Affordable Housing Intro Text

Are you looking for subsidized housing?
The City of Eugene is keenly interested in low-income housing but we do not actually own or operate any housing units ourselves. If you are looking for rental housing please contact the Lane County Housing and Community Services Agency (541-682-3755 or http://www.hacsa.org/ ) or look at the table of publicly assisted housing. Many housing units are available by contacting each development directly.

The City provides policy direction for the affordable housing effort. Our central role is to allocate funds (federal, local and private) toward housing solutions. Allocations for new construction and acquisitions take place through a public "request for proposal" process. Eugene does not own, operate, build, or manage housing. For the past 15 years Council has adopted an annual goal related to low-income housing. Since 1979 Eugene has "landbanked" sites for future low income housing. These sites are critical to the success of local housing efforts because site control is vital for obtaining other subsidies. The City also has a history of granting property tax exemptions and assistance with permit fees for public purpose housing. If you are interested in home ownership the City of Eugene does offer the Housing Assistance Program (HAP) which provides down payment assistance for those who qualify. We also offer housing rehabilitation loans.
