SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 30, 1998 (63 FR 15490), HUD published its National
SuperNOFA announcing the availability of approximately $5,050,000 in
HUD National Competition Programs operated and managed by the following
HUD Offices: Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), Housing, and
Lead Hazard Control [FR-4361-N-01]. The purpose of this notice is to
reopen the application period for two of the three programs under the
National SuperNOFA: Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) National
Focus Education and Outreach, and the Housing Counseling Program. The
application period is not being reopened for National Lead Hazard
Awareness Campaign Program announced under the National SuperNOFA.
Reopening of the Application Periods for FHIP and Housing
Counseling Programs Under National SuperNOFA
In the National SuperNOFA, HUD announced that the application due
dates for the national education/training components of the Fair
Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), Housing Counseling Program and
Hazard Control Program to be July 7, 1998. Due to changes from previous
years in the requirements for collaborative efforts, the extension of
the application due date for the FHIP and Housing Counseling Programs,
announced under SuperNOFA I, published on March 31, 1998 (the extension
notice was published on May 29, 1998) created a hardship for FHIP and
Housing Counseling applicants trying to meet the July 7, 1998 deadline
under the National SuperNOFA. Accordingly, to assist FHIP and Housing
Counseling program applicants, HUD is reopening the application period
and the new application due date is August 11, 1998. Applicants under
both the FHIP and Housing Counseling Programs are not required to
submit applications by the original July 7, 1998 application due date,
but those applicants who submitted applications by the July 7, 1998
application due date are eligible to amend their applications if they
choose to do so.
Technical Corrections to Housing Counseling Program NOFA and TOP/
EDSS NOFA
In addition to reopening of the application period for the FHIP and
Housing Counseling Programs announced under the National SuperNOFA,
published on April 30, 1998, the following corrections are made:
1. In the Super Notice of Funding Availability for National
Competition Programs (National SuperNOFA), published on April 30, 1998
(63 FR 23958), a correction is made to the Housing Counseling Training
Program component of the National SuperNOFA. On page 23977, in the
middle column, under Section I(D)(1), the first sentence of the first
paragraph of this section is revised to read ``Applicants must be
public or private non-profit organizations with at least 2 years of
relevant training experience.''
2. In the Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for
Economic Development and Empowerment Programs, published on April 30,
1998 (63 FR 23876), a correction is made to a typographical error that
appeared in the Consolidated Economic Development and Supportive
Services and Tenant Opportunities Program component of this SuperNOFA
(63 FR 23907). On page 23912, in the third column, under Section
III((A)(6), the indicator number for the Resident Initiatives indicator
is Indicator #7, not #8. Accordingly, paragraph (6), titled ``PHMAP
Score'' is corrected to read as follows: ``An applicant cannot have a
PHMAP score less than a C for either Indicator #6, Financial
Management, or Indicator #7, Resident Services/Community Building on
its most recent PHMAP.
Dated: July 2, 1998.

Acting Deputy Secretary.
