On Jan. 4, the City of Eugene, in Oregon, announced that its Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) will provide $1 million in funding for affordable housing projects, KPIC4 reports. The AHTF is funded by a construction excise tax (Ordinance No. 20609) that the city council established in 2019 to create a source of funding for affordable housing in Eugene.
City officials say this year just over $1-million in AHTF funds are available for local innovative housing projects. Proposed rental or home-ownership projects should:
Be located in Eugene city limits;
Include at least 4 dwellings;
Meet affordability and other criteria outlined in the application; and
Submit a letter of interest by February 1 and a complete application by March 1.
