Community Development in Springfield
Community Development Block Grant
The City of Springfield receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds directly from HUD. The Primary Objective of the CDBGProgram is the development of viable urban communities.  This is achieved by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities.

HOME Investment Partnerships Program
The City of Springfield also receives an annual allocation of HOME funds from HUD as part of the Eugene-Springfield HOME Consortium. HOME can provide support to many housing activities and housing-related services that will benefit low income persons in Springfield.
Springfield uses its CDBG and HOME funds to assist a variety of neighborhood and community development activities. For a more in depth look at these resources, please view the PowerPoint presentation "Getting to Know CDBG and HOME".

The CDAC reviews these project proposals and makes funding recommendations to the Council.
