HUD approved Oregon’s Action Plan to spend $422 million in Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to assist communities and survivors who continue to recover from the 2020 Labor Day Fires. Administered by Oregon Housing and Community Services OHCS, the federal money will be used to set up several new programs to help individuals, households and communities to recover. This effort, which is called ReOregon, will begin to provide new permanent housing in the areas most impacted by the fires in 2023. In addition, a number of new affordable housing projects for fire survivors are under construction or will be built soon.
