SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under
section 3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), and assigned OMB Control Number 2502-0267.
I. Purpose and Substantive Description
A. Authority
Section 801 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing
Act (NAHA) (Pub. L. 101-625, approved November 28, 1990), amended
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 1701q). Section 202
was also amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992
(HCD Act of 1992) (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992). The
Secretary is authorized to provide assistance to private nonprofit
organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives to expand the supply
of supportive housing for the elderly. HUD provides the assistance as
capital advances and contracts for project rental assistance in
accordance with 24 CFR part 889. This assistance may be used to finance
the construction or rehabilitation of a structure, or acquisition of a
structure from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), to be used as
supportive housing for the elderly in accordance with part 889.
For supportive housing for the elderly, the Departments of Veterans
Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies
Appropriations Act, 1995 (Pub. L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994)
(Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations Act) provides $1,279,000,000 for
capital advances, including amendments to capital advance contracts
(not procurement contracts), for housing for the elderly as authorized
by section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, (as amended by the NAHA and
HCD Act of 1992), and for project rental assistance, and amendments to
contracts for project rental assistance, for supportive housing for the
elderly under section 202(c)(2) of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended.
The Fiscal Year 1995 Appropriations Act further provides that
$22,000,000 of the above total shall be for service coordinators
pursuant to section 202(q) of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended, and
subtitle E of title VI of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992, other than section 676 of such Act and section 8(d)(2)(F)(i) of
the Act. Any unreserved balances provided in prior years for such
purposes are to be merged with amounts provided in the Fiscal Year 1995
Appropriations Act.
In accordance with an agreement between HUD and the Administration
for Rural Housing and Economic Development Services (ARHEDS) (formerly
the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), which facilitates the
coordination between the two agencies in administering their respective
rental assistance programs, HUD is required to notify ARHEDS of
applications for housing assistance it receives. This notification
gives ARHEDS the opportunity to comment if it has concerns about the
demand for additional assisted housing and possible harm to existing
projects in the same housing market area. HUD will consider the ARHEDS
comments in its review and project selection process.
B. Allocation Amounts
In accordance with 24 CFR part 791, the Assistant Secretary will
allocate the amounts available for capital advances for supportive
housing for the elderly. HUD reserves project rental assistance funds
sufficient for 20-year project rental assistance contracts in support
of the units selected for capital advances, consistent with current
operating cost standards.
The allocation formula for Section 202 funds consists of a measure
of the number of one- and two-person elderly renter households with
incomes at or below the very low income limit (50 percent of area
median family income, as determined by HUD, with an adjustment for
household size) that have housing deficiencies.
Since the allocations to some HUD Offices are not sufficient to
develop feasible projects in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
areas, the funds may be allocated to only one of the geographical
areas. HUD Offices that have an allocation for only one area may accept
applications for the other area. However, these applications can only
be funded by that HUD Office after all other approvable applications
submitted in response to the advertised allocation area have been
funded by that HUD Office.
Applicants for capital advances in the area served by the Wisconsin
State HUD Office are hereby put on notice that the capital advance
amount available to the Wisconsin Office, as stated in this NOFA, may
be reduced or eliminated due to ongoing legal proceedings between HUD
and the City of [[Page 27613]] Milwaukee, and that the determination of
whether to reduce or eliminate those funds is entirely within the
discretion of HUD. If HUD takes such action or actions, it will publish
a notice to that effect in the Federal Register.
Based on the allocation formula, HUD has allocated the available
capital advance funds as shown on the following chart:

C. Eligibility
Private, nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer
cooperatives are the only eligible applicants under this program.
Neither a public body nor an instrumentality of a public body is
eligible to participate in the program. No organization shall
participate as Sponsor or Co-sponsor in the filing of application(s)
for a capital advance in a single geographical region in this fiscal
year in excess of that necessary to finance the construction,
rehabilitation, or acquisition (acquisition permitted only with RTC
properties) of 300 units of housing and related facilities for the
elderly. This limit shall apply to organizations that participate as
Co-sponsors regardless of whether the Co-sponsors are affiliated or
nonaffiliated entities. In addition, the national limit for any one
applicant is 10 percent of the total units allocated in all HUD
Offices. Affiliated entities that submit separate applications shall be
deemed to be a single entity for the purposes of these limits. No
single application may propose more than the number of units allocated
to a HUD Office or 125 units, whichever is less. Reservations for
projects will not be approved for less than 5 units.
D. Initial Screening, Technical Processing, and Selection Criteria
1. Initial Screening
HUD will review applications for Section 202 capital advances that
are received by HUD at the appropriate address by 4 p.m. local time on
July 24, 1995, to determine if all parts of the application are
included. HUD will not review the content of the application as part of
initial screening. HUD will send deficiency letters, by certified mail,
informing Sponsors of any missing parts of the application. Sponsors
must correct such deficiencies within 14 calendar days from the date of
the deficiency letter. Any document requested as a result of the
initial screening may be executed or prepared within the deficiency
period, except for Forms HUD-92015-CAs, Articles of Incorporation, IRS
exemption rulings, Forms SF-424, Board Resolution committing the
minimum capital investment, and site control documents (all of these
excepted items must be dated no later than the application deadline
date).
Note: SPONSORS OF PROJECTS IN OKLAHOMA MAY SUBMIT THE
CERTIFICATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AFTER THE
APPLICATION DEADLINE DATE BUT NO LATER THAN AUGUST 25, 1995. If this
is the only deficiency discovered during initial screening, affected
Sponsors will not receive a deficiency letter.
2. Technical Processing
All applications will be placed in technical processing upon
receipt of the response to the deficiency letter or at the end of the
14-day period. These applications will undergo a complete analysis. If
a reviewer finds that clarification is needed to complete the review,
or an exhibit is missing that was not requested after initial
screening, the reviewer shall immediately advise the Multifamily
Housing Representative, who will: (a) Request, by telephone, that the
Sponsor submit the information within five (5) working days; and (b)
follow up by certified letter. Communications must be attached to the
technical review and findings memorandum. As part of this analysis, HUD
will conduct its environmental review in accordance with 24 CFR part
50.
Examples of reasons for technical processing rejection include an
ineligible Sponsor, ineligible population to be served, lack of legal
capacity, lack of site control, and unacceptable site based upon a site
visit. The Secretary will not reject an application based on technical
processing without giving notice of that rejection with all rejection
reasons, and affording the applicant an opportunity to appeal. HUD will
afford an applicant 14 calendar days from the date of HUD's written
notice to appeal a technical rejection to the HUD Office. The HUD
Office must respond within five working days to the Sponsor. The HUD
Office shall make a determination on an appeal prior to making its
selection recommendations. All applications will be either rated or
technically rejected at the end of technical processing.
Technical processing will also assure that the Sponsor has complied
with the [[Page 27615]] requirements in the civil rights certification
(24 CFR 890.265(b)(9)(i)). There must not have been an adjudication of
a civil rights violation in a civil action brought against the Sponsor
by a private individual, unless the Sponsor is operating in compliance
with a court order, or implementing a HUD-approved compliance agreement
designed to correct the areas of noncompliance. There must be no
pending civil rights suits against the Sponsor instituted by the
Department of Justice, and no pending administrative actions for civil
rights violations instituted by HUD (including a charge of
discrimination under the Fair Housing Act). There must be no
outstanding findings of noncompliance with civil rights statutes,
Executive Orders, or regulations, as a result of formal administrative
proceedings, nor any charges issued by the Secretary against the
Sponsor under the Fair Housing Act, unless the Sponsor is operating
under a conciliation or compliance agreement designed to correct the
areas of noncompliance. Moreover, there must not be a deferral of the
processing of applications from the Sponsor imposed by HUD under Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, HUD's implementing regulations (24
CFR 1.8), procedures (HUD Handbook 8040.1), and the Attorney General's
Guidelines (28 CFR 50.3); or under section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations (24 CFR 8.57), and the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Upon completion of technical processing, all acceptable
applications will be rated according to the selection criteria in
Sec. 889.300(d) (also below in section I.D.3. of this NOFA).
Applications, submitted in response to the advertised allocation
(metropolitan and/or nonmetropolitan), which have a total score of 50
points or more will be eligible for selection and will be placed in
rank order. These applications will be selected based on rank order, to
and including the last application that can be funded out of the local
HUD Office's allocation. Local HUD Offices will no longer skip over any
applications in order to select one based on the funds remaining. HUD
Offices that have an allocation for only one area (metropolitan or
nonmetropolitan, due to limited allocations) may fund applications in
rank order from other areas in that Office that did not receive an
allocation. These selections would be made only after funding all
applications eligible in the advertised allocation area, and only for
any remaining funds. Funds remaining after these two processes are
completed will be returned to Headquarters for selecting applications
on a national rank order.
3. Selection Criteria
Applications for Section 202 capital advances that successfully
complete technical processing will be rated using the following
selection criteria:
(a) The Sponsor's ability to develop and operate the proposed
housing on a long-term basis, considering the following (60 points
maximum--55 base points plus 5 bonus points):
(1) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in
providing housing or related services to those proposed to be served by
the project, and the scope of the proposed project (i.e., number of
units, services, relocation costs, development, and operation) in
relationship to the Sponsor's demonstrated development and management
capacity. (30 points);
(2) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in
providing housing or related services to minority persons or families
(8 points);
(3) The scope, extent, and quality of the Sponsor's experience in
providing opportunities for minority- and women-owned business
enterprises participation (5 points); and
(4) The extent of local community support for the project and for
the Sponsor's activities, including previous experience in serving the
area where the project is to be located, and Sponsor's demonstrated
ability to enlist volunteers and raise local funds (12 points);
(5) The Sponsor's involvement of elderly persons, including
minority elderly persons, in the development of the application and its
intent to involve elderly persons, including minority elderly persons,
in the development of the project (5 bonus points);
(b) The need for supportive housing for the elderly in the area to
be served and the suitability of the site, considering (25 points
maximum):
(1) The extent of the need for the project in the area based on a
determination by the HUD Office. HUD will make this determination by
considering the Sponsor's evidence of need in the area based on the
guidelines in Sec. 889.270(b)(17), as well as other economic,
demographic, and housing market data available to the HUD Office. The
data could include the availability of existing Federally assisted
housing (HUD and ARHEDS) (e.g., considering availability and vacancy
rates of public housing) for the elderly and current occupancy in such
facilities, Federally assisted housing for the elderly under
construction or for which fund reservations have been issued, and in
accordance with an agreement between HUD and the ARHEDS, comments from
the ARHEDS on the demand for additional assisted housing and the
possible harm to existing projects in the same housing market area (8
points).
(2) The proximity or accessibility of the site to shopping, medical
facilities, transportation, places of worship, recreational facilities,
places of employment, and other necessary services to the intended
occupants; adequacy of utilities and streets; freedom of the site from
adverse environmental conditions; compliance with site and neighborhood
standards (10 points); and
(3) Suitability of the site from the standpoint of promoting a
greater choice of housing opportunities for minority elderly persons/
families (7 points).
(c) Adequacy of the provision of supportive services and of the
proposed facility, considering (20 points maximum):
(1) The extent to which the proposed design will meet the special
physical needs of elderly persons (3 points);
(2) The extent to which the proposed size and unit mix of the
housing will enable the Sponsor to manage and operate the housing
efficiently and ensure that the provision of supportive services will
be accomplished in an economical fashion (4 points);
(3) The extent to which the proposed design of the housing will
accommodate the provision of supportive services that are expected to
be needed, initially and over the useful life of the housing, by the
category or categories of elderly persons the housing is intended to
serve (3 points);
(4) The extent to which the proposed supportive services meet the
identified needs of the residents (5 points); and
(5) The extent to which the Sponsor demonstrated that the
identified supportive services will be provided on a consistent, long-
term basis (5 points); and
(d) The project will be located within the boundaries of a
Federally-designated Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental Empowerment
Zone, Enterprise Community, or Urban Enhanced Enterprise Community (5
bonus points). The maximum number of points an application can earn
without bonus points is 100. An application can earn an additional
bonus points for a maximum total of 125 points.
II. Application Process
All applications for Section 202 capital advances submitted by
eligible Sponsors must be filed with the appropriate HUD Office
receiving an allocation and must meet the [[Page 27616]] requirements
of this NOFA. No application will be accepted after 4 p.m. local time
on July 24, 1995, unless that date and time is extended by a Notice
published in the Federal Register. Applications received after that
date and time will not be accepted, even if postmarked by the deadline
date. Applications submitted by facsimile are not acceptable.
Immediately upon publication of this NOFA, if names have not
already been provided to the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse, HUD
Offices shall notify elderly and minority media, all persons and
organizations on their mailing lists, minority and other organizations
within their jurisdiction involved in housing and community
development, and groups with special interest in housing for elderly
households.
Organizations interested in applying for a section 202 capital
advance should contact the Multifamily Housing Clearinghouse at 1-800-
685-8470 for a copy of the application package, and advise the HUD
Office whether they wish to attend the workshop described below. HUD
encourages minority organizations to participate in this program as
Sponsors. HUD Offices will advise all organizations on their mailing
list of the date, time, and place of workshops at which HUD will
explain the Section 202 program.
HUD strongly recommends that prospective applicants attend the
local HUD Office workshop. Interested persons with disabilities should
contact the HUD Office to assure that any necessary arrangements can be
made to enable their attendance and participation in the workshop.
While strongly urged to do so, if Sponsors cannot attend a workshop,
they can obtain Application Packages from the Multifamily Housing
Clearinghouse (see address and telephone number in the ``Application
Package'' section of this NOFA, above). Contact the appropriate HUD
Office with any questions regarding the submission of applications.
At the workshops, HUD will explain application procedures and
requirements. HUD will also address concerns such as local market
conditions, building codes, historic preservation, floodplain
management, displacement and relocation, zoning, and housing costs.
III. Application Submission Requirements
A. Application
Each application shall include all of the information, materials,
forms, and exhibits listed in section III.B., below (with the exception
of applications submitted by Sponsors selected for a Section 202 fund
reservation within the last three funding cycles), and must be indexed
and tabbed. Previously selected Section 202 Sponsors are not required
to submit the information described in B.2.(a), (b), and (c), below
(Exhibits 2.a., b., and c. of the application), which are the articles
of incorporation, (or other organizational documents), by-laws, and the
IRS tax exemption, respectively. If there has been a change in any of
the eligibility documents since its previous HUD approval, the Sponsor
must submit the updated information in its application. The local HUD
Office will base its determination of the eligibility of a new Sponsor
for a reservation of Section 202 capital advance funds on the
information provided in the application. HUD Offices will verify a
Sponsor's indication of previous HUD approval by checking the project
number and approval status with the appropriate HUD Office.
In addition to this relief of paperwork burden in preparing
applications, applicants will be able to use information and exhibits
previously prepared for prior applications under Section 202, Section
811, or other funding programs. Examples of exhibits that may be
readily adapted or amended to decrease the burden of application
preparation include, among others, those on previous participation in
the Section 202 or Section 811 programs, applicant experience in
provision of housing and services, supportive services plan, community
ties, and experience serving minorities.
B. General Application Requirements
1. Form HUD-92015-CA, Application for Section 202 Supportive
Housing Capital Advance.
2. Evidence of each Sponsor's legal status as a private, nonprofit
organization or nonprofit consumer cooperative, including the
following:
(a) Articles of Incorporation, constitution, or other
organizational documents;
(b) By-laws;
(c) IRS tax exemption ruling (this must be submitted by all
Sponsors, including churches). A consumer cooperative that is tax
exempt under State law, has never been liable for payment of Federal
income taxes, and does not pay patronage dividends may be exempt from
the requirement set out in the previous sentence if it is not eligible
for tax exemption. Under previous funding rounds, the above provision
was also true for nonprofit organizations organized in Puerto Rico and
Guam. HUD has now learned that nonprofits in Puerto Rico and Guam may
apply and be granted IRS section 501(c)(3) tax exemption rulings.
Therefore, to the extent permitted within the application period for
this NOFA, Sponsors should pursue a tax exemption ruling under
501(c)(3). If a Sponsor is unable, after using its best efforts, to
secure such a ruling, it may use the regulatory exemption described in
this paragraph (c), above.
Note: SPONSORS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A SECTION 202 FUND RESERVATION
WITHIN THE LAST THREE FUNDING CYCLES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE
DOCUMENTS DESCRIBED IN (a), (b), and (c), ABOVE. INSTEAD, SPONSORS
MUST SUBMIT THE PROJECT NUMBER OF THE LATEST APPLICATION AND THE HUD
OFFICE TO WHICH IT WAS SUBMITTED. IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY
MODIFICATIONS OR ADDITIONS TO THE SUBJECT DOCUMENTS, INDICATE SUCH,
AND SUBMIT THE NEW MATERIAL.
(d) Resolution of the board, duly certified by an officer, that no
officer or director of the Sponsor or Owner has or will have any
financial interest in any contract with the Owner or in any firm or
corporation that has or will have a contract with the Owner and that
includes a current listing of all duly qualified and sitting officers
and directors by title, and the beginning and ending date of each
person's term.
3. Sponsor's purpose, community ties, and experience, including the
following:
(a) A description of Sponsor's purposes and activities, ties to the
community, and minority support, and how long the Sponsor has been in
existence (include any additional related information);
(b) A description of Sponsor's housing and/or supportive services
experience. The description should include any rental housing projects
and/or medical facilities, sponsored, owned, and operated by the
Sponsor, the Sponsor's past or current involvement in any programs
other than housing that demonstrates the Sponsor's management
capabilities and experience, and the Sponsor's experience in serving
the elderly and/or families and minorities;
(c) A description of Sponsor's experience in contracting with
minority- and women-owned businesses including a summary of the total
amount awarded in each of the two categories for the preceding three
years, and the percentage that amount represents of all contracts
awarded by the Sponsor in the relevant time period;
(d) A certified Board Resolution, acknowledging responsibilities of
sponsorship, long-term support of the project(s), willingness of
Sponsor to [[Page 27617]] assist the Owner to develop, own, manage, and
provide appropriate services in connection with the proposed project,
and that it reflects the will of its membership. Also, evidence, in the
form of a certified Board Resolution, of the Sponsor's willingness to
fund the estimated start-up expenses, the Minimum Capital Investment
(one-half of one percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to
exceed $10,000, if nonaffiliated with a National Sponsor; one-half of
one percent of the HUD-approved capital advance, not to exceed $25,000,
for all other Sponsors; see Sec. 889.250), and the estimated cost of
any amenities or features (and operating costs related thereto) that
would not be covered by the approved capital advance.
(e) Description, if applicable, of the Sponsor's efforts to involve
elderly persons, including minority elderly persons, in the development
of the application, as well as its intent to involve elderly persons in
the development of the project.
4. Project information, including the following:
(a) Evidence of need for supportive housing. Such evidence would
include a description of the category or categories of elderly persons
the housing is intended to serve and evidence demonstrating sustained
effective demand for supportive housing for that population in the
market area to be served, taking into consideration the occupancy and
vacancy conditions in existing Federally assisted housing for the
elderly (HUD and ARHEDS; e.g., public housing); State or local data on
the limitations in activities of daily living among the elderly in the
area; aging in place in existing assisted rentals; trends in
demographic changes in elderly population and households; the numbers
of income eligible elderly households by size, tenure, and housing
condition, the types of supportive services arrangements currently
available in the area and the use of such services as evidenced by data
from local social service agencies or agencies on aging.
(b) Description of the project, including the following:
(1) Narrative description of the building design, including a
description of any special design features and community space, and how
this design will facilitate the delivery of services in an economical
fashion and accommodate the changing needs of the residents over the
next 10-20 years.
(2) Describe whether and how the project will promote energy
efficiency, and, if applicable, innovative construction or
rehabilitation methods or technologies to be used that will promote
efficient construction.
(c) Evidence of site control and permissive zoning.
(1) Evidence that the Sponsor has entered into a legally binding
option agreement to buy or lease the proposed site; or has a copy of
the contract of sale for the site, a deed, long-term leasehold, a
request with all supporting documentation, submitted either prior to or
with the Application for Capital Advance, for a partial release of a
site covered by a mortgage under a HUD program, or other evidence of
legal ownership of the site (including properties to be acquired from
the Resolution Trust Corporation). The option agreement period must
extend through the end of the current fiscal year and contain a renewal
provision so that the option can be renewed for at least an additional
six months. The Sponsor must also identify any restrictive covenants,
including reverter clauses. In the case of a site to be acquired from a
public body, evidence that the public body possesses clear title to the
site, and has entered into a legally binding agreement to lease or
convey the site to the Sponsor after it receives and accepts a notice
of Section 202 capital advance and identification of any restrictive
covenants, including reverter clauses. However, in localities where HUD
determines the time constraints of the funding round will not permit
all of the required official actions (e.g., approval of Community
Planning Boards) that are necessary to convey publicly-owned sites, a
letter in the application from the mayor or director of the appropriate
local agency indicating approval of conveyance of the site contingent
upon the necessary approval action is acceptable and may be approved by
the HUD Office if it has satisfactory experience with timely conveyance
of sites from that public body. In such cases, documentation shall also
include a copy of the public body's evidence of ownership and
identification of any restrictive covenants, including reverter
clauses. For properties to be acquired from the RTC, include a copy of
the RTC prepared Transaction Screen Checklist or Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment, and applicable documentation, per the RTC
Environmental Guidelines.
Note: A PROPOSED PROJECT SITE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED OR OPTIONED
FROM A GENERAL CONTRACTOR (OR ITS AFFILIATE) THAT WILL CONSTRUCT THE
SECTION 202 PROJECT OR FROM ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT TEAM MEMBER.
(2) Evidence that the project as proposed is permissible under
applicable zoning ordinances or regulations, or a statement of the
proposed action required to make the proposed project permissible and
the basis for belief that the proposed action will be completed
successfully before the submission of the commitment application (e.g.,
a summary of the results of any recent requests for rezoning on land in
similar zoning classifications and the time required for such rezoning,
preliminary indications of acceptability from zoning bodies, etc.).
(3) Narrative description of site and area surrounding the site,
characteristics of neighborhood, how the site will promote greater
housing opportunities for minorities, and any other information that
affects the suitability of the site for the elderly.
(4) A map showing the location of the site and the racial
composition of the neighborhood, with the area of racial concentration
delineated.
(5) A Transaction Screen Process, in accordance with the American
Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) Standards E 1528-93 and E 1527-
93, as amended. If the completion of the Transaction Screen
Questionnaire results in either a ``yes'' or ``unknown'' response,
further study is required, and the Sponsor must complete a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with the ASTM and submit it
with the application. If the Phase I study indicates the possible
presence of contamination and/or hazards, further study must be
undertaken. At this point, the Sponsor must decide whether to continue
with this site or choose another site. Should the Sponsor choose
another site, the same environmental site assessment procedure
identified above must be followed for that site. Since all Transaction
Screen processes and Phase I studies must be completed and submitted
with the application, it is important that the Sponsor start the site
assessment process as soon after the publication of this NOFA as
possible.
If the Sponsor chooses to continue with the original site, then it
must undertake a detailed Phase II Environmental Site Assessment by an
appropriate professional.
Note: THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING. THE COST OF THE
STUDY WILL BE BORNE BY THE SPONSOR IF THE APPLICATION IS NOT
SELECTED.
If the Phase II Assessment reveals site contamination the extent of
the contamination, and a plan for clean-up of the site must be
submitted to the local HUD Office. The plan for clean-up must
[[Page 27618]] include a contract for remediation of the problem(s) and
an approval letter from the applicable Federal, State, and/or local
agency with jurisdiction over the site. In order for the application to
be considered for review under this FY 1995 funding, this information
would have to be submitted to the local HUD Office no later than August
16, 1995.
(d) Provision of supportive services and proposed facility.
(1) A detailed description of the supportive services proposed to
be provided to the anticipated occupancy.
(2) Form HUD 92013E, Supplemental Application Processing Form--
Housing for the Elderly. Identify all supportive services, if any, to
be provided to the persons occupying such housing.
(3) A description of public or private sources of assistance that
reasonably could be expected to fund the proposed services.
(4) The manner in which such services will be provided to such
persons (i.e., on or off-site), including whether a service coordinator
will facilitate the adequate provision of such services, and how the
services will meet the identified needs of the residents.
5. A list of the applications, if any, the Sponsor has submitted or
is planning to submit to any other HUD Office in response to this NOFA
or the NOFA for Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities
(published elsewhere in today's Federal Register). Indicate by HUD
Office, the proposed location by city and State, and the number of
units requested for each application. Include a list of all FY 1994 and
prior year projects to which the Sponsor(s) is a party, identified by
project number and HUD Office, which have not been finally closed.
6. HUD-2880, Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report,
including Social Security Numbers and Employee Identification Numbers.
7. E.O. 12372. A certification that the Sponsor has submitted a
copy of its applications, if required, to the State agency (single
point of contact) for State review in accordance with Executive Order
12372.
8. A statement that (a) identifies all persons (families,
individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations), identified by
race/minority group, and status as owners or tenants, occupying the
property on the date of submission of the application for a capital
advance; (b) indicates the estimated cost of relocation payments and
other services; and (c) identifies the staff organization that will
carry out the relocation activities.
Note: IF ANY OF THE RELOCATION COSTS WILL BE FUNDED FROM SOURCES
OTHER THAN THE SECTION 202 CAPITAL ADVANCE, THE SPONSOR MUST PROVIDE
EVIDENCE OF A FIRM COMMITMENT OF THESE FUNDS. WHEN EVALUATING
APPLICATIONS, HUD WILL CONSIDER THE TOTAL COST OF PROPOSALS (I.E.,
COST OF SITE ACQUISITION, RELOCATION, CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PROJECT
COSTS).
9. SF-424. A certification on SF-424, Application for Federal
Assistance, that the Sponsor(s) is not delinquent on the repayment of
any Federal debt.
10. Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. If the amount applied for is
greater than $100,000, the certification with regard to lobbying
required by 24 CFR part 87 must be included. If the amount applied for
is greater than $100,000, and the applicant has made or has agreed to
make any payment using nonappropriated funds for lobbying activity, as
described in 24 CFR part 87, the submission must also include SF-LLL,
Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. The applicant determines if the
submission of the SF-LLL form is applicable.
11. Sponsor Certifications.
(a) A certification of the Sponsor(s)' intent to comply with
section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and the
implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 8; the Fair Housing Act (42
U.S.C. 3600-3619) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR Parts 100,
108, 109, and 110; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.
2000d) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 1; section 3 of
the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) and the
implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 135; the Age Discrimination Act
of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-6107) and the implementing regulations at 24
CFR Part 146; Executive Order 11246 (as amended) and the implementing
regulations at 41 CFR Chapter 60; the regulations implementing
Executive Order 11063 (Equal Opportunity in Housing) at 24 CFR Part
107; the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) to
the extent applicable; the affirmative fair housing marketing
requirements of 24 CFR part 200, subpart M and the implementing
regulations at 24 CFR part 108; and other applicable Federal, State,
and local laws prohibiting discrimination and promoting equal
opportunity.
(b) A certification that the Sponsor(s) will comply with the
requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
(c) A certification that the project will comply with HUD's design
and cost standards; the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and
HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 40; Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR
part 8; and for covered multifamily dwellings designed and constructed
for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, the design and construction
requirements of the Fair Housing Act and HUD's implementing regulations
at 24 CFR part 100; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
(d) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will comply (or has
complied) with the acquisition and relocation requirements of the
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies
Act of 1970, as amended (URA), implemented by regulations at 49 CFR
part 24, and 24 CFR 889.265(e).
(e) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will form an Owner
(as defined in 24 CFR 889.105) after the issuance of the capital
advance, will cause the Owner to file a request for determination of
eligibility and a request for capital advance under Sec. 889.300, and
will provide sufficient resources to the Owner to insure the
development and long-term operation of the project, including
capitalizing the Owner at conditional commitment processing in an
amount sufficient to meet its obligations in connection with the
project.
(f) Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (Plan)
for the jurisdiction in which the proposed project will be located must
be submitted by the Sponsor (see NOTE below if the jurisdiction does
not have an approved Plan). The certification must be made by the unit
of general local government if it is required to have, or has, a
complete Plan. Otherwise the certification may be made by the State, or
if the project will be located in a unit of general local government
authorized to use an abbreviated strategy, by the unit of general local
government if it is willing to prepare such a Plan.
All certifications must be made by the public official responsible
for submitting the Plan to HUD. The certifications must be submitted as
part of the application by the application submission deadline set
forth in this NOFA, except as provided in the next paragraph. The Plan
regulations are published in 24 CFR part 91.
Notes: (1) If the jurisdiction's plan program year has not yet
started, the jurisdiction may certify consistency with their FY 1994
CHAS in lieu of the plan. A notice published in the February 6, 1995
Federal Register (60 FR 6967) established that a jurisdiction's
previously approved CHAS will remain in effect until the start date
of the jurisdiction's new consolidated program year, at which
[[Page 27619]] point the jurisdiction's new plan would take effect.
The notice also allows jurisdictions to use their annual plan for FY
1994 as extended by the February 6, 1995 Federal Register notice for
the purpose of certifications of consistency.
(2) Sponsors of projects in Oklahoma may submit the
certification of consistency with the consolidated plan after the
application deadline date but no later than August 25, 1995.
IV. Other Matters
A. Environmental Impact
A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment
has been made in accordance with HUD regulations that implement section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4332). The Finding of No Significant Impact is available for public
inspection during business hours in the Office of the Rules Docket
Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.
B. Federalism Executive Order
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that this NOFA
does not have substantial direct effects on States or their political
subdivisions, or on the relationship between the Federal government and
the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among
the various levels of government. This NOFA merely notifies the public
of the availability of capital advances and project rental assistance
for supportive housing for the elderly.
C. Family Executive Order
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under Executive
Order 12606, the Family, has determined that this NOFA does not have
the potential for significant impact on family formation, maintenance,
or general well-being. This NOFA may have a positive though indirect
effect on families, to the extent that families will benefit from the
provision of supportive housing for elderly persons. Since any effect
on families is beneficial, this NOFA is not subject to review under the
Order.
D. Accountability in the Provision of HUD Assistance
HUD has promulgated a final rule to implement section 102 of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD
Reform Act). The final rule is codified at 24 CFR part 12. Section 102
contains 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 in
the Federal Register (57 FR 1942) additional information that gave the
public (including applicants for and recipients of HUD assistance)
further information on the implementation, public access, and
disclosure requirements 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
HUD will ensure 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. (See 24 CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for
further information on these requirements.)
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. (See
24 CFR subpart C, and the notice published in the Federal Register on
January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for further information on these
disclosure requirements.)
E. Documentation and Public Access Requirements: HUD Reform Act
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. (See CFR 12.14(a) and 12.16(b), and the notice
published in the Federal Register on January 16, 1992 (57 FR 1942), for
further information on these requirements.)
F. Section 103
HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 was published May 13,
1991 (56 FR 22088) and became effective on June 12, 1991. That
regulation, codified as 24 CFR part 4, applies to the funding
competition announced today. The requirements of the rule 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 part 4 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 who have questions should contact the HUD Office of
Ethics (202) 708-3815 (TDD/Voice). (This is not a toll-free number.)
The Office of Ethics can provide information of a general nature to HUD
employees, as well. However, a HUD employee who has specific program
questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed
with persons outside HUD, should contact his or her HUD Office Counsel,
or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question pertains.
G. Lobbying
Section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act
(42 U.S.C. 3537b) contains two provisions dealing with efforts to
influence HUD's decisions with respect to financial assistance. The
first imposes disclosure requirements on those who [[Page 27620]] are
typically involved in these efforts--those who pay others to influence
the award of assistance or the taking of a management action by HUD and
those who are paid to provide the influence. The second restricts the
payment of fees to those who are paid to influence the award of HUD
assistance, if the fees are tied to the number of housing units
received or are based on the amount of assistance received, or if they
are contingent upon the receipt of assistance.
Section 13 was implemented by final rule published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 1991 (56 FR 22912). If readers are involved in any
efforts to influence HUD in these ways, they are urged to read the
final rule, particularly the examples contained in Appendix A of the
rule.
Any questions regarding the rule should be directed to the
Director, Office of Ethics, Room 2158, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410. Telephone:
(202) 708-3815 (TDD/Voice). (This is not a toll-free number.) Forms
necessary for compliance with the rule may be obtained from the local
HUD Office.
H. Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities
The use of funds awarded under this NOFA is subject to the
disclosure requirements and prohibitions of Section 319 of the
Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 1990 (31 U.S.C. 1352) (the Byrd Amendment) and the
implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 87. These authorities prohibit
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. The prohibition also covers the awarding of contracts,
grants, cooperative agreements, or loans unless the recipient has made
an acceptable certification regarding lobbying. Under 24 CFR part 87,
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients of assistance exceeding
$100,000 must certify that no Federal funds have been or will be spent
on lobbying activities in connection with the assistance.
