Let Your Voice Be Heard: Citizen Participation Plan Amendment

What is the Citizen Participation Plan Amendment? 

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 of all ages, genders, economic levels, races, ethnicities and special needs equal access to become involved in the development and administration of HUD entitlement programs. The proposed amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan will:

·      Further define policies for resident involvement;

·      Detail Phoenix City Council action relative to Plan amendments; and

·      Clarify public hearing requirements.
