The City of Portland receives approximately $2.1 million annually of federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The City Council appointed the CDBG Priority Task Force to review current priorities, research needs within the community and recommend priorities to be used in the allocation of resources for the CDBG Program. Their job is to research possible emerging urban planning, public improvement and social service needs. Additionally they will analyze, deliberate, debate, and finally make recommendations to the City Council as to the most pressing needs facing our City. All interested individuals, parties or participants who would like to attend these meetings are welcome.
