Summary of Technical Corrections
Summaries of the technical corrections made by this document
follow. The page number shown in brackets identifies where the
individual funding availability announcement that is being corrected
can be found in the May 14, 2004, SuperNOFA.
General Section of SuperNOFA [Page 26941]
On page 26943, under section III.C.2.c. entitled ``Compliance with
Fair Housing and Civil Rights Laws,'' subsection (1) is corrected to
exclude federally recognized Indian tribes from the requirements of the
Fair Housing Act.
On page 26948, under section IV.F.2.b. incorrectly provided that
proof of timely submission to the United States Postal Service included
a receipt not later than five days after the application due date at
the designated HUD facility. In fact, proof of timely submission to the
United States Postal Service includes a receipt dated not later than
fifteen days after the application due date at the designated HUD
facility.
On page 26948, under section IV.F.5. entitled, ``Electronic
Submission of Packages using Grant.gov,'' HUD incorrectly identified
the 2003 Capacity Building Grants as one of two programs included in
its Grants.gov electronic pilot program. The 2004 Capacity Building
Grants NOFA will be part of the Grants.gov pilot.''
On page 26949, under section V.A.1.a., entitled ``RC/EZ/EC,'' HUD
is correcting the Web address to the site where applicants can
determine if their project or program activities are located within a
federally designated Renewal Community (RC), Empowerment Zone (EZ),
Enterprise Community (EC), or Urban Enhanced Enterprise Community
(EEC).
On page 26999, HUD is republishing Appendix B, entitled ``HUD 2004
SuperNOFA Funding Chart'' to reflect these technical corrections.
On page 27005, HUD is republishing Appendix C entitled ``HUD field
office Contact Information'' to correct a number of errors in the list
published in the May 14, 2004, Federal Register notice.
On page 27009, HUD is republishing Appendix D entitled ``Office of
Native American Programs (ONAP)'' to correct a number of errors in the
list published in the May 14, 2004, Federal Register notice.
On page 27016, HUD is modifying Appendix E entitled, ``List of EZs,
ECs, Urban Enhanced Enterprise Communities, and Renewal Communities,''
as it relates to contacts for New York and will publish the revised
listing on its Web site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm
.
[[Page 34879]]
Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities
Program (AN/NHIAC) [Page 27063]
On page 27069, under section V.A.1.a. entitled, ``Knowledge and
Experience For Previously Unfunded or First Time Applicants (25 Points)
For Previously Funded Applicants,'' HUD failed to identify the number
of points available to previously funded applicants under this sub-
factor. Ten (10) points are available for previously funded applicants
under this sub-factor. HUD believes that notice of the number of points
available to previously funded applicants under this sub-factor was
evident from the discussion in section V.A.1. Specifically, section
V.A.1. provides that 25 points are available for rating factor 1.
Section V.A.1.b. provides that 15 points are available to previously
funded applicants on the basis of past performance. Previously funded
applicants could, therefore, reasonably conclude that 10 points are
available under section V.A.1.a., Knowledge and Experience.
Fair Housing Initiatives Programs [Page 27135]
On page 27145, under section V.A.1.b. entitled, ``Organizational
experience,'' HUD mistakenly stated that 10 points were available to
new applicants under this factor. Fifteen (15) points are available for
new applicants under this sub-factor. HUD believes that notice of the
number of points available to new applicants under this sub-factor was
evident from the discussion in section V.A.1. Specifically, section
V.A.1. provides that 25 points are available for rating factor 1.
Section V.A.1.a. provides that 10 points are available to new
applicants on the basis of number and expertise of staff. Section
V.A.1.c. provides that no points are available to new applicants under
this sub-factor. New applicants could, therefore, reasonably conclude
that 15 points are available under section V.A.1.b., Organizational
Experience.
On page 27146, under section V.A.1.c. entitled, ``Performance on
past project(s),'' a hard return was missed causing this sub-factor to
appear to be part of section V.A.1.b.(4). For the convenience of the
public, section V.A.1.c. is reprinted.
Fair Housing Initiatives Programs, Education and Outreach Initiative--
Partnership With Historically Black Colleges and Universities [Page
27157]
On page 27161, section IV.C., entitled ``Submission Dates and
Times,'' HUD incorrectly listed the date by which applicants must
submit their completed applications. Consistent with the due date
provided at paragraph F under ``Overview Information'' (page 27159) and
the HUD 2004 SuperNOFA Funding Chart, Appendix B to the General Section
(page 26999), the date by which applicants must submit their corrected
application is June 18, 2004.
Housing Counseling Programs [Page 27169]
On page 27172, under section II.C.2. entitled, ``Category 2,'' HUD
incorrectly noted that individual awards for HUD-approved National and
Regional intermediaries may not exceed $3.4 million. Similarly, HUD
incorrectly noted that supplemental funding for Colonias is $300,000.
The correct figures are $3.3 million and $200,000, respectively.
On pages 27173 and 27174 under section III.A.2.c., HUD incorrectly
provided that eligible sub-grantees of intermediaries and State Housing
Finance Agencies (SHFAs) must have only one location or main office
with one or more branch offices within the same state or no more than
two adjacent states. Sub-grantees do not need to meet this requirement
in order to be eligible sub-grantees of intermediaries and SHFAs.
Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) [Page 27359]
On page 27366, first column, paragraph d under the section
entitled, ``Submission Requirements for Factor 3,'' is corrected to
delete reference to form HUD-424C. Applicants are not required to
submit the HUD-424C as part of their application.
On page 27366, under ``Rating Factor 4: Leveraging Resources (10
Points)'' second to the last sentence of the introductory paragraph is
corrected to note that leveraging does not include the financing of
permanent mortgages.
Public Housing Neighborhood Networks [Page 27405]
On page 27407, section F under ``Overview Information'' entitled
``Dates'' the application due date is extended to August 17, 2004. If
you submitted an application for the Public Housing Neighborhood
Networks program, you will be provided the opportunity to resubmit your
application in accordance with the August 17, 2004, deadline date. The
address for submission remains unchanged. In the event that HUD
receives two or more applications from the same applicant, HUD will
only consider the application with the latest submission date.
On Page 27410, section III.C.3.b. entitled ``Joint applications,''
is being corrected to remove the requirement that non-lead applicants
are subject to the threshold requirements.
On Page 27411, section III.C.7. entitled ``Environmental Impact,''
subsection b is corrected to clarify the environmental requirements for
tribal housing agencies and tribal designated housing entities (TDHEs).
On Page 27412, section IV.E.2. entitled, ``Covered Salaries,'' a
correction is being made to provide that Neighborhood Networks grant
funds cannot be used to hire or pay for the services of a Contract
Administrator.
Public Housing Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency Program
[Page 27439]
On page 27441, section F under ``Overview Information'' entitled
``Dates'' the application due date for Resident Service Delivery
Models--Elderly/Persons with Disabilities is extended to August 3,
2004. Similarly, the application due date for Resident Service Delivery
Models--Family is extended to August 3, 2004. If you submitted an
application for any of these program NOFAs, you will be provided the
opportunity to resubmit your application in accordance with the
applicable, deadline date. The address for submission remains
unchanged. In the event that HUD receives two or more applications from
the same applicant, HUD will only consider the application with the
latest submission date.
On Page 27449, section III.C.4.c. entitled ``Joint Applications,''
HUD incorrectly provided that non-lead applicants would be subject to
the same threshold requirements as the lead applicant. A correction is
made to identify the threshold requirements that non-lead applicants
are required to meet.
Page 27450, section IV.E. entitled ``Funding Restrictions,'' a
correction is made to note that ROSS grant funds cannot be used to hire
or pay for the services of a Contract Administrator.
Page 27452, section V.A.1.b.(1) entitled ``Socioeconomic Profile (5
points),'' HUD mistakenly stated that 5 points were available to
applicants under this factor. Ten points are available under this sub-
factor. HUD believes that notice of the number of points available to
new applicants under this sub-factor was evident from the discussion in
section V.A.1.b. Specifically, section V.A.1.b. provides that 20 points
are available for rating factor 2. Since section V.A.1.b.(2) and
section V.A.1.B.(4) makes a total of 10 points available to RSDM-Family
and
[[Page 34880]]
Homeownership applicants, this group of applicants could, therefore,
reasonably conclude that 10 points are available under section
V.A.1.b.(1). Similarly, since section V.A.1.b.(3) and section
V.A.1.B.(4) makes a total of 10 points available to RSDM-Elderly/
Persons with disabilities applicants, this group of applicants could,
therefore, reasonably conclude that 10 points are available under
section V.A.1.b.(1).
Public Housing Family Self-Sufficiency [Page 27473]
On page 27478, section IV.B.2.(b)(2), a correction is made to
clarify the instructions on the assembly order of the application
package.
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs [Page 27495]
On pages 27505 and 27506, sections IV.B.1.b. and IV.B.1.c. are
corrected to clarify the instructions on the assembly order of the
application package.
On page 27506, under section IV.C.1.b., a correction is being made
to provide instruction on use of the HUD field office copy when a
portion of an applicant's application to HUD Headquarters may be
missing.
On page 27575, a correction is being made to the first page of
Exhibit 3, Project Component/Information/Participant Count/Major
Milestones (Form HUD-40076 CoC-3C) to remove extraneous information
that applicants need not provide.
Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing [Page 27683]
On page 27687, under section III.C.2.a., HUD is correcting a cross
reference that is in error.
Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program (Section 202
Program) [Page 27709]
On page 27711, section F under ``Overview Information'' entitled
``Dates'' the application due date is extended to July 22, 2004. If you
submitted an application for the Section 202 Program, you will be
provided the opportunity to resubmit your application in accordance
with the July 22, 2004, deadline date. The address for submission
remains unchanged. If the applicant resubmits its application as a
result of these technical corrections, HUD will only consider the
application with the latest submission date.
On page 27717, under section III.C.2.b.(3)(c), (i), clarification
is added, as a result of the extension of the application due date, to
advise applicants that a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
dated January 7, 2004, or later will meet the requirement for
submitting a Phase I ESA.

necessary plans for clean-up of a site that revealed contamination

of applications must be submitted to the HUD field office.

their instrumentalities, all applicants and their subrecipients must
comply with all Fair Housing and Civil Rights laws, statutes,
regulations, and Executive Orders as enumerated in 24 CFR 5.105(a), as
applicable. If you are a federally recognized Indian tribe, you must
comply with the non-discrimination provisions enumerated at 24 CFR

program-specific threshold requirements identified in the Program
Sections of the SuperNOFA.

as follows: b. For package submitted via the United States Postal
Service, proof of timely submission shall be a postmark not later than
