All potential applicants are encouraged to contact <br />staff to discuss their project and potential uses of available resources <br />as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Eugene’s Affordable Housing program has provided HOME funding <br />for a number of successful projects recently, including: Bothy <br />Cottage (2014), a group home for female ex-offenders with children; <br />Stellar Apartments (2013), a 54-unit, multi-family housing complex <br />with a community building, playground, public art and community <br />garden; and Willakenzie Crossing (2012), a 56-unit, multi-family <br />complex with a supportive housing program for developmentally <br />disabled individuals to live independently. In addition to being well- <br />designed, these developments are also energy efficient to reduce costs for residents. Developments funded through the <br />Request for Proposals (RFP) process include one-, two-, and three-bedroom units available to households earning less than <br />50 percent of the area median income. The developments are distributed throughout the community, but in proximity to <br />shopping, schools, job opportunities, and public transportation. <br /> <br />The RFP process is open and competitive, resource-based awards are available upon satisfaction of the described criteria. <br />The RFP is available online at www.eugene-or.gov/development.
