                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 91_CONSOLIDATED SUBMISSIONS FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 
PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart C_Local Governments; Contents of Consolidated Plan
 
Sec. 91.235  Special case; abbreviated consolidated plan.

    (a) Who may submit an abbreviated plan? A jurisdiction that is not a 
CDBG entitlement community under 24 CFR part 570, subpart D, and is not 
expected to be a participating jurisdiction in the HOME program under 24 
CFR part 92, may submit an abbreviated consolidated plan that is 
appropriate to the types and amounts of assistance sought from HUD 
instead of a full consolidated plan.
    (b) When is an abbreviated plan necessary?--(1) Jurisdiction. When a 
jurisdiction that is permitted to use an abbreviated plan applies to HUD 
for funds under a program that requires an approved consolidated plan 
(see Sec. 91.2(b)), it must obtain approval of an abbreviated plan (or 
full consolidated plan) and submit a certification that the housing 
activities are consistent with the plan.
    (2) Other applicants. When an eligible applicant other than a 
jurisdiction (e.g., a public housing agency or nonprofit organization) 
seeks to apply for

funding under a program requiring certification of consistency with an 
approved consolidated plan, the jurisdiction--if it is permitted to use 
an abbreviated plan--may prepare an abbreviated plan appropriate to the 
project. See Sec. 91.510.
    (3) Limitation. For the HOME program, an abbreviated consolidated 
plan is only permitted with respect to reallocations to other than 
participating jurisdictions (see 24 CFR part 92, subpart J). For the 
CDBG program, an abbreviated plan may be submitted for the HUD-
administered Small Cities program, except an abbreviated plan may not be 
submitted for the HUD-administered Small Cities program in the State of 
Hawaii.
    (c) What is an abbreviated plan?--(1) Assessment of needs, 
resources, planned activities. An abbreviated plan must contain 
sufficient information about needs, resources, and planned activities to 
address the needs to cover the type and amount of assistance anticipated 
to be funded by HUD.
    (2) Nonhousing community development plan. If the jurisdiction seeks 
assistance under the Community Development Block Grant program, it must 
describe the jurisdiction's priority non-housing community development 
needs eligible for assistance under HUD's community development programs 
by CDBG eligibility category, reflecting the needs of families for each 
type of activity, as appropriate, in terms of dollar amounts estimated 
to meet the priority need for the type of activity, in accordance with a 
table prescribed by HUD. This community development component of the 
plan must state the jurisdiction's specific long-term and short-term 
community development objectives (including economic development 
activities that create jobs), which must be developed in accordance with 
the statutory goals described in Sec. 91.1 and the primary objective of 
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5301(c), of 
the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing 
and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, 
principally for low-income and moderate-income persons.
    (3) Separate application for funding. In addition to submission of 
the abbreviated consolidated plan, an application must be submitted for 
funding is sought under a competitive program. The applicable program 
requirements are found in the regulations for the program and in the 
Notice of Funding Availability published for the applicable fiscal year. 
For the CDBG Small Cities program, the applicable regulations are found 
at 24 CFR part 570, subpart F.
    (d) What consultation is applicable? The jurisdiction must make 
reasonable efforts to consult with appropriate public and private social 
service agencies regarding the needs to be served with the funding 
sought from HUD. The jurisdiction must attempt some consultation with 
the State. (Section 91.100 does not apply.)
    (e) What citizen participation process is applicable? If the 
jurisdiction is seeking CDBG funds under the CDBG Small Cities program, 
before submitting the abbreviated consolidated plan and application to 
HUD for funding, the jurisdiction must comply with the citizen 
participation requirements of 24 CFR 570.431. If it is not seeking such 
funding, the jurisdiction must conduct a citizen participation process 
as provided in section 107 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 
Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 12707). (Section 91.105 does not apply.)
