The general fund grant program, administered by the community services division, is funded by the Oregon legislature. Changes to the grant program can arise based on changes in state priorities, the economy, and other factors. In general, the funding follows the state's two-year budget cycle and is part of DLCD's agency budget.
Technical Assistance Grants The Technical Assistance (TA) grants are competitive awards to local communities that fund projects to update a comprehensive plan, to update local land use ordinances, or other planning compliance projects.

In the past this grant program awards communities with funds to complete tasks associated with their periodic review work program . However, with a reduction of funding in the department’s technical assistance grant program in 2009, the department and commission have not required any local governments to initiate a periodic review program since then.
The department encourages local governments to voluntarily initiate periodic review, and will work with those local governments to provide resources to help with those efforts if funds are available. Contact a DLCD Regional Representative for details about initiating a periodic review program and schedule/deadlines.
Other Grant Programs at DLCD The Transportation and Growth Management Program and the Oregon Coastal Management Program also administer grant programs for Oregon communities. Both grant programs fund land use planning projects and are dependent on state and federal funds.
