June 26, 2024

City of Albany; P.O. Box 490; Albany, OR 97321-0144
Phone: 541-917-7550 

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Linn Benton Housing Authority in the City of Albany.  

Request for Release of Funds

On or about July 12, 2024, the City of Albany will authorize Linn Benton Housing Authority to submit a request to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers under section 8(o)(19) of the US Housing Act of 1937, as modified by the requirements in The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, to undertake a project known as Valor Place Apartments for the purpose of providing housing for low-income veteran residents at 2080 Queen Ave SE in Albany, OR. The project is estimated to be $11 million to complete all phases. 

Finding of No Significant Impact

The City of Albany has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment.  Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required.  Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) online at albanyoregon.gov/cdbg and on file at Albany Community Development Department, 333 Broadalbin Street SW Albany, Oregon and may be examined or copied weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. and at the main Public Library, 2450 14th Avenue SE and may be examined or copied between 12:00 and 6:00 P.M. Tuesday to Friday and 1:00 to 5:00 P.M. Saturday.
