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 Building Oregon's Future: 2023 Annual 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.

DISASTER RECOVERY & REILIANCE
The Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services (OHCS) has established a new division to manage recovery from major disasters. The Recovery & Resilience section will administer long-term state and federal grants to benefit disaster survivors and impacted communities in Oregon. Primarily, the division is recovering from the major disasters that occurred during Labor Day Weekend of 2020 when fires caused the loss of nearly 4,200 homes in the state. The Oregon Legislature allocated $150 million in specific wildfire recovery along with substantial affordable housing funding which will be applied to disaster impacted regions, and the federal government is expected to allocate resources to the recovery as well. OHCS has set aggressive goals to replace as much of the lost housing as it possibly can, and to provide a comprehensive recovery for individuals impacted by the fires. This division is a key function of OHCS and will develop innovative business practices within the agency through the administration of multiple CDBG-DR programs for recovery and resilience including HARP, HOP, IHA, PIER, and others. Under the CDBG-DR grant, DRR plans to carry out multiple Substantial Action Plan Amendments (SAPAs), which will likely result in significant program changes, the addition of new programs, and the development of updated and/or new policies and reporting requirements.
