Discussion of Notice
On November 3, 1993, FmHA published a final rule announcing the
implementation of the Housing Application Packaging Grants (HAPG) for
FmHA's Rural Housing programs. This notice provides guidance of the
availability of funds for FY 1994. -------
Funding for FY 1994 for HAPG is $6.5 million. Initial set aside for
Sections 502/504 is $2.5 million. Each participating State's funds is
based on its number of eligible counties/colonias, with each county/
colonia receiving a prorata share of the total funds available. See the
spreadsheet at the end of this notice for the allocation of funds.
Funding for sections 514, 515, 516, 524, and 533 is $1 million and
will be held in reserve in the National Office. All States are
encouraged to request funds for Multi-Family programs which will be
considered on a first-come-first-served basis.
A National Office reserve is available on an individual case basis
when the State is unable to fund a request from its regular allocation.
A total reserve of $3 million is available for all programs.
Pooling of unused HAPG funds is tentatively scheduled for July 15,
1994, and may be changed administratively, based upon fund usage. All
unused grant funds will be rolled over into FY 1995.
The following is a list of HAPG funds allocated for FY 1994 for
