HUD Reviews

HUD-assisted project typically require an evaluation of the impacts to historic properties.  This includes projects where HUD assistance is proposed for property repair, rehabilitation of an existing structure, conversion of use, demolition, new construction, or the acquisition of undeveloped land.   This environmental review with the State Historic Preservation Office is required under federal law (24 CFR 58.5(a) or 24 CFR 50.4 (a)).  

House, Pullman - c.1923Here in Washington State, in order to streamline this review process, we have developed a series of  EZ forms.  This path to compliance should only be completed by project proponents that are not trained in cultural resources regulations and review requirements such as banking institutions and community service organizations.  The EZ forms provide DAHP with the opportunity to catch eligible properties before effects occur.  Those that are determined eligible require additional review, and in many cases, a complete cultural resources survey by a trained professional is required.
