Jackson County does not currently have an open Community Development Block Grant for the Home Repair Program.  No funding is available at this time.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding, through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), to the State of Oregon to expand economic opportunities and provide housing and safe living environments for low to moderate-income individuals. The Oregon Business Development Department, through its Infrastructure Finance Authority, awards funds to counties and non-entitled cities through a competitive application process. Cities that receive direct funding from HUD (Ashland and Medford) are not eligible to apply through the State.

County Administration serves as the grant administrator for Jackson County, which sub-contracts with a local nonprofit to provide the housing rehabilitation program for low-moderate income homeowners. The grants directly benefits our local economy by assisting homeowners who do not qualify for financing and providing work for local contractors. The program provides zero-interest payable upon sale of the property home loans for low-moderate income homeowners to make necessary repairs to the home. The maximum amount of each homeowner loan is $25,000.Past home rehabilitation projects include; septic system repairs, heating system replacement, roof repairs, and upgrading homes for handicap accessibility. Once grant-funded home loans are paid off, the money is reinvested in the local economy through the Home Repair Program.
