Certificate of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan
Most applications submitted to HUD for projects being funded directly to non-profit and for-profit builders and not to the local government, requires completion of the following form. This ensures and provides notification to HUD that the project is consistent with the local government’s adopted Consolidated Plan, in this case, for the City of Las Cruces. The HUD Form, No. 2991, attached in PDF, is the one for projects to be undertaken in the City of Las Cruces. The person that signs this form on the behalf of the City is identified and all the agency need do is print it out and complete the upper portion. The completed form needs to be provided to the Neighborhood Services Section for final signature and it will be return to them for inclusion in their submission packet to HUD.
For you convenience, all of the reports produced by the Neighborhood Services Section have been placed on a new page called Neighborhood Services Reports.
