2. Changes from 1996 Estimates Included in 1997 Budget
There are no changes in the 1996 estimates included in the 1997 Budget. The Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996 authorized $40 million in Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing recaptures to be used for the Habitat/Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program in 1996. Of this total, $25 million was granted to Habitat for Humanity International, whose organizational headquarters is located in Americus, Georgia. The remaining $15 million was awarded on a competitive basis to the following organizations: Housing Assistance Council, Washington, D.C., $13.5 million; Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, Washington, D.C.,
$1.2 million; and, Northwest Regional Facilitators, Spokane, WA, $300,000. The 1996 appropriation and obligation, as well as 1997 and 1998 outlays, are included in the Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing account.
