Document Number: 2011-11265
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-05-10
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gives notice to the public, agencies, and Indian Tribes that the Seattle Housing Authority and the City of Seattle Human Services Department (Community Development Block Grant Administration Unit) have prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Yesler Terrace Redevelopment Project, located in the City of Seattle, King County, Washington. The project proponent is the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA). The FEIS is a joint National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) document. The proposed action is subject to compliance with NEPA because funds from the public housing programs under Title I of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (HOPE VI, Capital Funds, Demolition/Disposition) will be used for this project (24 CFR 58.1(b)(6)(i)). This notice is given in accordance with Council on Environmental Quality regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, and with state and local SEPA regulations. The City of Seattle Human Services Department (City HSD) and SHA, acting jointly as lead agencies, have prepared the FEIS under the authority of the City HSD as the Responsible Entity for compliance with NEPA in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 1437x and HUD regulations at 24 CFR 58.4, and under SHA's role as SEPA lead agency. SEPA Compliance and Action: The FEIS satisfies requirements of SEPA (RCW 43.21C and WAC 197-11), which requires that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental impacts of projects before acting on those projects. Under SEPA, it is anticipated that the SHA Board of Commissioners will adopt a resolution approving a Development Plan for Yesler Terrace, and adopting the FEIS for SEPA purposes. Prior to Board action, the public is welcome to comment on the proposed project by mailing, faxing, or e-mailing comments to: Stephanie Van Dyke, Development Director of the Seattle Housing Authority, YTEISComments@seattlehousing.org, P.O. Box 19028, Seattle, WA 98109-1028, (f) 206-615-3539. NEPA Comment Period: NEPA provides for a 30-day comment period on the FEIS. All interested Federal, state, and local agencies, Indian Tribes, groups, and the public are invited to comment on the FEIS. Comments relating to the FEIS will be accepted until June 9, 2011. Any person or agency wishing to comment on the FEIS may mail, fax, or e- mail comments to: Kristen Larson, Project Funding and Agreements Coordinator, City of Seattle Human Services Department, CDBG Administration Unit, Kristen.Larson@seattle.gov, P.O. Box 34215, Seattle, WA 98124-4215, (f) 206-621-5003.
Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program-Renewal Funding Annual Adjustment Factors, Fiscal Year 2011
Document Number: 2011-11263
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-05-10
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, directs Public and Indian Housing to ``provide renewal funding for each Public Housing Agency (PHA) based on Voucher Management System (VMS) leasing and cost data for the most recent Federal fiscal year and by applying the most recent Annual Adjustment Factors as established by the Secretary.'' The Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, continues this requirement. This Notice announces Renewal Funding AAFs in response to that directive which was first applicable when FY2010 Renewal Funding AAFs were published. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, similar to those used for ``Contract Rent AAFs'', are used, but semi-annual CPI data replaces annual CPI data. This makes the Renewal Funding AAFs six months more current than the CPI data used to derive Contract Rent AAFs. These CPI are the most current data available and reflect the economic circumstances most relevant to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program in 2011 and the assumptions of the 2011 budget. Like the Contract Rent AAFs, these factors are based on a formula using residential rent and utility cost changes. Contract Rent AAFs were published in the Federal Register on March 16, 2011, and can be viewed at: https://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/aaf/FY2011_CR_AAF_ Preamble.pdf.
