$204 Million to Give to Oregon Renters but $174 Million Remains Undistributed by State as Evictions Loom

According to the Oregon Housing and Community Services (ODHCS) website, the program "will distribute $204 million to qualified renters who have experienced financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic and are at risk of homelessness or housing instability."

To keep everyone updated on the status of the availability of this assistance, ODHCS has a public dashboard with the statistical information available to keep the public up-to-date on the distribution of this huge amount of rental relief.

As of Monday, August 30, 2021 here is the statewide summary:

Funding Available: $204 million

Funding approved: $29,856,593

Amount paid:         $19,545,630*

Households approved for payment:: 4,614

Households paid: 4,238

*Note: The dashboard contains a caveat that due to various county reporting procedures, the actual amount distributed may be closer to the $29 million figure.
