Sec. 91.100  Consultation; local governments.


    (a) General. (1) When preparing the consolidated plan, the 
jurisdiction shall consult with other public and private agencies that 
provide assisted housing, health services, and social services 
(including those focusing on services to children, elderly persons, 
persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, 
homeless persons) during preparation of the consolidated plan.
    (2) When preparing the portion of its consolidated plan concerning 
lead-based paint hazards, the jurisdiction

shall consult with State or local health and child welfare agencies and 
examine existing data related to lead-based paint hazards and 
poisonings, including health department data on the addresses of housing 
units in which children have been identified as lead poisoned.
    (3) When preparing the description of priority nonhousing community 
development needs, a unit of general local government must notify 
adjacent units of general local government, to the extent practicable. 
The nonhousing community development plan must be submitted to the 
state, and, if the jurisdiction is a CDBG entitlement grantee other than 
an urban county, to the county.
    (4) The jurisdiction also should consult with adjacent units of 
general local government, including local government agencies with 
metropolitan-wide planning responsibilities where they exist, 
particularly for problems and solutions that go beyond a single 
jurisdiction.
    (b) HOPWA. The largest city in each eligible metropolitan 
statistical area (EMSA) that is eligible to receive a HOPWA formula 
allocation must consult broadly to develop a metropolitan-wide strategy 
for addressing the needs of persons with HIV/AIDS and their families 
living throughout the EMSA. All jurisdictions within the EMSA must 
assist the jurisdiction that is applying for a HOPWA allocation in the 
preparation of the HOPWA submission.
    (c) Public housing. The jurisdiction shall consult with the local 
public housing agency participating in an approved Comprehensive Grant 
program concerning consideration of public housing needs and planned 
Comprehensive Grant program activities. This consultation will help 
provide a better basis for the certification by the local Chief 
Executive Officer that the Comprehensive Grant Plan/annual statement is 
consistent with the local government's assessment of low-income housing 
needs (as evidenced in the consolidated plan) and that the local 
government will cooperate in providing resident programs and services 
(as required by Sec. 968.320(d) of this title for the Comprehensive 
Grant program). It will also help ensure that activities with regard to 
local drug elimination, neighborhood improvement programs, and resident 
programs and services, funded under the public housing program and those 
funded under a program covered by the consolidated plan are fully 
coordinated to achieve comprehensive community development goals.
