Cindy explains that the public comment period is until September 23, 2016. MaineHousing is bringing it to the CoCs to see if they want to provide a comment. Clyde Bard a MaineHousing analyst, reviewed each of the formulas and how they would impact the MCOC, PCOC and a combined COC. There are four different formulas proposed. After this is presented the policy committee may want to review these and discuss it with elected officials. MaineHousing plans to comment and we encourage each CoC to comment.
