Change in Environmental Review Responsibilities for ESG
On Friday, July 6, 2012, President Obama signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 218t
Century Act (MAP-21) (Public Law 112-141) into law. The law includes several changes to the
homeless assistance programs under title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.). Among these changes, MAP-21 restores authorization for
states and units of general local government to assume HUD's responsibilities for environmental
review under 24 CFR Part 58 (environmental reviews performed by states and units of general
local government) for the Emergency Solutions Grants program (ESG).
Based on this change, HUD revised the ESG grant agreement to incorporate the relevant
provision of MAP-21 and provide that the grantee agrees to assume all of the responsibilities
with respect to environmental review, decision making, and action required under HUD's
regulations at 24 CFR Part 58. This agreement will enable you to use the same environmental
review procedures that have been required for all Emergency Shelter Grants program grants.
HUD will also incorporate these procedures into the upcoming final rule for the Emergency
Solutions Grants program.
Under these procedures, each unit of general local government that receives ESG funds from
HUD or a State, and each State that provides ESG funds to private nonprofit organizations, will
carry out the environmental review responsibilities under Part 58. Also, each State that provides
ESG funds to a unit of general local government will provide for the assumption of
environmental review responsibilities by the units of general local government and act on their
requests for release of funds.

DISCUSSION:
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded the City a
second allocation in the amount of $167,073.00 of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds for Fiscal
Year 2011. The City must establish additional policies and procedures for the use of these ESG
funds that will at minimum include: summary of the consultation process, summary of the citizen
participation process, matching funds, proposed activities and overall budget, written standards for
provision of ESG assistance, process for awarding funds, homeless participation requirement,
performance standards, and required forms and certifications. HUD emphasized using these funds
for rapid rehousing activities. Staff, as required by HUD, has consulted the local Continuum of Care in
Page 1 of 2
order to develop and update the required policies and procedures.
The City released a Request for Proposals for these funds on February 16, 2012 and received five
proposals by the March 8, 2012 deadline The proposals were reviewed by Staff and presented to the
Community Development Council (CDC) on April 4, 2012. After a public hearing, the CDC made the
following recommendations to be presented to Council:

these ESG funds was held on April 4, 2012 at the CDC meeting. The City Council will hold public
hearings on April 17, 2012 and May 1, 2012. A 30-day public comment period was held from March
18, 2012 to April 16, 2012 for the funding allocation and a public comment period on the substantial
amendment to the Action Plan began on March 30 2012 and will end April 30, 2012. Any comments
will be maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department in accordance with federal
regulations. The substantial amendment must be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2012.
This Program is available for all ESG-eligible residents in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
