Got your message regarding HUD sustainable communities program -- so sorry for the delay in responding. Have literally not had a free second since getting your message.

No, we don't have any relationship or experience with the program -- or much knowledge of it for that matter.The agency has submitted n a couple support letters for local communities that have applied for grants. I believe Beaverton received one and Portland applied twice and was not funded.

Would be happy to participate in a call and learn more!

Wishing you safe travels!

Karen

P.S. Spent an hour on the phone with Ryan after our call. Time well spent. We're on a good path.
