News Release

Oregon Housing And Community Services And Tribal Nations Launch First-of-its-kind Housing Initiative - 02/17/26

SALEM, Ore. — The state announces the launch of the Tribal Housing Grant Fund (THGF), which is a first-of-its-kind program to provide state funds to help address the housing needs of the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon. 

 

“The Tribal Housing Grant Fund creates a new framework for how the state works with the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon,” said Gov. Tina Kotek. “It represents a meaningful step forward in honoring our government-to-government relationship and ensuring Tribes have the resources and flexibility they need to address their critical housing needs.”

 

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) and representatives from Tribal Nations, including housing directors, health and human services directors, and council members, worked for more than a year to develop the program.

 

“The Tribal Housing Grant Fund is a landmark program that elevates Tribal self-determination in a state-funded program,” said Sami Jo Difuntorum, executive director of Siletz Tribal Housing Department and Housing Stability Council member. “The THGF will provide Oregon’s Nine Federally Recognized Tribes with critical housing resources, providing flexibility in program design.”

 

“The values, culture, and housing needs of communities are best understood locally,” said OHCS Executive Director Andrea Bell. "In consultation with Oregon’s Nine Federally Recognized Tribes, the Tribal Housing Grant Fund emphasizes self-determination and flexibility in how Tribes use state resources to address local needs. Honoring Tribal sovereignty, in its richest form, calls on us to operationalize this shared value."

 

In the 2025 Legislative Session, lawmakers allocated $10 million to OHCS to establish the program. Program funds can be used for affordable rental housing and homeownership initiatives, as well as to maintain By and For Initiative-Native American Tribes of Oregon (BAFI-NATO) investments. 

 

Tribal Nations will receive funds based on a formula that was previously used by the BAFI-NATO program, where each grantee receives a base amount along with Tribal enrollment numbers.

 

To obtain the funds, grantees must submit a housing plan every biennium outlining how they will use the money.

 

Eligible THGF program activities include:

  • Homelessness response and prevention ​
  • Affordable rental housing
  • Homeownership support such as down payment and mortgage assistance
  • Land acquisition, infrastructure, development, and rehabilitation ​
  • Financial assistance and support services for households that qualify
  • Capacity building​

Visit the THGF webpage for more program details.

Oregon Housing And Community Services Earns National Recognition For Breakthrough Housing Innovation (Photo) - 02/12/26

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) has been recognized in 50 States, 50 Breakthroughs, an award showcase highlighting the most innovative and impactful public-sector projects across the United States. The honor recognizes OHCS’ Oregon Centralized Application (ORCA), a first-of-its-kind approach of how affordable housing is funded in Oregon. 

 

"Oregonians deserve a government that delivers solutions that make their lives better and more affordable — a government not stuck in outdated ways of the past that relied on excessive and elaborate bureaucracy," OHCS Executive Director Andrea Bell said. "Governor Kotek and OHCS’ ambition is not dulled by the challenges of this moment. Such a moment demands a government with the will to usher in a new era committed to operational excellence and to addressing the cost-of-living crisis people are facing. Not one or the other. OHCS’ Oregon Centralized Application (ORCA), made possible because of public servants and the expertise of our partners, is rooted in Oregonians helping Oregonians—a story of our shared humanity."

 

50 States, 50 Breakthroughs is a collaboration between the online network for public servants Apolitical, the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), and the storytelling nonprofit Humans of Public Service. The showcase features one project from every state, plus Washington, D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico—lifting up public servants who are redesigning government to better meet the moment. 

 

Oregon’s funding process, ORCA, reflects OHCS’ commitment to tackling the state’s housing affordability crisis by deploying housing investments more expeditiously and efficiently to get housing units on the ground more timely. 

 

Launched in June 2024, ORCA replaced Oregon’s fragmented and highly competitive affordable housing funding process with a single, coordinated intake system. Instead of projects incurring the cost of applying multiple times for funding through various competitive Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) with different rules, timelines, and thresholds, developers now apply through one central application and review process for all resources. 

 

Through ORCA, developers submit project applications when they are ready and are reviewed against consistent standards so that when resources become available, they can be matched to properties that are ready. This reduces the cost for project applications and effectively focuses effort by both developers and the state on sustaining and expanding affordable housing. As part of the ORCA, OHCS incorporates predevelopment and organizational capacity investments, development resource set-asides and technical advisors to support navigating state tools and processes. The result of this system change is a faster, more transparent, more equitable system, particularly for rural, Tribal, and culturally specific organizations that previously faced barriers to entry. 

 

ORCA consolidates more than 14 housing funding programs into one streamlined workflow and provides early feedback to applicants, so projects don’t stall or fail late in the process. In its first year, ORCA processed 346 intake forms representing more than 22,000 housing units, approved 42 projects, and helped create or preserve more than 4,200 affordable homes statewide. Funding now moves six times faster, and the time from award to construction has dropped by nearly one-third. 

 

"At a time when trust in government matters deeply, 50 States, 50 Breakthroughs show what effective, innovative public service looks like in action,” said James-Christian Blockwood, president and CEO of the National Academy of Public Administration. “These solutions improve outcomes in our state and local communities and offer powerful examples that strengthen public service nationwide." 

  

Brian Whittaker, executive director of Humans of Public Service, added, “Reading these stories fills us with pride. Public servants across the country are deeply committed to their communities and are finding new, thoughtful ways to serve them better.” 

  

Projects were reviewed by a panel of expert practitioners and leaders from across the public service ecosystem – spanning government, academia, technology and civic innovation. Drawing on deep experience in public sector leadership, scalable impact and innovative technologies, the reviewers helped identify initiatives demonstrating real-world impact, originality and potential to be adapted and scaled by governments nationwide. Together, they offer an encouraging view of what the future of government in the U.S. can look like. 

 

“This is about celebrating the people inside U.S. public service who are—often quietly—delivering extraordinary impact,” said Cori Zarek, Vice President of North America at Apolitical. “Across the country, public servants are finding new ways to solve complex problems and serve their communities better. The 50 States, 50 Breakthroughs list is our way of celebrating that innovation — and making sure these ideas get the attention they deserve.”

Oregon Housing And Community Services Moves Forward Funding For More Than 200 Affordable Rental Homes (Photo) - 02/10/26

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) continues steady progress to address the state’s housing supply by funding the creation and preservation of 208 affordable homes. The Oregon Housing Stability Council approved funding for five properties located in Portland, Hillsboro, and Phoenix.  

 

“The high cost of living stands in the way of the quality-of-life Oregonians deserve. For OHCS, a top priority is to use all of our tools to help realize a vision that makes Oregon life materially better and more affordable,” said OHCS Executive Director Andrea Bell. “Today is progress and we are not stopping. Under Governor Kotek's leadership, our goal is to increase housing supply, bring down costs, and address excessive red tape.” 

 

These developments will serve a diverse range of people, including wildfire survivors, communities of color, and older adults. One of these is FHX62, a project consisting of two existing market rate properties that will be converted to 100% permanent supportive housing to serve veterans and people experiencing chronic homelessness.  

   

“Do Good Multnomah (DGM) is excited to continue our partnership with OHCS through the FHX62 projects. This creative approach—repurposing existing market-rate units into 100% permanent supportive housing—directly addresses the community's urgent needs,” said Daniel Hovanas, chief executive officer at Do Good Multnomah. “Most importantly, it allows us to deliver housing this year, rather than years from now. We are grateful to Ethos Development for partnering with DGM and helping bring this vision into reality.” 

 

The projects were selected through the Oregon Centralized Application process – a first-of-its-kind approach that streamlines funding to help preserve and create more affordable housing faster and more efficiently.  

 

More detailed information regarding each project can be found in the Housing Stability Council meeting packet.

Oregon Launches Construction Loan Guarantee Program To Reduce Barriers For Affordable Housing Development (Photo) - 01/29/26

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) and the Network for Oregon Affordable Housing (NOAH) launch the Construction Loan Guarantee (CLG) Program. The program decreases risk to lenders, making it easier for developers to access construction loans to build affordable homes for people with low to moderate incomes.  

 

“This program is a critical step toward addressing Oregon’s housing shortage,” said OHCS Executive Director Andrea Bell. “The goal of this program and partnership is to concretely reduce barriers for lenders and developers, making way to get more homes built across Oregon.” 

 

In 2023, the Oregon Legislature allocated $20 million to OHCS to establish the program. Following a request for proposals (RFP) process, OHCS awarded the funding to NOAH to administer the program. Eligible projects may include single-family homes, manufactured home communities, and multifamily rentals.  

 

“NOAH is excited to be launching this Construction Loan Guarantee Program. It is designed to give lenders more confidence to invest and help projects secure better terms to ensure more affordable housing units can be developed,” said NOAH’s Deputy Director and Director of Lending Ann Remmers. “We’re especially hopeful about the impact this will have on smaller developments and rural communities, supporting both rental homes and homeownership. We encourage developers and lenders to reach out.”  

 

By providing lenders with extra financial security up front, CLG increases their ability to make loans to projects. These loans make developing affordable housing easier, creating more certainty in the face of unpredictable factors like interest rates, material costs, or supply chain issues.
