24 CFR Part 58 is the Federal regulation that outlines the environmental review procedures for entities assuming HUD environmental responsibilities. Compliance under this regulation will fulfill the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), additional Federal regulations required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD), and a few state/local environmental requirements. In regard to projects undertaken by Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), the review done under 24 CFR Part 58 is often referred to as the NEPA review.
Historic Preservation Section 106 Review
All projects must adhere to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, also known as 36 CFR 800. During the environmental review, all projects are evaluated for their potential impact on properties designated as historic, eligible for historic status, or located within a historic district. This evaluation process is commonly referred to as the Section 106 Review.
Projects that may impact historic properties must be reviewed to guarantee that project plans will meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the California Historic Building Code. If necessary, LAHD will outline a set of conditions for the project proponent to follow, in addition to conducting a walkthrough at 50% and 100% completion to verify compliance.
Estimated Review Time
The complexity of each review may vary, depending on a project’s scope of work and the proposed project site’s existing environmental conditions. The following table contains an estimated review time for the most common projects undertaken by LAHD.
| Project Type | Numbers of Units | Estimated Review Time |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | 1-4 units | 5 to 15 days |
| 5+ units | ||
| Non Residential/Vacant Lots | ||
| Rehabilitation | 1-4 units | 5 to 30 days |
| 5+ units | 45 to 60 days | |
| Demolition/ New Construction | Residential to Residential (1-4 units) | |

On or about August 14, 2026, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Project Funding (CPF) approved under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), by the U.S. Congress, as listed in the Joint Explanatory Statement (JES) printed in the Senate section of the Congressional Record on December 20, 2022, identified by Grant Number B-24-CP-CA-0201, to undertake the following project:
PROJECT: Highland Park Housing For Transition-Age Foster Youth
Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services proposes to rehabilitate an existing residential structure located within its Highland Park campus to provide safe, functional, and code-compliant housing for transition-age youth, including youth who are at risk of or transitioning out of the foster care system. Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services is a nonprofit organization that provides housing and supportive services to children, youth, and families. The project site consists of Building 9, a single-story, two-unit residential building constructed in 1953, containing two approximately 538-square-foot dwelling units for a total building area of approximately 1,076 square feet. The building is currently vacant and is located within the approximately 5.081-acre Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services campus. Only Building 9 is included within the proposed project scope. The proposed rehabilitation will improve the safety, functionality, and habitability of the existing residential building and support the continued provision of transitional housing and supportive services for this vulnerable population. The scope of work includes comprehensive interior and exterior rehabilitation of the existing structure. Interior improvements include removal of damaged or deteriorated materials; installation of new insulation; replacement of drywall; installation of new flooring, cabinetry, and finishes; and upgrades to the kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. The electrical, plumbing, and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems will also be upgraded or replaced as needed to meet current safety and operational standards. Exterior improvements include roof replacement; installation of new windows and doors; rehabilitation of exterior surfaces through cleaning, sealing, and painting; and minor repairs to existing stairs, walkways, and other appurtenances necessary to maintain safe access and functionality. The project does not include expansion of the existing building footprint, construction of new detached structures, changes to the overall site layout, or installation of a new foundation. The rehabilitation will address deterioration, outdated building systems, and substandard living conditions; extend the useful life of the existing structure; and allow Building 9 to continue serving as transitional housing for youth at risk of or transitioning out of foster care.
Funding: HUD will provide $850,000 in Community Project Funding (CPF) for the rehabilitation of Building 9 at the Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

PROJECT: 11418 MISSOURI AVENUE ACQUISITION & ADA UPGRADE
LOCATION: 11418 Missouri Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90025
PURPOSE: The proposed project involves the acquisition and accessibility retrofit of an existing 44-unit multifamily apartment building at 11418 Missouri Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025.

The rehabilitation work will be limited to ADA accessibility retrofit to create mobility-accessible and sensory-accessible units to meet ADA and California Building Code accessibility requirements. No new structures, parking facilities, or utility extensions would be constructed as part of the project. The project would not alter the building’s footprint, change the existing land use, or involve any ground disturbance around the building’s exterior.
