I must ask for your help once again, HUD has required us (the chair) to sign a new certification (attached). They updated the Section 3 regulations (see email below) and therefore we must sign the updated certification and attach it to the previous Assurances (also attached) document. Let me know what I must do to help get this accomplished.

From: Potter, Samuel L <Samuel.L.Potter@hud.gov> Sent: Friday, September 10, 2021 4:27 PM To: Don Sandoval <dosandoval@weldgov.com> Subject 2021 ConPlan/AAP Certification Cap on: This email originated from outside of Weld County Government. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello Don, Midway through the 2021 AAP submission process, the attached required ConPlan/AAP Certification was updated to include the new Section 3 regulations at 24 CFR 75, as implemented by the Final Rule. The update to the certification on HUDExchange and as communicated by your Rep may have occurred after you had submitted your documents to your elected official for signature. CPD HO is requiring that all 2021 formula grantees have a current CDBG certification on file for the 2021 AAP year. While we are frustrated by yet another change, we are also charged with ensuring compliance. We strive to make it as easy as possible. Step 1: Verify whether your submitted cert references Part 135 (outdated) or Part 75 (correct). If correct, send me a confirmation response. If outdated, then: Step 2: Provide the attached updated certification to your authorized official for signature and date. Step 3: Retain/record with your SF -424s and other certifications; you may want to submit a minor amendment to your 2021 AAP to include the updated attachment. Step 4: Email the PDF cert to cpddenver@hud.gov we understand that this is at best an inconvenience and at most a lengthy signature process that you will have to manage. Your timely return of this document to the cpddenver@hud.gov email is greatly appreciated. Thank you and I hope you are having a great weekend!
