File Number: 14-066 <br />Proposed Changes to the Draft of the FY 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan <br />HUD formally announced its final CDBG and HOME budgets for FY 2014-2015 after the City <br />conducted its March 17, 2014 public hearing on the Draft FY 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan. <br />Staff assumed last year’s CDBG and HOME funding levels in the Draft Action Plan because <br />HUD had not yet finalized its FY 2014-2015 budget at the time.
