Citizen Participation Plan: Your Voice
What is the Citizen Participation Plan?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires jurisdictions receiving HUD entitlement program funds to develop and adopt a Citizen Participation Plan. The purpose of the Citizen Participation Plan is to provide residents equal access to become involved in the development and administration of HUD entitlement programs. The proposed amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan will:
- Define policies and procedures for resident involvement;
- Clarify the requirement of Phoenix City Council action relative to amendments to the HUD required 5-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan;
- Detail the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) public hearing requirements; and
- In compliance with Executive Orders, remove language relative to fair housing and the analysis of impediments.
