Environmental Review

The environmental review process aims to assess how a proposed project will impact both the people and the natural surroundings in a specific project area. Grantees receiving CDBG funds, categorized as responsible entities, must conduct this review for all project activities before using CDBG funds.

​

The HUD rules and regulations governing the environmental review process can be found in 24 CFR Part 58. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations in 40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508 are also applicable. Additionally, various federal and state laws and regulations, enforced by state agencies, may apply based on the project type and the required level of review.
