The Commonwealth of Kentucky will build up to 89 single-family detached housing units, or substitute potentially a minimum number of single-family lots to build 20 multifamily units, to create replacement housing following the July 2022 southeastern Kentucky flood disaster. Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) has issued a Combined Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds
(NOIRROF) for US Department of Housing & Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funding that will be used on the project. The funds are needed on an emergency basis due to the impacts of a Presidentially declared disaster, Kentucky Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4663-KY, Declaration Date July 29, 2022). As a result, the comment periods required under 24 CFR 58.45 for the FONSI and NOI-RROF and the HUD objection period required under 24 CFR 58.74 have been combined to occur in the same 15-day period. Commenters may submit comments to the Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) and objections to HUD (
