[Docket No. N-94-3739; FR-3640-N-02]
Amendment to Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for
Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP)
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Amendment to notice of funding availability for fiscal year
(FY) 1994.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Notice informs Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) with less
than 250 units under the jurisdictions of the Houston and Ft. Worth,
Texas Field Offices that the deadline date for CIAP Application
submission has been extended from June 20 to July 6, 1994. Applications
are due on or before 3 p.m. local time on July 6, 1994. This extension
does not apply to PHAs or Indian Housing Authorities under the
jurisdictions of other HUD Field Offices.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janice D. Rattley, Director, Office of
Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., room 4140, Washington, DC
20410. Telephone (202) 708-1800; TDD (202) 708-0850. (These are not
toll-free numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CIAP NOFA, published April 19, 1994, at
59 FR 18642, stated that of the $291,925,067 available for Public
Housing CIAP, 1 percent, or $2,919,251, had been set aside to carry out
goals related to pending civil rights litigation (e.g., Young v.
Cisneros), which is subject to judicial oversight. The Department
wishes to clarify that these funds will be used to fund eligible work
at the 64 CIAP eligible PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros, C.A. No. P-
80-8-CA (E.D. Tex.), as well as at the CIAP eligible PHA involved in
NAACP v. Housing Authority of City of Commerce, C.A. No. CA-3-88-0154-R
(N.D. Tex.). In order to give the 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros
additional time to include in their CIAP Applications work items
proposed in their revised desegregation plans submitted to the court on
February 4, 1994, the Department is extending the deadline for CIAP
Application submission to all PHAs under the jurisdictions of the
Houston and Fort Worth, Texas Field Offices. The application deadline
is extended from June 20, 1994 to July 6, 1994.
The 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros shall identify, in their
CIAP Applications, those work items which are included in their revised
desegregation plans. These 64 PHAs shall submit one CIAP Application,
which may include both work items included in their revised
desegregation plans and other work items not related to Young v.
Cisneros.
All CIAP Applications received (including those limited to work
items related to the specified civil rights cases) will be processed in
accordance with the April 19, 1994 NOFA; i.e., completeness review,
eligibility review, technical review (rating and ranking) and selection
for Joint Review. The application from the Housing Authority of the
City of Commerce will be considered for funding from the set-aside.
Then the highest ranked of the 64 PHAs involved in Young v. Cisneros
which apply for work items included in their revised desegregation
plans will be funded from the set-aside for those items. To the extent
that the set-aside cannot fund all proposed work related to the
specified civil rights cases, the Field Office shall merge the rankings
of any of the 65 PHAs with work items remaining unfunded from the set-
aside and/or with work items not related to the set-aside, with the
rankings of other PHAs to create one ranking list for purposes of Joint
Review selection and funding from the Field Office's regular
subassignment of CIAP funds.
Dated: June 8, 1994.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
