The City of Ashland anticipates an annual allocation of approximately $204,812 in Community Development Block Grant funds for Program Year 2008 (July1, 2008-June 30-2009) by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Following the recommendation of the Housing Commission, the City Council has identified that $10,000 of this amount is to be awarded to the Fair Housing Council of Oregon to promote fair housing education and enforcement.
