§ 950.231 - Project coordination.

(a) Project coordination meeting. Upon notification of a development grant approval, the IHA shall schedule a project coordination meeting to plan and schedule the steps needed to develop the project. The IHA shall invite to the project coordination meeting the project designer (if known) and any tribal, State, or Federal officials who will participate in the development of the project. At the project coordination meeting, the IHA shall establish a schedule of planning activities with target dates for completion of key activities, including the submission to HUD of a construction stage development cost budget and other requirements contained in § 950.260. The schedule, and any amendments thereto, shall be provided to meeting participants and to HUD to be used in planning and monitoring activities.

(b) Citizen participation. The IHA shall hold at least one public meeting at which comments are solicited on the proposed sites and project design from potential occupants, as well as from other interested parties. The meeting may be held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled board meeting or may be held separately. In either case, adequate notice shall be provided to the public to enable full participation. The IHA shall give maximum consideration to all public comments in the design of the project. Failure to hold a public meeting or failure to consider public comments in the design of the project shall be grounds for HUD to rescind authorization, in accordance with the procedures specified in § 950.210(b).
