Funding Availability for FY 1997 Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program; Expanding HUD Partnerships for Neighborhood and Community Revitalization

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.

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

Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)); 24 CFR 570.404.
