2023-25 Housing Planning Assistance Notice

This message is to provide notice of funding availability for housing planning assistance to local governments seeking to increase housing production, affordability, and choice in the 2023-25 biennium. To apply, please review the linked materials below and return the application form(s) to [email protected] with your Regional Representative copied by close of business on July 31, 2023.

This funding was allocated by the Oregon Legislature during the 2023 Session to assist local governments in critical housing planning work. Since last biennium, DLCD staff have made several changes to the application process to make completing an application an easier and more straightforward process. Attached are four documents providing detailed context and instructions to complete the application:

  1. one-page summary of the various grant programs available at DLCD.
  2. grant packet providing detailed information about housing planning assistance priorities.
  3. An application form with detailed instructions on how to apply for assistance.
  4. sample work program containing detailed tasks and products for a variety of common project types that an applicant may request.

Please review these materials in detail to prepare your application. In addition to these materials, the DLCD Housing Team held and recorded a webinar available online explaining the application process. Additionally, the team will hold a follow-up question and answer session during our regularly scheduled Open Forum on June 5, 2023 from 10:30a to 12p. To participate in that meeting, please join the following virtual meeting link at that time:

Zoom link | Meeting ID: 265 799 1542 | Passcode: 664570

Because this is a competitive application process, not every community project identified in this application will be funded. However, we will do our best to maximize our available resources while ensuring each project has the resources necessary for success. Prioritization of projects will be determined based on the factors identified in the attached Planning Assistance Grant Packet. To increase the likelihood that your jurisdiction will receive assistance, please read the attachments carefully and respond to the criteria listed in the application.

Additionally, please note that at this time, the full scope and amount of grant funding for the 2023-2025 biennium for housing-related planning support is still tentative and contingent upon approval from the Legislature.

If you have questions about the Housing Planning program or projects funded by this round of planning assistance, please contact the Housing Team at [email protected].

If you have questions about the Grant Program or application process, please contact:

Angela Williamson, Grants and Periodic Review Administrative Specialist, at [email protected].

For all correspondence, please include the appropriate Regional Representative:
