HUD Funding in Oregon

Information by State  Print version

HUD provides funding in three ways:

• Mortgage insurance - provides credit enhancements for home buyers and for multifamily developers. The insurance results in additional private investment exceeding $4 billion in recent years.
  
  
• Rental Assistance - makes housing affordable for the very low-income. HUD contracts with local public housing authorities and private landlords to provide housing under the Low-Income Public Housing, Section 8 Vouchers, and the Section 8 project-based programs. Rental assistance brings in excess of $300 million to the Oregon economy.
  
  
• Grants - for housing and community development activities. HUD awards grants to local and state government, and occasionally non-profits. Awards are made either by formula distribution or by competitive process.
