WHO WE ARE

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is Oregon's housing finance agency. We provide financial and program support to create and preserve opportunities for quality, affordable housing for Oregonians of lower and moderate income.

Our vision is that all Oregonians can pursue prosperity and to live free from poverty. Across Oregon, housing has emerged as a paramount concern.

The lack of available housing, high rents and high home prices are driving rapid increases in housing instability and homelessness.

The data is clear : too many Oregonians are without a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

OHCS is placing a greater emphasis on strategic planning and the way we invest our resources. Recently, we have restructured, refocused, and reimagined our agency.

Our work has led to an increased emphasis on data, research, and customer service. We are carrying that effort forward with the Statewide Housing Plan.

The plan articulates the extent of Oregon's housing problem and what we can do to address it. OHCS committed to the Housing Stability Council and our stakeholders that the plan will be responsive to the needs of the state.

OHCS released its 2022 Progress Report to update the agency's significant progress in meeting the goals outlined in the 2019 Statewide Housing Plan.

We are now more than halfway into the five-year plan.
