SPWF Grants
Grants are available for construction projects that create or retain traded-sector
jobs. They are limited to $500,000 or 85 percent of the project cost, whichever is
less, and are based on up to $5,000 per eligible job created or retained. Limited
grants are available to plan industrial site development for publically owned sites and
for feasibility studies.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Grants and technical assistance are available to develop livable urban communities for
persons of low and moderate incomes by expanding economic opportunities and providing
housing and suitable living environments. Non-metropolitan cities and counties in rural
Oregon can apply for and receive grants. [Oregon tribes, urban cities (Albany, Ashland, Bend,
Corvallis, Eugene, Gresham, Hillsboro, Medford, Portland, Salem and Springfield) and counties
(Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington) receive funds directly from HUD.] Funding amounts
are based on the applicant’s need, the availability of funds, and other restrictions defined in
the program’s guidelines. The maximum available grant for drinking water system projects is
$3,000,000.
All projects must meet one of three national objectives:
The proposed activities must benefit low- and moderate-income individuals.
The activities must aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
There must be an urgent need that poses a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community.

boundaries. The maximum loan amount is $3 million at any one time. The loan term can be
as long as 25 years or the useful life of the project, whichever is less. Interest rates are set by
the IFA at market rates, but not less than Treasury Notes of a similar term minus one
