Regional Housing Advisory Committee Meetings; 2025 Annual Action Plan
[54 Pa.B. 6270]
[Saturday, October 5, 2024]The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is preparing the Commonwealth's 2025 Annual Action Plan. The document must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth to receive funding under HUD's housing and community development programs of Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grant Program, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS, the National Housing Trust Fund and Recovery Housing Program.
As part of the planning process, the Department conducts meetings across this Commonwealth to discuss regional needs for housing, homelessness, economic and community development issues and develop priorities for the programs that may affect the method of distribution of the Fiscal Year 2025 funding. In addition, the Department goes over the accomplishments of the year prior (2024) in these programs and discusses if the Commonwealth is meeting its 5-year goals and objectives as listed in the 2024—2028 Consolidated Plan. The first of these meetings is the Regional Housing Advisory Committee (RHAC) meetings.
There are six RHACs across this Commonwealth comprising appointed members that represent specific sectors of the region. Meetings of these RHACs are open to the public under 65 Pa.C.S. §§ 701—716 (relating to Sunshine Act). These RHACs advise the Department regarding housing, homelessness, economic and community development needs, as well as assisting in fair housing planning. The RHAC meetings will take place virtually by means of Microsoft Teams on the following dates and times. For those individuals interested in attending the meetings in person, RSVP to David Grey at (717) 214-5341, dgrey@pa.gov, at least 1 day prior to the scheduled meeting so accommodations can be made.
