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.

OHCS 2023 annual report

The Annual Report highlights and documents the work of Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) in 2023.

It includes key data points, stories, program and policy updates, photos, and more. This work would not be possible without agency partners across Oregon. OHCS is just one of many organizations across the state working to address Oregon’s housing challenges.

OHCS releases final report on five-year Statewide Housing Plan

OHCS has announced monumental progress in improving housing outcomes for all Oregonians with the release of the final report on Oregon’s first-ever Statewide Housing Plan. The five-year housing plan was launched in July 2019 with a bold, shared vision: to ensure every person across Oregon has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

The past five years have been transformative for OHCS as it focused on its six priorities: equity and racial justice, homelessness, permanent supportive housing, affordable rental housing, homeownership, and rural communities. The state has delivered on these ambitious priorities, surpassing nearly all goals.
