CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
This Citizen Participation Plan is hereby adopted to ensure that the citizens
of Weld County, Colorado, particularly persons of low and moderate income
residing in areas in which CDOH funds are proposed to be used, are provided
an opportunity and encouraged to participate in the planning and
implementation of CDOH-funded activities.
PUBLIC HEARING
Public Hearings will be the primary means of obtaining citizen views and
responding to proposals and questions related to community development and
housing needs, proposed CDOH activities and past CDOH performance.
Prior to submitting a CDOH application to the State, Weld County 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 CDOH activities and the past performance of
Weld County in carrying out it's CDBG program.
A formal public notice will be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the area at least five (5) days prior to such public hearings.
A public notice will also be posted in the Evans City Hall and in other
places frequented by the public, especially low and moderate income persons
and persons benefitting from or affected by proposed CDOH activities. As
circumstances warrant and as Weld County determines necessary or appropriate,
participation may additionally be specifically solicited from persons of low
and moderate income, those benefitting from or affected by CDOH 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 CDOH funds
will be available at the Evans City Hall during regular office hours. The
public will be so informed by public notice. Special communication aids can
be made available to persons on request.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The Weld County Housing Authority will provide technical assistance to groups
representative of persons of low and moderate income that request assistance
in developing CDOH proposals. The level and type of assistance appropriate
will be determined by the Weld County Housing Authority 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
Weld County 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.

RESIDENTIAL ANTIDISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN
for the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program and/or
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Weld County will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income
dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate income housing as a
direct result of activities assisted with HOME funds, as required by Section 105(b) of the Cranston -
Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act (42.U.S.C. 12705(b)) and or with CDBG funds, as
required by Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended
(the Act), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR 570.496a.
All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition
or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result
in such demolition or conversion, Weld County will make public and submit to the State the
following information in writing:
1. Description of the proposed assisted activity;
2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size
(number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as
low/moderate dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity;
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or
conversion;
4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size
(number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units;
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling
units; and,
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain in a
low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial
occupancy.
7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of housing units with
smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2 -bedroom unit with two 1 -bedroom units), or any
proposed replacement of efficiency or single -room occupancy (SRO) units with units
of a different size, is appropriate and consistent with the housing needs and
priorities identified in the approved Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CHAS).
To the extent that the specific location of the replacement housing and other date in items 4
through 7 are not available at the time of the general submission, Weld County will identify the
general location of such housing on a map and complete the disclosure and submission
970140
requirements as soon as the specific data are available.
Weld County Housing Authority at telephone number 356-4000 extension 4401 is responsible for
tracking the replacement of low/moderate income housing and ensuring that it is provided within
the required period.
The Weld County Housing Authority at telephone number 356-4000 extension 4401 i is responsible
for providing relocation payment and other relocating assistance to any low/moderate income
person displaced by the demolition of any housing or the conversion of low/moderate income
housing to another use.
The Weld County will provide relocation assistance, as described in 570.496a(b)(2), to each
low/moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a
low/moderate income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the Weld County
will take the steps indicated below to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:*
The following are examples of steps to minimize displacement. The first two are required. The others are
optional. Only check those which are appropriate for the project and local circumstances. Add other steps as
necessary or appropriate.
X Provide substantial levels of relocation assistance, as required by 24 CFR 570.496a(b)(2).
The substantial cost of providing such assistance serves as a strong deterrent to
unnecessary displacement.
X Replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income housing demolished or
converted as a direct result of HOME -assisted project activities, and make such replacement
housing affordable for at least ten years. The substantial cost of providing such
replacement housing serves as a strong deterrent to unnecessary displacement.
Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which may result in residential
displacement. Alternatives to be considered include other sites for the proposed
facilities/project. Also to be considered are the costs and benefits, both financial and
nonfinancial, of each alternative.
X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees find alternative housing in the
community.
Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for households facing
displacement.
X Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after
rehabilitation, working with empty buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be
rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before rehab on occupied units or buildings is
begun.
Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will
be of short duration, so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or
970140
new construction.
Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their
placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi -family
buildings.
Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with neighborhood_ organizations to
continuously review neighborhood development trends, identify displacement problems, and
identify individuals facing displacement who need assistance.
Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs.
Adopt policies to identify and mitigate displacement resulting from intensive public
investment in neighborhoods.
Adopt policies which provide reasonable protections for tenants faced with conversion to
a condominium or cooperative.
Adopt tax assessment policies, such as deferred tax payment plans, to reduce impact of
increasing property tax assessments on lowl.moderate income owner -occupant or tenants
in revitalizing areas.
