R2013-86 Exhibit "A" A Message from Mark Johnston, Acting Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and De elopment to All Formula Grantees The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Acting Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CPD), Mark Johnston, is pleased to announce the Fiscal Year 2013 allocations for the CPD formula programs, which provide funding for housing, community and economic development activities, and assistance for low- and moderate -income persons and special populations across the country. To view your community's CPD formula grants for FY 2013 please visit CPD's budeet page. As you are likely aware, the President was required by law to issue a sequestration order on March 1, 2013, canceling approximately $85 billion in budgetary resources across the Federal Government for the remainder of the federal fiscal year. The posted amounts reflect the approximately 5 percent cut attributable to sequestration, as well as the impact of annual changes to individual FY 2013 program appropriation levels and the updated American Community Survey data upon which some of the formula calculations are based. We understand that sequester related budget reductions may make FY 2013 a difficult period of adjustment for many of our grantees. The reduced funding levels may require grantees to restructure programs and further prioritize or better target available resources. CPD is committed to doing all we can to support you as you face these challenges. If you would like assistance in redesigning or restructuring your programs, you or the head of the agency that administers your program may request technical assistance through your local CPD Office Director. If your jurisdiction has already submitted an Annual Action Plan to HUD for FY 2013 based on estimated funding levels, you must resubmit this document using the actual amounts. Depending on the nature of the changes necessary to the Action Plan, you may need to comply with citizen participation requirements. For further information on the appropriate course of action, please contact your local CPD office. The Office of Community Planning and Development looks forward to working with you in partnership to successfully meet the challenges we face. Please contact your local CPD office if you or your staff has any questions or comments.
