What are the specific requirements for additional public meetings in order for them to count as extra credit in the HOPE VI application?
Applicants should refer to Section VII for information on Resident and Community Involvement. This section contains the requirements for resident and community involvement in addition to the threshold (VII(A)(5)) and the rating factor portion (VII(B)). Applicants may earn an additional point under Section XII, the Project Readiness section, by going above and beyond the minimum requirements described in Section VII, particularly the threshold at VII(B), and certifying on Attachment 31 that they have conducted 5 or more public planning sessions (which include resident training sessions and public meetings).
