A bill to amend the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to strengthen certain provisions relating to low and moderate-income families.

Summary

Makes specified exceptions to such requirement. Requires such program to contain activities which are part of a comprehensive strategy of mutually supportive programs to benefit persons of low- and moderate-income and their neighborhoods. Requires applicants to demonstrate that prior to submission of such application applicants prepared and followed a citizen participation plan geared to maximize the opportunity for citizens, especially low and moderate income people and residents of blighted neighborhoods, to participate in the development of such application.
