Title
Amendment to the FY 2010-2011 CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan (B)

This is a request for the City Commission to approve the first amendment to the FY 2010-11 CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan to add a new program, Purchase Assistance New Construction Program (PNC) as part of the City's Southeast Gainesville Renaissance Initiative (SEGRI).

The SEGRI NRS boundaries are bordered by East University Ave, SE 11th St, S.C.L.
