of Supportive Housing, HCD Division is proposing a substantial amendment to the
adopted Fiscal Year 2020 (FY19/20) Annual Action Plan which covers the period of

goals and strategies for the use of housing resources including federal, state,
local and private resources for the provision of housing assistance to
extremely low, low and very low income persons including the homeless as well
as establishing other community development needs such as Capital Projects,
Public Services, and Fair Housing services.

adopted action plan and projects, the County must submit a substantial
amendment plan to its Fifth Annual Action Plan.

substantial amendments as long as the public is provided with no less than 5
days to comment on the change. This
requires an update of the County’s Adopted Citizen Participation Plan. A draft of the amended Citizen Participation
