For Federal Grant Information. The Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub.L. 106-107) directs each Federal agency to develop and implement a plan that, among other things, streamlines and simplifies the application, administrative and reporting procedures for Federal financial assistance programs administered by the agency. This law also requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to direct, coordinate, and assist Federal agencies in establishing: (1) a common application and reporting system; and (2) an interagency process for addressing ways to streamline and simplify Federal financial assistance application and administrative procedures and reporting requirements for program applicants.

This law also requires OMB to consult with the grantee community as it works with the Federal agencies to develop and implement the course of action that would be undertaken by the Federal agencies to establish an electronic site for accessing grant information and applications. Over the last few months, OMB has been conducting outreach sessions informing you of the goals of this new law and seeking your input as the Federal agencies work together to achieve implementation.

HUD has been an active member in the Federal agency working groups and has established a common website where you can find information about all the grant programs within HUD. You can access this site from our homepage at www.hud.gov/grants and checking on grant program inventory by clicking on Grants Management or directly at www.hud.gov/adm/dgms. This site will be linked with other Federal agencies as the grants common website develops. If you are interested in finding out more about the "Federal Commons" and the work being done by other agencies, please visit the Inter-Agency Electronic Grants Committee (IAEGC) website at www.fedcommons.gov.

INTRODUCTION TO THE FY 2001 SUPERNOFA

HUD'S FY 2001 SUPERNOFA PROCESS

Background

This year marks the fourth year that HUD is issuing a SuperNOFA for almost all of its competitive grant programs, and additional programs have been added as noted below. The SuperNOFA approach, in which the great majority of HUD's competitive funds are announced in one document, is designed to simplify the application process, bring consistency and uniformity to the application and selection process, and accelerate the availability of funding. Equally important, the SuperNOFA approach is designed to increase the ability of applicants to consider and apply for funding under a wide variety of HUD programs. The SuperNOFA provides a "menu" of HUD competitive programs. From this menu, communities will be made aware of funding available for their jurisdictions. Nonprofits, public housing agencies, local and State governments, tribal governments and tribally designated housing entities, veterans service organizations, faith-based organizations and others will be able to identify the programs for which they are eligible for funding.

The most creative and novel element of the SuperNOFA is that it places heavy emphasis on the coordination of activities assisted by HUD funds to provide (1) greater flexibility and responsiveness by potential grantees in meeting local housing and community development needs, and (2) greater flexibility for eligible applicants to determine what HUD program resources best fit the community's needs. The SuperNOFA's promotion of coordination and comprehensive planning of HUD assistance reduces duplication in the delivery of services by organizations and communities, and allows for delivery of a wider more integrated array of services, thereby resulting in more efficient use of HUD funds to more effectively serve a greater number of those most in need of HUD assistance.

Changes Made in the SuperNOFA Process for FY 2001

The FY 2001 SuperNOFA includes more grant assistance funding than in previous years and therefore further increases the ability of applicants to consider and apply for funding under a wide variety of HUD programs. Funding availability announcements that are being added to the Fiscal Year 2001 SuperNOFA are the following:

! Assisted Living Conversion Program (ALCP) for Eligible Multifamily Projects

! Community Development Block Grants for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages

! Early Doctoral Research Program

! Doctoral Research Program

! HUD Urban Scholars Fellowship Program (a post doctoral program)

! Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinators Program

! Healthy Homes Demonstration and Education Program (replacing the Healthy Homes Initiative Program of Fiscal Year 2000)

! Healthy Homes Research Program (replacing the program for Research to Improve the Evaluation and Control of Residential Lead-Based Paint)

! Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program

! Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing

With respect to the program NOFA for the Community Development Block Grants for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (ICDBG), a rule that amends the regulations for this program was published on January 17, 2001 (66 FR 4578) and takes effect on April 16, 2001.

Funding availability announcements that were part of the Fiscal Year 2000 SuperNOFA but for which there will be no funding availability announcements in FY 2001 are the following:

! Public Housing Drug Elimination Technical Assistance for Safety and Security

! Outreach and Assistance Training Grants

Organization of the SuperNOFA

The SuperNOFA is divided into two major sections. The General Section of the SuperNOFA describes the procedures and requirements applicable to all applications. The Programs Section of the SuperNOFA describes each program that is part of this SuperNOFA. For each program, the Programs Section describes the eligible applicants, eligible activities, factors for award, and any additional requirements or limitations that apply to the program.

Please read carefully both the General Section and the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA for the program(s) for which you are applying. Your careful reading will ensure that you apply for program funding for which your organization is eligible to receive funds and that you fulfill all the requirements for that program(s).

As part of the simplification of this funding process, and to avoid duplication of effort, the SuperNOFA provides for consolidated applications for several of the programs that are part of this SuperNOFA. HUD programs that provide assistance for, or complement, similar activities (for example, the Continuum of Care programs and CPD Technical Assistance programs) have a consolidated application that reduces the administrative and paperwork burden applicants would otherwise encounter in submitting a separate application for each program. The Program Chart in this introductory section of the SuperNOFA identifies the programs that have been consolidated and for which a consolidated application is made available to eligible applicants.

As we did in last year's SuperNOFA, HUD is providing copies of the application forms in this publication. The standard forms, certifications and assurances applicable to all programs, or the great majority of programs, in the SuperNOFA follow the General Section as Appendix B. The forms and any additional certifications and assurances that are unique to the individual program will follow that program section of the SuperNOFA.

The specific statutory and regulatory requirements of the programs that are part of this SuperNOFA continue to apply to each program. The SuperNOFA will identify, where necessary, the statutory requirements and differences applicable to the specific programs. Please pay careful attention to the individual program requirements that are identified for each program. Note that not all applicants are eligible to receive assistance under all programs identified in this SuperNOFA.

THE PROGRAMS OF THIS SUPERNOFA AND THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS ALLOCATED

The programs that are part of this SuperNOFA are identified in the chart below. The approximate available funds for each program are based on appropriated funds, and for some programs, the available funding includes funds already recaptured. In the event (1) HUD recaptures funds (either for programs for which funding already reflects recaptured funds or other programs for which funding does not reflect recaptured funds), or (2) other funds become available for any program, HUD reserves the right to increase the available funding amount for a program by the additional amounts that become available.

The chart also includes the application due date for each program, the OMB approval number for the information collection requirements contained in the specific program, and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number.

PAGES 11 THROUGH 19 ARE CAMERA READY PAGES

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement. The information collection requirements in this SuperNOFA have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The chart shown above provides the OMB approval number for each program that is part of this SuperNOFA. Where the chart notes that an OMB number is pending, this means that HUD has submitted the information to OMB to obtain an approval number and HUD's request for the number is pending. As soon as HUD receives the approval number, the number will be published in the Federal Register and provided to the SuperNOFA Information Center. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 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.

GENERAL SECTION OF THE SUPERNOFA

I. Authority; Purposes of the FY 2001 SuperNOFA; Funding Amount; Eligible Applicants and Eligible Activities

(A) Authority. HUD's authority for making funding under this SuperNOFA is the Fiscal Year 2001 Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub.L. 106-377, approved October 27, 2000) (FY 2001 HUD Appropriations Act). Generally, the authority is not repeated in the individual program sections of this SuperNOFA. The authority provision of the program sections identify additional laws and regulations that authorize the requirements listed for the funding competitions that make up this SuperNOFA.

(B) Purposes. The purposes of this SuperNOFA are to:

(1) Make funding available to empower communities and residents. The funding made available by this SuperNOFA will assist community leaders and residents, particularly low- and moderate-income residents, in using HUD funds to develop viable communities and provide decent housing for all citizens, without discrimination.

(2) Simplify the application process for funding under HUD programs. For the majority of funding that is part of this year's SuperNOFA, the SuperNOFA continues to provide a single, uniform set of rating factors and submission requirements. This year's SuperNOFA also allows, as did last year's, for you, the applicant, to apply for more than one program with a single application. This year's SuperNOFA also includes funding for the Housing Choice Voucher Program that is available on a first come, first serve basis.

(3) Promote comprehensive approaches to housing and community development. Through the SuperNOFA process, HUD encourages you, the applicant, to focus on the interrelationships that exist in a community and in HUD's funding programs, and to build community-wide efforts that coordinate the resources of multiple applicants and programs. To successfully address community needs and solve community problems, and to take advantage of existing resources, HUD encourages members of a community to join together and pool all available resources in a common, coordinated effort. By making all of HUD's competitive funding available in one document, HUD allows you, the applicant, to be able to relate the activities proposed for funding under this SuperNOFA to the community's Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

(C) Funding Available. As noted in the Introduction Section to the SuperNOFA, the HUD programs that are part of this SuperNOFA are allocated amounts based on appropriated funds. If HUD recaptures funds in any program, HUD reserves the right to increase the available funding amounts by the amount of funds recaptured.

(D) Restrictions on the Use of HUD Funds in Support of the Sale of Tobacco Products. Section 211 of the FY 2001 HUD Appropriations Act requires that funds appropriated to HUD may not be used to construct, operate, or otherwise benefit a facility or facilities with a designated portion of that facility which sells or intends to sell predominantly cigarettes or other tobacco products. The Act defines the predominant sale of cigarettes or other tobacco products to mean sales representing more than 35 percent of the annual total in-store, non-fuel sales.

(E) Eligible Applicants and Eligible Activities. The Programs Section of the SuperNOFA describes the eligible applicants and eligible activities for each program.

II. Requirements and Procedures Applicable to All Programs

Except as may be modified in the Programs Section of this SuperNOFA, or as noted within the specific provisions of this Section II, the requirements, procedures and principles listed below apply to all programs that are part of this SuperNOFA. Please be sure to read the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA for additional requirements or information.

(A) Statutory Requirements. To be eligible for funding under this SuperNOFA, you, the applicant, must meet all statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the program or programs for which you are seeking funding. If you need copies of the program regulations, they are available from the SuperNOFA Information Center or through the Internet at the HUD web site located at http://www.hud.gov. Among the reasons that HUD may find an application ineligible to receive further funding consideration is if the activities or projects proposed in the application are not eligible activities and projects. In addition (with the exception of the Section 202 and Section 811 programs) HUD may eliminate the ineligible activities from funding consideration and reduce the grant amount accordingly.

(B) Threshold Requirements. (1) Compliance with Fair Housing and Civil Rights Laws. With the exception of Federally recognized Indian tribes and their instrumentalities, all applicants and their subrecipients must comply with all Fair Housing and civil rights laws, statutes, regulations and executive orders as enumerated in 24 CFR 5.105(a). If you are a Federally recognized Indian tribe, you must comply with the nondiscrimination provisions enumerated at 24 CFR 1000.12.

If you, the applicant --

(a) Have been charged with a systemic violation of the Fair Housing Act by the Secretary alleging ongoing discrimination;

(b) Are a defendant in a Fair Housing Act lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice alleging an ongoing pattern or practice of discrimination; or

(c) Have received a letter of noncompliance findings under Title VI, Section 504, or Section 109, --

HUD will not rate and rank your application under this SuperNOFA if the charge, lawsuit, or letter of findings has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the Department before the application deadline stated in the individual program NOFA. HUD's decision regarding whether a charge, lawsuit, or a letter of findings has been satisfactorily resolved will be based upon whether appropriate actions have been taken to address allegations of ongoing discrimination in the policies or practices involved in the charge, lawsuit, or letter of findings.

(2) Other Threshold Requirements. The program section for the funding for which you are applying may specify other threshold requirements. Additional threshold requirements may be identified in the discussion of "eligibility" requirements in the program section.

(C) Additional Nondiscrimination Requirements. You, the applicant and your subrecipients, must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.), and Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq).

(D) Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. Unless otherwise specified in the Programs Section of this SuperNOFA, if you are a successful applicant, you will have a duty to affirmatively further fair housing. Again, except as may be provided otherwise in the Programs Section of this SuperNOFA, you, the applicant, should include in your application or work plan the specific steps that you will take to:

(1) Address the elimination of impediments to fair housing that were identified in the jurisdiction's Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice;

(2) Remedy discrimination in housing; or

(3) Promote fair housing rights and fair housing choice.

Further, you, the applicant, have a duty to carry out the specific activities provided in your responses to the SuperNOFA rating factors that address affirmatively furthering fair housing. Please see the Programs Section of this SuperNOFA for further information.

(E) Economic Opportunities for Low and Very Low-Income Persons (Section 3). Certain programs in this SuperNOFA require recipients of assistance to comply with section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, 12 U.S.C. 1701u (Economic Opportunities for Low and Very Low-Income Persons in Connection with assisted Projects) and the HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 135, including the reporting requirements subpart E of this part. Section 3 requires recipients to ensure that, to the greatest extent feasible, training, employment and other economic opportunities will be directed to (1) low and very low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing and (2) business concerns which provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons. As noted in the Programs Section of this SuperNOFA, Section 3 is applicable to the following programs:

! Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages;

! Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU);

! Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC);

Specifically, this type of move is covered by the acquisition policies and procedures and the relocation requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA), and the implementing governmentwide regulation at 49 CFR part 24. The relocation requirements of the URA and the governmentwide regulations cover any person who moves permanently from real property or moves personal property from real property directly because of acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition for an activity undertaken with HUD assistance.

(G) Forms, Certifications and Assurances. You, the applicant, are required to submit signed copies of the standard forms, certifications, and assurances listed in this section, unless the requirements in the Programs Section specify otherwise. Also, the Programs Section may specify additional forms, certifications, assurances or other information that may be required for a particular program in this SuperNOFA.

As part of HUD's continuing efforts to improve the SuperNOFA process, several of the required standard forms have been simplified this year. The standard forms, certifications, and assurances are as follows:

! Standard Form for Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424) (which includes civil rights/fair housing certification);

! Federal Assistance Funding Matrix and Certifications, HUD-424M;

! Standard Form for Budget Information--Non-Construction Programs (SF-424A) or

! Standard Form for Budget Information-Construction Programs (SF­424C), as applicable; ! Standard Form for Assurances--Non-Construction Programs (SF-424B) or

Tribes and TDHEs established under State law are required to submit this certification.)

! Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (HUD-2880);

! Certification Regarding Debarment and Suspension (HUD-2992). This is the certification required by 24 CFR 24.510. (The provisions of 24 CFR part 24 apply to the employment, engagement of services, awarding of contracts, subgrants, or funding of any recipients, or contractors or subcontractors, during any period of debarment, suspension, or placement in ineligibility status, and a certification is required.);

! Certification of Consistency with EZ/EC Strategic Plan (HUD-2990);

! Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (HUD-2991) if applicable;

! Acknowledgment of Application Receipt (HUD-2993);

Also included in the Appendix B to the General Section is the Funding Application for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HUD 52515). Note that Forms SF-424A and SF-424C ask for information which is similar to the same information that is required by form HUD 4123-Cost Summary which is listed as a required form under the ICDBG program section of this SuperNOFA and which is a required application for that program. Also note that there are assurances separate from SF-424B and 424D for the ICDBG program which are specific to that program.

(H) OMB Circulars and Governmentwide Regulations Applicable to Grant Programs. Certain OMB circulars also apply to programs in this SuperNOFA. The policies, guidance, and requirements of: OMB Circular No. A-87 (Cost Principles Applicable to Grants, Contracts and Other Agreements with State and Local Governments); OMB Circular A-21 (Cost Principles for Education Institutions) OMB Circular No. A-122 (Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations); OMB Circular A-133 (Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations); and the regulations in 24 CFR part 84 (Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and other Non-Profit Organizations) and 24 CFR part 85 (Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State, Local, and Federally recognized Indian tribal governments) -- may apply to the award, acceptance and use of assistance under the programs of this SuperNOFA, and to the remedies for noncompliance, except when inconsistent with the provisions of the FY 2001 HUD Appropriations Act, other Federal statutes or the provisions of this SuperNOFA. Compliance with additional OMB Circulars or governmentwide regulations may be specified for a particular program in the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA. Copies of the OMB Circulars may be obtained from EOP Publications, Room 2200, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 10503, telephone (202) 395-7332 (this is not a toll free number) or from the website at http://whitehouse.gov/wh/eop/omb/html/circulars.

(I) Environmental Requirements. If you become a grantee under one of the programs in this SuperNOFA that assist physical development activities or property acquisition, you are generally prohibited from acquiring, rehabilitating, converting, leasing, repairing or constructing property, or committing or expending HUD or non­HUD funds for these types of program activities, until one of the following has occurred:

(1) HUD has completed an environmental review in accordance with 24 CFR part 50; or

(2) For programs subject to 24 CFR part 58, HUD has approved a grantee's Request for Release of Funds (HUD Form 7015.15) following a Responsible Entity's completion of an environmental review.

You, the applicant, should consult the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA for the applicable program to determine the procedures for, timing of, and any exclusions from environmental review under a particular program. For applicants applying for funding under the Sections 202 or 811 Programs, please note the environmental review requirements for these programs.

(J) Conflicts of Interest. If you are a consultant or expert who is assisting HUD in rating and ranking applicants for funding under this SuperNOFA, you are subject to 18 U.S.C. 208, the Federal criminal conflict of interest statute, and the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch regulation published at 5 CFR part 2635. As a result, if you have assisted or plan to assist applicants with preparing applications for this SuperNOFA, you may not serve on a selection panel and you may not serve as a technical advisor to HUD for this SuperNOFA. All individuals involved in rating and ranking this SuperNOFA, including experts and consultants, must avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts. Individuals involved in the rating and ranking of applications must disclose to HUD's General Counsel or HUD's Ethics Law Division the following information if applicable: how the selection or non-selection of any applicant under this SuperNOFA will affect the individual's financial interests, as provided in 18 U.S.C. 208; or how the application process involves a party with whom the individual has a covered relationship under 5 CFR 2635.502. The individual must disclose this information prior to participating in any matter regarding this SuperNOFA. If you have questions regarding these provisions or if you have questions concerning a conflict of interest, you may call the Office of General Counsel, Ethics Law Division, at 202-708-3815 and ask to speak to one of HUD's attorneys in this division.

(K) Accessible Technology. The Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 apply to all electronic information technology (EIT) used by a grantee for transmitting, receiving, using, or storing information to carry out the responsibilities of any federal grant awarded. It includes, but is not limited to, computers (hardware, software, wordprocessing, email and web pages) facsimile machines, copiers and telephones. Recipients of HUD funds when developing, procuring, maintaining or using EIT must ensure that the EIT allows (1) employees with disabilities to have access to and use information and data that is comparable to the access and use of data by employees who do not have disabilities; and (2) members of the public with disabilities seeking information or service from a grantee must have access to and use of information and data and comparable to the access and use of data by members of the public who do not have disabilities. If these standards impose on a funding recipient, they may provide an alternative means to allow the individual to use the information and data. However, no grantee will be required to provide information services to a person with disabilities at any location other than the location at which the information services is generally provided.

III. Application Selection Process

(A) Rating Panels. To review and rate your applications, HUD may establish panels. These panels may include persons not currently employed by HUD. HUD may include these non-HUD employees to obtain certain expertise and outside points of view, including views from other Federal agencies.

(1) Rating. HUD will evaluate and rate all applications for funding that meet the threshold requirements and rating factors for award described in this SuperNOFA. The rating of you, as the "applicant," or of your organization, "the applicant's organization and staff," for technical merit or threshold compliance will include any sub-contractors, consultants, sub-recipients, and members of consortia which are firmly committed to the project.

(2) Ranking. HUD will rank applicants within each program (or, for Continuum of Care applicants, across the three programs identified in the Continuum of Care section of this SuperNOFA). HUD will rank applicants only against other applicants that applied for the same program funding. Where there are set-asides within a program competition, you, the applicant, will compete against only those applicants in the same set-aside competition.

(B) Threshold Requirements. HUD will review your application to determine whether it meets all of the threshold requirements described in Section II(B), above. Only if your application meets all of the threshold requirements will it be eligible to be rated and ranked.

(C) Factors For Award Used To Evaluate and Rate Applications. For each program that is part of this SuperNOFA, the points awarded for the rating factors total 100. Depending upon the program for which you the applicant seek funding, the program may provide for up to four bonus points as provided in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Section III(C).

(1) Bonus Points. The SuperNOFA provides for the award of up to two bonus points for eligible activities/projects that the applicant proposes to be located in federally designated Empowerment Zones (EZs), Enterprise Communities (ECs), Urban Enhanced Enterprise Communities (EECs), or Strategic Planning Communities and serve the residents of these federally designated areas, and are certified to be consistent with the strategic plan of these federally designated areas. (For ease of reference in the SuperNOFA, these federally designated areas are collectively referred to as "EZs/ECs" and residents of these federally designated areas as EZ/EC residents.) The individual funding announcement will indicate if the bonus points are available for that funding. The application kit contains a certification which must be completed for the applicant to be considered for EZ/EC bonus points. A list of EZs, ECs, EECs and Strategic Planning Communities is attached to this General Section of the SuperNOFA as Appendix A-2 and is also available from the SuperNOFA Information Center, through the HUD web site at http://www.hud.gov/grants.

In the BEDI competition, two bonus points are available for federally designated Brownfields Show Case Communities. (Please see BEDI section of this SuperNOFA for additional information). A listing of the federally designated EZs, ECs, and Enhanced ECs and Brownfields Showcase Communities is available from the SuperNOFA Information Center, or through the HUD web site on the Internet at http://www.hud.gov/grants.

(2) Court-Ordered Consideration. For any application submitted by the City of Dallas, Texas, for funds under this SuperNOFA for which the City of Dallas is eligible to apply, HUD will consider the extent to which the strategies or plans in the city's application or applications will be used to eradicate the vestiges of racial segregation in the Dallas Housing Authority's low income housing programs. The City of Dallas should address the effect, if any, that vestiges of racial segregation in Dallas Housing Authority's low income housing programs have on potential participants in the programs covered by this NOFA, and identify proposed actions for remedying those vestiges. HUD may add up to 2 points to the score based on this consideration. This special consideration results from an order of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas, Division. (This Section III(C)(2) is limited to applications submitted by the City of Dallas.)

(3) The Five Standard Rating Factors. The majority of programs in this SuperNOFA use the five rating factors described below. Additional details about the five rating factors listed below, and the maximum points for each factor, are provided in the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA. You, the applicant, should carefully read the factors for award as described in the Programs Section of the SuperNOFA. HUD has established these five factors as the basic factors for award in every program that is part of this SuperNOFA. For a specific HUD program, however, HUD may have modified these factors to take into account specific program needs, or statutory or regulatory limitations imposed on a program. The standard factors for award, except as modified in the program area section are:

Factor 1: Capacity of the Applicant and Relevant Organizational Staff

Factor 2: Need/Extent of the Problem

Factor 3: Soundness of Approach

Factor 4: Leveraging Resources

Factor 5: Comprehensiveness and Coordination

The Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs have only two factors that receive points: Need and Continuum of Care.

(D) Negotiation. After HUD has rated and ranked all applications and has made selections, HUD may require, depending upon the program, that all winners participate in negotiations to determine the specific terms of the grant agreement and budget. In cases where HUD cannot successfully conclude negotiations with a selected applicant or a selected applicant fails to provide HUD with requested information, an award will not be made to that applicant. In this instance, HUD may offer an award to the next highest ranking applicant, and proceed with negotiations with the next highest ranking applicant.

(E) Adjustments to Funding.

(1) HUD reserves the right to fund less than the full amount requested in your application to ensure the fair distribution of the funds and to ensure that the purposes of a specific program are met.

(2) HUD will not fund any portion of your application that is not eligible for funding under specific program statutory or regulatory requirements; which does not meet the requirements of this SuperNOFA or which may be duplicative of other funded programs or activities from previous years' awards or other selected applicants. Only the eligible portions of your application (including non-duplicative portions) may be funded.

(3) If funds remain after funding the highest ranking applications, HUD may fund all or part of the next highest ranking application in a given program. If you, the applicant, turn down the award offer, HUD will make the same determination for the next highest ranking application. If funds remain after all selections have been made, remaining funds may be available for other competitions for each program where there is a balance of funds.

(4) In the event HUD commits an error that, when corrected, would result in selection of an otherwise eligible applicant during the funding round of this SuperNOFA, HUD may select that applicant when sufficient funds become available.

(F) Performance and Compliance Actions of Grantees. HUD will measure and address the performance and compliance actions of grantees in accordance with the applicable standards and sanctions of their respective programs.

IV. Application Submission Requirements

As discussed in the Introduction Section of this SuperNOFA, part of the simplification of this funding process is to reduce the duplication of effort that has been required of applicants in the past. Before the SuperNOFA process, many of HUD's applicants were required to complete and submit similar applications for HUD funded programs. As the Program Chart above shows, the FY 2001 SuperNOFA provides, as did the previous SuperNOFAs, for consolidated applications for several of the programs for which funding is available under this SuperNOFA.

V. Corrections to Deficient Applications

After the application due date, HUD may not, consistent with its regulations in 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, consider any unsolicited information you, the applicant, may want to provide. HUD may contact you, however, to clarify an item in your application or to correct technical deficiencies. You should note, however, that HUD may not seek clarification of items or responses that improve the substantive quality of your response to any rating factors. In order not to unreasonably exclude applications from being rated and ranked, HUD may, however, contact applicants to ensure proper completion of the application and will do so on a uniform basis for all applicants. Examples of curable (correctable) technical deficiencies include your failure to submit the proper certifications or your failure to submit an application that contains an original signature by an authorized official. In each case, HUD will notify you in writing by describing the clarification or technical deficiency. HUD will notify applicants by facsimile or by return receipt requested. You must submit clarifications or corrections of technical deficiencies in accordance with the information provided by HUD within 14 calendar days of the date of receipt of the HUD notification. (If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, your correction must be received by HUD on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday.) If your deficiency is not corrected within this time period, HUD will reject your application as incomplete, and it will not be considered for funding. (Note that the Sections 202 and 811 Programs provide for appeal of rejection of an application on technical deficiency. Please see the Programs Sections for these programs for additional information and instructions.)

VI. Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community Development

(A) General. HUD believes the best approach for addressing community problems is through a community-based process that provides a comprehensive response to identified needs. This Section VI of the General Section of the SuperNOFA describes important initiatives that applicants should be aware of.

(B) Linking Program Activities With AmeriCorps. You are encouraged to link your proposed activities with AmeriCorps, a national service program engaging thousands of Americans on a full or part-time basis to help communities address their toughest challenges, while earning support for college, graduate school, or job training. For information about AmeriCorps, call the Corporation for National Service at (202) 606-5000, or visit the Americorps website at www.cns.gov/americorps.

(C) Linking Program Activities with USDA. In this year's SuperNOFA, HUD is working with the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide technical assistance to public housing authorities to develop a natural resource stewardship program to enhance the natural environment through activities such as tree planting, creating green spaces in areas devoid of vegetation and protecting areas from erosion and storm water runoff. Further information about this initiative can be found on the U.S. Forest Service website at www.fs.us/research/rvur/urban/urbanforest.html.

(D) Encouraging Visitability in New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation Activities. In addition to applicable accessible design and construction requirements, you are encouraged to incorporate visitability standards where feasible in new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects. Visitability standards allow a person with mobility impairments access into the home, but do not require that all features be made accessible. Visitability means at least one entrance at grade (no steps), approached by an accessible route such as a sidewalk; the entrance door and all interior passage doors are at least 2 feet 10 inches wide, allowing 32 inches of clear passage space. A visitable home also serves persons without disabilities, such as a mother pushing a stroller, or a person delivering a large appliance. Copies of the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) are available from the SuperNOFA Information Center (1-800-HUD-8929 or 1-800-HUD-2209 (TTY)) and also from the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 5230, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 755-5404 or the TTY telephone number, 1-800-877 8399 (Federal Information Relay Service).

(E) Encouraging Universal Design. Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The intent of universal design is to simplify life for everyone by making products, communications and the built environment more usable by as many people as possible at little or no extra cost. Universal design benefits people of all ages and abilities. In addition to any applicable required accessibility features under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Act, the Department encourages applicants to incorporate the principles of universal design when developing housing, community facilities, electronic communication mechanisms, or when communicating with community residents at public meetings or events.

(F) Developing Healthy Homes. HUD's Healthy Homes Initiative is one of the initiatives developed by the White House Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children that was established under Executive Order 13045 ("Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks"). HUD encourages the funding of activities (to the extent eligible under specific programs) that promote healthy homes, or that promote education on what is a healthy home. These activities may include, but are not limited to, the following: educating homeowners or renters about the need to protect children in their home from dangers that can arise from items such as curtain cords, electrical outlets, hot water, poisons, fire, and sharp table edges, among others; incorporating child safety measures in the construction, rehabilitation or maintenance of housing, which include but are not limited to: child safety latches on cabinets, hot water protection devices, proper ventilation and moisture control to protect from mold, window guards to protect children from falling, proper pest management to prevent cockroaches which can trigger asthma, and activities directed to control of lead-based paint hazards. The National Lead Information Hotline is 1-800-424-5323, and information is also available at the following website - www.hud.gov:80/health/safehome.html.

(G) Participation in PATH. If you are applying for funds that may be utilized for construction or rehabilitation, HUD encourages participation in Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). PATH's goal is to achieve dramatic improvement in the quality of American housing by the year 2010. PATH encourages leaders from the home building, product manufacturing, insurance and financial industries and representatives from federal agencies dealing with housing issues to work together to spur housing design and construction innovations. PATH has a FY 2001 budget of $10 million. PATH will provide technical support in design and cost analysis of advanced technologies to be incorporated in project construction.

Applicants should see www.pathnet.org on the Internet for more information, the list of technologies, latest PATH Newsletter, results from field demonstrations and PATH projects. Applicants are encouraged to employ PATH technologies to exceed prevailing national building practices by: reducing costs; improving durability; increasing energy efficiency; improving disaster resistance; and reducing environmental impact.

HUD's objective is to select projects funded under this SuperNOFA which demonstrate high potential opportunities for application of PATH technologies. HUD will provide technical assistance in the form of architectural, engineering and financial analysis to incorporate the specific technologies appropriate to the type of construction and climate. More information about PATH is available at the following website - www.pathnet.org/about/about.html.

(H) Bridging the Digital Divide. Bridging the Digital Divide is an initiative whose objective is to provide access to computers to low and moderate income families and children who do not have access and therefore may be disadvantaged with respect to education, work and training opportunities. HUD encourages applicants to incorporate education and job training opportunities through initiatives such as HUD's Neighborhood Networks and Twenty/20 Education communities in their programs.

(1) Neighborhood Networks. The Neighborhood Networks Initiative enhances the self-sufficiency, employability and economic self-reliance of low-income families and the elderly living in HUD insured and HUD assisted properties by providing them with on-site access to computer and training resources.

(2) The Twenty/20 Education Communities Initiative. This initiative (formerly known as Campus of Learners) is designed to transform public housing into safe and livable communities where families undertake training in new telecommunications and computer technology and partake in educational opportunities and job training initiatives.

(I) Bridging the Gap Initiative. Bridging the Gap is a new HUD initiative aimed at expanding economic and skills building opportunities offered through registered apprenticeship programs in HUD assisted construction related and maintenance activities. Apprenticeship programs have a long history of providing structured, highly competent, safe and comprehensive occupational training which produces highly qualified journey level workers. This is especially true in the construction trades. Through this initiative, HUD seeks to encourage and promote the use of apprenticeship programs in programs sponsored with HUD funds and to ensure the beneficiaries of such apprenticeship programs are HUD's client community of public housing and low- and moderate-income residents of our nation's communities.

VII. Findings and Certifications

(A) Environmental Impact. A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 50 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 regular business hours in the Office of the General Counsel, Regulations Division, Room 10276, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410-0500.

(B) Executive Order 13132, Federalism. Executive Order 13132 (entitled "Federalism") prohibits, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, an agency from promulgating policies that have federalism implications and either impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments and are not required by statute, or preempt State law, unless the relevant requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order are met. This SuperNOFA does not have federalism implications and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments or preempt State law within the meaning of the Executive Order.

(C) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities. You, the applicant, are subject to the provisions of section 319 of the Department of Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 1991, 31 U.S.C. 1352 (the Byrd Amendment), which prohibits 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. You are required to certify, using the certification found at Appendix A to 24 CFR part 87, that you will not, and have not, used appropriated funds for any prohibited lobbying activities. In addition, you must disclose, using Standard Form LLL, "Disclosure of Lobbying Activities," any funds, other than Federally appropriated funds, that will be or have been used to influence Federal employees, members of Congress, and congressional staff regarding specific grants or contracts. Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) established by an Indian tribe as a result of the exercise of the tribe's sovereign power are excluded from coverage of the Byrd Amendment, but tribes and TDHEs established under State law are not excluded from the statute's coverage.

(D) Section 102 of the HUD Reform Act; Documentation and Public Access Requirements. Section 102 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3545) (HUD Reform Act) and the regulations codified in 24 CFR part 4, subpart A, contain 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 (57 FR 1942), HUD published a notice that also provides information on the implementation of section 102. The documentation, public access, and disclosure requirements of section 102 apply to assistance awarded under this SuperNOFA as follows:

(1) Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure that documentation and other information regarding each application submitted pursuant to this SuperNOFA 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 5-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 in 24 CFR part 15.

(2) Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for 5 years all applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection with this SuperNOFA. Update reports (update information also reported on Form 2880) will be made available along with the applicant disclosure reports, but in no case for a period less than 3 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 CFR part 5.

(3) Publication of Recipients of HUD Funding. HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 4.7 provide that HUD will publish a notice in the Federal Register on at least a quarterly basis to notify the public of all decisions made by the Department to provide:

(i) Assistance subject to section 102(a) of the HUD Reform Act; or

(ii) Assistance that is provided through grants or cooperative agreements on a discretionary (non-formula, non-demand) basis, but that is not provided on the basis of a competition.

(E) Section 103 HUD Reform Act. HUD's regulations implementing section 103 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 3537a), codified in 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, apply to this funding competition. The regulations 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 the regulations 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 Ethics Law Division at (202) 708­3815. (This is not a toll­free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program questions, the employee should contact the appropriate field office counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question pertains.

VIII. The FY 2001 SuperNOFA Process and Future HUD Funding Processes

Each year, HUD strives to improve its SuperNOFA. The FY 2001 SuperNOFA was revised based on comments received during the FY 2000 funding process. HUD continues to welcome comments and feedback from applicants and other members of the public on how HUD may further improve its competitive funding process.

The description of programs for which funding is available under this SuperNOFA follows.
