1. FY07 Allocations. The amounts are based on the use of the relevant AIDS surveillance data reported as of March 31, 2006, and as newly authorized in the Appropriation Act, the use of incidence data collected over a three year period (rather than the previous use of one year incidence data). The grant numbers should be similar to prior year numbering, expect for updating to reflect the new federal fiscal year (e.g. MAH07-F001). This continues past practice in numbering state grants with the number F999 and the grants to cities beginning with F001 within each State, continuing the number used for that city in the prior year.
   
   
2. HOPWA Performance Reports. The newly revised HOPWA Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), form HUD-40110-D, Revised 1/2006, was issued in January 2006 and formula grantees should begin using these new forms immediately, even if data is not yet available on all of the new data elements (note: training is being conducted on this matter to help plan collection efforts where new information is needed). Also, related enhancements have been issued in the IDIS 10.0 release, and these are available at:
   
   Revised CAPER
   
   
3. Obligation and Expenditure Time Frames. The FY2007 Appropriation Act requires that HOPWA formula funds be obligated by no later than September 30, 2008, and all such funds are to be expended within five years of the commitment, (i.e. not later than September 30, 2013).
   
   
4. Service Areas and Changes in Grantee. No changes in MSAs are noted. The Administrative Provisions permitting states to assume administrative responsibility for designated cities upon approval by HUD were authorized to continue. Please see the May 5, 2005, HOPWA Formula Operating Instructions for additional comments. Please consult with the Office of HIV/AIDS Housing if additional discussion is needed.
   
   
5. Technical Assistance. HOPWA national technical assistance providers were assigned to each CPD field office to provide for local support activities. You may contact the TA provider directly or send a request through the Office of HIV/AIDS Housing, as needed. This chart provides a list of these TA assignments.
