Download as PDF 32194 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 12, 2017 / Notices 2. The approximate number of veterans the qualified organization intends to serve using grant funds; 3. A description of the type of work that will be conducted, such as interior home modifications, energy efficiency improvements, and other similar categories of work; and 4. A plan for working with the VA and veterans service organizations to identify veterans who are not eligible for programs under 38 U.S.C. 2101 et seq. and meet their needs. Grantees will be required to provide matching funds and/or in-kind contributions as provided under section 1079(b)(6) of the Program Statute. Specifically, at least 50 percent of each grant must be matched by non-Federal funding contributions and in-kind contributions to the housing modification and rehabilitation services provided under the Program. The Program will also include detailed reporting requirements for both HUD and grantees, as provided under section 1079(b)(8) of the Program Statute. In addition to the Program Statute, the Program will also be subject to laws and regulations that apply across HUD’s programs. For example, program grantees will be required to follow the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards at 2 CFR part 200, and program grantees will be subject to the Federal laws and regulations identified in 24 CFR 5.105. Grantees will also be subject to the requirements described by HUD’s FY 2017 General Section to its NOFAs, which is available at: https:// www.hudexchange.info/resources/ documents/FY-2017-NOFA-PolicyRequirements-and-General-Section.pdf. Maximum grant amount per organization is $1,000,000. Total funds available are $5,700,000. To assist HUD in developing a NOFA that makes maximum use of the assistance appropriated for this program, HUD seeks comments on the following questions: asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES A. Criteria for Veterans —What considerations should HUD make in determining veteran eligibility? Should HUD limit eligibility to veterans who have a disability and are low-income in order to provide the most benefit to veterans with the limited funding available under the program? B. Criteria for Grantees —What criteria should be used to evaluate an eligible organization’s VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Jul 11, 2017 Jkt 241001 capacity? Should HUD consider the organization size? Should HUD consider the regions the organizations serve? Should HUD consider how long the organization has existed? Should HUD consider the capacity of the organization to provide housing rehabilitation and modification and the organization’s past performance? If so, how should HUD measure capacity and past performance? —Should HUD provide a preference for qualified nationwide or statewide organizations that serve veterans, lowincome individuals, or both? Are there thresholds that HUD should use to ensure that the organization primarily serves disabled and lowincome veterans? C. Use of Funds —Given the limited funding, how should HUD structure the program or NOFA to minimize duplication or overlap and maximize coordination with other existing programs for veterans? —Given the limited funding for the program, should HUD structure the program to take into account the severity of eligible veteran’s disability-related need for a modification or rehabilitation of the home? If so, how? —Should HUD aim to fund more extensive housing modification and rehabilitation services, which may serve fewer disabled and low-income veterans, or less extensive housing modification and rehabilitation services, which may reach a larger number of disabled and low-income veterans? What considerations should HUD take into account to ensure that property rehabilitation costs are not unreasonably high? —Are there rehabilitation services that HUD should consider an eligible use of funds beyond those listed in section 1079(b)(3) of the Program Statute? —In determining whether the veteran currently resides and reasonably intends to continue residing in a primary residence owned by the veteran or a family member of the veteran, what criteria should HUD consider? Should HUD require that the veteran or family member own the home for a specific period of time before qualifying for the program? How long should HUD require the veteran to continue residing in the home after the housing modification or rehabilitation services are provided? How can HUD ensure that the veteran remains in his or her home after the housing modification PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 or rehabilitation services are provided? —What criteria and metrics should be used by HUD to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the use of funds by qualified organizations? D. Matching Grant Funds —Should HUD require grantees to provide matching funds that are more than 50 percent of the grant award received by that organization? Should HUD provide a preference for grantees that contribute more than 50 percent? What types of in-kind contributions should HUD permit to assist a qualified organization meet its match? Should HUD limit the amount of inkind contributions permissible to meet the 50 percent match requirement? While HUD specifically seeks comment on the foregoing questions, HUD welcomes additional information that will help inform the Program. Dated: June 29, 2017.
