**NOTE:** All questions that address requirements contain the citation
for the source of the requirement (statute, regulation, NOFA, or grant
agreement). If the requirement is not met, HUD must make a finding of
noncompliance. All other questions (questions that do not contain the
citation for the requirement) do not address requirements, but are
included to assist the reviewer in understanding the participant\'s
program more fully and/or to identify issues that, if not properly
addressed, could result in deficient performance. Negative conclusions
to these questions may result in a \"concern\" being raised, but not a
\"**finding**.\"

**[Instructions]{.underline}:** This Exhibit is designed to review the
local government's compliance with the Citizen Participation Plan
requirements per the Consolidated Plan regulations at 24 CFR Part 91,
Subpart B. This review may be used to review both individual local
government and consortium Plans. The Exhibit is divided into seven
sections: General Aspects of the Citizen Participation Plan; Development
of the Citizen Participation Plan and Any Amendments; Development of the
Consolidated Plan; Consolidated Plan Amendments; Performance Reports;
Public Hearings; and Miscellaneous Citizen Participation Requirements.

|                                                            |         |
| -   the local government\'s plans to minimize displacement |         |
|     of persons and to assist any persons displaced,        |         |
|     specifying the types and levels of assistance the      |         |
|     local government will make available (or require       |         |
|     others to make available) to persons displaced, even   |         |
