SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The HOPWA program competition was designed to award grants for the renewal of continuing permanent supportive housing activities and for new projects, referred to as Special Projects of National Significance, that provide housing assistance and supportive services to persons and their families living with HIV/AIDS. Funds were made available for a three-year operating period starting the year following the respective competition.

New project grants were made under two categories of assistance: (1) Special Projects of National Significance which, due to their innovative nature or their potential for replication, are likely to serve as effective models in addressing the needs of low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families; and (2) projects which are part of Long-Term Comprehensive Strategies (Long-Term) for providing housing and related services for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families in areas that do not receive HOPWA formula allocations.

For the Fiscal Year 2002 competition, a total of $28,755,493 was provided to 28 grant recipients nationwide. For the Fiscal Year 2003 competition, a total of $25,935,009 was provided to 25 grant recipients nationwide. For the Fiscal Year 2004 competition, a total of $20,175,475 was provided to 22 grant recipients nationwide. For the Fiscal Year 2005 competition, a total of $37,501,089 was provided to 35 grant recipients nationwide. Project information for all years was made available on the Department's Web site. Notices on these grant selections were inadvertently not published at the time in the Federal Register.

The HOPWA assistance made available in this announcement was authorized by the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) and was appropriated by the HUD Appropriations Act for 2001. The grants competitions were included within the SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding Availability) announcements for HUD's Discretionary Programs published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2002 (67 FR 14457) for the Fiscal Year 2002 competition; April 25, 2003 (68 FR 21741) for the Fiscal Year 2003 competition; May 14, 2004 (69 FR 27633) for the Fiscal Year 2004 competition; and March 21, 2005 (70 FR 14110) for the Fiscal Year 2005 competition. Applications were reviewed and rated on the basis of selection criteria contained in each corresponding NOFA. This notice fulfills a required grants management action.
