Consolidated Plan Improvement Initiative Summaries of CDBG-Only Working Group Meetings

Tuesday, July 22, 2002 - Key Issues Discussed

1. Access to PHA Information

	Access to the following PHA information would streamline ConPlan preparation: Deconcentration data. Demolition of PHA units. Loss of Section 8 units. Families on waiting list. Resident Characteristics Report. Availability of privately owned, affordable rental units.
	HUD CPD Office could assist grantees by: Informing grantees what information is currently available on the Internet. Working with HUD's PIH Office to give grantees access to this information.

2. Pilot No. 1: Combined ConPlan and PHA Plan

	Dual agencies (agencies that prepare both ConPlans and PHA Plans) often have different submission dates for both plans. Establishing the same submission dates and grant years for both plans would help streamline ConPlans.
	Working Group would ask Steering Committee to determine number of dual agencies at city and county levels. This would indicate the number of dual agencies that could benefit from this change.
	Prepare one plan combining PHA plan and ConPlan. This would require developing a new template. Possible location: Tempe, AZ.

	Would require developing a template.
	Possible location: Olympia Washington.
