DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2012 Action Plan Amendment [46 Pa.B. 3267]
[Saturday, June 25, 2016]The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) proposes to amend the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2012. The amendment is warranted because of adding funding from the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) 2012 allocation to an activity that was not in the original method of distribution for that year, though the activity has been continuously executed by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (Agency) for the life of the Consolidated Plan of 2009—2013.
The Annual Action Plan (Plan) is submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as the annual application for Federal funds administered by the Commonwealth. The HUD funding programs covered by the Plan and administered by the Department are the Community Development Block Grant, HOME, the Emergency Solutions Grant programs, Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Also covered by the Plan is the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program which the Department of Health administers.
Amendment
This notice is to inform the citizens, local governmental officials and interested organizations of this Commonwealth that a minor amendment is being made to the 2012 Action Plan as submitted. This amendment does not constitute a substantial amendment as described in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Citizen Participation Plan to Develop the Consolidated Plan and Related Documents. This has been determined because the amendment only identifies $200,000 from the Agency's allocation being redirected from their Multi-family program to the Tenant Based Assistance Program, under the $1 million threshold for a substantial amendment. This activity was covered in the 2009—2013 Consolidated Plan and has been a continuous program of the Agency.
The amendment will be made available after June 25, 2016, at http://www.newpa.com (under ''The Library,'' select 2012 Action Plan Amendments.'') Readers may also contact the Department's Center for Community Development Operations at (717) 787-5327.
Questions or comments on this amendment may be electronically submitted to the Department at RA-DCEDcdbg&homequestions@pa.gov. Written comments should be submitted to Megan L. Snyder, Center for Compliance, Monitoring, and Training, Department of Community and Economic Development, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Commonwealth Keystone Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120-0225.
