Clermont County to serve as Responsible Entity for HUD environmental review of Light Street PBV project
Summary
The Board agreed to act as the Non-Recipient Responsible Entity and designated County Administrator Thomas J. Eigel as Certifying Officer for the environmental review of a Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority project (Light Street Development) tied to a Project-Based Voucher program with $275,000 or more in PBV funding.
The Board of Clermont County on April 23 approved a recommendation to act as the Non-Recipient Responsible Entity for the environmental review and certification of one project undertaken by the Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority. The Board designated Thomas J. Eigel, County Administrator, as the Certifying Officer with authority to execute documents required under U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules (24 CFR Part 58).
Meeting materials list the project as the Light Street Development with the Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority as grant recipient and the HUD program noted as Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program (24 PBVs) with a listed amount of "$275,000 or more." The designation allows the county to oversee and execute environmental review steps required prior to HUD funding drawdowns.
Why it matters: The Responsible Entity designation places the county in the formal role of overseeing HUD-mandated environmental review procedures for a housing project using PBV assistance. That role carries procedural responsibilities under 24 CFR Part 58 and authorizes the county to sign required documents on behalf of the non-recipient. The Board voted unanimously to approve the action.
