Pursuant to 24 CFR 91, the Kauai County Housing Agency will also receive comments on the upcoming 5-year Consolidated Plan (CP) for program years 2025-2030 and Annual Action Plan (AAP) for program year 2025. The purpose of the CP and the AAP is to ensure that jurisdictions receiving federal assistance develop viable communities including decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The CP focuses on three areas of concern: housing, homelessness, and community development. To receive funds made available under certain HUD programs, the County must have a housing strategy and CP that has been approved by HUD. Interested persons are invited to attend the public workshops and provide comments. Written comments may be mailed to 4444 Rice Street, Suite 330, Lihue, HI 96766 or emailed to kbarros@kauai.gov. All comments will be considered in preparing the County’s CP 2025-2030 and AAP 2025. Closed captioning services will be available for the video teleconferencing workshop. If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodations due to a disability, call 241-4444 or email housing@kauai.gov as soon as possible, preferably ten (10) days prior to the workshop date. If a response is received after that, we will try to obtain the auxiliary aid/service or accommodation, but we cannot guarantee that the request will be fulfilled. Upon request, this notice is available in alternate formats such as large print, Braille or electronic copy. By Order of the Mayor (TGI1467230 9/12/24) |
