Dear Mr. Martinez:
SUBJECT: Shelter Plus Care Program
Project Number: CA39C93-1204
On December 22, 1993, President Clinton and Secretary
Cisneros announced the award of nearly $424 million in Housing;
and Urban Development (HUD) grants earmarked to increase
permanent housing assistance to homeless families and individuals
across the country. 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
