Fulton County Invites Citizen Comment on Proposed Amendments to the 2016, 2017 and 2018 HUD Annual Action Plans

February 05, 2020

The Fulton County Department of Community Development invites citizens to review and comment on proposed amendments to the 2016, 2017 and 2018 HUD Annual Action Plans for the HOME Investments Partnership Program funding distribution. Citizens can submit written comments or attend public hearings regarding the reprogramming of funds from February 5, 2020 until March 6, 2020.

In 2016, 2017 and 2018, Fulton County received approximately $667,072, $685,286 and $793,500 respectively, in HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide decent and affordable housing, with the primary goal of improving the living conditions of low- and moderate-income citizens of Fulton County. Reprogramming of these funds will allow the County to provide down payment and closing cost assistance to first-time home-buyers in Fulton County who, can afford monthly payments but do not have enough money to put down for the initial purchase.
