FY 2025 Annual Plan Draft

The draft Annual Plan be posted on the LHA website and distributed to each LTO 30 business days before the hearing.  To simplify date calculations, DHCD is requiring that the draft be posted 46 calendar days before the hearing, which will always meet the 30 business days requirement.  It is sufficient to post a link to the CIMS public portal https://tinyurl.com/LHA-MA-AnnualPlan  rather than posting the pdf file.
