The project's goal is to provide permanent, supportive housing to homeless individuals/families with disabilities. Agreements in place clarify duties of participants, private housing providers, the City of Dubuque Public Housing Authority (PHA), the Sponsor Agency, Project Concern, and referring agencies. Project Concern is the primary contact with the client. Both agencies take pride in operating the Phoenix Housing project utilizing the `Housing First Model.' Project Concern provides case management to participants (clients) which includes: setting goals related to housing, increasing income and/or skills and setting personal goals in order to create an overall better quality of life. The goals are set by the client; the coordinator is there to assist clients with referrals, skill building and for overall This format is to be used for leasing or rental assistance activities funded under the Continuum of Care (CoC) program only. support. The coordinator prepares a monthly supportive service report for each participant to keep track of services accessed by the client, including mental health services, substance abuse treatment and/or job training programs, as needed. Project Concern works with apartment owners to secure suitable housing located at scattered sites throughout the community and schedules appointments bi-monthly at the housing unit to assist clients with housing needs or concerns. Inspections of these units are performed by the City, as well as, conducting rent reasonableness comparisons and rent calculations. The duration of the rental assistance is unlimited although the goal is to provide enough support, guidance and services so that the individual/family is able to live independently without fear of becoming homeless again. *Level of Environmental Review Determination: Categorically Excluded per 24 CFR 58.35(a), and subject to laws and authorities at §58.5, per 24 CFR 58.35(a)(5).

These leasing and rental assistance activities provide transitional or permanent housing for the homeless in existing scattered site buildings with no associated physical changes to the buildings, and have 110 potential to cause effects on historic properties, assuming such properties were present. Neither HUD nor the grantees participating in the CoC Program have any further obligations for these projects under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) or 36 CFR Part 800. No consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), or other interested parties is required. A copy of this memorandum in the Environmental Review Record for a qualifying individual CoC project will document compliance with Section 106, 36 CFR Part 800, 24 CFR Part 50, and 24 CFR Part 58 regarding historic properties. Leasing and rental assistance with associated unit or building repairs, rehabilitation, or new construction do not qualify for the treatment described in this memo. Likewise, other types of projects participating in the CoC Program, including repairs, rehabilitation, and new construction, do not qualify for the treatment described in this memo, These activities must be fully reviewed under the Section 106 process, including consultation with a SHPO, THPO and/or tribal authority, interested parties and the public, to aid HUD or the Responsible Entity in making an effect determination. Please direct any questions regarding this memorandum to Nancy E. Boone, Federal Preservation Officer, at Nancv.E.Boone@hud.eov or 202-402-5718. www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov
