DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

2017 Consolidated Plan Annual Performance and Evaluation Report; Additional Public Comment Period

[48 Pa.B. 2282]
[Saturday, April 21, 2018]

 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) has prepared its 2017 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) on the progress and accomplishments made during the 2017 program year in implementing the Commonwealth's Consolidated Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2014—2018. This document must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth and organizations in this Commonwealth to receive funding under most HUD housing and community development programs. The Consolidated Plan creates a unified strategy for housing, homelessness and community development programs, as well as the necessary linkages for building successful neighborhoods and communities.

 The Commonwealth must provide its citizens the opportunity to comment on the findings of the CAPER for a minimum of 15 days. The CAPER was previously published (March 10, 2018, through March 23, 2018) for citizen comment at 48 Pa.B. 1428 (March 10, 2018). The time period did not meet the 15-day requirement and thus must be re-announced and citizens must be given the proper time period (April 22, 2018, through May 7, 2018) to comment.

 The Commonwealth has allocated funds under several programs, namely Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grant Program, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS Program and the Housing Trust Fund. Additionally, this CAPER will detail funding from 2017 under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program and the CDBG—Disaster Recovery Program. The CAPER discusses accomplishments in relation to goals and objectives identified in the 2017 Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan.

 The CAPER assesses the goals and objectives of this strategic plan, discusses how the Commonwealth is affirmatively furthering fair and affordable housing, reviews the activities of the Continuums of Care, and appraises how well resources in community development, homelessness and housing are being leveraged.

 Any individual or organization may provide written comments regarding this draft version of the CAPER. This report will be available on April 22, 2018, at http://dced.pa.gov or by calling (717) 720-7404. Written comments will be accepted about the CAPER content, and the process by which public input is gathered. The Commonwealth encourages public participation in this process.
