HUD regulations state that the Section 108 Loan Citizen Participation Plan may be incorporated into the City's existing citizen participation plan for the Consolidated Plan provided that it complies with the requirements delineated in 24 CFR 570.704 (A) (2). Note that HUD regulations state that the City is not required to hold a separate public hearing for its Consolidated Plan and for the Section 108 Loan process to obtain citizens' views on community development and housing needs. To the extent that it is feasible, it is the City's intent to combine these two process as allowed by federal regulations.
