Board adopts amended CDBG/HOME citizen participation plan to raise thresholds for 'substantial' amendments
Summary
Marion County adopted an amended citizen participation plan for CDBG and HOME programs that raises the threshold for what qualifies as a "substantial amendment" (e.g., additions/deletions of entire projects or funding changes greater than 25% of annual allocation) and streamlines language to reduce unnecessary hearings while preserving HUD-required public participation.
Kelly Weese, Community and Economic Development director, presented a proposed amendment to Marion County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships citizen participation plan at the Jan. 28 board meeting, explaining that HUD requires jurisdictions that receive CDBG/HOME funding to maintain a participation plan governing public input.
