Of this total, $305 million was awarded in Shelter Plus Care assistance and $121 million was awarded under the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program. I am writing to confirm the conditional selection of your Shelter Plus Care application in the amount of $4 , 906, 800. This amount may be different than that announced in December. As you are aware, the amount of the Shelter Plus Care rental assistance is calculated based on the Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for your locality. Adjustments have been made in the grant amount to account for the change in FMRs that went into effect October 1, 1993 . If you have any questions concerning the amount of your grant, you may call the Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs at (202) 708-2140 . An explanation of the change in the grant amount is also being provided to the Shelter Plus Care representative in your Field, Office. You will be contacted shortly by your Field Office about what will be necessary for you to do to execute the grant. The success ofyour project is very important to homeless persons. We will work with you to ensure the rapid implementation and successful operation of your project. Congratulations on this award. ery sincere-1 yours, C An- drew C mo Assistant Secretary
