BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: The CDBG urban county qualification process for the FY 2022-2024 qualification period began in March 2021 and runs through September 10, 2021. This will provide HUD sufficient time before the September 30th deadline for FY 2022 funding under the HOME Program to notify counties that they qualify as urban counties under the CDBG Program. The County can choose to defer its status and have the opportunity to accept Urban County Entitlement status in the future year, provided that it continues to meet the statutory and regulatory criteria for such designation in effect at that time.
