The Substantial Amendments include budget changes for Administration, Operating, Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA), Construction, and Short Term Rent, Mortgage and Utility (STRMU) activities.
In accordance with HCDD’s Citizen’s Participation Plan, the City is required to amend components of its Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan for a variety of reasons, including when a reallocation of funds increases or decreases the budget of an activity by more than 25% or when an activity is added or deleted from the Plan(s).
