These funds, which you can receive through our new Consolidated Planning process, include resources under the following programs: Community Development Block Grants: $2,051,000 %, The HOME Program: $860,000 For HOPWA fund recipients, this year's appropriation contains language which may result in a 14.61 increase in your HOPWA allocation. Additional HOPWA funds could be released later this Fiscal Year. However, additional funding level is not guaranteed and this notification of a possible increase is provided for planning purpose only. We are entering our third year of the Consolidated Plan process. This milestone represents a more comprehensive and community -based approach to addressing urban problems. Successful implementation of this innovative process resulted from cooperation among HUD, citizens, and its state and local partners. For Fiscal Year 1997, we have initiated a grants management system within our Field Offices to systematically manage our $7 billion portfolio. It simplifies, combines, and streamlines existing internal procedures imbedded in a number of different CPD programs. The focus of the system is to address problems with our partners at every step in the annual grants management cycle. It emphasizes collection and dissemination of information on the "best practices" of our grantees that should serve as a basis for peer support, technical assistance, and program improvement. We look forward to working with you on the "best practices" that you develop with these funds in your local communities.
