SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Compass Technical Assistance 
and Capacity Building program (Community Compass) represents HUD's 
integrated technical assistance and capacity building initiative. 
Community Compass is designed to help HUD's customers navigate complex 
housing and community development challenges by equipping them with the 
knowledge, skills, tools, capacity, and systems to implement HUD 
programs and policies successfully and be more effective stewards of 
HUD funding. The goal of Community Compass is to empower communities by 
providing effective technical assistance and capacity building so that 
successful program implementation is sustained over the long term.
    Recognizing that HUD's customers often interact with a variety of 
HUD programs as they deliver housing or community development services, 
Community Compass brings together technical assistance investments from 
across HUD program offices, including but not limited to the Office of 
Community Planning and Development, the Office of Housing, the Office 
of Public and Indian Housing, and the Office of Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity. This cross-funding approach allows technical assistance to 
address the needs of grantees and subgrantees across multiple HUD 
programs, often within the same engagement, as well as address cross-
agency issues.
    The competition was announced in the NOFA published on May 19, 
2016, (FR-6000-N-06) and closed on July 19, 2016. The NOFA announced 
the availability of approximately $58 million for HUD Community Compass 
Technical Assistance and Capacity Building awards. Applications were 
rated and selected for funding on the basis of selection criteria 
contained in the NOFA. For the Fiscal Year 2016 competition, 
$56,497,435.00 was awarded to 22 technical assistance providers 
nationwide.
    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 awardees and the amounts 
of the awards in Appendix A to this document.

    Dated: February 10, 2017.
Clifford Taffet,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
