DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Consolidated Plan Public Meeting and Regional Housing Advisory Committee Meetings

[40 Pa.B. 5349]
[Saturday, September 18, 2010]

 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is preparing the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011 and the Program Year that begins January 1, 2011. The 2011 Action Plan is an update of the Commonwealth's Consolidated Plan for FFY 2009-2013. Additionally, the Department is preparing a substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Both documents must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth and organizations within this Commonwealth to receive funding under most HUD housing and community development programs. The Consolidated Plan creates a unified strategy for housing and community development programs, as well as the necessary linkages for building successful neighborhoods and communities.

 The Commonwealth's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan addresses how the Commonwealth intends to allocate funds under the following programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Shelter Grant, Community and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Grant.

Public Meeting

 A public meeting will be conducted electronically by means of the Internet. The format will be more accessible than an in-person meeting because those who wish to make a comment or discuss policy may participate directly from their personal computer or from a computer location at their public library on Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Access to the discussion by means of the Internet will occur between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. This more widely available personal computer access will replace the usual public meeting.

 Any individual or organization may give testimony or comments by means of the Internet. Comments will be accepted about topics related to community development, housing, plans for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, the content of the Commonwealth's Action Plan for FFY 2011 and the process by which the public input is gathered. The Commonwealth encourages public participation in this process.
