HUD programs may also be obtained from the HUD Home Page on the World
Wide Web. In addition to this competitive selection, 120 jurisdictions
received formula based allocations during the 2007 fiscal year for
$256.1 million in HOPWA funds. Descriptions of the formula programs may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FY2007 SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding
Availability) for HUD's Discretionary Grant Programs was published in
the Federal Register on March 13, 2007 (72 FR 11661). The NOFA
announced the availability of approximately $28.4 million in HOPWA
competitive grant funding.
The purpose of the HOPWA NOFA announcement was to solicit
applications for two types of HOPWA competitive grants: (1) Awards for
new long-term projects for permanent supporting housing and
transitional housing projects from states and units of local government
and balance of state areas not eligible for HOPWA formula funding; and
(2) awards for new Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS)
demonstration grants. As in FY2006, the procedure for expiring
permanent supportive housing grants that are eligible for renewal was
established in a separate Notice entitled, ``Standards for Fiscal Year
2007 HOPWA Permanent Supportive Housing Renewal Grant Applications.''
The HOPWA assistance made available in the announcement is authorized
by the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12901), as amended by
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550,
approved October 28, 1992) and was appropriated by the HUD
Appropriations Act for 2007. The competition was announced in a NOFA
published in the Federal Register March 13, 2007 (72 FR 11661). Each
application was reviewed and rated on the basis of selection criteria
published in the NOFA.
Public Benefit: The award of HOPWA funds to the 27 renewal and 4
new project awards contribute towards HUD's mission in providing
housing support that results in the provision of safe, decent, and
affordable housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families
who are at risk of homelessness. The selected projects will provide
housing assistance to an estimated 2,200 units/households for low-
income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The 31 grant
awards total $32,123,248 and the selected grant applicants have
reported the commitment of approximately $41.8 million in leveraging of
other Federal, State, local, or private resources to provide additional
supportive services for project beneficiaries.
In accordance with 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), the Department is publishing the details of these funding
grant announcements in Appendices A and B.
