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.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about September 24th, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH), for the release of funding under the Restore-Rebuild Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, authorized by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-55, approved November 18, 2011) (2012 Appropriations Act) and later amended to undertake the following project:

PROJECT: New Clark Residence

PURPOSE: The New Clark Residence is an occupied rehabilitation project and proposed conversion from an SRO to an affordable housing project with studio apartments housing a non-targeted population. The property was originally constructed in 1913 as a YWCA. Abode Communities rehabilitated the building most recently in 1996. The building is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and on the National Register of Places. New Clark Residence is located on a regularly shaped site, approximately 1.117 acres in size. The project is a single five-story building. The property currently consists of 152 units, with 150 single room occupancy (SRO) units, 1 two-bedroom manager’s unit and 1-one bedroom maintenance staff unit. The proposed project involves a planned conversion to 107 units with 106 studio units and 1 two-bedroom manager’s unit. There are currently 11 parking spaces and 1 accessible parking space, for a total of 12 parking spaces. This project’s housing type is non-targeted, but will add additional housing serving low-income existing and future population. The New Clark Residence housing project is a rehabilitation project of an existing 5-story building, with 107 studio apartments. There will be fifty-three (53) 0-bedroom Studio units using RAD Section 8 PBVs for 20 years. There will be one (1) 2-bedroom manager’s unit and 1-bedroom maintenance staff unit not using vouchers. The new 107-unit total rehabilitation of the existing historic building will provide tenants with their own bathrooms and kitchens to increase independence and quality of life.
Funding: HACLA is reserving funding in the total amount of $29,612,160 for fifty-three (53) 0-bedroom units at New Clark Residences. The RAD Section 8 funding is anticipated to be provided over 20 years through annual disbursements in the approximate amount of $1,480,608. Funding for the project is based on the HUD approved monthly Voucher Payment Standards (VPS) for 0-bedroom units at New Clark Residences ($2,328/unit).
