Title

California 2018 CDBG-DR Owner Occupied Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program, Butte County

Description

The California HCD will provide grants to low- to moderate-income (LMI) homeowners whose primary residence was damaged or destroyed in 2018 by disasters that occurred in Butte County. The November 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County has become California's deadliest and most destructive wildfire on record and destroyed approximately 19,000 structures, including 14,000 homes. Butte County was included in the presidentially declared disaster, DR-4407, and was also identified as a Most Impacted and Distressed Area. As a result of DR-4407, the federal government appropriated Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to support the unmet recovery needs. HCD is the lead and responsible agency for administering the CDBG-DR funds allocated to the State of California. The CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporates the NEPA EA provided as Attachment 1 and provides an inventory of environmental conditions within Butte County and analysis of the potential effects of the 2018 OOR Program on specified environmental impact categories.
