A copy of the draft state plan was emailed to the eligible entities and the state association. The State attended an association meeting to discuss the state plan and asked for comments and suggestions. The state plan was added to the Virtual ROMA website for all eligible entity staff to provide feedback. The state plan was presented at the public hearing for input and comments. Comments will be accepted through July 19, 2024.
