Good afternoon Board Members –
Butte County was awarded just over $61 million after the Camp Fire to finance multifamily housing.
The County is allowed to utilize its allocation to finance developments in incorporated jurisdictions
within the County.
The County’s RFP for projects closed October 5, 2021. The County received 10 project proposals. Six
of the proposals are for development in Chico, three in Oroville, and one in Gridley. The County’s
administrative consultant reviewed all the proposals and worked with County staff to determine if
these projects should be recommended to HCD for funding. Two of the projects also applied to the
City of Chico for CDBG-DR funds and will be fully funded by the City’s allocation. The County has
recommended the remaining projects to HCD for a conditional commitment of funding.
The projects target large families, seniors, and residents with special needs. If all projects are funded
and developed, they will add nearly 500 housing units in Butte County.
The next step in the process if for HCD to review the proposed development and provide a
conditional commitment. This allows the developments to move forward with environmental
assessments. We anticipate this step taking 45 days.
The County has $3 million left in its allocation and is working to issue an RFP for a second round of
funding. We anticipate publishing this early next year.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the CDBG-DR multifamily housing efforts.
Thank you.
Casey
