CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Pursuant to Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974, as amended, this Citizen Participation Plan is hereby adopted to
ensure that the citizens of the County of Weld, particularly persons of
low and moderate income residing in slum and blight areas and in areas in
which CDBG funds are proposed to be used, are provided the opportunity and
encouraged to participate in the planning and implementation of CDBG-funded
activities.
Public Hearings
Public hearings will be the primary means of obtaining citizen news and
responding to proposals and questions related to community development and
housing needs, proposed CDBG activities and past CDBG performance.
Prior to submitting a CDBG application to the State, the County of Weld
will conduct at least one public hearing to identify community development
and housing needs, including the needs of low and moderate income persons,
as well as other needs in the community that might be addressed through
the CDBG program, and to review proposed CDBG activities and the past
performance of the County of Weld in carrying out its CDBG responsibilities.
In the event CDBG funds are granted by the State, the County of Weld will
conduct at least one additional public hearing to allow citizens to review
and comment on its performance in carrying out its CDBG program.
Formal public notice will be provided at least five (5) days prior to such
public hearings. As circumstances warrant and as the County of Weld
determines necessary or appropriate, notice may additionally be specific-
ally directed to persons of low and moderate income, those benefitting
1 . from or affected by CDBG activities and/or representatives of such persons.
Hearings will be held at times and locations convenient to potential and
actual beneficiaries, and with accommodation for the handicapped. In the
case of public hearings where a significant number of non-English speaking
residents can be reasonably expected to participate, arrangements will be
made to have an interpreter present.
Public Information and Records
Information and records regarding the proposed and past use of CDBG funds
will be available at 315 N. 11th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631 (Weld County
Housing Authority) during regular office hours. The public will be so
informed by public notice.

Technical Assistance
The County of Weld will provide technical assistance to groups represent-
ative of persons of low and moderate income that request assistance in
developing CDBG proposals. The level and type of assistance appropriate
will be determined by the County of Weld based on its ability to provide
or arrange for such assistance, the cost of providing such assistance
and other relevant factors.
Written Comments and Responses
The County of Weld will respond to written complaints and grievances in
writing in a timely manner. When practicable, such written responses
shall be made within fifteen (15) working days.
