A written response from the city is required in the form of a letter(on city letterhead) <br /> andlor Resolution. HUD wants original wet signatures, so emails are not acceptable for this request, <br /> If you choose to OPT-IN and remain a participant with Anoka County, the following will apply: <br /> • The grant process for your city will remain the same as it is now for CDBG and HOME programs; AND <br /> • Your city will continue to be ineligible to apply for individual grants through the HUD Small Cities or <br /> State CDBG and HOME programs; AND <br /> • The current Cooperation Agreement will automatically renew for another three-year period. <br /> If you choose to OPT-OUT and NOT remain a participant with Anoka County, the following will apply: <br /> * Your city will be able to apply for grants individually through the HUD Small Cities or State CDBG and <br /> HOME programs, BUT you will not be eligible to receive funds through Anoka County for federal fiscal <br /> years 2023 through 2025; AND <br /> * If you elect to be excluded this will be effective for the entire 3-year period for which Anoka County <br /> qualifies unless you specifically elect to be included in a subsequent year for the remainder of the <br /> county's 3-year qualification period. <br /> Respectful, Innovative, Fiscally Responsible <br /> Anoka County Government Center A 2100 3,d Avenue, Suite 700 A Anoka, MN 55303-5024 A wwwanokacounty.us/cd <br /> Office: 763-324-4650 & Fax: 763-324-5490 <br /> EQUAL HOUSING <br /> OPPORTUNITY Affirmative Action 1 Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
