Opportunities for public input
ReOregon offers multiple ways for community members, local leaders, and stakeholders to stay informed and provide feedback:
-
Public meetings – Scheduled events where residents can learn about funding decisions, program updates, and policy changes. These hearings provide an opportunity to ask questions and share feedback on disaster recovery efforts.
-
Public comment periods – Open comment periods allow community members to submit feedback on proposed recovery projects, policy changes, and funding allocations before key decisions are made.
-
Environmental Notices – Notifications about federally funded projects that may have environmental impacts. These notices ensure transparency and provide details on environmental assessments and compliance requirements.

Notice types
Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds
The Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds informs the public that ReOregon is requesting funding for disaster recovery projects under the CDBG-DR program. These projects have been found to have
no significant impact on the environment.
This notice gives community members a chance to review and give feedback on how HUD funds will be used. The public has seven days to submit comments before the funds are released.
Early notice and review of projects in areas at risk of flooding
The Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard Designated Floodplain or Wetland informs the public about projects in federally designated floodplains or wetlands under disaster recovery programs. Managing these areas helps prevent unsafe stormwater runoff. This notice gives the public 15 days to share their comments on the use of HUD funding.
Notices of impact and release of funds
The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Notice of Request Release for Funds is for projects that need an environmental review, and the review shows no harm to the human environment. Sharing this information offers transparency and gives the public time to submit thoughts and comments for 15 days about the use of HUD funding.
