Public Participation
Participating jurisdictions (PJs) must provide for and encourage citizen participation in the
development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan. Before submission of the plan, PJs must
provide residents with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the
proposed HOME-ARP allocation plan of no less than 15 calendar days. The PJ must
follow its adopted requirements for “reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment”
for plan amendments in its current citizen participation plan. In addition, PJs must hold at
least one public hearing during the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan and
prior to submission.
For the purposes of HOME-ARP, PJs are required to make the following information
available to the public:
