each 
    case HUD will notify the applicants by facsimile or by return receipt 
    requested. Applicants must submit clarifications or corrections of 
    technical deficiencies in accordance with the information provided by 
    HUD within 14 calendar days of the date of receipt of the HUD 
    notification. If the deficiency is not corrected within this time 
    period, HUD will reject the application as incomplete.
    
    VIII. Findings and Certifications
    
    (A) Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        The information collection requirements contained in this notice 
    were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under

    3520) and have been assigned OMB control number 2577-0198. An agency 
    may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,

    (C) Executive Order 12612, Federalism
    
        The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) 
    of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the 
    provisions of this NOFA do not have ``federalism implications'' within 
    the meaning of the Order. This notice merely invites applications from 
    assisted housing developments for service coordinator grants. As a 
    result, the notice is not subject to review under the Order.
    
    (D) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities
    
        Applicants for funding under this NOFA are subject to the 
    provisions of section 319 of the Department of Interior and Related 
    Agencies Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the 
    Byrd Amendment) and to the provisions of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 
    1995 (Pub. L. 104-65; approved December 19, 1995).
        The Byrd Amendment, which is implemented in regulations at 24 CFR 
    part 87, prohibits applicants for Federal contracts and grants from 
    using appropriated funds to attempt to influence Federal executive or 
    legislative officers or employees in connection with obtaining such 
    assistance, or with its extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or 
    modification. The Byrd Amendment applies to the funds that are the 
    subject of this NOFA. Therefore, applicants must file a certification 
    stating that they have not made and will not make any prohibited 
    payments and, if any payments or agreement to make payments of 
    nonappropriated funds for these purposes have been made, a form SF-LLL 
    disclosing such payments must be submitted. The certification and the 
    SF-LLL are included in the application.
        The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-65; approved 
    December 19, 1995), which repealed section 112 of the HUD Reform Act, 
    requires all persons and entities who lobby covered executive or 
    legislative branch officials to register with the Secretary of the 
    Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and file reports 
    concerning their lobbying activities.
    
    (E) Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act; Documentation and Public Access 
    Requirements
    
        Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
    Reform Act of 1989 (HUD Reform Act) and the final rule codified at 24 
    CFR part 4, subpart A, published on April 1, 1996 (61 FR 1448), contain 
    a number of provisions that are designed to ensure greater 
    accountability and integrity in the provision of certain types of 
    assistance administered by HUD. On January 14, 1992, HUD published, at 
    57 FR 1942, a notice that also provides information on the 
    implementation of section 102. The documentation, public access, and 
    disclosure requirements of section 102 are applicable to assistance 
    awarded under this NOFA as follows:
        (1) Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure 
    that documentation and other information regarding each application 
    submitted pursuant to this NOFA are sufficient to indicate the basis 
    upon which assistance was provided or denied. This material, including 
    any letters of support, will be made available for public inspection 
    for a five-year period beginning not less than 30 days after the award 
    of the assistance. Material will be made available in accordance with 
    the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing 
    regulations at 24 CFR part 15. In addition, HUD will include the 
    recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its Federal Register 
    notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on a competitive 
    basis.
        (2) Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for five 
    years all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in 
    connection with this NOFA. Update reports (also Form 2880) will be made 
    available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case 
    for a period less than three years. All reports--both applicant 
    disclosures and updates--will be made available in accordance with the 
    Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and HUD's implementing 
    regulations at 24 CFR part 15.

    (F) Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act
    
        HUD's regulations implementing section 103 of the Department of 
    Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3537a), 
    codified in 24 CFR part 4, apply to this funding competition. The 
    regulations continue to apply until the announcement of the selection 
    of successful applicants. HUD employees involved in the review of 
    applications and in the making of funding decisions are limited by 
    regulations from providing advance information to any person (other 
    than an authorized employee of HUD) concerning funding decisions, or 
    from otherwise giving any applicant an unfair competitive advantage. 
    Persons who apply for assistance in this competition should confine 
    their inquiries to the subject areas permitted under 24 CFR part 4.
        Applicants or employees who have ethics-related questions, such as 
    whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons outside 
    the Department, should contact HUD's Ethics Law Division (202) 708-3815 
    (voice), (202) 708-1112 (TTY). (These are not toll-free numbers.) For 
    HUD employees who have specific program questions, the employee should 
    contact the appropriate Field Office Counsel or Headquarters Counsel 
    for the program to which the question pertains.
    
    (G) Environmental Impact
    
        A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment 
    for this rule has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 
    CFR part 50, which implement section 102(2)(C) of the National 
    Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The Finding of No Significant Impact 
    is available for public inspection between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. 
    weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of the General 
    Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 10276, 451 
    Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410.
    
    IX. Authority
    
        Section 808 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing 
    Act (Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990), as amended by 
    sections 671, 674, 676, and 677 of the Housing and Community 
    Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992), 
    provides authority for service coordinators in multifamily assisted 
    housing developments.
    
        Dated: March 2, 1999.

    Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
