# §91.402. Consolidated program year.

- (a) **Same program year for consortia members.** All units of general local government that are members of a consortium must be on the same program year for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA. The program year shall run for a twelve month period and begin on the first calendar day of a month.
- (b) **Transition period.**
  - (1) A consortium in existence on February 6, 1995, with all members having aligned program years must comply with [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section. A consortium in existence on February 6, 1995, in which all members do not have aligned program years will be allowed a transition period during the balance of its current consortium agreement to bring the program year for all members into alignment.
  - (2) During any such transition period, the lead agency (if it is a CDBG entitlement community) must submit, as its consolidated plan, a plan that complies with this subpart for the consortium, plus its nonhousing Community Development Plan (in accordance with [§ 91.215](/cfr/24/91.215.md)). All other CDBG entitlement communities in the consortium may submit their respective nonhousing Community Development Plans ([§ 91.215(e)](/cfr/24/91.215.md?p=e)), an Action Plan ([§ 91.220](/cfr/24/91.220.md)) and the certifications (§ [91.425(a)](/cfr/24/91.425.md?p=a) and [(b)](/cfr/24/91.425.md?p=b)) in accordance with their individual program years.
