City offers grant funding for housing

The City of Sisters has established an affordable housing program to offer eligible agencies and private developers grant and/or loan funds for purposes of constructing and offering affordable housing to low-and moderate-income persons in the City.

The applicant must be a housing authority, a qualified nonprofit organization that constructs affordable housing, or a for-profit developer of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.

The applicant must demonstrate compliance with all eligibility requirements and conditions including: the project for which program funds are sought must be an eligible qualified project and the applicant must apply for program funds on the City’s current program application.

Application forms for program funds were available at Sisters City Hall or at http://www.ci.sisters.or.us as of January 12. Each application must be filed with the administrator no later than March 1.
