The County of Clackamas is eligible to apply for a 2021 Community Development Block Grant from Business Oregon. Community Development Block Grant funds come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grants can be used for public facilities and housing improvements, primarily for persons with low and moderate incomes.
Approximately $12 million will be awarded to Oregon non-metropolitan cities and counties in 2021. The maximum grant that a city or county can receive is $250,000.
The county is preparing an application for a 2021 Community Development Block Grant from the Business Oregon for Clackamas County Child Care Scholarships. It is estimated that the proposed project will benefit at least 50 children/persons, of whom 100% will be low or moderate income.
A public hearing will be held by the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners at 10 a.m. on Sept. 22, 2022 at the Public Services Building, 2051 Kaen Road, Oregon City, OR 97045 (4th Floor - Board Room). The purpose of this hearing is for the Board of Commissioners to obtain citizen views and to respond to questions and comments about: community development and housing needs, especially the needs of low- and moderate-income persons, as well as other needs in the community that might be assisted with a Community Development Block Grant project; and the proposed project.
Written comments are also welcome and must be received by Sept. 22, 2022 at dstammthomas@clackamas.us Both oral and written comments will be considered by the Board of Commissioners in deciding whether to apply.
