Comments Welcome: Proposed Amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan
In accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105 and 24 CFR Part 5.158, the City of Boston released a draft of a proposed amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) for a 30-day public comment period. The CPP details how the City provides residents, community organizations, policymakers, and other interested parties the opportunity to learn about and participate in the planning, allocation and evaluation of the grant funds received annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing and community development programs.
This amendment proposes four changes to the current CPP:
- adds a reference to the HUD Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program;
- removes reference to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule terminated by HUD;
- restores CPP flexibilities granted under the CARES Act; and
- updates website links and adds a table summarizing the CPP statutory requirements.
Comments are welcome and accepted through May 4th and can be sent by email to: mohcomments@boston.gov, by calling 617-635-0363 (you may leave a voicemail), or by sending mail to:
