Amarillo advances $208,334 home project on N. Monroe Street

The City of Amarillo has advanced a proposal to build one single-family home on a vacant lot at 1110 N. Monroe St., using $80,000 in federal HOME Investment Partnerships funds toward a stated total project cost of $208,334.50.

On July 13, 2026, the city issued a Finding of No Significant Impact and a Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds for the project. The notice means the city completed the environmental review step described in the public record and determined that the proposed work would not have a significant impact on the human environment.

The determination also states that a federal Environmental Impact Statement was not required. It is an environmental finding, not confirmation that the home has been built, occupied or funded for construction.

What the project includes

The project is planned for a vacant lot at 1110 N. Monroe St., Amarillo, TX 79107. The city’s Community Development Department is identified as the responsible agency in the notice.

The proposal calls for one single-family dwelling. The project’s total cost is listed as $208,334.50, with $80,000 coming from the federal HOME program. The approved notice identifies the project as a Community Housing Development Organization project.

The public record also names the Amarillo Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development among the entities connected to the notice. The record does not identify the eventual homeowner or a construction contractor.

Public comment and the next funding step

Written public comments were due Tuesday, July 28, 2026. On or about that date, the city planned to submit a request to HUD for release of the federal funds.

That planned request was the next identified federal funding step. The notice does not establish that HUD had released the money by Aug. 6, 2026, and it does not say that construction had started.

The city made the environmental review record available for inspection at 808 S. Buchanan St. The availability of that record gives residents a location to review the documents supporting the environmental determination and the proposed use of federal funds.

Why the notice matters locally

The notice puts a specific address, project cost and federal contribution behind a single-home development proposal in Amarillo. It also gives the public a defined comment period and identifies the point at which the city intended to seek HUD’s release of funds.

For now, the confirmed action is the city’s environmental finding and notice of intent. The documents support describing the home as a proposed project moving through the federal environmental and funding process, but they do not support describing it as completed or occupied, or guaranteeing its eventual affordability beyond the project’s stated housing-program context.

The next known step in the record was the city’s planned request to HUD for release of funds on or about July 28, 2026. A later city or HUD record would be needed to confirm whether that release occurred.
