The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of
Community Planning and Developments (CPD) confirms with this letter that Weld County in its
successful completion of the urban county qualifications for the FY 2021 though FY 2023
Community Development Block Grant program as outlined in HUD's CPD-20-03 notice. As a
qualifying urban county, Weld County will be entitled to receive funds for three consecutive
fiscal years starting in Federal Fiscal Year 2021, provided funds are appropriated by Congress
and the county submits its plan by August 16 of each year, and regardless of changes in its
population or boundary nor population changes in any communities contained within the urban
county during that period. Please note that during the period of qualification, no included unit of
general local government may withdraw from the urban county unless the urban county does not
receive a grant for any year during such period. Likewise, any unincorporated portion of the
county that incorporates during the urban county qualification period will remain part of the
urban county through the end of the three-year period.
You are reminded that certain activities are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR Part 58
(Environmental Review Procedures). Funds for such activities may not be obligated or expended
until HUD has approved the release of funds in writing. A request for release of funds (RROF)
must be accompanied by an environmental certification, and until the RROF is approved and
notification is received, no HUD funds should be committed. If the project or activity is exempt
per 24 CFR 58.34 or categorically excluded (except in extraordinary circumstances), no RROF is
required.
