3. Provide for the establishment of temporary relocation facilities in order to provide housing to households whose displacement will be temporary;

4. Provide advisory services which will include such measures, facilities, and services as may be necessary to determine relocation needs, or other assistance for which displaced persons may be eligible;

5. Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs; and

6. Stage the rehabilitation of apartment units to allow tenants to remain in the building/complex during and after rehabilitation by working with empty units or buildings first.

Any residential tenant who will be permanently and involuntarily displaced shall be entitled to the following services and benefits:

1. Timely information. The tenant will be contacted and provided timely information that fully explains the reason for the displacement and the relocation assistance available;

2. Advisory services. The tenant will be provided appropriate advisory services necessary to minimize hardships in adjusting to the relocation;

On or after August 14, 2025, Salt Lake County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, under Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake the following projects:

 

Tier 1 Broad Review
Project/Program Title: ASSIST Emergency Home Repair, Accessibility, and Community Design
Purpose: The ASSIST Emergency Home Repair program supports neighborhood stabilization and preservation of affordable housing through the provision of Emergency Home Repairs, Accessibility Design Assistance, and Community Design Assistance.
Location: Salt Lake County, Utah. Specific project addresses will be evaluated in Tier 2 site-specific reviews.

 

Project/Program Description:
ASSIST provides grant-funded services to income-qualified households throughout Salt Lake County, including Emergency Home Repairs, Accessibility Design Assistance, and Community Design Assistance. While eligibility extends to households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), the majority of clients historically served earn at or below 30% AMI. These extremely low-income households typically lack the financial capacity to take on additional debt, making grant assistance essential.

The program plays a critical role in preventing homelessness and preserving existing affordable housing stock. ASSIST manages each project from start to finish, including client intake and outreach, needs assessment, preparation of construction drawings, coordination with licensed contractors, inspection of completed work, and payment processing upon satisfactory completion.

Projects are carried out on an as-needed basis throughout the program year and are implemented site-by-site as eligible households are identified.

Tier 2 Site-Specific Review:
Tier 2 reviews will be completed for each project site as addresses become known. These reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review:

Flood Insurance
Historic Preservation
Site Contamination
Floodplain Management
Environmental Justice
Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any):

Flood Insurance: If the project site is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain), proof of flood insurance will be required.
Contamination and Toxic Substances: If site visits or assessments identify potential contamination, Salt Lake County will determine project suitability for HUD funding.
Historic Preservation: Any conditions imposed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will be implemented as required.
Floodplain Management: Projects located within the 100-year floodplain will require completion of the 8-step decision-making process under Executive Order 11988.
Environmental Justice: If a project results in adverse environmental impacts, Salt Lake County will engage the affected community to ensure meaningful participation in impact mitigation.
Level of Environmental Review Citation:
24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(2) and 24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(3)

Estimated Project Cost:
The total estimated cost of the program is $500,000.00, which is expected to be fully funded through Salt Lake County HOME program funds.

Tier 1 Broad Review
Project/Program Title: Holladay City Home Repair Loan Program (HRLP)
Purpose: The purpose of the HRLP is to address emergency home repairs, eliminate health and safety hazards, improve energy efficiency, and preserve the quality and availability of housing within the City of Holladay.
Location: City of Holladay, Utah. Specific addresses will be evaluated as part of Tier 2 site-specific reviews.

Project/Program Description:
The City of Holladay is implementing a Home Repair Loan Program (HRLP) to assist low- to moderate-income homeowners with critical repairs and improvements that support housing preservation and community sustainability. The program provides forgivable loans of up to $25,000 on a first-come, first-served basis. Loans are structured with a five-year forgiveness term. If a property is sold, conveyed, or transferred before the five-year period has expired, all or a portion of the loan may become repayable.

Eligible repairs and improvements may include emergency repairs, correction of health and safety hazards, energy conservation measures, and structural rehabilitation. These activities are intended to preserve affordable housing and allow residents to remain safely in their homes.

The City of Holladay will contract with NeighborWorks Salt Lake to administer their HRLP. 

Tier 2 Site-Specific Review:
Tier 2 site-specific reviews will be completed for each property assisted under this program. These reviews will address the following environmental laws and authorities not covered in the Tier 1 broad review:

Flood Insurance
Historic Preservation
Site Contamination
Floodplain Management
Environmental Justice
Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any):

Flood Insurance: If a property is located within a 100-year floodplain (Special Flood Hazard Area), flood insurance coverage will be required.
Contamination and Toxic Substances: If any site-specific environmental concerns arise regarding contamination, Salt Lake County will assess the project’s eligibility for HUD assistance.
Historic Preservation: Any requirements or conditions issued by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will be implemented.
Floodplain Management: Projects located within the 100-year floodplain will undergo the required 8-step decision-making process in accordance with Executive Order 11988.
Environmental Justice: Should a project have the potential to cause adverse environmental impacts, Holladay City and Salt Lake County will ensure meaningful public participation from affected communities to inform appropriate mitigation measures.
Level of Environmental Review Citation:
24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(2) and 24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(3)

Estimated Project Cost:
The total estimated project cost is $220,000.00, which is expected to be fully funded through Salt Lake County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funds.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements per 24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(2) and 24 CFR Part 58.5(a)(3).

HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Salt Lake County’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Salt Lake County; (b) Salt Lake County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.  Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Regional VIII Director, at CPDRROFDEN@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact CPDRROFDEN@hud.gov to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
