They cannot withdraw from your Urban County to become a Metropolitan City (CDBG Entitlement) during the three- year qualification period. Apotential new Metropolitan City has four options to choose from at the time your Urban Count. y is requalifying for the upcomingthree-year hree-year qualification period: • Option 1: Accept its CDBG Entitlement status and administer its own CDBG program as an independent Metropolitan City (not participate in your Urban County for the upcoming three-year qualification period). • Option 2: Accept its CDBG Entitlement status but continue to participate with your Urban County as a Metropolitan City under a Joint Agreement. • Option 3: Defer its CDBG Entitlement status (not accept it) and continue to participate in your Urban County under a Cooperation Agreement as a Participating UGLG. • Option 4: Defer its CDBG Entitlement status (not accept it) and opt out of your Urban County to become a Nonparticipating UGLG. They may then choose to seek State CDBG program funding as a Non -Entitlement UGLG OR not participate in the CDBG program altogether. 12 Under Section 102(a)(4) of the HCDA of 1974, as amended, a city within a metropolitan area may qualify as a Metropolitan City if it has a population of 50,000 or more. For this determination, HUD relies on population data compiled and published by the U.S. Census Bureau, including data from the latest decennial census or the American Community Survey, as applicable, together with applicable metropolitan area delineations published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
