Additional Backup Information:
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement grant funds must develop a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP). The CPP describes how the City will encourage community members to participate in the development of the City's federal reports for entitlement grants distributed by HUD. These reports include the Consolidated Plan, the Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
