___________________________________ Citizen Participation Plan City of San Leandro Page 10 of 11 of section 24 CFR 91.600, HUD has the authority to extend this deadline if there is a determination of good cause. 6.5 Citizen Participation Plan Amendments 6.5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION: The CPP adoption and the amendment process for the CPP are the same. HUD regulations require that the City provide reasonable opportunity to the public to comment and present their views on the original CPP and Substantial Amendments to it. These Substantial Amendments may be made through the Citizen Participation process, meeting the definition of “Substantial Change”. Substantial Change for the Citizen Participation Plan is defined as: A change in the participation process stated in the original CPP for the Consolidated and Annual Action Plans, Substantial Amendments to them and the participation process for the CAPER. 6.5.2 THE PROCESS 1. Public Notice: A CPP Substantial Amendment(s) requires a public hearing including advance public hearing notification.

The publication shall also include a list of locations, as stated in Section 4.0, where the CPP amendments will be available to the public for review. Copies will be made available to the public upon request. Copies will also be made available in a format accessible to persons with disabilities, upon request. 2. Public Hearing: A public hearing to consider the amendments will be held on a date announced in the public notice. See Section 5.0 on public hearing requirements.

A substantive written response will be sent by the City within 15 working days of receipt of the comment. Citizens making the complaints will be encouraged to propose alternative solutions.
