The City of Springfield’s proposal for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) One Year Action Plan is available for review. The City receives CDBG funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to address the affordable housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income households in our community. For FY2023, Springfield is estimated to have $1,232,122 in CDBG funds available to allocate. A 30-day public comment period on the proposed allocation of funds is currently open and will close on March 22, 2022. Springfield’s Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 to receive written and oral testimony on the City’s proposed FY2023 CDBG action plan. Springfield’s proposal for the FY2023 CDBG action plan includes the allocation of funds to rehabilitate existing housing stock affordable 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. The City continues to propose using prior year funds to increase the supply of affordable housing. The City also proposes to identify additional projects to fund with CDBG dollars through a Request for Proposals (RFP) which closes on March 15.
