Housing Opportunities Commission 2024 11 13

The Housing Opportunities Commission meeting for the City of Eau Claire was held November 13, 2024. The commission discussed the city’s recently approved budget, which included a substantial but not yet fully allocated amount for housing-related work, combining Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and ARPA funds. Potential uses included the day resource center and the Block by Block program; staff said they would provide details as allocations and program needs were clarified. Updates also covered proposed housing developments, including two potential 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit projects totaling roughly 240–250 mixed-use units, a veteran housing project at Grace Lutheran, and manufactured and infill housing proposals. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.
