Orange County completed the required notice and public hearing process earlier <br />and the Board of County Commissioners approved, by resolution, the FY 2018-2019 Annual <br />Action Update and proposed uses of funds on May 1, 2018. However, HUD allocated a funding <br />increase of $111,647 from the anticipated HOME budget advertised on March 13, 2018 and <br />discussed at the Board’s public hearing held on April 3, 2018. <br /> <br />Due to the substantial increase in funding, the County held another public hearing on June 5, <br />2018 as it relates to the additional funds received, revised budget and proposed use of funds. <br />In addition, there was a 30-day comment period from May 18, 2018 – June 18, 2018, which <br />allowed the general public to provide written comments and input on the increase in the HUD <br />HOME allocation and proposed revised uses of the funds to be received. Notices were placed <br />in The Herald-Sun, the News of Orange and La Noticia. Copies of the proposed revised <br />Annual Action Plan were made available at Orange County Housing and Community <br />1
