Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and

Appropriation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 104-134, approved April 26, 1996),

set aside funding for the Economic Development and Supportive Services

(EDSS) Program from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

appropriation. The purpose of the program is to provide grants to

public housing agencies and Indian housing authorities (collectively

HAs) that are in partnership with non-profit or incorporated for-profit

agencies to (1) Provide economic development opportunities and

supportive services to assist residents of public and Indian housing to

become economically self-sufficient, particularly families with

children where the head of household would benefit from the receipt of

supportive services and is working, seeking work, or is preparing for

work by participating in job-training or educational programs, and (2)

to provide supportive services to assist the elderly and persons with

disabilities to live independently or to prevent unnecessary

institutionalization.

On August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42356), HUD published a Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) that announced $30.8 million in EDSS funds. A total

of $53 million was set-aside from the Community Development Block Grant

(CDBG) appropriation for an economic development and supportive

services program. Of the $53 million, $8 million was set-aside for the

Bridges to Work Demonstration Program, $9.2 million was set-aside for

the Section 8 Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, and $5 million for

Housing's Neighborhood Network and Resident Initiatives programs. These

set-asides were announced under separate notices. The EDSS NOFA was

amended three times as follows:

September 26, 1996 (61 FR 50501). Revised the application

kit availability and extended the application due date to October 29,

1996. In addition, the Department announced the OMB control number

issued for the information collection requirements.

October 22, 1996 (61 FR 54813). Extended to November 12,

1996, the application due date for applicants submitting applications

to HUD's Puerto Rico Office due to Hurricane Hortense which caused

severe flooding on the Island of Puerto Rico resulting in travel

problems, electrical outages and in the closing of HUD's Puerto Rico

Office.

February 18, 1997 (62 FR 7249). Advised of the procedure

that the Department will use to determine how public housing agency and

Indian housing authority applications will be selected for funding in

the event of tie scores. The language was inadvertently omitted from

the August 14, 1996 NOFA.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the Economic

Development and Supportive Services Program is 14.863.

Accordingly, this announcement further amends the NOFA for Economic

Development and Supportive Services as published on August 16, 1996,

(61 FR 423560) and subsequent amendments.

[[Page 28486]]

The Department announces that applications were reviewed and evaluated

in accordance with ranking factors set forth in the NOFA published

August 16, 1996, and that funding to tie scored applications was made

in accordance with the notice published February 18, 1997.

In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(c) of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42

U.S.C. 3545) the Department is publishing details regarding recipients
