24 CFR Part 583
[Docket No. FR-3379-C-02]
RIN A506-AB45
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development; Supportive Housing Program; Technical Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Technical correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects the Department's regulations for the
Supportive Housing Program. The definitions for the terms ``Supportive
housing'' and ``Supportive services'' were incorrectly codified in the
1995 edition of the Code of Federal Regulations. This document will
correct those definitions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 18, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean Whaley, Program Development
Division, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, Room 7260, 451 7th Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-2140. (This is not a toll-
free number.) Hearing- or speech-impaired persons may access this
number via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-
800-877-8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations in 24 CFR part 583 implement
the Department's Supportive Housing Program, which provides assistance
for housing and supportive services for homeless persons, as authorized
by section 1403 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992
(Pub. L. 102-550, approved
[[Page 17246]]
October 28, 1992). The Department established these regulations through
an interim rule published on March 15, 1993 (58 FR 13870). This interim
rule, in Sec. 583.5, provided definitions for the terms ``Supportive
housing'' and ``Supportive services''.
In a final rule published on July 19, 1994 (59 FR 36886), the
Department revised the introductory text for the definition of
``Supportive services''. However, this revision was incorrectly
codified in the 1995 edition of the Department's regulations in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The revision was reflected in the
definition for ``Supportive housing'', rather than in the definition
for ``Supportive services'' as intended. Therefore, this document
corrects Sec. 583.5 so that it accurately reflects the definitions of
``Supportive housing'' and ``Supportive services'' as established in
the May 15, 1993 interim rule, and as revised in the July 19, 1994
final rule.
The effective date of this technical correction, August 18, 1994,
reflects the effective date of the July 19, 1994 final rule. The July
19, 1994 rule was the last revision of Sec. 583.5 prior to the 1995
codification.
