C. <br />The City represents that it provided certain loans and other financial assistance to SAVE for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Property, consisting of Community Development <br />Block Grant ("CDBG") funds (the "CDBG Funds").

("SAVE"), and Leidig’s rehabilitation and operation <br />of the Property for use as affordable housing for very low and lower income households. F.

I. The City has completed and approved all applicable <br />NEPA environmental review for the activities proposed to be undertaken under this Agreement, and has deemed the project to be categorically excluded according to 24 Code of Federal Regulations <br />Section 58.35(a)(3).
