HISTORY

Umpqua CDC (Umpqua) was incorporated in 1991 to develop affordable housing in central Douglas County, a critical need due to the area's near-zero rental vacancy rate.

In 11 years, Umpqua has grown from one half-time staff person to 13 full-time employees. Its service area has expanded to cover three rural counties in Central Oregon stretching from the coast to the mountains, with a total population of about 200,000. Its mission has expanded to include economic development.
