Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document 
notifies the public of funding awards for Fiscal Year 1996 Public and 
Indian Housing Authority applicants under the Economic Development and 
Supportive Services (EDSS) Program. The purpose of this document is to

the awards to be used to further the Department's commitment to provide 
economic development opportunities and supportive services to assist 
families, the elderly and persons with disabilities that reside in 
Public and Indian Housing to become self-sufficient; to live 
independently or to prevent premature or unnecessary 
institutionalization.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marcia Y. Martin, Office of Community

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 
Appropriation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 104-134, approved April 26, 1996), 
set aside funding for the Economic Development and Supportive Services 
(EDSS) Program from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 
appropriation. The purpose of the program is to provide grants to 
public housing agencies and Indian housing authorities (collectively 
HAs) that are in partnership with non-profit or incorporated for-profit 
agencies to (1) Provide economic development opportunities and 
supportive services to assist residents of public and Indian housing to 
become economically self-sufficient, particularly families with 
children where the head of household would benefit from the receipt of 
supportive services and is working, seeking work, or is preparing for 
work by participating in job-training or educational programs, and (2) 
to provide supportive services to assist the elderly and persons with 
disabilities to live independently or to prevent unnecessary 
institutionalization.
    On August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42356), HUD published a Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) that announced $30.8 million in EDSS funds. A total 
of $53 million was set-aside from the Community Development Block Grant 
(CDBG) appropriation for an economic development and supportive 
services program. Of the $53 million, $8 million was set-aside for the 
Bridges to Work Demonstration Program, $9.2 million was set-aside for 
the Section 8 Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, and $5 million for 
Housing's Neighborhood Network and Resident Initiatives programs. These 
set-asides were announced under separate notices. The EDSS NOFA was 
amended three times as follows:
     September 26, 1996 (61 FR 50501). Revised the application 
kit availability and extended the application due date to October 29, 
1996. In addition, the Department announced the OMB control number 
issued for the information collection requirements.
     October 22, 1996 (61 FR 54813). Extended to November 12, 
1996, the application due date for applicants submitting applications 
to HUD's Puerto Rico Office due to Hurricane Hortense which caused 
severe flooding on the Island of Puerto Rico resulting in travel 
problems, electrical outages and in the closing of HUD's Puerto Rico 
Office.
     February 18, 1997 (62 FR 7249). Advised of the procedure 
that the Department will use to determine how public housing agency and 
Indian housing authority applications will be selected for funding in 
the event of tie scores. The language was inadvertently omitted from 
the August 14, 1996 NOFA.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the Economic 
Development and Supportive Services Program is 14.863.
    Accordingly, this announcement further amends the NOFA for Economic 
Development and Supportive Services as published on August 16, 1996, 
(61 FR 423560) and subsequent amendments.

in accordance with ranking factors set forth in the NOFA published

    In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(c) of the Department of

U.S.C. 3545) the Department is publishing details regarding recipients
