Bend, Oregon: HUD Grants $5 Million to Boost Housing

Reviewed by Valencia Perez / Bendlocal.org

The City of Bend, Oregon received $5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to increase housing supply and lower housing costs. This funding was part of a national initiative, and Bend was one of 21 communities chosen for this award. The City plans to use the money to develop a five-year Housing Production Implementation Plan focusing on equity. The plan will address infrastructure limitations, the lack of affordable housing financing, data availability, and capacity challenges. The Housing Department was commended for their efforts in securing this funding. The community gathered to celebrate this achievement with HUD's Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Solomon Greene.
