To that end, we encourage your community to take all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing requirements associated with these funds. A copy of the county's Annual Action Plan was provided to the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity for review. If warranted, comments from that review will be provided under a separate cover.

As you know, the HOME program statute provides that funds are available to participating jurisdictions (PJs) for 24 months after the last day of the month in which HUD notifies the PJ of HUD's execution of the HOME Investment Partnerships Agreement. If not placed under a binding commitment to affordable housing within the 24-month period, the funds are to be deobligated. The statute also provides that at least 15 percent of each PJ's allocation must be reserved for investment in housing to be developed, sponsored, or owned by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). One of the most significant changes made by the 2013 HOME final rule was the elimination of non-project specific reservations to CHDOs. The term CHDO reservation in the rule refers to a commitment to a specific project to be owned, developed, or sponsored by a CHDO. It is critical that PJs remain cognizant of this change to ensure that they meet the 24- month CHDO reservation deadline requirement. ESG Guidance/Expenditure Deadlines and Change in Environmental Review Responsibilities The office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS) has provided training and guidance documents for recipients/subrecipient that can be accessed at www.hudexchange.info/esg. There are two critical deadlines set forth in the ESG program regulations. Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 576.55(b), requires that all ESG grant amounts be obligated by 180 days and expended by 24 months after the date of the grant award letter. Any grant amounts that are not obligated and expended by these dates may be recovered and reallocated for use in accordance with 24 CFR§576.67. These deadlines represent maximum time periods. We trust that each grantee will make every effort to obligate and expend all funds within these periods. On Friday, July 6, 2012, President Obama signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21' Century Act (MAP-21) (Public Law 112-141) into law. The law includes several changes to the homeless assistance programs under title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.). Among these changes, MAP-21 restores authorization for states and units of general local government to assume HUD's responsibilities for environmental review under 24 CFR §Part 58 (environmental reviews performed by states and units of general local government) for the Emergency Solutions Grants program (ESG). Based on this change, HUD revised the ESG grant agreement to incorporate the relevant provision of MAP-21 and provide that the grantee agrees to assume all of the responsibilities with respect to environmental review, decision making, and action required under HUD's regulations at 24 CFR §Part 58. This agreement will enable you to use the same environmental review procedures that have been required for all Emergency Shelter Grants. HUD will also 160 1 incorporate these procedures into the upcoming final rule for the Emergency Solutions Grants program. Under these procedures, each unit of general local government that receives ESG funds from HUD or a State, and each State that provides ESG funds to private nonprofit organizations, will carry out the environmental review responsibilities under Part 58. Also, each State that provides ESG funds to a unit of general local government will provide for the assumption of environmental review responsibilities by the units of general local government and act on their requests for release of funds.
