This plan is <br />developed primarily base~~`-va~etne~ '~. ``~"'~ sand fundin <br />g g <br />requests received from local housing non-profit, organizations. Once the program is designed, it <br />is presented to all local governing boazds for approval. That process has occurred in April and <br />May of previous years. <br />As you may recall, during the last program approval process, questions were raised by local <br />elected officials regarding the process for development of the HOME Program Annual Plan. <br />There is some concern that local elected officials are only involved at the time that approval is <br />necessary in order to meet HUD deadlines. Thus, in order to facilitate the involvement of elected <br />officials in the plan development stages, l am proposing the following process: <br />A HOME Program Review Committee would be formed comprised of the <br />manager or his/her designee from each participating government and one (1) <br />elected official from each jurisdiction. This group would meet at least quarterly <br />to discuss program activities and to develop future spending plans. <br />
