ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1: Resolution to Adopt the Eugene-Springfield 2015 Consolidated Plan Attachment 2: Exhibit A – Eugene-Springfield 2015 Consolidated Plan Summary
DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Consolidated Plan is a HUD requirement and must be adopted every five years by communities that receive formula allocations of Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds, HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds, and
other HUD funds. The City of Springfield receives CDBG funds as a HUD entitlement community and receives HOME funds as part of a HUD consortium with the City of Eugene. As such, the two Cities complete a joint Consolidated
Plan. Both Cities also collaborate with Lane County in developing the Plan because they administer funding related to basic human services and homelessness.
While the Consolidated Plan is a requirement of HUD, the Plan primarily serves as
a tool to guide the use of federal HUD funds in the most effective and coordinated manner possible.
In summer 2014, staff from the Cities of Eugene and Springfield commenced preparation of the 2015 Consolidated Plan. The Plan, which was developed
through an extensive process including data analysis and community input and consultation, identifies housing, homelessness, and community development needs and resources and establishes priorities, strategies, and target performance goals to
address these needs using HUD funds. The public comment period for the Draft Plan ended on March 25, 2015. The
Consolidated Plan Advisory Committee comprised of members of the Springfield Community Development Advisory Committee, Eugene CDBG Advisory
Committee, and the Intergovernmental Housing Policy Board, recommended
adoption of the Draft Plan to the Eugene and Springfield City Councils on March 31, 2015. Staff has addressed all public comments received on the Draft Plan and
prepared a Final Plan for adoption by the Eugene and Springfield City Councils.
The adopted plan will be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2015. Once approved by HUD, the new Consolidated Plan will be in effect from July 1, 2015 through June
30, 2020.

Executive Summary
The Eugene-Springfield 2015 Consolidated Plan presents a strategic vision for housing and
community development for the period beginning in July 2015 and ending in June 2020. The
goals and activities outlined in the Consolidated Plan are based on priorities identified through an
analysis of community needs and on an extensive community outreach process.
The Cities of Eugene and Springfield must complete and adopt a Consolidated Plan every five
years in order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME) and other HUD grants. The purpose of CDBG and HOME is to
advance the following statutory objectives principally for extremely low-income, low-income and
moderate-income residents:
• Provide decent, safe, and affordable housing
• Create suitable living environments (CDBG)
• Expand economic opportunities (CDBG)
• Expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing (HOME)
In addition, the Cities of Eugene and Springfield must complete a Consolidated Plan One Year
Action Plan (Action Plan) for each fiscal year within the five-year period. The Action Plan
describes the Cities’ annual allocation process for specific uses of HOME and CDBG funds during
a specific fiscal year. The first Action Plan, for fiscal year 2015-2016 will be completed and
submitted to HUD along with the 2015 Consolidated Plan.
The following summary of the Eugene-Springfield Consolidated Plan provides an overview of the
Consultation and Citizen Participation process, Community Profile and Needs, Priority Needs, and
a Strategic Plan. This document is a summary of materials submitted through HUD’s electronic plan
submission template.
Each section of the complete Plan is available at the Consolidated Plan web page:

Agency Survey
In addition to these meetings, surveys were sent to 67 agency representatives, and responses
were received from 44 people. The respondents noted the lack of affordable housing units or
available land to build housing. Most indicated increases in their waiting lists. Many noted that
mental health and substance abuse was an underlying problem of the clients they served. The
largest impediment to maintaining housing was the lack of steady income. All comments were
accepted and considered in the development of the Consolidated Plan.

Information from the Public
Written Comments
Comments were received during the comment period. The first comment related to people who
are under-housed. People who are couch surfing or staying with family or friends may not be
counted as “homeless”, but people being under-housed is still a significant problem. This
population should be explicitly included in the plan, and addressed in the strategic plan. Another
comment was received to clarify that the priority need population of the unemployed or
underemployed be also explicitly included in the strategic plan.
Community Survey
A survey was developed and distributed on the internet, through social media, and at public
computer terminals at Springfield’s public libraries. Where appropriate, the agencies receiving
the provider survey were also sent the community survey and requested to send it to their clients.
A total of 92 responses were received. The survey asked respondents to describe the reasons why
affordable housing was difficult to find. The majority of respondents said that cost and the lack
of housing were the main barriers. Additionally, comments were received about the difficulty of
finding housing available to lower incomes, neighborhood quality and safety, high deposits, and
wait lists.
Many of the open-ended responses in the community survey when respondents were asked if
there was “anything else they you’d like to share” were focused around homelessness issues and
affordable housing. Affordable housing was identified as a need, with the high cost of rent, and
security and deposits. Other affordable housing-related issues raised include: Building codes and
housing quality; sidewalk repair, need for street repair; needs of populations with disabilities,
lack of employment and transportation to employment; and pet policies. Questions were also
asked about the needs of the homeless. Responses included: development of a housing-first
model; micro-housing and associated land use codes; criminalization of homelessness; and
increase in low cost single room occupancy units.
Citizen Participation Plan
A requirement of the Consolidated Plan is to develop and utilize a strategy to achieve citizen
participation. This plan was adopted in the 2010 Consolidated Plan, updated and submitted with
the 2015 Plan, and is summarized here.
The Cities will continue to encourage participation by low- and moderate-income persons
throughout the community. Emphasis will be placed on reaching out to minority populations, non-
English speaking persons, and persons with disabilities, in the preparation of the Plan. The Cities
will also notify and seek the participation of local and regional institutions and other
organizations, including businesses, developers, community and faith-based organizations, in the
development and implementation of the Plan.
Attachment 2, Page 5 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 6
The Cities will make vital information that pertains to the Plan available to the citizens, public
agencies and other interested parties on an annual basis. The information to be made available
includes the amount of assistance the Cities expect to receive, available unspent prior year’s funds
and related program income, the range of activities to be undertaken, including the estimated
amount of CDBG and other funds that will be expended on low- and moderate-income persons.
The Cities will provide interested parties with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the Plan or
on any amendments to the Plan. The Cities will consider any comments or views of interested
parties received in writing or orally, at any of the public hearings, or during the specified public
comment review period.
Meetings are announced through posting on City websites and in the Register Guard. All public
hearings are advertised in the Register-Guard Newspaper 14 days prior to the hearing.
For the development of the Consolidated Plan, one public hearing in addition to multiple public
meetings is held over the course of the program year to obtain citizen views and to respond to
proposals and questions. The hearing addresses housing and community development needs,
development of proposed activities, and review of program performance. The Public Hearing is
held prior to the proposed Consolidated Plan publication.
Public meetings are held at times convenient to potential and actual beneficiaries in locations that
meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards. With 48 hours’ notice prior to any
public meeting, the Cities can provide the following services: an interpreter and audio equipment
for the hearing impaired; a reader to review printed materials with the sight impaired, and a
foreign language interpreter for non-English speaking residents.

Community Profile and Needs
The Consolidated Plan relies upon an analysis of qualitative and quantitative data in order to
identify housing, homelessness, and community development needs and trends. This picture of
need is the basis of the proposed objectives and outcomes for the 2015 Consolidated Plan. In
addition to the US Census data which provides the foundation for development of the document,
the Cities of Eugene and Springfield utilized several alternative sources for needs data. These
sources included several documents produced by the Lane Livability Consortium including Latino
Public Participation Project and Community Indicators Project, November 2012; Assessment of
Equity and Opportunity for Affordable Housing Residents, January 2014; and the Equity and
Opportunity Assessment, July 2014.
The local economy is improving, although there is a significant number of households who cannot
meet the basic needs for food, shelter, medical care and transportation. In addition, there are a
growing number of seniors, persons with disabilities, and others who are unable to work. These
factors, combined with a very tight housing market, have resulted in a large number of households
with moderate or severe housing cost burdens. A review of noteworthy trends is provided below.
Population Growth
The overall population of Eugene and Springfield continues to grow modestly at an annual
projected population rate of 1.4%. The total population of Eugene and Springfield was 219,570
in 2013.
Age Distribution
The population of Eugene and Springfield is aging. In 2000, people aged 60 to 75 accounted for
8% of the total population. This grew to 12% in 2010. For the same period, people under 45
accounted for 67% of the population in 2000, and this has dropped to 63% in 2010.
Racial and Ethnic Composition
Eugene and Springfield are becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Latino residents are
the fastest growing population, representing 9% of the population in the two cities, and this
population has grown 83% between 2000 and 2010. Approximately 18% of the population of
the cities are either Latino or minority race.
Household Composition
Family households still make up the largest percentage of households with 54% (Eugene – 51%,
Springfield – 62%), and of those, there has been a 19% increase in the number of single female
headed households. There has also been a significant increase in single person households which
now make up 32% of all households. The largest growth in household type is non-family
households which increased 22% between 2000 and 2010.
Income and Poverty
The Median Family Income for both Eugene ($40,628) and Springfield ($39,598) is lower than
the US ($52,176) and Lane County ($41,936). The impact of wages appears in other indicators,
such as the fact that 19% of Lane County residents receive food stamp benefits (SNAP), and 50%
Attachment 2, Page 7 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 8
of students from the three Public School Districts in Eugene and Springfield are eligible for free
and reduced lunch. Low wages also contribute to financial instability. At this time, 40% of
households in Lane County do not have sufficient liquid assets to subsist at the poverty level for
three months, in the absence of income.
Below is a map showing areas with concentrations of low- and moderate-income populations in
Eugene and Springfield. The highlighted areas are census tracts where 51% or more of the
population is low- to moderate-income. In Eugene, these areas are on Highway 99, the River
Road area and the areas near downtown. Additionally, areas with large concentrations of
student housing also are identified as an area with high concentrations of low- and moderate
income populations, as many residents in these areas are attending college. In Springfield, the
concentrations of low- and moderate-income persons are in the Glenwood area, Gateway, near
downtown, and in mid-Springfield.
Persons with Disabilities
In the Cities of Eugene and Springfield, about 29,125 people, or 14%, live with one or more
disabilities. The highest reported disabilities include ambulatory (49%), cognitive (45%), and
difficulty with independent living (35%).
Persons Experiencing Homelessness
The 2014 Point in Time Count identified 1,769 people experiencing homelessness. Of those,
1,100 were unsheltered, 336 were families with children staying in a shelter, 415 were
chronically homeless, 229 were veterans, 164 were victims of domestic violence and 202 were
seriously mentally ill. For FY 2014, Lane County reported that 11,668 unduplicated individuals
Attachment 2, Page 8 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 9
who were homeless received human services from one or more agencies. The three public school
districts in Eugene and Springfield report 1,616 homeless youth during 2014, and this definition
includes students who are staying with friends or family.
Persons with Special Needs who are not Homeless
Limited new data exists specific to non-homeless special needs populations in the cities of Eugene
and Springfield. There are numerous sub-populations in this community. Of those, there are some
that have both sufficient numbers and unique housing and service needs that warrant
identification. Those include the following: veterans; children; people exiting incarceration; victims
of violence; people living with HIV/AIDS; people living with drug or alcohol addictions; and
college-age students. Children and youth aging out of foster care are newly identified special
needs population worthy of specific attention.
Employment and Economy
Employment conditions in Lane County are improving but have not yet returned to pre-Recession
levels. At its greatest, the unemployment rate in May 2009 was 12.8%. In February 2015 this
had dropped to 6.1%. According to an Oregon Employment Department March 2015 article,
between 2007 and 2010, Lane County lost 18,000 jobs. Since 2010, 9,800 jobs have been
gained. In Eugene, the unemployment remains above 11% while in Springfield the unemployment
rate is nearly 13%.
Unemployment in the region is creating a hardship not only for skilled workers, but for the new
workforce of youth 16-24 years old, at 20%. With the high unemployment and demand for
skilled workers, youth are not able to gain job experience, a situation which is shown to impact
their lives long term through lower earnings and less labor market engagement.
Housing Units and Tenure
Together, Eugene and Springfield contain more than 89,400 housing units. The balance between
unit types has remained relatively stable since 1990, with single family units accounting for 61%
of the total, multi-family units for 33% and the remainder mobile/manufactured homes. The data
also indicates that the majority of units available to renters are two-bedroom units, and the
number of two-bedroom units has remained constant near 42% since 2000. There has been an
increase in the number and percentage of three bedroom units, from 21% to 30% of all rental
units, or an increase of 5,277 units. There is a commensurate decrease in the percentage of no-
and one-bedroom units, from 38% of all rental units in 2000 to 28% in 2013, or a decrease of
1,800 units. About 51% of the housing units in the two cities are owner-occupied, with 49%
renter-occupied. This reflects a slight reduction in the number of owner occupied units since 2000
of 52%.
Assisted and Public Housing
A variety of assisted housing developments are currently available and serving low-income
persons in the cities of Eugene and Springfield. There are at total of 4,452 assisted housing units
in 113 developments in both cities, including projects subsidized with Section 8, Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits, or other project-based subsidies. Eugene and its urban growth boundary has
Attachment 2, Page 9 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 10
a total of 3,516 units in 83 developments and Springfield and its urban growth boundary has
866 units in 28 developments.
The Housing and Community Services Agency of Lane County (HACSA) serves as the housing
authority for the cities of Eugene and Springfield. There are a total of 705 public housing units,
and as of January 2015, 683 were leased. HACSA has 708 public housing vouchers available,
with 695 in use. Additionally, HACSA has 2,817 total vouchers (2,556 in use), of which 211 are
designated as Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (143 in use). For all voucher programs, 8%
are held by households with one or more persons who identify as a minority race or ethnicity.
HACSA maintains a waiting list for all of their public housing units. There are 957 people on the
one-bedroom wait list, with an average wait time of up to five years. The wait list for two-
bedroom units is 939 with a wait time of up to three years. For three-bedroom units, there are
177 families, with a one year wait. Finally, there are 56 families on the 4- bedroom wait list, and
the wait time is incalculable for the four-bedroom units because of their scarcity. The Section 8
waiting list was last opened in 2013. It is expected that when it is opened in 2015, 2,500 people
will respond to the online application. At this point in time, many vouchers holders are unable to
find suitable housing; units have rents that exceed voucher programs’ rent limitations or do not
meet the minimum habitability standards.
Housing Cost Burden
Housing costs in the Eugene-Springfield area have risen sharply over the past 25 years while
incomes have risen slowly, forcing many households to pay more for housing than is affordable.
Households paying more than 30% of household income are considered to have a ‘housing cost
burden’. A majority of the renters in Eugene (54%) and Springfield (51%) are considered housing
cost burdened, while approximately a third of home-owners are also cost burdened (Eugene –
32%, Springfield – 33%).
Housing Conditions and Lead Based Paint
In the cities of Eugene and Springfield, approximately 61% (54,600) of the total housing units
were built prior to 1980 and may contain lead-based paint. Approximately 15,641 homes pose
potential lead-based paint hazards in the cities of Eugene and Springfield.
Despite the age of the housing stock, the physical condition of the housing in Eugene and
Springfield is generally good, as there are relatively few housing units (1,279) in the area that
are considered substandard according to HUD. Of those, 97% are rental units, and 79% are
occupied by people making 50% or less of the average median income. Based on input received
during provider and public consultations, units available to low income residents tend to have
more significant issues, and because of the scarcity of affordable low-income housing, residents
are reluctant to raise their concerns for fear of losing the housing.
Manufactured dwelling parks are areas where people rent or lease a space for their
manufactured home, which they may rent or own. A manufactured dwelling is a more affordable
way for many people to own a home, or live independently in an environment for older
Attachment 2, Page 10 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 11
individuals. About 5% of the housing units in Eugene and Springfield are manufactured home park
spaces, with nearly 40% of the homes in three census tracts. These tracts are located in west
Eugene, Glenwood, and mid-Springfield.
Priority Needs
The purpose of identifying the community needs and trends, conducting surveys and meeting with
providers is to identify what the priority needs are for the low-and moderate-income households
in this community for the next five years. Listed below are the needs that were identified through
the analysis that have been identified as priority needs to address using HUD funds.
Renters
Low and very low-income people need increased access to quality affordable rental housing.
There are a total of 31,055 low-income renter households in Eugene, and 7,335 in Springfield.
• A significant majority of low-income renters experience a housing cost burden, over-
crowding, and/or substandard housing conditions(Eugene – 78%, Springfield – 76%)
• A significant majority of low-income renters spend more than 30% of their income on
housing costs (Eugene – 76%, Springfield – 74%)
• A large percentage of low-income renters spend more than 50% of their income on
housing costs (Eugene – 51%, Springfield – 34%)
Home Owners
Low and very low-income people need increased access to affordable home ownership
opportunities and support to remain homeowners. There are 6,830 low-income owner occupied
households in Eugene, and 3,860 in Springfield.
• A significant majority of low-income owners experience a housing cost burden, over-
crowding, and/or substandard housing conditions (Eugene – 76%, Springfield – 57%)
• A significant majority of low-income owners spend more than 30% of their income on
housing costs (Eugene – 64%, Springfield – 56%)
• A large percentage of low-income owners spend more than 50% of their income on
housing costs (Eugene – 40%, Springfield – 31%)
Homeless
People need access to housing and supportive services to prevent them from becoming homeless
and to leave homelessness.
• The 2014 Point in Time Count identified 1,769 people experiencing homelessness.
• Of those, 1,100 were unsheltered, 336 were families with children staying in a shelter,
415 were chronically homeless, 229 were veterans, 164 were victims of domestic violence
and 202 were seriously mentally ill.
Attachment 2, Page 11 of 17
EUGENE – SPRINGFIELD CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015
April 6, 2015 Page 12
• Lane County reported that 11,668 unduplicated individuals who were homeless received
human services from one or more agencies in fiscal year 2014.
• The three public school districts in Eugene and Springfield report 1,616 homeless youth
during 2014, and this definition includes students who are staying with friends or family.
The definition of homeless for purposes of the Plan includes people who are “doubled-up”.
Non-Homeless Special Needs Populations
People with special needs need additional support for housing and supportive services. This
includes seniors, ex-offenders, people with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, people with
drug and alcohol addictions, people who are evicted or foreclosed, people with physical and
mental disabilities, veterans, youth and college students, and youth aging out of foster care.
• Special needs populations need additional support as it relates to affordable housing,
human services, employment opportunities, and accessibility improvements in housing and
public facilities.
Employment Opportunities
People who have low-incomes, are unemployed or underemployed need a broader range of
employment opportunities, including self-employment
• Between 2007 and 2010, Lane County lost 18,000 jobs.
• The loss of jobs combined with the subsequent recession, have widened the gap between
employed wages and housing costs.
Low-Income Areas and Areas of Slums and Blight
Geographic areas defined as areas of slums or blight or as low-income areas need additional
support for rehabilitation and public facility improvements
• There are several areas in this community that are or could meet the HUD requirement for
an area of slums and blight which would allow different uses of CDBG funds. These areas
could benefit from increased investments in the area.
• There are several areas of this community that are characterized by 51% or more low- to
moderate-income residents, which can benefit from increased investments in this area.

Strategic Plan
After identification of the priority needs, strategies are developed that address those priority
needs. Below is a summary of the strategies that have been identified that both meet priority
needs and are also eligible uses of HUD funds. A table following this section shows the
relationship between identified strategies and the priority needs of Eugene and Springfield for
use of federal funds received from HUD.
Increase the supply of affordable housing.
Housing affordability challenges illustrate that it is necessary to continue to add units to the stock
of affordable housing. The Cities of Eugene and Springfield will use a combination of HOME and
CDBG funds for land and development subsidies for new construction of affordable housing, as
well as for assistance to non-profit sponsors to build capacity for new development. This strategy
will address the priority needs and support projects to meet the needs of of renters, the homeless,
and special needs populations, including seniors, ex-offenders, people with HIV/AIDS, victims of
domestic violence, people with drug and alcohol addictions, people who are evicted or
foreclosed, people with physical and mental disabilities, veterans, youth and college students, and
youth aging out of foster care.
Rehabilitate existing housing stock affordable to low-income persons.
In addition to adding units, continued efforts are necessary to preserve existing rental and
ownership housing for low-income persons. The Cities of Eugene and Springfield primarily use
CDBG funds for this purpose, and use funds to provide assistance for minor home repairs and
accessibility improvements. Additionally, the City of Eugene operates a Housing Revolving Loan
Pool with CDBG funds for rental rehabilitation and owner rehabilitation loans. This strategy will
address the priority needs of renters, home owners, the homeless, low-income areas, and special
needs populations, including seniors, ex-offenders, people with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic
violence, people with drug and alcohol addictions, people who are evicted or foreclosed, people
with physical and mental disabilities, veterans, youth and college students, and youth aging out of
foster care.
Provide down payment assistance for home ownership.
Both the Cities of Eugene and Springfield operate down payment assistance programs to help
low-income persons become homeowners. The assistance received by each household is modest
but plays a critical role in enabling them to become homeowners. In addition, the units vacated by
households receiving homebuyer assistance become available to other renters. As part of efforts
to affirmatively further fair housing, the Cities of Eugene and Springfield work together to
enhance home ownership opportunities for persons of minority race and ethnicity. This strategy
will address the priority needs of home owners.
Remove barriers to affordable and supportive housing.
Both the Cities of Eugene and Springfield seek opportunities to affirmatively further fair housing
and also raise awareness of the housing needs of low- and moderate-income persons, so these

may be considered in the development of related policies and regulations. This strategy will
address the priority needs of renters, home owners, the homeless, and low-income areas.
Support a human services delivery system to address the needs of homeless persons and special
needs populations.
The Cities of Eugene and Springfield collaborate with Lane County to fund human service
providers. This collaborative funding model uses available federal, state and local funds to
efficiently support local agencies. The Human Services Commission is the intergovernmental body
that guides the use of funds and oversees the activities of agencies receiving funds. In addition,
both the Cities of Eugene and Springfield provide capital grants for public facilities operated
primarily by nonprofit service providers. This strategy will address the priority needs of the
homeless and special needs population, including seniors, ex-offenders, people with HIV/AIDS,
victims of domestic violence, people with drug and alcohol addictions, people who are evicted or
foreclosed, people with physical and mental disabilities, veterans, youth and college students, and
youth aging out of foster care.
Promote economic development and employment opportunities through the creation of jobs and
business development.
The Cities of Eugene and Springfield will use CDBG funds to undertake economic development
activities resulting in job creation for low- and moderate-income households. The City of Eugene’s
Business Development Fund will continue to provide loans to local businesses resulting in job
creation or retention. This Fund operates primarily with program income from previous business
loans. The City of Springfield has initiated a similar program to provide loans to local businesses
and will continue to provide such loans. Both Eugene and Springfield expect to continue support of
microenterprise training for low- and moderate-income persons. This strategy will address the
priority needs of increasing employment and self-employment opportunities, for people who are
unemployed or underemployed.
Make strategic investments to improve low-income neighborhoods and other areas of slums and
blight.
Both the Cities of Eugene and Springfield will consider strategic investments in capital
improvement projects serving eligible areas. Such projects may include public infrastructure and
other facilities. This strategy will address the priority needs of renters, home owners, homeless,
special needs, low-income areas and slums and blight, and employment opportunities.
