Program Background: In November 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced it awarded Oregon $422 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) to support recovery efforts following the 2020 Labor Day wildfires and straight-line winds. Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) administers these funds through ReOregon programs, aiming to help individuals, households, and communities rebuild, replace, and rehabilitate damaged or destroyed housing. Construction activity is expected to focus on areas most affected by the fires, primarily in Douglas, Jackson, Lane, Lincoln, and Marion counties. Residents will apply to the program, with many requiring reputable contractors to complete necessary work.

This event offers a great opportunity to contribute to Oregon’s recovery efforts, helping to rebuild stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.
