The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) is appointed by the Springfield City Council to provide a means of citizen involvement in an advisory capacity to the Council in policy decisions regarding the City's housing and community development needs. One of the primary functions of the CDAC is to review proposals for CDBG and HOME Programs funding, and make recommendations to the Council for final action. This decision making process takes place annually at a public hearing, where project applicants, beneficiaries and interested members of the community are allowed to testify to the committee. The CDAC will evaluate each proposal and recommend to the City Council how to allocate funding to provide the greatest benefit to the Springfield community.

The CDAC is comprised of a representative of the City Council, a representative of the Springfield Planning Commission and six at-large members from the community. The representatives of the Council and Planning Commission serve at the will of their respective bodies. The term of at-large members is four years. At-large members must live within the city limits or urban growth boundary of Springfield. Persons of low or moderate incomes, persons with disabilities, elderly and members of racial or ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply to serve on the CDAC. If you would like more information about the CDAC, please contact the Housing Programs staff at 726-2358.
