DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing
[Docket No. N-95-3874; FR-3849-N-02]
NOFA for Fiscal Year 1995 for Rental Voucher Program and Rental
Certificate Program; Correction
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of fund availability (NOFA) for FY 95 and procedures for
allocating funds and approving housing agency (HA) applications;
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department is publishing corrections to the Notice of Fund
Availability (NOFA) published in the Federal Register on March 3, 1995,
for the Rental Voucher Program and Rental Certificate Program. The
amount of funding available for the housing counseling program
contained inconsistencies, the specification of a technical correction
period for the Mainstream Housing Opportunities component contained
inconsistencies, and the names of the counseling agencies to administer
the counseling portion of the program contained inaccuracies, resulting
from inadvertence. The deadline dates for applications may have been
unclear, so this correction also is intended to clarify those dates.
ADDRESSES: Please refer to the March 3, 1995, NOFA publication (60 FR
12036) for the application information and addresses for submitting
applications for Section 8 rental assistance funding.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerald J. Benoit, Director, Operations
[[Page 19279]] Branch, Rental Assistance Division, Office of Public and
Indian Housing, Room 4220, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
451 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410-8000, telephone (202)
708-0477. Hearing- or speech-impaired individuals may call HUD's TDD
number (202) 708-4594. (These telephone numbers are not toll-free.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On page 12047 of the March 3, 1995, NOFA,
the amount stated as available for the Section 8 Counseling program was
$150 million (60 FR 12047). On page 12048 of that NOFA, the amount
stated to be available was $115 million plus $10 million, for a total
of $125 million. The correct amount is $125 million for Section 8
Counseling, which is clarified by removal of the inconsistency in this
correction document.
The Department has discovered that five of the housing agencies
designated to receive Section 8 Counseling funds for their metropolitan
statistical area (MSA) are inappropriate agencies to administer these
funds. These changes are being made for such reasons as the agency
listed does not administer the Section 8 program for its MSA, or a
different entity in the MSA intends to administer the program. In each
of the cases, the agencies have been in contact with HUD about the
change.
Housing agencies and HUD Offices have indicated that the
application deadline dates for the various subprograms are unclear,
because the NOFA used the abbreviation ``Do.'' for ``Ditto''. In order
to clarify the deadline dates, the Department is republishing the
application deadline dates in full. Please note that there have been no
revisions to the original application deadline dates.
Accordingly, FR Doc. 95-5184, the NOFA for the Rental Voucher
Program and Rental Certificate Program, published in the Federal
Register on March 3, 1995 (60 FR 12036), is corrected as follows:
1. On page 12037, in columns one and two, the table following the
