Request for Qualifications; Announcement of Date for Submission of
Qualifications
AGENCY: Office of Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing

Submission of Qualifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 16, 1997, the Department published a notice seeking
requests for qualifications (RFQ) under a statutory Demonstration
Program. The July 16, 1997 RFQ advised that the Department is carrying
out a statutory Demonstration Program that is intended to test
approaches that reduce the cost of the ongoing Federal subsidy for FHA-
insured, Section 8-assisted housing, while preserving this critical
affordable housing resource in good physical and financial condition.
The July 16, 1997 RFQ is directed to nonprofit organizations that are
interested in participating in the Designee process under section VII.
of the Guidelines for the Demonstration Program. The Guidelines for the
Demonstration Program were published on January 23, 1997.
The July 16, 1997 notice requested that the qualifications be
submitted to the Department by August 13, 1997. On August 13, 1997, the
Department published a Federal Register notice extending the due date
for submission of qualifications indefinitely. The August 13, 1997
notice provided that the Department would announce through a separate
notice the new due date for submission of qualifications. This notice
supplements the August 13, 1997 notice by establishing this date. The
new due date for submission of qualifications is August 25, 1997.
