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 the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and assigned OMB
Control Number 2502-0267. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection displays a valid control number.
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), and by
the Rescissions Act (Pub. L. 104-19, approved July 27, 1995). 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 891. This assistance may be used to finance
the construction or rehabilitation of a structure, or acquisition of a
structure from the Resolution Trust Corporation (now the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (RTC/FDIC), to be used as supportive
housing for the elderly in accordance with part 891.
Note that on March 22, 1996, HUD published a final rule (61 FR
11948) that consolidated the regulations for the Section 202 Program of
Supportive Housing for the Elderly and the Section 811 Program of
Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities in 24 CFR part 891.
For supportive housing for the elderly, the Omnibus Consolidated
Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, approved
April 26, 1996)(Act) provides Sec. 780,190,000 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. In accordance
with the waiver authority provided in the Act, the Secretary is
extending the determinations made in the Notice published in 61 F.R.
3047 to Fiscal Year 1996 funding by waiving the following statutory and
regulatory provision: The term of the project rental assistance
contract is reduced from 20 years to a minimum term of 5 years and a
maximum term which can be supported by funds authorized by the Act. The
Department anticipates that at the end of the contract terms, renewals
will be approved subject to the availability of funds. In addition to
this provision, the Department will reserve project rental assistance
contract funds based on 75 percent rather than on 100 percent of the
current operating cost standards for approved units in order to take
into account the average tenant contribution toward rent.
Please note that the waiver broadening the eligibility of
tenants to persons with incomes at 80 percent of the median or below
(61 FR 3047, January 30, 1996) is not being extended to the projects
funded in accordance with this NOFA. The statutory provision
limiting eligibility to persons with incomes at 50 percent of the
median or below remains in effect.
In accordance with an agreement between HUD and the Rural Housing
Service (RHS), which facilitates the coordination between the two
agencies in administering their respective rental assistance programs,
HUD is required to notify RHS of applications for housing assistance it
receives. This notification gives RHS 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 RHS 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
based upon 75 percent of the current operating cost standards to
support the units selected for capital advances sufficient for minimum
5-year project rental assistance contracts.
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
[[Page 35867]]
percent of area median family income, as determined by HUD, with an
adjustment for household size) that have housing deficiencies.
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/
FDIC properties) of 200 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 4:00 p.m. local time
on August 19, 1996, 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
and facsimile, informing Sponsors of any missing parts of the
application. Sponsors must correct such deficiencies within 8 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).
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
8-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 10 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
[[Page 35869]]
technically rejected at the end of technical processing.
Technical processing will also assure that the Sponsor has complied
with the requirements in the civil rights certification in the
Application Package. 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
section I.D.3. of this NOFA. Applications, submitted in response to the
advertised metropolitan allocations and nonmetropolitan allocations,
which have a total score of 60 points or more will be eligible for
selection and will be placed in rank order per metropolitan/
nonmetropolitan allocation. These applications will be selected based
on rank order, to and including the last application that can be funded
out of each of the local HUD Office's metropolitan/nonmetropolitan
allocations. HUD Offices shall not skip over any applications in order
to select one based on the funds remaining. However, after making the
initial selections in each allocation area, any residual funds may be
utilized to fund the next rank-ordered application by reducing the
units by no more than 10 percent rounded to the nearest whole number;
provided the reduction will not render the project infeasible. Projects
of nine units or less may not be reduced.
Once this process has been completed, HUD Offices may combine their
unused metropolitan and nonmetropolitan funds in order to select
another application in either category, using the unit reduction policy
described above, if necessary.
Funds remaining after these processes are completed will be
returned to Headquarters. These funds will be used first to restore
units to projects reduced by HUD Offices as a result of the
instructions above and, second, for selecting applications on a
national rank order. However, no more than one application will be
selected per HUD Office from the national residual amount unless there
are insufficient approvable applications in other HUD Offices. If funds
still remain, additional applications will be selected based on a
national rank order, insuring an equitable distribution among HUD
Offices.
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
(13 points);
(3) 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); and
(4) 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 the following
(30 points maximum--25 base points plus 5 bonus points):
(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 the Application Package, 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 RHS) (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 RHS, comments from the
RHS 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).
(4) The project will be located within the boundaries of a Place
Based Community Revitalization Area defined as a federally-designated
Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental Empowerment Zone, Enterprise
Community, Urban Enhanced Enterprise Community, or a HUD-approved CDBG
neighborhood revitalization strategy area (5 bonus points).
(c) Adequacy of the provision of supportive services and of the
proposed facility, considering the following (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
[[Page 35870]]
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).
For the selection criterion in b.(4) above, the Secretary's
Representative, or the Secretary's Representative in consultation with
the State/Area Coordinator, may assign the 5 bonus points to an
application if the site for the proposed project is approvable, is
located within the boundaries of a Place Based Community Revitalization
Area, as defined above, and the locally developed strategy for the area
involves items such as physical improvements, necessary public
facilities and services, private investment and citizen self-help
activities.
The maximum number of points an application can earn without bonus
points is 100. An application can earn an additional 10 bonus points
for a maximum total of 110 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 requirements of this NOFA. No
application will be accepted after 4:00 p.m. local time on August 19,
1996, 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 (the TTY number is 1-800-483-2209) 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. Such 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.
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 dates 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.
[[Page 35871]]
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 participation in joint ventures and
experience in contracting with minority-owned businesses, women-owned
businesses, and small businesses over the last three years, including a
description of the joint venture, partners and the Sponsor's
involvement and a summary of the total contract amounts awarded in each
of the three 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 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;), 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 RHS; 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 (which extends through the end of the current fiscal
year and contains a renewal provision so that the option can be renewed
for at least an additional six months) 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 RTC/FDIC). 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.
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 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. Sponsors may choose to automatically complete a
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in lieu of completing the
Transaction Screen Questionnaire. 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.
[[Page 35872]]
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 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 1996 funding, this information would have to be submitted
to the local HUD Office no later than 30 days after the application
deadline date.
Note: For properties to be acquired from the RTC/FDIC, include a
copy of the RTC/FDIC prepared Transaction Screen Checklist or Phase
I Environmental Site Assessment, and applicable documentation, per
the RTC/FDIC Environmental Guidelines.
(6) If applicable, identify whether the site for the proposed
project is located within the boundaries of a Place Based Community
Revitalization Area, as defined above. If the site is in a Place Based
Community Revitalization Area, briefly summarize the locally developed
strategy for the area involving items such as physical improvements,
necessary public facilities and services, private investment and
citizen self-help activities.
(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 1995 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. 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. 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. The Plan regulations are published in 24 CFR part
91.
12. 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 part 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 project
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
[[Page 35873]]
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 891.155(e).
(e) A certification by the Sponsor(s) that it will form an Owner
(as defined in 24 CFR 891.305) 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, 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.
IV. Development Cost Limits
(a) The following development cost limits, adjusted by locality as
described in (b) below, shall be used to determine the capital advance
amount to be reserved for projects for the elderly:
(1) The total development cost of the property or project
attributable to dwelling use (less the incremental development cost and
the capitalized operating costs associated with any excess amenities
and design features to be paid for by the Sponsor) may not exceed:
Non-elevator structures:
$28,032 per family unit without a bedroom;
$32,321 per family unit with one bedroom;
$38,979 per family unit with two bedrooms;
For elevator structures:
$29,500 per family unit without a bedroom;
$33,816 per family unit with one bedroom;
$41,120 per family unit with two bedrooms;
(2) These cost limits reflect those costs reasonable and necessary
to develop a project of modest design that complies with HUD minimum
property standards; the accessibility requirements of Sec. 891.120(b);
and the project design and cost standards of Sec. 891.120.
(b) Increased development cost limits.
(1) HUD may increase the development cost limits set forth in
paragraph (a)(1) of this section by up to 140 percent in any geographic
area where the cost levels require, and may increase the development
cost limits by up to 160 percent on a project-by-project basis.
(2) If HUD finds that high construction costs in Alaska, Guam,
Virgin Islands or Hawaii make it infeasible to construct dwellings,
without the sacrifice of sound standards of construction, design, and
livability, within the development cost limits provided in this
paragraph (a), the amount of the capital advances may be increased to
compensate for such costs. The increase may not exceed the limits
established under this section (including any high cost area
adjustment) by more than 50 percent.
V. 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. This
NOFA only solicits applications for supportive housing for the elderly.
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). This 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 Requirements
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 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
[[Page 35874]]
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. Prohibition Against Advance Information on Funding Decisions.
HUD's regulation implementing section 103 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, 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
limited 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 or employees who have ethics related questions should
contact the HUD Office of Ethics (202) 708-3815 (TTY/Voice). (This is
not a toll-free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program
questions, such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed
with persons outside HUD, the employee should contact the appropriate
Field Office Counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which
the question pertains.
F. 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 the 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.
