That City Council approve the revised Escambia Consortium Citizen Participation Plan for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs for purposes of incorporating updated language regarding the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, including provisions relative to waivers provided under the CARES Act, and making minor edits to align with federal regulations.

SUMMARY:

                                          

All jurisdictions receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) are required to adopt a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) which must include HUD’s minimum requirement as stated in 24 CFR Part 91.105.  The CPP was last updated in 2010 and requires revisions to include the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule as well as newly offered waivers provided under the CARES Act.  Minor revisions are being made to update contact information, removal of references to the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, and inclusion of items such as technical assistance as required by HUD guidance. 

 

The goal of the CPP is to provide citizens an opportunity to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, and the development of strategies for the integration of activities under the CDBG and HOME Programs.  The CPP ensures adequate opportunity for community wide participation in planning, developing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating activities related to housing and community development undertaken through the Escambia Consortium.  The Escambia Consortium consists of the City of Pensacola, Escambia County, Santa Rosa County, and the City of Milton.
