Nearly $9 million in com m unity
developm ent grant aw ards were an
nounced today by the Oregon E co
nomic D evelopm ent Department.
Thirty-nine cities and counties
will benefit from the grants, which
will help improve housing and com
m unity-based services in rural com
m unities throughout the state.
The Com m unity D evelopm ent
Block G rant (CD BG ) program , ad
m inistered by the Econom ic D evel
opm ent Department, offers federally-
funded grants for projects targeted at
critical needs o f low and moderate
incom e people and their com m uni
ties. The Oregon Economic D evelop
m ent D epartm ent receives about $14
m illion per year from the U.S. D e
partm ent o f Housing and Urban D e
velopm ent for this program.
“Businesses grow and prosper in
O regon when com m unities grow and
p ro sp e r,” G overnor R oberts said.
“T hese grants help com m unities with
the housing and services they need to
maintain their quality o f life and at
tract and keep good jobs.”
“W e believe that community d e
velopm ent projects, such as those re
ceiving grants today, are a critical
factor in m aintaining O regon’s liv
ability,” said Bill Scott, Oregon E co
nomic D evelopm ent D epartm ent D i
rector. “W ithout adequate housing
and services such as childcare and
H ead start cen ters, health clin ics,
em ergency shelters, and senior cen
ters, O regon fam ilies have a m uch
h ard er tim e surviving in to d a y ’s
econom y.” Scott said the departm ent
finds that projects benefitting com
m unities and families are a key part o f
economic development.
T he b e n efitin g co u n ties are:
Baker, Benton, Clatsop, Colum bia,
Coos, Crook, Curry, D ouglas, G rant,
Jackson, Jefferson Josephine, K la
m ath, Lake, L ane, L incoln, L inn,
M alheur, M arion, Polk, Tillam ook,
Umatilla, W allowa, W asco, and Y am
hill county.

Is the lack of a down payment keeping you from owning a
home?
American State Bank may be able to help you. We have just
established a program to lower our standard required 20%
down payment on conventional home loans to just 5% for
qualifying low-income families.
If you have a good “track-record" of paying rent, a good
credit history, are a low-income family, and have enough
cash for a 5% down payment, you too could own your own
home under this program.
Come see us today!
