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.)
