2019 & 2020 Action Plan

Notice of Filing and Public Hearing to Amend the 2019 & 2020 Action Plan 

Notice is hereby given that the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) plans to amend the 2019 and 2020 Action Plan to respond to community needs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These amendments make adjustments to OCRA’s COVID-19 Response program to respond to COVID-19 effects for FY 2019, and continue FY 2019 scoring criteria for Round 1 of 2021 which is part of the FY 2020 allocation.

These documents concern programs that are funded through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) under Title I of the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974 as amended. These amendments establish spending priorities for FY 2019 and FY 2020. The FY 2019 amendment establishes criteria for the distribution of roughly $51 million in community development funds allocated by the CARES Act for the Community Development Block Grant Program. For FY 2020, the amendment makes adjustments to the year’s allocation as it relates to Round 1 of 2021.

These amendments will be discussed as part of the FY 2021 Action Plan virtual public hearings at 10:00 AM ET, March 30, 2021 and 5:00 PM ET, March 30. Meetings will be held via GoToMeeting.
