Legal Notice – Notice of DRAFT Performance Report Update and Comment Period on the State of Maryland’s Consolidated Plan (CAPER)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notice is hereby given that the State of Maryland has opened a 30 day public comment period on the draft Consolidated Plan Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).<\/p>\n

The Consolidated Plan is a planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is prepared by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). It covers a five year period (July 1, 2015-June 30, 2019) and is\u00a0designed to coordinate Federal, and to a lesser extent State, resources to provide decent\u00a0housing, economic opportunities, and an acceptable living environment for Maryland’s citizens.\u00a0The Plan is updated every year during the five year period through an Annual Action Plan, and\u00a0includes a series of one year goals toward meeting the overall five year goals of the Plan.<\/p>\n

Maryland’s Consolidated Plan covers the state’s non-entitlement jurisdictions. Entitlement jurisdictions – those that receive funding directly from HUD, including Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, and the Cities of Annapolis, Baltimore, Bowie, Cumberland, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Hagerstown, and Salisbury – prepare their own Consolidated Plans and are not covered by the State plan.<\/p>\n

As part of the Consolidated Planning process, the State submits a CAPER to HUD which describes the progress the State has made in carrying out the one-year goals contained in the five year Plan. DHCD has just completed the fourth year of the five year Plan that ended June 30, 2018, and the draft CAPER details the progress DHCD made toward it housing and community development goals both in the last year and for the full five years of the Plan.<\/p>\n

DHCD is interested in public input and comment on the draft CAPER. We will take written comments (via either email or standard post) on the report\u00a0through COB Friday, November 09, 2018\u00a0at the address listed below. In addition, we will hold a series of public meetings on the CAPER at the following dates, times, and places:<\/p>\n
