Qualified local affordable housing projects can now apply for exemptions from local system development charges during the building permit process
Eugene, OR – According to the city officials, applications are available online and must be submitted by April 26, 2024.
The SDC exemptions can go toward smaller single-unit projects, like accessory dwelling units or homes built for ownership, or toward larger, multi-unit housing projects.
Funding will be prioritized based on several criteria including the percentage of units serving the lowest income households and the percentage of units that are accessible to people with disabilities.
Exemptions are limited, and the amount applied for often exceeds the amount available. For fiscal year 2024, approximately $824,046 is available for SDC exemptions. Half of the funding will be awarded to rental housing developments and half will go to home ownership developments.
If the proposals awarded in one category do not use all the exemptions available for that category, the remaining SDC exemptions will be awarded in the other category.
