Finding Details

Finding Number: 2023-001 AL Number: 14.218 AL Program Title: Community Development Block Grant Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions – Environmental Reviews Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Criteria: Projects funded by Community Development Block Grants (AL 14.218) must have an environmental review unless they meet criteria specified in the regulations that would exempt or exclude them from environmental certification requirements. Condition: During our testing, we noted a project where an environmental review was not performed as required. Cause: Grant program managers did not ensure that all environmental reviews were performed for applicable projects. Effect: Not performing an environmental review could result in a project not meeting the terms of the grant and a subsequent loss of grant funding. Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement a process that ensures all projects funded by Community Development Block Grants have environmental reviews performed.
