Department of Housing and Urban Development September 6, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this announcement notifies the public of funding decisions made by the Department for funding under the SuperNotice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2002. This announcement contains the names and addresses of those award recipients selected for funding based on the rating and ranking of all applications and the amount of the awards.

On September 19, 2005, HUD published a final rule entitled, ``Revisions to the Public Housing Operating Fund Program,'' which established a new formula for determining operating subsidies for public housing agencies (PHAs) and requiring that PHAs with 250 or more units convert to asset management. This notice clarifies and provides interim guidance pertaining to various aspects of public housing's conversion to asset management. The interim guidance provided in this notice is intended to assist all PHAs that operate federal public housing. Special provisions are included in the notice to assist small PHAs with less than 250 public housing units that are not subject to asset management conversion. HUD is soliciting public comment on this interim guidance and, based on the comments received, will issue final guidance and commence rulemaking, as appropriate, on the asset-based management requirements. Until such time as final guidance is issued or rulemaking commenced, PHAs should refer to the interim guidance provided by this notice to assist in their conversion to asset-based management.
