▶445 <br />HOMELESS VETERANS <br />HOUSED SINCE 2016 <br />Olive Plaza <br />Olive Plaza, a 150- <br />unit affordable housing <br />development for very low- <br />income seniors, received <br />a $360,000 CDBG loan for <br />relocation of residents while <br />significant rehabilitation <br />took place including seismic <br />upgrades and accessibility <br />improvements. Work was <br />completed in September 2017. <br />Eugene Emergency Home <br />Repair Program <br />Fifteen very low-income <br />households received assistance <br />through Eugene’s emergency <br />home repair and accessibility <br />improvements program <br />totaling $53,000. These <br />repairs address critical health <br />and life safety issues and <br />prevent displacement and <br />homelessness. <br />City of Eugene Support for Community <br />Initiatives <br />Veterans Homelessness <br />Work to leverage $3 million in additional federal grant resources <br />that were awarded to St. Vincent de Paul in 2014 resulted in more <br />closely coordinated efforts to address homelessness among <br />veterans, over 400 veterans being housed, and over 50 avoiding <br />imminent homelessness through the local initiative dubbed <br />Operation 365. Since March 2016, 445 homeless veterans on Lane <br />County’s By-Name Homeless Veterans List have been housed. <br />Housing Policy Board <br />The City of Eugene supports the intergovernmental Housing <br />Policy Board, which acts as a forum for public input into the <br />community issues related to affordable housing. The HPB reviews <br />low-income housing issues and makes policy, funding, and other <br />recommendations regarding affordable housing to Eugene and <br />Lane County governments. The mission of the HPB is to increase <br />the availability of decent, affordable housing for low and very-low <br />income families and individuals in Lane County. <br />11 ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS October 10, 2018, Joint City-County Work Session – Item 1
