Oregon has Dispersed Most of its Emergency Rental Assistance

OnTownMedia reports that the State of Oregon housing agency says slightly more than 39,000 households have benefited from $278.3 million in federal emergency rental assistance, nearly all of Oregon's $289 million allotment. 

The Oregon Housing and Community Services Department is not looking at 4,782 applications submitted before a December 1st pause and then will look at roughly 7,000 submitted after the portal reopened on January 26. The state will likely run out of money by early March.
