Title
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING FISCAL YEAR (“FY”) 2020 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT for the purpose of amending the Prince George’s County Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2020 Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development by adding eligible Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) activities not originally funded or described in the FY 2020 Annual Action Plan.
Background
This Resolution will amend the Prince George’s County Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2020 Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development by adding new Community Development Block Grant COVID-19 Round 3 (“CDBG-CV”) Program activities, eligible activities not originally funded or described in the FY 2020 Annual Action Plan.
As part of the efforts to address a wide variety of needs including providing shelter to homeless individuals, increasing affordable housing options, and maintaining crucial public services during the current public health outbreak (COVID-19), Congress designated funding to federal entitlement programs, allocated through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). Specifically, Prince George’s County is designated to receive additional funding totaling $4,086,220 in Community Development Block Grant Program COVID-19 Round 3 Funds.
This Resolution requires at least one (1) public hearing because the proposed amendment to the FY 2020 Annual Action Plan would constitute a “substantial change” under the FY 2021-2025 County Citizen Participation Plan, as described in the County’s FY 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan.
