(This notice supersedes the original notice published on January 11, 2022.)
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or after the end of the comment period (January 30, 2022), the City of American Canyon will authorize the Housing Authority of the City of Napa to submit a request to the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) for the release of HUD’s Project-Based Vouchers funds under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, as amended in 2000 by the Fiscal Year 2001 Appropriations Act, in 2008 by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, and 2016 by the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act to undertake a project known as Napa Cove Apartments (Project) for the purpose of utilizing 8 Project Based Vouchers at the Napa Cove Apartments in the City of American Canyon.
CRP Affordable Housing & Community proposes to construct the Project located at 3805 Broadway, American Canyon, Napa County, California 94503 (Accessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 058-362-005, 058-362-016, and 058-362-021).

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of American Canyon has determined 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) (Napa Cove Apartments Environmental Assessment) on file at the City of American Canyon Community Development Department located at 4381 Broadway Street, Suite 201, American Canyon, CA 94503 and may be examined or copied weekdays 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
