Housing Support Services

Getting Started

Do you need help with rent and utility costs, a down payment for a home, or financial counseling to navigate housing challenges? ReOregon’s Housing Support Services connects households affected by the wildfires and straight-line winds of 2020 with safe, affordable, and permanent housing solutions.

See if you qualify

You may be eligible for Housing Support Services if:

You were affected by the wildfires and straight-line winds of 2020, which include the 242, Almeda, Archie Creek, Beachie Creek, Echo Mountain, Holiday Farm, Lionshead, Riverside, and South Obenchain fires.
At the time of the disasters, you lived in an impacted county. Your primary residence was located in Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, or Marion County.
Your current household income is at or below your county’s limit for area median income (AMI). Review your county's information based on the number of people in your household to see if you are within 120% of AMI.

Depending on the program, priority will be given to households at or below 80% of AMI and those with verified home losses.

Our programs

We offer three types of assistance: help with rent and utility costs, guidance on financial and housing challenges, and support for homebuyers with down payment and closing costs.

One application covers all programs you qualify for.

We are now accepting applications for Intermediate Housing Assistance! Before you apply, see what documents are required.

Intermediate Housing Assistance (IHA)

IHA provides temporary homes and financial support for short-term housing needs such as rent and utility costs. Note that participants are required to pay 30% of their monthly income toward rent.

Housing Counseling Services

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-certified housing counselors will provide in-depth assistance to individuals and families on a wide range of financial and housing-related topics to create personalized action plans to achieve housing needs and goals. Services may include household budgeting, eviction protection, legal aid, and more.

Down Payment Assistance Program

This pathway provides help with down payments and closing costs for qualified homebuyers who may need additional financial support.

A home must be purchased within one of the eight affected counties, but it does not have to be in the county where your previous home was damaged or where you currently live.
