City invites public comment on HUD funding recommendations
Thursday, May 7, 2020 by Tai Moses
The city has released its Draft Funding Recommendations for U.S. HUD Coronavirus Response, a set of recommendations for using $7.2 million in Housing and Urban Development funding, courtesy of the CARES Act. You have until May 13 to review and comment on the proposal. If you want to go deeper into the weeds, you can visit the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department’s HUD Funding webpage. The city is also seeking public comment on amendments to its Citizen Participation Plan, “which guides the steps undertaken to encourage community members to participate in the development of the city’s federal spending recommendations.” Those proposed amendments are here.
