Brookings awarded $100,000 housing infrastructure grant for a housing needs analysis
Summary
Mayor Isaac Hodges announced the city received a $100,000 housing infrastructure grant from the Oregon Housing Infrastructure Support Fund to fund a comprehensive housing needs analysis and planning work.
Mayor Isaac Hodges told the City Council on May 12 that Brookings received a $100,000 housing infrastructure grant from the Oregon Housing Infrastructure Support Fund to support a comprehensive housing needs analysis and related planning work.
“We were one of just a handful of cities that received the maximum $100,000 grant,” Hodges said, describing the award as a proactive step to analyze local housing stock and infrastructure needs. He said the study will help the city plan infrastructure so future housing development matches available services.
Councilors received the announcement as part of mayoral remarks; no formal council action was taken at the meeting on the grant in that session. Hodges and other council members said they viewed the grant as an important step toward addressing local housing shortages and infrastructure planning.
