Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP)
As of March 7th, 2022, the Oregon Housing and Community Services has distributed $280+ million to more than 40,000 qualified renters who have experienced financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic and are at risk of homelessness or housing instability.
OERAP will cover up to 12 months of past due rent and three months of forward rent, once all past due rent is paid. Up to December 1, 2021 at 11:59pm, the program also covered past due utility costs including electricity, gas, home energy services, water, sewer, trash, internet and bulk fuels. Important Note: After December 2, 2021, the program NO LONGER covers utility costs.
Program funds will be prioritized based on need; it is not first come, first served. Everyone who turns in a completed application will have their application reviewed. This program is offered to Oregonians regardless of their immigration status and will not impact the recipient's eligibility for other federal programs such as SNAP or Medicaid.
Please click here to check your eligibility and apply. If you need assistance with your application materials, you reach out to your local program administrator.
