Fulton County’s Department of Housing and Human Services wants citizen comments on the 2011 Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011.  Citizens will speak to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Shelter Grant Programs and draft amendments.

Housing and Human Services welcomes citizen comments regarding the planned use of approximately $4 million in federal funds from the U. S.
