DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-4213-N-01]
Funding Availability for FY 1997 Historically Black Colleges and
Universities Program; Expanding HUD Partnerships for Neighborhood and
Community Revitalization
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year (FY)
1997.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This NOFA announces the availability of $6.5 million in FY
1997 funding for the Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCU) Program, as provided by the Departments of Veterans Affairs and
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations
Act, 1997 (Pub. L. 104-204; approved September 26, 1996; 110 Stat.
2874) (the 1997 Appropriations Act), plus any recaptured funds from
prior appropriations. (The use of recaptured funds is subject to
reprogramming procedures as required by section 218 of the 1997
Appropriations Act (110 Stat. 2905)). In order to ensure that some
previously unfunded HBCUs will receive awards in this competition, one-
half of the available funds will be awarded to applicants that have not
previously been funded under the HUD HBCU program. Thus, of the $6.5
million in FY 1997 funds made available under this NOFA, $3.25 million
will be awarded to HBCUs that have not received funding in past HUD
HBCU competitions under section 107(b)(3) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, which includes competitions for
Fiscal Years 1991 through 1996 1 (``Previously-unfunded
HBCUs''). The remaining $3.25 million of FY 1997 funds will be awarded
to HBCUs that have received funding under such competitions
(``Previously-funded HBCUs''). (Similarly, if recaptured funds are made
available, those funds will also be divided evenly between the two
types of applicant).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The FY 1991 competition was the first funded under the
current HBCU Program authorization, section 107(b)(3) of the 1974
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The maximum amount awarded to any applicant will be $400,000. The
maximum period for performance of a proposed program under this NOFA is
24 months. The performance period will commence on the effective date
of the grant agreement. HUD reserves the right to make awards for less
than the maximum amount or less than the amount requested in a
particular application. The awards will be made in the form of grants.
This document contains the following information:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Purpose, Objectives, and Substantive Description
Purpose. The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)
Program is designed to assist HBCUs to expand their role and
effectiveness in addressing community development needs in their
localities. For the purposes of this program, the term ``locality''
includes any city, county, town, township, parish, village, or other
general political subdivision of a State or the U.S. Virgin Islands
within which an HBCU is located. An HBCU located in a metropolitan
statistical area (MSA), as established by the Office of Management and
Budget, may consider its locality to be one or more of these entities
within the entire MSA. The nature of the locality for each HBCU may,
therefore, differ depending on its location.
Program Objective. The objective of this program is to assist HBCUs
expand their role and effectiveness in addressing community development
needs in their localities, including neighborhood revitalization,
housing, and economic development, consistent with the purposes of
Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended.
Promoting Comprehensive Approaches to Housing and Community
Development. HUD is interested in promoting comprehensive, coordinated
approaches to housing and community development. Economic development,
community development, public housing revitalization, homeownership,
assisted housing for special needs populations, supportive services,
and welfare-to-work initiatives can work better if linked at the local
level. Toward this end, HUD in recent years has developed the
Consolidated Planning process designed to help communities undertake
such approaches.
In this spirit, it may be helpful for applicants under this NOFA to
be aware of other related HUD NOFAs that have recently been published
or are expected to be published in the near future. By reviewing these
NOFAs with respect to their program purposes and the eligibility of
applicants and activities, applicants may be able to relate the
activities proposed for funding under this NOFA to the recent and
upcoming NOFAs and to the community's Consolidated Plan.
On December 3, 1996 (61 FR 64196), HUD published in the Federal
Register the NOFA for the HUD-Administered Small Cities Community
Development Block Grant Program--Development Grants for Fiscal Year
1997 and the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program for Small Communities
in New York State. On March 20, 1997 (62 FR 13506), HUD published the
NOFA for Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC). On April 23,
1997 (62 FR 19860), HUD published the Youthbuild NOFA. Other related
NOFAs that HUD expects to publish in the Federal Register within the
next few weeks include the Joint Community Partners NOFA and the TOP/
Economic Development NOFA.
To foster comprehensive, coordinated approaches by communities, HUD
intends for the remainder of FY 1997 to continue to alert applicants to
upcoming and recent NOFAs as each NOFA is published. In addition, a
complete schedule of NOFAs to be published during the fiscal year and
those already published appears under the HUD Homepage on the Internet,
which can be accessed at http://www.hud.gov/nofas.html. Additional
steps on NOFA coordination may be considered for FY 1998.
For help in obtaining a copy of your community's Consolidated Plan,
please contact the community development office of your municipal
government.
A. Authority
This program is authorized under section 107(b)(3) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 (the 1974 Act) (42 U.S.C.
5307(b)(3)), which was added by section 105 of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235). The
program is governed by regulations contained in 24 CFR 570.400 and
570.404, and in 24 CFR part 570, subparts A, C, J, K, and O.
B. Eligibility
1. Eligible Applicants. Only HBCUs as determined by the Department
of Education in 34 CFR 608.2 in accordance with that Department's
responsibilities under Executive Order 12677, dated April 28, 1989, are
eligible for funding under the HBCU Program. As indicated above, funds
available under this NOFA will be split between two classes of HBCU
applicant. One category, Previously-funded HBCUs, includes HBCUs that
have received funding in past HUD HBCU competitions under section
107(b)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which
includes competitions for Fiscal Years 1991 through 1996. The other
category of eligible applicant, Previously-unfunded HBCUs, includes
HBCUs that have not received funding under such competitions. Lists of
Previously-funded HBCUs and Previously-unfunded HBCUs appear as
Appendices B and C to this Notice of Funding Availability. HUD will use
these lists to determine in which category the application should be
considered.
2. Eligible Activities. Each activity proposed for funding must
meet both a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program national
objective AND the CDBG eligibility requirements, which are described
below. In addition, the application must contain a letter from the
Chief Executive Officer of the unit of general local government in
which the proposed activities are to be carried out, certifying that
the activities are consistent with the Consolidated Plan or other
officially approved Comprehensive Plan of the jurisdiction to be
served.
a. National Objectives. Each activity that may be funded under this
NOFA must meet one of the three national objectives of the Community
Development Block Grant program: (1) Benefit to low- or moderate-income
persons; (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight;
or (3) meet other community development needs having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat
to the health and welfare of the community, and other financial
resources are not available to meet such needs. Criteria for
determining whether an activity addresses one or more of these
objectives are provided at 24 CFR 570.208. (It is not necessary for
applicants to comply with the primary objective requirement of 24 CFR
570.200 (a)(3), which requires recipients to ensure that not less than
70 percent of the grant expenditures be for activities benefiting low
and moderate income persons.).
b. Eligible Activities that may be funded under this NOFA are those
activities eligible for CDBG funding. They are listed in 24 CFR part
570, subpart C, particularly Secs. 570.201 through 570.206. Ineligible
activities are listed at Sec. 570.207. Additionally, an activity which
otherwise is eligible under Secs. 570.201 through 570.206 may not be
funded if State or local law requires that it be carried out by a
governmental entity. Examples of activities that generally can be
carried out with these funds include, but are not limited to:
(1) Acquisition of real property;
(2) Clearance and demolition;
(3) Rehabilitation of residential structures to increase housing
opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons and rehabilitation
of commercial or industrial buildings to
[[Page 26182]]
correct code violations or for certain other purposes;
(4) Direct homeownership assistance to low- and moderate-income
persons, as provided in section 105(a)(25) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974;
(5) Acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or
installation of public facilities and improvements, such as water and
sewer facilities and streets;
(6) Special economic development activities described at 24 CFR
570.203;
(7) Eligible public service activities, including activities that
provide a continuum of care for the homeless; adult basic education
classes; GED preparation and testing; job and career counseling and
assessment; citizen participation academies, and public access
telecommunications centers including ``Campus of Learners'' (COL) and
``Neighborhood Networks'' (NN); social and medical services; other
support activities for youth, senior citizens, and other low- and
moderate-income residents; and/or fair housing services designed to
further the fair housing objectives of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C.
3601-20) by making all persons, without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, family status and/or disability aware
of the range of housing opportunities available to them;
(8) Assistance to facilitate economic development by providing
technical or financial assistance for the establishment, stabilization,
and expansion of microenterprises, including minority enterprises;
(9) Establishment of a Community Development Corporation (CDC) to
undertake eligible activities;
(10) Assistance to a community based development organizations
(CBDO) to carry out a CDBG neighborhood revitalization, community
economic development, or energy conservation project, in accordance
with 24 CFR 570.204. This could include activities in support of a HUD
approved local CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) or HUD
approved State CDBG Community Revitalization Strategy (CRS). HBCUs
proposing a Community Development Corporation (CDC) component may
qualify for CBDO activities; and
(11) Program administration costs related to the planning and
execution of community development activities assisted in whole or in
part with grant funds. In order to expand the capacity of HBCUs
eligible under this NOFA, applicants may propose to use up to 10
percent of the award funds to acquire technical assistance (TA) from a
qualified TA provider to assist in implementing the proposed
activities. While applicants are responsible for ensuring that
potential TA providers are qualified, HUD would expect that the most
qualified providers would be entities/organizations that have
demonstrated the expertise and capacity to successfully conceptualize,
develop and implement community and economic development projects and
initiatives similar to those proposed by the applicant. Although pre-
award technical assistance costs may not be paid out of grant funds
(not including matching funds, if any), applicants expecting to need
technical assistance are encouraged, nonetheless, to choose a TA
provider as early as possible, to ensure that the TA provider is
involved in the early stages of proposal development. Previously
unfunded HBCUs are particularly encouraged to consider acquiring
technical assistance from a qualified HBCU TA provider, as described in
paragraph I.B.3 of this section (entitled ``Partnering with a qualified
HBCU technical assistance (TA) provider'').
In selecting proposed eligible activities, applicants are urged to
propose undertaking activities designed to promote opportunities for
training and employment of low-income residents in connection with HUD
initiatives such as ``Campus of Learners'' (COL) in public housing and
``Neighborhood Networks'' (NN) in other Federally-assisted or insured
housing. Applicants are also encouraged, whenever feasible, to propose
implementing activities in a Federally-designated Urban or Rural (HUD
or Department of Agriculture) Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental
Empowerment Zone, Urban or Rural Enterprise Community (EZ or EC), or a
HUD-approved local CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area or
HUD-approved State CDBG Community Revitalization Strategy Area. As
indicated in the Selection Criteria of this NOFA, qualified applicants
may be awarded bonus points for projects meeting these criteria.
Although acquisition of equipment is not generally an eligible
activity (subject to the exceptions provided in 24 CFR 570.207(b)(1)),
applicants are encouraged to propose the use of grant funds, at
reasonable levels, for the acquisition of computer hardware and
software compatible with Internet access and HUD's Community Planning
Software Plus (CPS+), if they do not currently have such capability.
More information on CPS+ can be obtained from the local HUD Community
Planning and Development Office.
Those applicants planning to use grant funds for the provision of
public services are bound by the statutory requirement that not more
than 15 percent of the total grant amount be used for public service
activities. Therefore, at least 85 percent of the grant amount must be
proposed to be used for activities qualifying under an eligibility
category other than public services (as described at 24 CFR
570.201(e)).
3. Partnering With a Qualified HBCU Technical Assistance (TA)
Provider. In order to expand the capacity of HBCUs eligible under this
NOFA and to foster further partnerships among HBCUs, applicants are
encouraged to propose using a portion of the award funds to acquire
technical assistance from a qualified HBCU to assist them in developing
and implementing the proposed activities. The cost for the technical
assistance must be for post-award assistance and must be necessary and
reasonable for the purposes of the grant. Under no circumstances may an
applicant use more than 10 percent of the total HUD grant (not
including matching funds, if any) to purchase technical assistance. As
indicated above, although pre-award technical assistance costs may not
be paid out of grant funds (not including matching funds, if any),
applicants expecting to need technical assistance are encouraged,
nonetheless, to choose a TA provider as early as possible, to ensure
that the TA provider is involved in the early stages of proposal
development. While applicants are responsible for ensuring that
potential TA providers are qualified, HUD would expect that the most
qualified HBCU TA providers would be Previously-funded HBCUs that have
demonstrated the expertise and capacity to successfully conceptualize,
develop, and implement community and economic development projects and
initiatives, particularly by successfully carrying out activities
funded under the HUD HBCU Program.
4. Environmental Review. If the applicant proposes activities (such
as physical development activities) that are not excluded from
environmental review under 24 CFR 50.19(b), an environmental review by
HUD is required in accordance with 24 CFR part 50, as indicated by 24
CFR 570.404(i), before HUD approves the proposal (i.e., releases CDBG
funds). Before any grant funds are released, environmental approval
must be secured. If the requirements of part 50 are not met, HUD
reserves the right to terminate all or portions of the award. The
grantee is
[[Page 26183]]
not authorized to proceed with any activity requiring such approval
until written approval is received from the appropriate HUD field
Environmental Clearance Officer in its area certifying that the project
has been approved and released from all environmental conditions.
C. Selection Process, Optional Match and Selection Criteria
Selection Process
HUD will evaluate applications for funding under this NOFA
competitively and will award points based on responses to the Selection
Criteria identified below. Applications must be complete and consistent
with this NOFA, the application kit, and the HBCU program regulations
(24 CFR 570.404) in order for the application to be eligible to compete
in this competition. To be considered for funding, applicants must
receive a minimum score of 70 out of the total of 100 points possible
for Criteria I through IV. HUD will not fund specific proposed
activities that do not meet eligibility requirements (see,
particularly, 24 CFR part 570, subpart C), or that do not meet a
national objective in accordance with 24 CFR 570.208. The CDBG
Publication entitled ``Everything You Wanted to Know About CDBG''
discusses the regulations, and a copy can be ordered from HUD's
Community Connection at 1-800-998-9999.
HUD will rate complete applications that are consistent with all
requirements of this NOFA, the application kit, and the HBCU and CDBG
Program regulations using the selection criteria provided below. To
review and rate applications, HUD may establish panels including
persons not currently employed by HUD to obtain certain expertise and
outside points of view, including views from other Federal agencies.
After rating the responses to the Selection Criteria, HUD will
separate the applications by category of applicant (Previously-funded
HBCUs or Previously-unfunded HBCUs). Within each category, HUD will
fund applications in rank order, until it has awarded all available
funds for that category of applicant, or until there are no fundable
applications remaining in that category. If there is a tie in the point
scores of two applications, the rank order will be determined by the
applicant's scores on Selection Criterion I. HUD will give the higher
rank to the application with the most points on Selection Criterion I.
If there is still a tie, the rank order will be determined by the
applicant's scores on Selection Criterion II. HUD will give the higher
rank to the application with the most points for Selection Criterion
II. If funds remain after approving all fundable applications within a
category of applicants, HUD may choose to add those funds to the funds
available for the other category of applicants.
After HUD has rated and ranked all applications and has made a
determination of successful applicants, HUD will require all successful
applicants to participate in negotiations to determine the specific
terms of the Statement of Work and grant budget. In cases in which HUD
cannot successfully conclude negotiations, it will not make awards. In
such instances, HUD may elect to offer an award (in an amount not to
exceed the amount of funds available for the competition that remain
unawarded) to the next highest ranking applicant of the same category
(either Previously-funded HBCU or Previously-unfunded HBCU) and proceed
with negotiations as described above. If no fundable applications
remain in that applicant category, HUD may offer the award to the next
highest ranking applicant in the other applicant category.
Optional Match
Although a match is not required to qualify for funding, HUD
encourages HBCUs to participate in public/private partnerships, i.e.,
with local or national nonprofit organizations, the local banking and
real estate community, local builders/developers, faith communities,
etc., to secure matches of cash and/or in-kind goods or services. The
maximum number of rating points an applicant can receive for a match is
10 points of the 20 points possible for Criterion IV, below. Applicants
having a cash match will receive a higher number of points than those
providing in-kind goods or services of the same value. To be recognized
as a match, contributions must be made available for the duration of
the grant period, regardless of the form of investment provided to the
project. Applicants without evidence of a match will receive zero (0)
points out of the possible 10 points available for match.
Selection Criteria
HUD will use the criteria set forth below to evaluate applications.
Each application must contain sufficient information to be reviewed for
its merits. The score for each criterion will be based on the
qualitative and quantitative aspects of the applicant's response to
that criterion. Applicants should adhere to the page limits for
responses as indicated. The criteria and the maximum number of points
available for each criterion (out of a total of 100 points), are as
follows:
Criterion I--Addressing the Program Objective (Maximum Points: 25)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Four (4) Pages.
A Minimum of 15 Points Must Be Received for Criterion I in Order To
Be Eligible for Funding Consideration.
HUD will evaluate this criterion on the extent to which the
applicant demonstrates how its proposal addresses the program objective
described below.
To assist HBCUs expand their role and effectiveness in
addressing community development needs in their localities, including
neighborhood revitalization, housing, and economic development,
consistent with the purposes of Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974.
Criterion II--Distress, Need(s) and Impact (Maximum Points: 35)
This criterion addresses the special needs of the applicant or
locality to be met in carrying out the proposed activities,
particularly with respect to benefiting low-and moderate-income
persons. This criterion will be evaluated on: (a) The documentation of
the level(s) of distress in the target area(s) to be served versus the
level(s) of distress for the locality or State; (b) the identification
of need(s) of the target area(s); (c) how the identified needs will be
alleviated and/or fulfilled, and what projected impact the proposed
activities will have on the documented distress levels of the target
area(s).
a. Distress (Maximum Points: 5)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Two (2) Pages. Limitation
does not apply to maps or tables.
Applicant's documentation of the level of distress in the target
area(s) to be served versus the level of distress for the locality or
State. While the poverty rate is a strong indicator of distress levels,
the applicant may demonstrate the level of distress with other factors
indicative of distress such as income, unemployment, drug use,
homelessness, including the local veterans population, and other
generally accepted indicators of socio-economic distress and/or
disinvestment. Use of the locality's or State's Consolidated Plan data
and maps is strongly encouraged.
b. Need(s) (Maximum Points: 5)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Three (3) Pages.
The applicant should identify the need(s) of the target area(s) and
state what priority each locality's or State's Consolidated Plan (CP)
has placed on
[[Page 26184]]
addressing the need(s). Applicants which identify needs that are
consistent with those in the CP will receive more points. The applicant
should document the need(s) that are identified by referencing and/or
providing, as appropriate, the relevant section(s) of the CP or
testimonies from organizations other than the applicant (i.e.,
concerned local officials, the news media, local veterans service
organizations, citizens organizations, etc.), or other evidence that
this is a high priority need. Any relevant data based on testimonies,
planning or social science studies, or media reports should be included
or footnoted.
c. Impact and Addressing Need(s) (Maximum Points: 25)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Ten (10) Pages.
To the maximum extent feasible, applicants should provide HUD with
measurable results to be achieved with the requested funds, i.e., the
number of persons to be trained, number of persons to be employed,
number of houses to be built or rehabilitated, number of minority owned
businesses to be started, etc., in the target area(s) as a result of
the implementation of the proposed activities. Based on the data
supplied above in the responses to a. Distress and b. Need(s), the
applicant should fully describe:
(1) The proposed activities to be implemented and how these
activities will alleviate and/or fulfill the Need(s) identified in
paragraph (b) of this criterion, above, and particularly how the
activities will benefit low-income and elderly residents, welfare
recipients, and the working poor in the target area(s) to be served.
Remember each activity proposed for funding must meet both a CDBG
program national objective AND the CDBG eligibility requirements
described above under B. Eligibility; and
(2) The projected Impact the proposed activities will have on the
Distress levels documented under paragraph a. of this criterion, above.
Criterion III--Capability (Maximum Points: 20)
This criterion addresses the capability of the applicant to carry
out satisfactorily the proposed activities in a timely fashion,
including satisfactory performance in carrying out any previous HUD-
assisted projects or activities. If the applicant proposes to use a
technical assistance provider, then the applicant's responses to a. and
b. below may include information about the TA provider as well as the
applicant. In assessing responses to a. and b. of this criterion,
reviewers will consider, with regard to the Program Manager and Staff,
the kind of recent work experience they possess, the number of years
they have been involved with similar projects, and the number of
projects they have successfully completed.
a. Staff Capacity (Maximum Points: 10)
Do NOT Send Resumes. Limit Response To One (1) Page For The Program
Manager And One-Half (1/2) Page Apiece For Other Staff Members.
The extent to which the applicant demonstrates that the proposed
Staff and Program Manager possess the background, experience and
capacity to conduct the proposed project, as evidenced by recent work
experience in managing projects of the same or similar size, dollar
amount, and types of activities as those proposed in the application.
b. Past Performance (Maximum Points: 5)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Two (2) Pages.
The extent to which the applicant can demonstrate that its past and
current projects funded by HUD and/or other Federal or private sector
sources are being or have been completed on schedule and have met or
are meeting goals established.
c. Products Deliverable Schedule (Maximum Points: 5)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Two (2) Pages.
As a result of the implementation of the proposed activities,
describe products to be delivered in 6 month intervals, up to 24
months. Indicate which of the staff described under Staff Capacity will
be responsible and accountable for deliverables. This criterion will be
evaluated on the extent to which the schedule represents an efficient
and feasible plan for implementation of the proposed activities.
Responses to Criterion III, Above, Will Be Rated by the HUD
Secretary's Representative Whose Jurisdiction Includes the Applicant's
Geographic Area.
Criterion IV--Feasibility (Maximum Points: 20)
This criterion addresses the feasibility of the proposed activities
for achieving the stated objectives, including local support for
activities proposed to be carried out in the locality and any matching
funds proposed to be provided from other sources.
a. Match (Maximum Points: 10)
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than One (1) Page. Limitation
applies to the applicant's narrative response and NOT to the evidence,
i.e. firm commitment letters and/or other documentation.
Applicants must provide letters or other documentation evidencing
the extent and firmness of commitments of a match from other Federal
(e.g., Americorps Programs), State, local, and/or private sources
(including the applicant's own resources). These letters or documents
must be dated no earlier than the date of this published NOFA. An
Applicant which has evidence in support of its proposed match
commitment is eligible for more rating points than those applicants not
having a firm commitment for a match.
The maximum number of rating points an applicant can receive for a
match is 10 points of the 20 points possible for this Criterion.
Applicants having a cash match will receive a higher number of points
than applicants receiving in-kind goods or services of the same value.
To be recognized as a match, contributions must be made available for
the duration of the grant period, regardless of the form of investment
provided to the project. Applicants without evidence of a match will
receive zero (0) points out of the possible 10 points available for
match.
b. Budget (Maximum Points: 10)
The budget should include: (1) A budget summary covering the
Federal and non-Federal share of costs proposed, by cost category, and
a budget justification which includes assumptions used to determine the
costs of budget items in each category; and (2) a budget-by-task, which
will include a listing of tasks with activities for each task necessary
to be performed to implement the program, the overall costs for each
task, and the cost for each funding source. The budget-by-task should
clearly indicate the HUD grant amount and identify the source and
dollar amount of the matching funds, if any. HUD will award points on
the extent to which the budget documents clearly demonstrate a cost-
effective use of resources based on reasonable assumptions. A format
for the budget summary and the budget-by-task will be included in the
application kit.
Bonus Points (Maximum Points: 25)
In addition to points awarded under the above criteria, Bonus
Points may be awarded to applicants that receive at least a minimum
score of 70 out of the total 100 points available under Criteria I
through IV above.
Bonus Points may be awarded as follows:
a. Location of Implementation of Proposed Activities, 5 points.
[[Page 26185]]
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than One (1) Page.
Five bonus points will be awarded to applicants that propose to
implement activities in a Federally-designated Urban or Rural (HUD or
Department of Agriculture) Empowerment Zone, Urban Supplemental
Empowerment Zone, Urban or Rural Enterprise Community (EZ or EC), a HUD
approved local CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) Area, or
HUD approved CDBG State Community Revitalization Strategy (CRS) Area.
To receive these points, applicants must submit with the application
package a certification from the authorized representative of the unit
of State or local government that proposed activities are to be carried
out within the EZ, EC, or Strategy Areas, NRS or CRS.
b. HUD Initiatives, 5 points.
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than Three (3) Pages.
Five points will be awarded to applicants that propose activities
which directly include one or more HUD existing, approved, or planned:
(1) Neighborhood Networks (NN). The mission of NN is to enhance 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 such residents with on-site access to computer
and training resources;
(2) Campus of Learners (COL) designated sites and/or sites that
have significant activities like the COL Program. The COL initiative 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; and/or
(3) Local Homeownership Partnerships (LPs) recognized by the
National Partners in Homeownership. Local Homeownership Partnerships
are local manifestations of the National Homeownership Strategy and are
designed to increase homeownership opportunity through public-private
collaboration. More detailed information on COL, NN, and LP will be
provided in the application kit that accompanies this NOFA. To receive
these bonus points, the applicant must thoroughly describe how these
activities have been or will be implemented.
c. Partnering With A Qualified HBCU Technical Assistance (TA)
Provider, 5 points.
Response Must Be Limited To No More Than One (1) Page.
Five points will be awarded to applicants that partner with other
HBCUs for technical assistance as described in Section I.B.3 of this
NOFA. Applicants must name the HBCU TA Provider and describe the
technical assistance to be provided, the cost of the technical
assistance, and the duration of the technical assistance.
d. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, 10 points.
Response Must Be No More Than Four (4) Pages.
Five bonus points will be awarded to applicants who work with their
jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing. Pursuant to HUD
regulations at 24 CFR 91.225 (a)(1) and 91.325(a)(1), HUD entitlement
grantees submitting Consolidated Plans are required to affirmatively
further fair housing by conducting an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to
Fair Housing Choice within their jurisdiction, by taking appropriate
actions to overcome the effects of any impediments identified through
the AI, and by maintaining records reflecting the AI and actions taken
to overcome the effects of identified impediments. HUD interprets these
broad objectives to mean taking the following actions toward the goal
of expanding mobility and widening people's freedom to choose where
they will live:
Analyzing and eliminating housing discrimination in the
locality;
Promoting fair housing choice for all persons;
Providing opportunities for racially and ethnically
inclusive patterns of housing occupancy;
Promoting housing that is physically accessible to, and
usable by, all persons, particularly persons with disabilities; and
Fostering compliance with the nondiscrimination provisions
of the Fair Housing Act.
Applicants under this NOFA can show a commitment to affirmatively
further fair housing by describing how activities proposed for funding
under this NOFA will assist their jurisdictions to overcome impediments
to fair housing choice within their localities, identified in the
jurisdiction's AI. Actions which can be implemented to overcome any
impediments found in the applicant's locality may include, but are not
limited to: Applicable neighborhood revitalization efforts, which could
include narrowing or eliminating gaps in amenities, transportation, and
security; mobility counseling programs and clearinghouses which offer
housing opportunities both within and outside of high-poverty areas;
making available to disabled persons a full range of supportive
services, including housing units which are both accessible and
visitable (i.e., making housing accessible to visitors with
disabilities); working with local lenders to develop alternative
lending criteria; job and career counseling and assessment; and social
and medical services and support activities for youth, senior citizens,
and low- and moderate-income residents, regardless of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, family status or disability.
Affirmatively furthering fair housing can also be accomplished by
the applicant working with its jurisdiction in carrying out Fair
Housing Planning requirements under the Consolidated Plan, by assisting
to identify any impediments to fair housing choice within their
locality.
Examples of areas which should be reviewed to assist jurisdictions
in meeting affirmatively furthering fair housing responsibilities may
include, but are not limited to: Zoning and site selection; Fair
Housing Enforcement; Employment-Housing-Transportation linkage; Lending
Policies and Practices; and PHA and Other Assisted/Insured Housing
Provider Tenant Selection. Applicants seeking additional examples and
more information about Fair Housing Planning, particularly those
applicants seeking to assist their locality in carrying out Fair
Housing Planning requirements under the Consolidated Plan, should refer
to HUD's ``Fair Housing Planning Guide,'' which may be ordered from
HUD's Fair Housing Clearinghouse by calling 1-800-343-3442. Applicants
whose localities are not subject to Consolidated Plan requirements may
respond by demonstrating how the activities proposed for funding under
this NOFA will otherwise assist their locality in affirmatively
furthering fair housing.
To receive these bonus points, an applicant must clearly
demonstrate that the activities proposed for funding under this NOFA
will affirmatively further fair housing in its jurisdiction.
Bonus points responses for a., b., and c. will be rated by the HUD
Secretary's representative whose jurisdiction includes the applicant's
geographic area. The bonus points responses for d. will be rated by the
appropriate HUD Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity within the
applicant's geographic area.
II. Application Submission Requirements
Applicants must complete and submit applications for HBCU grants in
accordance with instructions contained in the FY 1997 Historically
Black Colleges and Universities Program
[[Page 26186]]
Application Kit. The application kit will request information in
sufficient detail for HUD to determine whether the proposed activities
are feasible and meet all the requirements of applicable statutes,
regulations, and this NOFA. The application kit requires the following
items:
1. Transmittal Letter. A transmittal letter shall accompany the
application. This cover letter shall be signed by the Chief Executive
Officer (usually the President or Provost) of the applicant
institution. If the Chief Executive Officer has delegated this
responsibility to another official, that person may sign, but a copy of
the delegation must also be included.
2. Table of Contents.
3. Application Checklist.
4. Standard Form 424, Application for Federal Assistance. Signed by
the Chief Executive Officer.
5. Abstract.
6. Selection Criteria Responses.
7. Certifications. Certification forms signed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the applicant institution.
8. Appendices. None permitted. General support letters and resumes
shall not be submitted. Letters of commitment and other documentation
shall be included with responses to the appropriate Selection Criteria.
Applicants should refer to the HBCU application kit for further
instructions.
III. Corrections to Deficient Applications
In accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR part 4, subpart B, HUD
may contact an applicant to seek clarification of an item in the
application, or to request additional or missing information, but the
clarification or the request for additional or missing information
shall not relate to items that would improve the substantive quality of
the application pertinent to the funding decision.
IV. Other Matters
(a) Paperwork Reduction Act Statement.
The information collection requirements contained in this NOFA have
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), and assigned control number 2506-0122. 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.
(b) Environmental Impact.
This NOFA provides funding under, and does not alter environmental
requirements of, 24 CFR part 570, a regulation that was previously
published in the Federal Register, and this NOFA specifically refers to
the environmental review provisions of Sec. 570.404(i). Therefore, in
accordance with 24 CFR 50.19(c)(5), the issuance of this NOFA is
categorically excluded from preparation of a Finding of No Significant
Impact under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4321).
(c) Federalism, Executive Order 12612.
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a)
of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies
contained in this NOFA will not have substantial direct effects on
States or their political subdivisions, or on the relationship between
the Federal Government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
Specifically, the NOFA solicits HBCU applicants to expand their role in
addressing community development needs in their localities, and does
not impinge upon the relationships between the Federal government and
State and local governments. As a result, the NOFA is not subject to
review under the Order.
(d) Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.
The CFDA number for the Historically Black Colleges and
Universities Program is 14.237.
(e) Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
Applications must contain a certification that the applicant will
comply with the requirements of the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and will affirmatively
further fair housing.
(f) Prohibition Against Lobbying Activities.
Applicants for funding under this NOFA 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. Applicants are
required to certify, using the certification found at Appendix A to 24
CFR part 87, that they will not, and have not, used appropriated funds
for any prohibited lobbying activities. In addition, applicants 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.
(g) 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 NOFA as follows:
Documentation and public access requirements. HUD will ensure that
documentation and other information regarding each application
submitted pursuant to this NOFA 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. In addition, HUD will include the
recipients of assistance pursuant to this NOFA in its Federal Register
notice of all recipients of HUD assistance awarded on a competitive
basis.
Disclosures. HUD will make available to the public for 5 years all
applicant disclosure reports (HUD Form 2880) submitted in connection
with this NOFA. Update reports (also 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 15.
(h) 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, apply to this funding competition. The
regulations
[[Page 26187]]
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 Office of Ethics (202) 708-3815. (This is not a toll-
free number.) For HUD employees who have specific program questions,
such as whether particular subject matter can be discussed with persons
outside HUD, the employee should contact the appropriate field office
counsel, or Headquarters counsel for the program to which the question
pertains.
Authority: Title I, Housing and Community Development Act of
1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301-5320); sec. 7(d), Department of Housing and
