$1 Million in Funding Available for Emergency Shelter & Housing

September 30, 2022 - The City of Corvallis is seeking funding proposals to help shelter or house people experiencing houselessness in our community.

Up to $1 million in funding from the Oregon Legislature is available. This opportunity is intended to fund projects that can create emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing, with financial support for accompanying service provisions.

“We are thankful the state provided this one-time funding so service providers can create more safe, warm and dry places for our houseless community members,” said Community Development Director Paul Bilotta. “The City is prepared to work quickly to expedite the review process for projects that qualify for funding under this opportunity.”

Interested organizations should review the Request for Proposals on the City website. Letters of interest must be submitted by 5 p.m. October 19. Applications will be reviewed by the Housing Committee in November, with a funding recommendation forwarded to the City Council for final approval.

For more information on this request for proposals, contact Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager Brigetta Olson at 541-766-6555 or brigetta.olson@corvallisoregon.gov.
