Overview



	The Department of Children and Families (DCF) announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	April 13, 2009, 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

PLACE:	Conference Call: 1(888)808-6959, Conference Code: 9229760

Subject:	To discuss the proposed allocation of the State of Florida’s Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and to review the draft of the substantial amendment to the Action Plan. SUMMARY: The State of Florida is required to amend its Annual Action Plan and submit the amendment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive HPRP funding. To expedite the process and to ensure that the HPRP grants are awarded in a timely manner while preserving reasonable citizen participation, HUD is waiving the requirement that the grantee follow its citizen participation plan for this substantial amendment. HUD is shortening the minimum time for citizen comments and requiring the substantial amendment materials to be posted on the grantee’s official website as the materials are developed, published, and submitted to HUD. The Action Plan must specify the manner in which the funds will be distributed to eligible applicants. ACTION TO BE TAKEN: A draft of the substantial amendment to the Action Plan will be available for review and comment on April 13, 2009. It will be posted to http://flarecovery.com/about/state-and-local-projects/safety-net/homeless-prevention. Comments on the draft will be accepted from April 13, 2009 through April 24, 2009. Public Hearing on the draft of the substantial amendment to the Action Plan will be held by conference call:
