severely distressed public housing
projects (or portions thereof); and,
beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, in
rejuvenating the traditional or historic
downtown areas of smaller units of local
government. Funds were appropriated
for competitive HOPE VI
Implementation Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFAs) through Fiscal
Year 2011. Currently, there are
approximately 55 HOPE VI
Implementation grants that remain
active and must be monitored by HUD.
HUD publishes competitive bi-annual
NOFAs for the HOPE VI Main Street
program and monitors grants that have
been awarded through those NOFAs.
These information collections are
required in connection with the
monitoring of the remaining active
HOPE VI Implementation grants and the
bi-annual publication on https://
www.grants.gov of HOPE VI Main Street
NOFAs, contingent upon available
funding and authorization, which
announce the availability of funds
provided in annual appropriations for
Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937,
as amended.
Eligible units of local government
interested in obtaining HOPE VI Main
Street grants are required to submit
applications to HUD, as explained in
each NOFA. The information collection
conducted in the applications enables
HUD to conduct a comprehensive,
merit-based selection process in order to
identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUDprescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient
information to approve or disapprove
applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI
Implementation grants are required to
report on a quarterly basis on the
sources and uses of all amounts
expended for Implementation grant
revitalization activities. HOPE VI
Implementation grantees use a fullyautomated, internet-based process for
the submission of quarterly reporting
information. HUD reviews and evaluates
the collected information and uses it as
a primary tool with which to monitor
the status of HOPE VI projects and the
HOPE VI programs.
