Proposed Use of CDBG Funds

increase the supply of affordable housing;


	Ramp in Springfield built through the Emergency Home Repair program

rehabilitate existing housing stock affordable to low-income persons;
provide down payment assistance for home ownership to low-income persons;
support the Lane County Human Services Commission to address the needs of homeless persons and special needs populations; and
administer the grant to meet federal requirements.

Proposed substantial amendments to prior CDBG action plans also allocate funds toward increasing the supply of affordable housing. Learn more here.

Background

The City of Springfield receives an annual allocation of CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary purpose of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income.

Every five years, the Cities of Springfield and Eugene develop a Consolidated Plan, which provides an assessment of needs of low- and moderate-income persons and a strategic five-year plan for taking actions to address those needs using CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds. This One-Year Action Plan describes specific actions Springfield will undertake in Fiscal Year 2018-19 with CDBG funds.
