II. Authority, Purpose, and Substantive Description
The Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program was first established in
section 101(g) of Public Law 99-500 (approved October 18, 1986), making
appropriations for fiscal year (FY) 1987, as provided in H.R. 5313. The
program was reauthorized with amendments in the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act, as amended (Pub. L. 100-77; 42 U.S.C. 11371-
11378) (McKinney Act). Section 832(f) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act (Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990)
(NAHA) provided for the explicit eligibility of Indian tribes for ESG
program assistance. Regulations governing the ESG program are in 24 CFR
part 576, as amended by the final rule for the Emergency Shelter Grant
program published in the Federal Register on October 2, 1996 (61 FR
51546).
Approximately $1,265,000 is available for the Indian Emergency
Shelter Grants (ESG) program as authorized by subtitle B, title IV of
the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. The preamble of the
proposed rule on Emergency Shelter Grants Program; Set-Aside Allocation
for Indian Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages, published in the Federal
Register on April 5, 1993 (58 FR 17764), provides informative details
on the method for allocating these funds.
Assistance provided to Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages
under this notice of funding availability (NOFA) will be used to help
improve the quality of existing emergency shelters for the homeless,
make available additional emergency shelters, meet the costs of
operating emergency shelters and of providing essential social services
to homeless individuals, and help prevent homelessness. This ESG set-
aside allocation will increase the availability and expedite receipt of
program funds to Native American communities.
Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community Development
HUD is interested in promoting comprehensive, coordinated
approaches to housing and community development. Economic development,
community development, public housing revitalization, homeownership,
assisted housing for special needs populations, supportive services,
and welfare-to-work initiatives can work better if linked at the local
level. Toward this end, HUD has in recent years developed the
Consolidated Planning process designed to help communities undertake
such approaches.
In this spirit, it may be helpful for applicants under this NOFA to
be aware of other related HUD NOFAs that have recently been published
or are expected to be published in the near future. By reviewing these
NOFAs with respect to their program purposes and the eligibility of
applicants and activities, applicants may be able to relate the
activities proposed for funding under this NOFA to the recent and
upcoming NOFAs and to the community's Consolidated Plan. While tribes
and Indian housing authorities are not required to execute a
Consolidated Plan, comprehensive planning by tribes is encouraged.
Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, HUD is publishing the
following related NOFAs: the NOFA for Block Grant Program for Indian
Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages, and the NOFA for Indian Applicants
under the HOME program. HUD expects to publish within the next few
weeks the NOFA for Indian Housing Development.
To foster comprehensive, coordinated approaches by communities, HUD
intends for the remainder of FY 1997 to continue to alert applicants to
upcoming and recent NOFAs as each NOFA is published. In addition, a
complete schedule of NOFAs to be published during the fiscal year and
those already published appears under the HUD Homepage on the Internet,
which can be accessed at http://www.hud.gov/nofas.html. HUD may
consider additional steps on NOFA coordination for FY 1998.
For help in obtaining a copy of your community's Consolidated Plan,
please contact the community development office of your municipal
government.

III. Application Process
A. Allocation Amounts
This NOFA announces the availability of approximately $1,265,000 in
funding for FY 1997 to fund competitive grants to Indian tribes for
emergency shelter grants. Set-aside allocations of the total amount to
each area Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) are detailed in the
following chart:
Allocation of ESG Set-Aside for Indian Tribes by HUD Area ONAPs for FY
1997
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern/Woodlands.......................................... $211,255
Southern Plains............................................ 249,837
Northern Plains............................................ 239,338
Southwest.................................................. 337,755
Northwest.................................................. 108,790
Alaska..................................................... 118,025
------------
Total:............................................... 1,265,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HUD reserves the right to negotiate reductions in the amounts
requested by applicants based on the overall demand for the funds. HUD
further reserves the right to reallocate these amounts as provided in
section III.F, Ranking and Selection, of this NOFA. Each Indian tribe
must spend all of the grant amounts it is awarded within 24 months of
the date of the grant award by HUD. Any emergency shelter grant amounts
that are not spent within this time period may be recaptured and added
to the following fiscal year's ESG set-aside for Indian tribes.
B. Eligibility and Threshold Requirements
(1) Eligible applicants. Eligible applicants are any Indian Tribe,
band, group, or nation, including Alaskan Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos,
and any Alaskan native village of the United States that is considered
an eligible recipient under title I of the Indian Self-Determination
and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450), or that had been an
eligible recipient under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of
1972 (31 U.S.C. 1221). Eligible recipients under the State and Local
Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 are those that have been determined
eligible by the Department of the Treasury, Office of Revenue Sharing.
Tribal organizations that are eligible under title I of the Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act may apply on behalf of
any Indian Tribe, band, group, nation, or Alaskan native village
eligible under that act for funds under this NOFA when one or more of
these entities have authorized the Tribal organization to do so through
concurring resolutions. Such resolutions must accompany the application
for funding. Eligible Tribal organizations under title I of the Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act will be determined by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Only eligible applicants shall receive grants. However, eligible
applicants may contract or otherwise agree with noneligible entities
such as States, cities, counties, or other organizations to assist in
the preparation of applications and to help implement assisted
activities. For instance, private nonprofit organizations are not
eligible to apply directly to HUD for a grant, but may receive funding
from a grantee if the grantee determines that the nonprofit has the
financial and organizational capacity to carry out the proposed
activities.
(2) Thresholds. The selection process for the Indian tribe set-
aside program includes a preliminary threshold review. The applicant
must clearly demonstrate and HUD will review each application to
determine whether:
(a) The application is adequate in form, time, and completeness;
(b) The applicant is eligible; and
(c) The proposed activities and persons to be served are eligible
for assistance under the program.
(d) As it relates to new construction, all proposed buildings are
in compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The applicant can show this
either by having an architect certify to the fact or provide design
plans for review by HUD's Office of Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity.
C. Obtaining Applications
Application packages are available from the HUD area Offices of
Native American Programs listed in Appendix 1 to this NOFA. They are
also available on the World Wide Web through HUD's Home Page at http://
www.hud.gov/indemerg.html.
D. Submitting Applications
The ONAP serving the area in which the applicant's project is
located must receive an original application and one copy no later than
3 p.m. local time (i.e., the time in the office to which the
application is submitted) on the deadline date of May 23, 1997.
Applications transmitted by FAX will not be accepted. A determination
that an application was received on time will be made solely on receipt
of the original application at the appropriate Office of Native
American Programs serving the applicant's project.
The deadline is firm as to date and hour. In the interest of
fairness to all competing applicants, HUD will treat any application
that is received after the deadline as ineligible for consideration.
Applicants should take this practice into account and make early
submission of their materials to avoid any risk of ineligibility
brought about by unanticipated delays or other delivery-related
problems.
E. Rating Criteria
Applications that fulfill each of the threshold review requirements
described in section III.B, Eligibility and Threshold Requirements,
will be rated based on the following criteria, for a maximum score of
105 points:
(1) Applicant capacity (30 points). HUD will award up to 30 points
to an applicant that demonstrates the ability to carry out activities
under its proposed program within a reasonable time, and in a
successful manner, after execution of the grant agreement by HUD. The
applicant's description of its previous experience, such as whether it
has received a grant under this program, how many grants it has
received, and whether the grants have been closed out successfully,
will weigh heavily in the scoring. Documented evidence of poor or slow
performance in the ESG program will enter strongly into that
determination. The applicants that rate highest on this criterion will
show substantial experience as an organization and/or staff in past
endeavors that are directly related to the proposed project.
(2) Need (20 points). HUD will award up to 20 points to an
applicant that demonstrates the existence of an unmet need for the
proposed project in the area to be served. The applicants that rate
highest on this criterion will: (a) clearly define the unmet housing
and essential services needs of the homeless population proposed to be
served in the area to be served by the project, (b) demonstrate in-
depth knowledge of the population to be served and its needs, and (c)
set forth an outreach strategy that assures that the intended
population will be served. In reviewing applications under this
criterion, HUD will consider demonstrated evidence of need such as the
following: (1) The existence and length of the waiting list from the
Indian Housing Authority, or other documentation regarding housing
waiting lists (e.g., for the Indian HOME Program or the Bureau of
Indian Affairs Housing Improvement Program), and how long a homeless
individual could expect to remain on such a waiting list; (2) Data on
the degree of housing overcrowding; (3) A housing survey
[[Page 17972]]
conducted by the Tribe; and (4) Documentation for type of assistance
needed (e.g., the use of police reports or other documentation of
domestic violence abuse).
(3) Service to homeless population (20 points). HUD will award up
to 20 points to an applicant that proposes to serve that part of the
Indian homeless population that is most difficult to reach and serve,
i.e., those persons having a primary nighttime residence that is a
public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as,
sleeping accommodations for human beings. In urban areas, this is
usually referred to as living ``on the street.'' To the extent that
Indians living on reservations live in such situations (e.g., sleeping
in cars, abandoned structures, out in the open), they meet the
definition of living in conditions similar to living on the street.
In reviewing applications under this criterion, HUD will consider
the extent to which the application identifies the hard-to-reach Indian
homeless population and describes why this population is difficult to
reach and serve, e.g., in terms of the population's geographic
location, specific problems, or willingness to enter into the program.
HUD will focus upon proposed outreach and intake plans, and especially
the degree to which such plans would maximize the likelihood that
homeless persons would be served by the proposed project. The outreach
strategy/intake procedures to seek out and evaluate the needs of the
population to be served should be clearly described in the application.
(4) Appropriateness of essential services (30 points). HUD will
award up to 30 points to an applicant that proposes essential services
that: (a) are appropriate to the unmet needs of the population proposed
to be served, as those needs are described in the application in
accordance with criterion 2 (Need); (b) are used or coordinated with
existing sources of supportive services and networks of support in the
community; and (c) to the degree possible, help to move residents to
longer-term housing situations. Applicants should describe what
services are available and how they will make those services accessible
to the people they serve. In addition, HUD will evaluate the means by
which the people to be served will be assisted in moving to permanent
housing that is appropriate and affordable. Applicants should describe
what resources are available to assist the population they serve to
find permanent housing.
(5) Place Based Criterion (5 bonus points). HUD will award between
one and five points for projects for which it has been demonstrated
that coordination with programs designed and implemented through other
tribal or regional governmental entities or in cooperation with
nonprofit groups has reduced the cost of services, maximized effective
use of grant funds, and/or addressed a broad range of community based
assistance programs. To be eligible for these points, the applicant
must provide in its application a narrative that describes its efforts
and success in coordinating community based programs, and documentation
that supports the cooperation and coordination of resources.
F. Ranking and Selection
Applications from Indian tribes within the area served by the
applicable HUD Office of Native American Programs will be assigned a
rating score and placed in ranked order, based upon the rating criteria
listed in section III.E of this NOFA. Only those applications receiving
at least 50 total points will be given funding consideration. In the
final stage of the selection process, qualified applicants will be
selected for funding in accordance with their ranked order within each
area ONAP, to the extent that funds are available within that area
ONAP's jurisdiction.
In the event of a tie between applicants, the applicant with the
highest total points for rating criterion (2), Need, in section III.E
of this NOFA, will be selected. In the event of a procedural error
that, when corrected, would warrant selection of an otherwise eligible
applicant under this NOFA, HUD may select that applicant when
sufficient funds become available.
Depending on the availability of funds, HUD may fund qualified
applications in rank order regardless of location.
IV. Checklist for Application Submission Requirements
A checklist of submission requirements is provided in Appendix 2 to
this NOFA, to assist the applicant in preparing a complete application.
V. Corrections to Deficient Applications
HUD will notify the applicant if there are any curable technical
deficiencies in the application. Curable technical deficiencies relate
to minimum eligibility requirements (such as certifications and
signatures) that are necessary for funding approval but that do not
relate to the quality of the applicant's program proposal under the
selection criteria. The applicant must submit corrections in accordance
with the information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the
date of the HUD notification.
In accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, HUD
may contact an applicant to seek clarification of an item in an
applicant's application, or to request additional or missing
information. The clarification or the request for additional or missing
information shall not relate to items that would improve the
substantive quality of the application pertinent to the funding
decision.
VI. Findings and Certifications
A. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) have been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and assigned OMB control number
2577-0205. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless the
collection displays a valid control number.
B. Environmental Impact
This NOFA provides funding under, and does not alter the
environmental requirements of, regulations in 24 CFR part 576, which
have been previously published in the Federal Register. Accordingly,
under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(5), this NOFA is categorically excluded from
environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321). For individual grants, the grantee must comply
with the regulations in part 576, including the environmental review
procedures in 24 CFR 576.57(e).
C. Federalism Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies
contained in this NOFA will not have substantial direct effects on
States or their political subdivisions, or the relationship between the
Federal Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. As a result,
this NOFA is not subject to review under the Order. This NOFA announces
the availability of funds set aside for Indian tribes for emergency
shelter activities and invites applications from eligible applicants.
D. Family Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official for Executive Order
12606, The Family, has determined that
[[Page 17973]]
this NOFA, to the extent the funds provided under it are directed to
families, has the potential for a beneficial impact on family
formation, maintenance, and general well-being. Since any impact on
families is beneficial, no further review is considered necessary.
E. Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons
All applicants are herein notified that the provisions of section 3
of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended (Pub. L.
102-550; 12 U.S.C. 1701u), and the regulations in 24 CFR part 135 are
applicable to funding awards made under this NOFA. One of the purposes
of the assistance is to give, to the greatest extent feasible and
consistent with existing Federal, State, and local laws and
regulations, job training, employment, contracting, and other economic
opportunities to section 3 residents and section 3 business concerns.
Tribes that receive HUD assistance described in this NOFA shall comply
with the procedures and requirements of this part to the maximum extent
consistent with, but not in derogation of, compliance with section 7(b)
of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25
U.S.C. 450e(b)).
F. Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act: Documentation and Public Access
Requirements; Applicant/Recipient Disclosures
Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235; 42 U.S.C. 3545) (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:
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 in 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.
Disclosures
HUD will make available to the public for 5 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
3 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 in 24 CFR part 15.
G. Section 103 of the HUD Reform Act
Section 103 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235; 42 U.S.C. 3537a), and HUD's
regulations implementing section 103, codified at subpart B of 24 CFR
part 4, apply to this funding competition. These requirements 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 restrained by these requirements
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 section 103 and subpart
B of 24 CFR part 4.
Applicants or employees who have ethics related questions should
contact the HUD Ethics Law Division at (202) 708-3815. (This is not a
toll-free number.)
H. 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), which prohibits recipients of Federal contracts,
grants, or loans from using appropriated funds for lobbying the
executive or legislative branches of the Federal Government in
connection with a specific contract, grant, or loan. Applicants are
required to certify, using the certification found at Appendix A to 24
CFR part 87, that they will not, and have not, used appropriated funds
for any prohibited lobbying activities. In addition, applicants must
disclose, using Standard Form LLL, ``Disclosure of Lobbying
Activities,'' any funds, other than Federally appropriated funds, that
will be or have been used to influence Federal employees, members of
Congress, and congressional staff regarding specific grants or
contracts.
