Notice types and posting requirements

We receive federal funding for local housing and community development programs. To use this federal funding, there are certain public notice requirements we need to meet. We post notices asking for public feedback at hearings or through written comments. Notices are posted publicly for 30 days.

Notices about the planning and budgeting process

Every year, we share the following information about housing and community development funding and programs:

  • Annual Action Plan: A plan describing all housing and community development programs, including funding amounts and goals. The plan describes how these programs comply with federal regulations.
  • Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): A report showing program accomplishments during the previous fiscal year.
  • Consolidated Plan: A longer plan including a needs assessment, market analysis, and strategic plan. This plan is published every five years.

We also collect public feedback about these planning processes. To ask for feedback, we post public notices about:

  • How to participate in public hearings. This is where we learn about community needs and get feedback about how programs are working.
  • How to submit comments on draft plans and reports and on proposed changes to older plans.

Environmental Review notices

An Environmental Review investigates a project and its potential environmental impacts to make sure that the project:

  • Will meet federal, state, and local environmental standards.
  • Won’t have a negative impact on the environment.
  • Won’t have negative environmental or health effects on those who will use the property site.

The Environmental Review process is required for all projects supported by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We post public notices about the Environmental Review for certain projects, including:

  • Notices of intent to request release of funds.
  • Notices of finding of no significant impact.

While every project’s environmental impact must be reviewed, the extent of the review varies. However, every project must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related laws.
