NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

FOR CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDED PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS

Date of Publication: September 2, 2025

Salt Lake County

2001 South State Street S2-100

Salt Lake City, Utah 84114

385-468-4944

On or about September 18, 2025, Salt Lake County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as:

Murray City – Senior Center Roof Projected - This project is located at 10 E 6150 S, Murray, UT 84107. The City of Murray will utilize $400,000.00 in CDBG funds to replace the deteriorated roof of the Murray Senior Recreation Center, a public facility that has served the community since 1980. The Center supports approximately 250 seniors daily through affordable health, fitness, nutrition, and social programs. The existing roof, covering roughly 20,000 square feet, has experienced significant wear, including active leaks and material degradation, posing risks to the building's safety and operations.  The total project cost is $400,000.00.

This rehabilitation project is essential to maintain a safe, functional space for the city's aging population. With 16.9% of Murray residents aged 65 and older, above both the state and county averages, the Center is a critical resource. It plays a vital role in combating social isolation, promoting physical and mental wellness, and providing essential services to low- to moderate-income seniors, many of whom live on fixed incomes. The project aligns with CDBG goals by preserving an accessible facility that enhances quality of life and ensures the continued delivery of services that foster community well-being and independence for older adults.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements or alternatives.  An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for these projects is on file at the Salt Lake County Housing and Community Development Office, 2001 South State Street, N3-500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, and may be examined or copied weekdays from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Salt Lake County, Housing and Community Development Office, 2001 South State Street, N3-500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, or at jjimenez@saltlakecounty.gov.  All comments received by September 17, 2025, will be considered by Salt Lake County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Salt Lake County certifies to HUD that Jennifer Wilson, Certifying Officer, in her capacity as Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Salt Lake County to use HUD program funds. 

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

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.

On or about September 19, 2025, Salt Lake County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of HOME-ARP funds, provided through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Program regulations are codified at 24 CFR Part 92, as:

Saltair Lofts Project - located at 107 S 800 W in Salt Lake City.  This location is presently home to an 8-unit apartment complex constructed in 1993 by Valley Behavioral Health (VBH) and operated as affordable housing for their clients. Spanning close to half an acre and zoned TSA-UN-T, the site presents an incredible opportunity to expand the availability of service-rich, supportive housing in Salt Lake City and the larger region. Saltair Lofts is a 68-unit Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) development in Salt Lake City's Poplar Grove neighborhood.  

All 68 units of Saltair Lofts will be targeted to formerly homeless households, with 9 units set aside for those with mobility impairments, and 7 units targeting individuals with disabilities. Amenities will include life skills classes and case management (provided by VBH), two outdoor patios with amenities, free internet connectivity, a computer room, exercise room, community room with kitchen, and garden boxes for resident use. The site will also include onsite clinical spaces for residents to quickly and conveniently get the care that they need. All residences will be all-electric, Energy Star MFNC certified, and Enterprise Green Community certified. 

A unique aspect of the project is that the ground floor will contain a separate "retail" space, to be utilized by VBH for their "CORE" treatment program. This is a 16-bed, inpatient treatment program for the most vulnerable among us. So not only will the 68 PSH units be housing those in need of homes, but the ground floor treatment center will be intensively healing those who need it most. The project has taken every care to keep the two populations separate, with separate entrances/exits and outdoor gathering spaces tailored to ensure that all can heal, live in peace, and develop a sense of hope and community.

The project's by-right zoning will enable it to break ground in mid-2025 with a completion and lease up in 2027. Valley has engaged and commenced work with the project's architect, AJC, and the project's contractor, Wadman Corporation. Both groups have extensive experience with PSH projects and are committed to bringing the project to life in a way that benefits Utah for decades to come.  The development will utilize $1,100,000.00 HOME ARP funds as a total project cost of $32,841,460.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements or alternatives.  An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for these projects is on file at the Salt Lake County Housing and Community Development Office, 2001 South State Street, N3-500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, and may be examined or copied weekdays from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

Volunteers of America – Youth Resource Security Project located at 888 S 400 W, SLC, UT, 84104.  The Youth Resource Center's Shelter Services Program is a comprehensive initiative addressing youth homelessness in Salt Lake County. Designed for youth ages 15-22 who are at imminent risk of or experiencing homelessness, the program provides emergency shelter, diversion services, and wraparound support. Utilizing a Housing First model, it focuses on stabilizing youth by addressing their immediate needs and creating pathways to long-term housing and self-sufficiency.  The program offers a continuum of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of youth experiencing homelessness. Emergency shelter provides 50 beds (an increase from 30) for youth in need of immediate safe housing, ensuring 9,000-12,000 nights of shelter annually. Diversion services help youth explore alternative housing options, such as reunification with family or other support systems, to avoid shelter stays where possible.  The County award of $112,500.00 of CDBG funds will be allocated to critical operational expenses of the Shelter Services Program, including salaries for two FTE Diversion Specialists and one FTE Case Manager to directly support youth in navigating housing and resource options, the purchase of one vehicle, and direct client expenses. This funding will directly contribute to maintaining and enhancing the program's capacity to serve 400 unduplicated youth during the program year while addressing systemic barriers to housing stability and self-sufficiency. The total estimated cost for this project is $112,500.00.

Shelter the Homeless – Laundry Project is located at three Shelter the Homeless (STH) Housing Resource Centers.  The addresses are PARC: 3380 S 1000 W, South Salt Lake, UT 84119; GMRC: 242 W. Paramount Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84115; GEK: 131 E 700 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.  Shelter the Homeless (STH) is receiving $112,090 in Salt Lake County CDBG funds to support the rehabilitation of laundry facilities at its three adult Homeless Resource Centers (HRCs): Pamela Atkinson Resource Center (PARC), Geraldine E. King Women's Resource Center (GEK), and Gail Miller Resource Center (GMRC).  STH, as the owner of the HRCs, is committed to providing clean, safe, and functional facilities to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Reliable laundry services are critical to maintaining residents' health, hygiene, and dignity. The existing laundry equipment has reached the end of its useful life, resulting in frequent breakdowns, high repair costs, and disruptions in service. This project will replace the outdated equipment to ensure consistent and dependable access to laundry facilities.  It is estimated that more than 3,900 clients will benefit from this rehabilitation effort. The total estimated cost for this project is $112,090.00.

 

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements or alternatives.  An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for these projects is on file at the Salt Lake County Housing and Community Development Office, 2001 South State Street, N3-500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, and may be examined or copied weekdays from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
