SUBJECT: HOME Applicant Statement of Assurances and C ficati ns
DATE: January 18, 1996
The State Division of Housing has requested that we submit a revised Applicant Statement of
Assurance and Certifications for our current HOME contract. Originally, we submitted a generic
Certification with our application; however, the State requires the submission of a final
Certification to comply with HUD requirements.
The applicant Statement of Assurance and Certification details the regulations which must be
complied with in return for receiving Federal assistance.
The above actions are basically housekeeping issues concerning this years HOME/CDBG contracts.
Staff is recommending your approval of the above Statement of Assurance and Certification.
If you have any questions, please telephone me at 352-1551, Extension 6200.
