The Department prepares the State's capital program and the annual capital budget. It also cooperates with, and provides planning assist- ance to county, municipal and other local governments, instrumentali- ties or planning agencies and serves as the applicant and supervisory agency for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Comprehensive Planning Assistance grants under Section 701 of the Housing Act of 1954, as amended.
