Multi-Family Row Housing On Ellis Blvd.

The Housing Services Division is responsible for the coordination and oversight of the federal housing and community development funds awarded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds are used to meet three goals and objectives: providing decent housing, ensuring a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunity.

Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery funding (CDBG-DR)
Disaster recovery funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been appropriated for disaster recovery from the August 2020 derecho. $57,566,000 in CDBG-DR funding has been allocated to the State for distribution, of which 80% will come into Linn County. The State has submitted their draft action plan, which details the proposed use of these funds and can be found here.
