About this file

This is a memorandum documenting an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) under the National Environmental Policy Act for a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The memorandum, dated February 4, 2026, from Darrell A. Clark, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Operations, confirms that the Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants NOFO (FR-6901-N-07) for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025 does not represent a substantive or significant change to the previously published Notice (FR-6700-N-07). The office determined that the funding notice does not constitute a major federal action with individually or cumulatively significant environmental effects and therefore does not require preparation of an environmental impact statement. The grant authority derives from Section 4 of the HUD Demonstration Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-120), with funding authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 (Public Law 118-42, approved March 9, 2024) and the Full Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 119-4, approved March 15, 2025).

The memorandum includes concurrences from Christopher Hartenau, OGC Environmental Clearance Officer; Glenn Schroeder, Acting CPD Program Environmental Clearance Officer; and approval from Bryan Horn, Deputy Assistant Secretary Grant Programs, and Claudette Fernandez, General Deputy Assistant Secretary. The document references two attachments: the new NOFO (FR-6901-N-07) and the previous Environmental Assessment and FONSI for 6900-N-07 from September 11, 2023, which remains applicable to the current notice.

Stat.1148, 42 U.S.C. 9816 note), as amended. Funding for this NOFO is authorized by the
