Grant and Tax Credit Programs / Migrant Million Housing Program
|
|
The 1999 Oregon Legislative Assembly allocated $1 million through SB 5511 to the Emergency Board "for migrant housing" charging Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) with administering this "Migrant Million."
The funds were made available through a Request For Proposal (RFP) process, in either grant or loan form, for entities developing or rehabilitating affordable housing designed specifically to serve a migrant farmworker population. Housing could be on- or off-farm, mobile or fixed, and for entirely migrant workers or for a mix of temporary and permanent residents. The project also had to:
- Continue to house migrant agricultural laborer populations for at least 10 years;
- Have rents (including tenant paid utilities) less than or equal to 30 percent of the migrant worker´s gross monthly income;
- Maintain applicable building code, health and habitability standards; and
- Limit residency to a maximum of nine months by any tenant household.
