Proposed housing center is topic of public hearing

A public hearing regarding funding for a regional housing information center will be held during the Lane County Board of Commissioners meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Public Service Building, 125 E. Eighth Ave., Eugene.

Oregon Housing and Community Services has a grant program to start regional housing centers, and two local agencies - the Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation and the Lane County Intergovernmental Housing Policy Board - have recommended that the county apply for a county-wide housing center.

The "one-stop shop" regional housing center would offer home ownership education, collect and distribute information about other programs, and market the programs.

For information, call Melinda Kletzok at 682-3747.
