January 26, 2010 - Paul G. Allen Family Foundation Awards $50,000 to Umpqua CDC

This funding will help meet the increasing demand for foreclosure counseling, with the goal of assisting 700 Oregon homeowners facing foreclosure.

August 21, 2009 Umpqua CDC Awarded $900,000 in Federal Stimulus funding to Help with the Foreclosure Crisis. 

Funds will be used in two ways; 1) for Umpqua CDC to acquire foreclosed properties for rentals or to resell to low income homebuyers, and 2) for Umpqua CDC to provide deferred zero interest loans to homebuyers for them to purchase foreclosed properties.  These funds will help reduce the inventory of empty foreclosed properties throughout our service area of Coos, Curry, and Douglas Counties.
