We are excited to announce the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for services that are eligible for funding through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) public service activities under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program is administered at the local level by City staff, but is subject to federal regulations (24 CFR 570). Eligible services will generally be focused on housing and/or community development activities that serve low-income Corvallis community members.

At the time of this RFP issuance, HUD has not yet released funding amounts for FY 2025-2026 CDBG and HOME funding. This amount is estimated based on funding received by the City of Corvallis in FY 2024-2025. The actual level of funding received by the City of Corvallis may vary from this estimated amount. All funds referenced within the RFP will be available after July 1, 2025, following an Annual Action Plan approved by Corvallis City Council and HUD. Funding released to subrecipients may not be available until Fall 2025.

Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to thoroughly read the RFP and give ample time to complete the application.
