Background/Analysis
As a result of the wildfires that affected California in 2018, a Presidentially-Declared Disaster
was assigned to five counties, including Shasta County for the Carr Fire. In recognition of the
unmet recovery needs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated
Community Development B1ock Grant — Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funds to the
State of California Housing and Community Development Department (F�CD). HCD is the
agency responsible for administering the CDBG-DR funds and approving any resulting multi-
family proj ects.
HCD undertook an extensive needs assessment to determine the specific priorities of the affected
counties with significant community outreach and analysis that resulted in four CDBG-DR
Program categories: housing, infrastructure, economic revitalization, and planning. The majority
of funds are allocated to the unmet rental housing needs in affected counties. To meet the unmet
rental housing needs, HCD created the CDBG-DR MHP. The City was allocated $16,660,145 in
CDBG-DR MHP funds to support the development of income-eligible multifamily projects.
Kennett Court Senior Apartments consists of 40 income-eligible apartment units for seniors, with
one manager's unit, and is located at 1185 Lake Boulevard. On March 15, 2022, the Council
approved a $1,000,000 loan of CDBG-DR MHP funds to assist Kennett Court Senior
Apartments, LP, to develop and construct the project. The project was completed on November
13, 2023, and is soon to be fully occupied. CDBG-DR MHP regulations require that once the
funded project is completed, the local jurisdiction inust adopt a resolution that acknowledges it is
satisfactorily completed.
Environmental Review
Adopting a completion resolution is not considered a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The actual construction of the project was previously reviewed for CEQA
compliance.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management
activities such as adopting a resolution are considered exempt activities and no further action is
required. The actual construction project was reviewed for NEPA requirements befare the
project started.
