Community Engagement

Orange County's Citizen Participation Plan establishes procedures and standards for citizen participation that Orange County must follow to be in compliance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's rule 24 CFR 91.105. All Orange County citizens, in particular resource-limited and income-qualified communities and those living in affected areas, are encouraged to participate in the planning, implementation and assessment of the federally-funded housing and community development programs.

The Citizen Participation Plan was updated on November 28, 2023 to include requirements associated with implementation of the CDBG-DR Program. Additionally, the County's Language Access Plan describes access to information on available programs and activities for individuals with Limited English Proficiency.

An Addendum to the approved Language Access Plan provides additional specifics as they relate to the implementation of federal programs administered by the Orange County Housing and Community Development Division.
