Fulton Seeks Citizen Review and Comment Regarding Action Plan Amendment

September 17, 2019

Fulton County wants citizen comments about 2015, 2016 and 2018, funding awards of approximately $527,996.20, $667,072 and $861,925 respectively, in HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are earmarked to provide decent and affordable housing, with the primary intention to improve the living conditions of low- and moderate-income citizens of Fulton County.

 

As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Fulton County must publish any substantial changes to its Annual Action Plan for citizens' review and comment prior to decisions on project funding by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.

 

Proposed changes to HOME funded activities budgets will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match HUD's allocation amounts. The proposed activities and projects are pending final approval of the Action Plan by Fulton County's Board of Commissioners and as such, the proposed activities and projects may change
