THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

is initiating planning for the 2018 Annual Action Plan as part of its application for funding to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As part of this planning process, the County will conduct three Public Hearings to provide County residents with information on the application process for the FY 2018 Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. In addition, the meetings will serve as information gathering sessions on the need for homeless prevention services, homeless shelters, transitional housing, affordable housing development, housing and services for those with special needs, community services for low and moderate income communities, economic development and public facilities/infrastructure needs in low and moderate income neighborhoods. This is an opportunity for individuals and organizations to provide feedback to the County on the needs of low and moderate income residents, to learn about the programs and to be involved in determining how the County will use the approximately $3.5 million in allocations, from HUD to improve our community. The County encourages participation of all its residents, especially the involvement of very low income residents, minorities and non-English speaking persons and persons with mobility, visual or hearing impairments. Meeting places are handicap accessible. If you have a special need and require an accommodation in order to participate, please contact Emma Hertz at 610-278-3540 (TDD 610-631-1211). Advance notice of 72 hours is required for sign-language or non-English speaking interpreter services. 1.
