The City of Toledo, Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), has determined that the proposed housing projects will have no significant impact on the environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this program is on file at City of Toledo, Department of Housing and Community Development. The ERR will also be made available to the public for review electronically. Please submit your request to andrew.sager@toledo.oh.gov on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of Toledo, Department of Housing and Community Development. All comments received by March 31, 2026, will be considered by the City of Toledo prior to authorizing submission of a Request for Release of Funds and Environmental Certification from HUD.

The City of Toledo certifies to HUD that Wade Kapszukiewicz, in his official capacity as Mayor of City of Toledo, 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 the City of Toledo to utilize federal funds to implement the Program.

HUD will consider objections to its release of funds and the City of Toledo certification for a period of fifteen days following either the anticipated submission date (cited above) or HUD’s actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if the objections are on one of the following bases: (a) that the Certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Toledo; (b) the City of Toledo has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the City of Toledo has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; (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 in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD Public Housing Field Office at ClevelandPublicHousing@hud.gov. Potential objectors may contact HUD directly to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
