SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The renewal grant application notification to expiring permanent supportive housing grants was established in a Memorandum, entitled, ``Standards for Fiscal Year 2012 HOPWA Permanent Supportive Housing Renewal Grant Applications,'' issued on January 5, 2012. The HOPWA assistance made available in this notice 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 2012.

The 28 grant awards totaling $32,933,188 will provide housing and supportive services to an estimated 1,450 low-income households and their families living with HIV/AIDS. These grant applicants committed approximately $39.5 million in leveraging of other Federal, State, local, and private resources to provide additional supportive services for project beneficiaries. The awarded funding is to be used over a three year period to continue local permanent supportive housing efforts. The grant awards were announced on March 20, 2012. These grant activities compliment HUD's implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), HUD's Fiscal Year 2010-2015 Strategic Plan, and the Opening Doors Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. These award actions address goals to: Prevent and end homelessness; increase the supply of affordable housing; and increase the coordination of mainstream housing resources and other health and human services.
