REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about September 26, 2016 the IHCDA authorizes LaCasa, Inc. to submit a request to the HUD administering agency for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as: Project title: 408 Lincoln Apartments Purpose/Scope of Project: 5 Unit Rental Rehabilitation Estimated funding: $260,000 in IHCDA HOME funds Project location if applicable: 408 E Lincoln Ave, Goshen, IN 46526 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The IHCDA has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at IHCDA, 30 South Meridian Street, Suite 1000 Indianapolis, IN 46204 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the IHCDA, 30 South Meridian Street, Suite 1000, Indianapolis, IN 46204. All comments received by September 25, 2016 will be considered by the IHCDA prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS The IHCDA certifies to HUD that Jacob Sipe in his capacity as Executive Director consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the LaCasa, Inc. to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the IHCDAs certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the IHCDA; (b) the IHCDA has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) LaCasa, Inc. has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to: United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Minton Capehart Federal Building, 575 North Pennsylvania Street, Room 655, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46204.
