11/17/2017	0	HOUSING AUTHORITY	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Commissioner Donald asked about the difference between a substantial deviation and a significant amendment within the agency plan. Bobbi Marsells, HACM Assistant Secretary, explained that a substantial deviation is the smaller change to the Agency Plan, including changes like correcting typos, that does not require a presentation to the Resident Advisory Board or a 45-day comment period. It should be defined by the Housing Authority. A significant amendment is a larger change, defined by HUD, which requires a presentation to the Resident Advisory Board and a 45-day comment period. HACM will revisit the definition of a substantial deviation at a future meeting, because at some earlier date, the two types of changes were combined in the Agency Plan document. The change was needed because the application must be included as part of HACM’s Agency Plan. The grant announcement was made after HACM’s submission of its 2017 plan. The application was included in HACM’s 2018 Agency Plan, but since HUD has not yet approved the 2018 plan, HACM will add the application to the approved 2017 Agency Plan as a substantial deviation.
