For activities under a grant that generally would be subject to re- view under part 58, HUD may make a finding in accordance with §58.I l(d) and may itself perform the environmental review under the provisions of part 50 of this title if the recipient objects in writing to the responsible entity's per- forming the review under part 58. Irre- spective of whether the responsible en- tity in accord with part 58 (or HUD in accord with part 50) performs the envi- ronmental review, the recipient shall supply all available. relevant informa- tion necessary for the responsible enti- ty (or HUD. if applicable) to perform for each property any environmental review required by this part.

Sept. 29, 20031 § 583.235 Renewal grants. (a) Genera/. Grants made under this part, and grants made under subtitles C and D (the Supportive Housing Dem- onstration and SAFAH, respectively) of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless As- sistance Act as in effect before October 28, 1992, may be renewed on a non- competitive basis to continue ongoing leasing, operations, and supportive services for additional years beyond the initial funding period. To be con- sidered for renewal funding for leasing, operating costs, or supportive services, recipients must submit a request for such funding in the form specified by HUD, must meet the requirements of this part, and must submit requests within the time period established by HUD. (b) Assistance available. The first re- newal will be for a period of time not to exceed the difference between the end of the initial funding period and ten years from the date of initial occu- pancy or the date of initial service pro- vision. as applicable. Any subsequent renewal will be for a period of time not to exceed five years. Assistance during each year of the renewal period, sub- ject to maintenance of effort require- ments under § 583.150(a) may be for: (1) Up to 50 percent of the actual op- erating and leasing costs in the final year of the initial funding period: (2) Up to the amount of HUD assist- ance for supportive services in the final year of the initial funding period: and 254 Ofc. of Asst. Secy., Comm. Planning, Develop., HUD § 583.300 (3) An allowance for cost increases. (c) HUD review. (1) HUD will review the request for renewal and will evalu- ate the recipient's performance in pre- vious years against the plans and goals established in the initial application for assistance, as amended. HUD will approve the request for renewal unless the recipient proposes to serve a popu- lation that is not homeless, or the re- cipient has not shown adequate progress as evidenced by an unaccept- ably slow expenditure of funds. or the recipient has been unsuccessful in as- sisting participants in achieving and maintaining independent. living. In de- termining the recipient's success in as- sisting participants to achieve and maintain independent living. consider- ation will be given to the level and type of problems of participants. For recipients with a poor record of suc- cess, HUD will also consider the recipi- ent's willingness to accept technical assistance and to make changes sug- gested by technical assistance pro- viders. Other factors which will affect HUD's decision to approve a renewal request include the following: a con- tinuing history of inadequate financial management accounting practices, in- dications of mismanagement on the part of the recipient, a drastic reduc- tion in the population served by the re- cipient. program changes made by the recipient without prior HUD approval, and loss of project site. (2) HUD reserves the right to reject a request from any organization with an outstanding obligation to HUD that is in arrears or for which a payment schedule has not been agreed to, or whose response to an audit finding is overdue or unsatisfactory.

(2) The recipient must adopt proce- dures to make available information on the existence and locations of facili- ties and services that are accessible to persons with a handicap and maintain evidence of implementation of the pro- cedures. (d) Accessibility requirements. The re• cipient must comply ‘vith the new con- 24 CFR Ch. V (4-1-05 Edition) struction accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the reasonable accommodation and reha- bilitation accessibility requirements of section 504 as follows: (1) All new construction must meet the accessibility requirements of 24 CFR 8.22 and, as applicable. 24 CFR 100.205. (2) Projects in which costs of reha- bilitation are 75 percent or more of the replacement cost of the building must meet the requirements of 24 CFR 8.23(a). Other rehabilitation must meet the requirements of 24 CFR 8.23(b). )58 FR 13871. Mar. 15. 1993, as amended at 59 FR 33894. June 30. 1994: 61 FR 5210. Feb. 9. 1996: 61 FR 51176.
