areas (MSAs), micropolitan statistical areas, and core -based statistical areas (CBSAs). The largest city in each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area is designated a Principal City. Additional cities also qualify as Principal Cities if requirements are met concerning population size and employment. OMB last updated these designations in July 2023 (OMB Bulletin No. 23-01). Relinquishing CDBG Entitlement Status: The action of a Metropolitan City officially giving up its status as a CDBG Entitlement Community. The Metropolitan City must submit an official letter to their CPD field office notifying HUD that it wants to relinquish its CDBG Entitlement status. Their CPD field office will then notify the CPD Entitlement Communities Division as this will affect CPD formula allocation. After a Metropolitan City relinquishes CDBG Entitlement status, they may choose to become a Participating UGLG in an Urban County, seek State CDBG Program funding, or not participate in the CDBG program altogether. Requalifiers: Currently qualified Urban Counties that are in their requalification year (the third year of their current expiring Urban County Qualification Period). Split Place: An UGLG whose population is in more than one county. The jurisdiction crosses county lines. The counties do not all have to be Urban Counties. The UGLG must decide which county(ies) it will attribute its population to for Urban County qualification (if any). State CDBG Program: HUD grant program which awards CDBG funds to state governments for distribution to Non -Entitlement Areas in their state (UGLGs and lower -population counties not qualified as Urban Counties) to develop and preserve decent affordable housing, provide services to the most vulnerable in local communities, and create and keep jobs. States award their CDBG funding to Non -Entitlement Areas using a "method of distribution" of their choice. Unincorporated Areas: Areas in a county not incorporated as cities, towns, townships, villages, or boroughs. These areas may have a name and be locally recognized, but they do not have legally defined boundaries or a separate legal government. Unincorporated areas are primarily "census designated places" (CDPs) and "unorganized territories," per the U.S. Census Bureau. Unit of General Local Government (UGLG): An Incorporated Area operated by a local governing body (for example, a city council). These are typically known as cities, towns, townships, villages, or boroughs. Urban County: A county that has met population thresholds and qualified to directly receive CDBG funds from HUD. An Urban County is a CDBG Entitlement Community under the CDBG Entitlement Program. Refer to the official definition of Urban Counties at Section 102(a)(6)(A) of the HCDA of 1974 for more information. Urban County Configuration: The group of Participating UGLGs in Cooperation Agreements and/or Metropolitan Cities in Joint Agreements that make up an Urban County, including the county government itself. This is a technical term primarily used internally by HUD. It is often used when referring to the Urban County "worksheets" in the GMP-R Urban County Module and Urban County reports produced by the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). 38 594
