Section 141.23. Community Development Plan

A program applicant shall submit a 3-year Community Development Plan (CDP) to the Department for review and approval.

(1) The CDP shall include an analysis of the following needs:

(i) The major communitywide housing needs, especially those pertaining to the needs of low- to moderate-income families and persons.

(ii) The major communitywide needs for public/community facilities and improvements which are eligible for assistance under this program.

(iii) The major public service communitywide needs.

(iv) The major communitywide economic development needs, particularly for areas and population groups experiencing significant unemployment or underemployment.

(2) The CDP shall list the needs identified in paragraph (1) in terms of their importance, considering their magnitude, severity and urgency.

(3) The CDP shall identify the priorities in paragraph (2) in terms of both short-term and longer-term objectives to be met. A short-term objective is one to be accomplished within the proposed project period specified in the grant application. A long-term objective is one to be met over the next 3 years and which is not included as a short-term objective.

(4) The CDP shall specify sources used to provide the information required in paragraph (1).

(5) Beginning with FFY 1985 entitlement grants, there are certain CDP requirements in addition to the 3 year CDP referenced in this subsection that pertain only to entitlement entities.

(i) Counties shall submit a CDP which includes provisions for each entitlement grant administered on behalf of another entitlement entity within the county. These CDP’s may be developed by the county in cooperation with the affected entitlement entities.

(ii) Eligible entitlement entities—regardless of population size—located within urban counties are responsible for developing and submitting their respective CDP’s directly to the Department.

(iii) In the case of waived entitlement grants, as permitted under section 8(d)(2) of the act (35 P. S. § 1758(d)(2)), a CDP is not required, but the applicant shall provide an outline of the activities proposed to be undertaken in future years if the proposed waiver is approved.

The provisions of this § 141.23 adopted May 3, 1985, effective May 4, 1985, 15 Pa.B. 1614; amended March 21, 1986, effective March 22, 1986, 16 Pa. B. 943. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (98879) to (98880).
