 Pre-Applications for HPG FundingPALIKIR, Pohnpei (FSM Information Service): April 3, 1997 - In the January 7, 1997, Federal Registry, it was announced that Rural Housing Service (RHS) (formerly Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) would accept pre-applications for HPG Funding from January 7, 1997 through April 7, 1997. This 90-day period will be the only time during the current fiscal year that interested organizations or public agencies may apply for this program according to a release from RHS. Pre-applications should indicate whether the proposal is to assist either individual homeowners, rental properties, or cooperative housing projects: the pre-application may not combine a proposal. However, an application may submit more than one type of pre-application. Western Pacific has received an initial allocation of $80,000. No entity can receive more than 50 percent of the initial allocation and more funds will be allocated. Grant requests may range from a high dollar to low dollar amount as long as the pre-application is economically feasible and administratively sound to operate.
