NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS December 12, 2025 City of West Sacramento 1110 West Capitol Avenue West Sacramento, CA 95691 (916) 617-4555 On or about December 20, 2025 the City of West Sacramento (City) will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title 1 of the Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended, to undertake a project known as Westwood Motel Homeless Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Project that would consist of interior and exterior rehabilitation of a blighted motel property to facilitate its use as interim supportive housing for homeless and at-risk of becoming homeless individuals in West Sacramento. The property is along a motel row that developed along the old Lincoln Highway route between the early 1940s to the mid-1950s. Exterior rehabilitation will consist of: siding repairs, repair of damaged framing, installation of new lap siding, exterior painting of all buildings, repair and replacement of non-original roofing with asphalt shingles, fascia repairs (as needed), replacement of electrical panels and receptacle covers, replacement of windows, and general site cleanup. No below-grade work that would require ground disturbance will occur. Interior refurbishment work for each unit includes new toilets, sinks, and vanity; new HVAC, new electrical switches and lighting, painting, new ADA-compliant door handles, new keycard entry locksets, and window screen installations. Repairs to the units will be conducted as needed and may include door jamb repairs, wall repairs, vinyl flooring repairs, repair or replacement of windows and showers. No new construction is proposed as part of this project, only rehabilitation. The City anticipates using CDBG funds in the amount $550,452.41 for construction and purchase of materials. The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58.35 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.
