This Worksheet was designed to be used by those “Partners” (including Public Housing Authorities, consultants,
contractors, and nonprofits) who assist Responsible Entities and HUD in preparing environmental reviews, but legally
cannot take full responsibilities for these reviews themselves. Responsible Entities and HUD should use the RE/HUD
version of the Worksheet.
