The State is eligible to receive $38.7 million in NSP funds, which will be treated as an extension of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The State’s use of the funds will be guided by a substantial amendment to its Consolidated Plan – Annual Action Plan. This amendment, which constitutes the program design for Virginia’s use of NSP funds, must be submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by December 1, 2008.
