Welcome to Oregon Housing and Community Services

Oregon Housing and Community Services provides resources for Oregonians to reduce poverty and increase access to stable housing. Our intentional focus on housing and community services allows the agency to serve Oregonians across the housing continuum, including preventing homelessness, providing housing stability supports, financing the building and preservation of affordable housing, and encouraging homeownership.

Our stories: Creating pathways to housing for Oregonians

Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is delivering real, human-centered solutions, changing lives and building stronger communities.

In early January, Governor Kotek announced the extension of Executive Order 24-02 to continue efforts to reduce homelessness in Oregon. Since the emergency homelessness response began in January 2023, OHCS has made substantial progress. However, continued support and resources are needed to maintain our commitment to making life better for the communities we serve.

As a result of funding and action, the broader statewide homelessness response effort, including the emergency response, it is estimated that by the end of June 2025:

5,500 shelter beds will be funded by the State of Oregon
3,300 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness will be rehoused
24,000 households will have been prevented from experiencing homelessness
