NOFA for Youth Initiative Under Public and Indian Housing Family
Investment Centers: Amendment and Notice of Application Changes
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Amendment of NOFA and notice of application changes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment extends the application due date and revises
the application procedure for funds made available for the Public and
Indian Housing Youth Development Initiative under Family Investment
Centers (FIC). The NOFA for this program was published in the Federal
Register on May 13, 1994 (59 FR 25262). Direct notice of the
application changes also has been provided to persons who have already
requested an application kit.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bertha M. Jones, Office of Resident
Initiatives, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th
Street, S.W., Room 4112, Washington, D.C. 20410; telephone (202) 708-
4233. To provide service for persons who are hearing- or speech-
impaired, this number may be reached via TDD by dialing the Federal
Information Relay Service on 1-800-877-TDDY, 1-800-877-8339, or 202-
708-9300. (Telephone numbers, other than ``800'' TDD numbers, are not
toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to provide potential applicants
with sufficient time to complete their applications and address the
revised application procedures, which have been provided directly to
persons who have requested applications and are also set out in this
notice, the Department is extending the deadline for applications under
the NOFA for Youth Development Initiative Under Public and Indian
Housing Family Investment Centers. The Department is also increasing
the number of points available in the ranking factor that addresses the
need for services by eligible residents under both the category for
conversion/renovation/supportive services and the category for
supportive services (only). Any applicant that has already submitted an
application may elect to submit a revised application by July 29, 1994.
In addition, the Department clarifies that although term Service
Coordinator is defined in the NOFA (59 FR 25263), the activities
referenced in that definition should not be included as supportive
services. The Service Coordinator salary should be listed as a separate
line item in the grant application budget. This clarification is also
indicated in the Youth Development Initiative Application Kit.
The Department is taking these actions based on its authority under
42 U.S.C. 1437t and 3535(d).
