We did it!
We got the grant application in and it is now under review by the OEM/FEMA team!
THANK YOU to all that supported this effort. Volunteers from Think Tank Tuesday and the Row River Valley Community Partnership Board really HUSTLED and we got a total of 136 names! We have submitted them ALL! So, officially we have spoken to and received information from over 200 people since we began this mitigation outreach. That is nearly HALF of Row River Valley homes! INCREDIBLE!
Thank you beautiful people for helping us get fully prepared for this important opportunity.
We will let you know as soon as we find out about our status. It is competitive, but we have been told we have a good chance... BECAUSE OF YOU!

Lane County 2026 Community Needs Survey is now Live

This survey is meant to take 10-15 minutes to complete and asks about services such as housing, shelter, services for low-income housed & unhoused community members, education, employment, transportation, and health.

Responses will help the Lane County Housing and Community Team understand gaps and needs within Lane County across demographics and regions. This information hopefully will be used to prioritize programming and funding to directly address the identified service gaps. The survey will be available to take through May 16 and is available in English and Spanish. Please share far and wide with anyone who wishes to share their opinions.
