NOTICES

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Substantial Amendment to the 2019—2023 Consolidated Plan and 2019 Action Plan; Public Hearing

[54 Pa.B. 1554]
[Saturday, March 23, 2024]

 On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (Pub.L. No. 116-136) was signed into law to respond to the growing effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) public health crisis. The CARES Act provides special allocations to the Commonwealth under the Community Development Block Grant—Cares (CDBG-CV), Emergency Solutions Grant and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS Grant programs to be used to prevent, prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Annually, the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) prepares the Action Plan which outlines the methods of distribution for Federal funding received by the Commonwealth through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For the 2019 Action Plan, the Methods of Distribution to the Commonwealth's resources will be updated, which according to the Pennsylvania Citizen Participation Plan for the Consolidated Plan constitutes a change in the distribution of funds under the plan and requires an amendment to the original Consolidated Plan and Action Plan.

 The Department intends to substantially amend the CDBG-CV program listed in the 2019 Annual Action Plan.

 The proposed substantial amendment will reallocate $1,429,880 from the technical assistance line-item to be made available through funding opportunities for public infrastructure and public facility projects.
