To administer federal funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESGP) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs, New York State must prepare an Annual Action Plan (AAP). New York State’s next AAP will describe the State’s anticipated use of federal CDBG, HOME, ESGP and HOPWA funds in 2009 to address affordable housing and community development needs identified in its Consolidated Plan for 2006-2010. This AAP will also describe the State’s methods for distributing these funds to local grantees.
Interested individuals and organizations are encouraged to participate in the development of New York State’s 2009 AAP by submitting written comments to DHCRConPln@dhcr.state.ny.us. All written comments must be received by June 10, 2008.
