1232 Notice of a substantial amendment for the 2014 Action Plan changes to the HOME Program method of distribution
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Notice of a Substantial Amendment for the 2014 Action Plan Changes to the HOME Program Method of Distribution [45 Pa.B. 3552]
[Saturday, July 4, 2015]Notice is hereby given for a public comment period to review the proposed substantial amendment to the Commonwealth's Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2014 HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). The public comment period is from July 4, 2015, through August 3, 2015.
Annually the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) prepares the Action Plan which outlines the method of distribution for Federal funding received by the Department. This Federal funding includes the HOME program. An Action Plan for these funds was finalized and submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on July 7, 2014, and an amendment was submitted to HUD on July 1, 2015. The Department is proposing changes to the method of distribution for the HOME, which according to the Pennsylvania Citizen Participation Plan for the Consolidated Plan, constitute a significant change in the distribution of funds under the program and thus necessitate a substantial amendment to the original action plan.
The substantial amendment to the Action Plan and supporting documentation is available for a 30-day public comment period and can be viewed on the Department's web site at http://www.newpa.com/. The text is available to sight and hearing-impaired persons using technological assisted devices by means of the Department's previously listed web site. A translation into Spanish will also be available on the Department's web site for citizen comment. The final version of the substantial amendment will be submitted to HUD no later than August 6, 2015.
Persons who would like to provide written comment on the draft substantial amendment to the 2014 Action Plan may send those comments electronically to RA-DCEDcdbg&homequestions@pa.gov or mail to the attention of Megan L. Snyder, Department of Community and Economic Development, Center for Community Financing, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120. Comments must be received before 4 p.m. on August 3, 2015.
