DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4457-FA-01]


Announcement of Funding Awards of Fiscal Year 1999 Supportive 
Housing Assistance; Partial Funding

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Announcement of funding awards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with HUD's regulations implementing section 
102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform 
Act of 1989, this notice announces funding decisions made by HUD for a 
portion of the funding available for fiscal year 1999 for the 
Supportive Housing Program. The notice contains the names of award 
recipients and the amounts of the awards.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John D. Garrity, Director, Office of 
Special Needs Assistance Programs, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, Room 7262, 451 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 708-4300. The TTY number for the hearing impaired is 
(202) 708-2565. (These are not toll-free numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Supportive Housing 
Program is to promote the development of supportive housing and 
supportive services, including innovative approaches to assist homeless 
persons in the transition from homelessness and to promote the 
provision of supportive housing to homeless persons to enable them to 
live as independently as possible. The Supportive Housing Program is 
authorized by title IV of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Act (42 U.S.C. 11381-11389), and the regulations for this program are 
found in 24 CFR part 583.
    The regulations for the Supportive Housing Program authorize an 
award of renewals on a non-competitive basis (24 CFR 583.235(a)). Until 
Federal fiscal year 1997, HUD funding awards under this program were 
made on a noncompetitive basis. For Federal fiscal years 1997 and 1998, 
awards for renewals as well as new programs were made competitively, in 
response to notices of funding availability (NOFA).
    For fiscal year 1999, HUD determined that terminating funding to 
high priority Supportive Housing Program renewal projects in Continuum 
of Care Homeless Assistance programs that were unsuccessful in the FY 
1998 Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance competition would unduly 
threaten past investments that HUD has made in these projects and 
result in unacceptable reductions in services to homeless persons. Two 
hundred fifty-six Supportive Housing Program projects scheduled to 
complete the term of their grants in 1999 were not funded under the 
1998 homelessness assistance competition. These unsuccessful applicants 
represented over 30 percent of all of the possible renewals--a 
significantly higher percentage than had failed to receive funding in 
the previous year.
    To address the potential problems caused by not funding high 
priority renewals in low scoring Continuums, and to avoid significantly 
disrupting the philosophy of the Continuum of Care, HUD has decided to 
fund the 65 highest ranked Supportive Housing Program renewal projects 
which (1) passed threshold reviews in the FY 1998 competition; (2) were 
part of the unsuccessful Continuum of Care programs in the FY 1998 
competition; and (3) were ranked within the pro rata share of funding 
based on a formula for need, when measured against the need of all 
applicants. The noncompetitive funding announced through this notice is 
$20,998,934, or approximately two percent of the appropriated fiscal 
year 1999 funds for homeless assistance programs. The NOFA for the 
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program (of which Supportive 
Housing is a part) will be included in HUD's FY 1999 SuperNOFA.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the 
Supportive Housing Program is 14.235.
    Appendix A to this notice provides the names and addressees of the 
award recipients and the amounts of the awards. This information is 
provided in accordance with HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 4.7 
implementing 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).

    Dated: January 29, 1999.
Cardell Cooper,
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
