Agency Request Budget

In the last two legislative sessions, the Legislature allocated nearly $1.6 billion in housing and homelessness initiatives across multiple state agencies. Since then:

70,000 people provided with homeless services in just one year
10,200 affordable rental units created or preserved
500 new homeownership units created
1,100 households kept out of foreclosure through the Homeowner Assistance Fund
5,000 people helped with financial education and counseling via local homeownership centers
985 new homeowners through the Oregon Residential Loan program

2025-27 Agency Request Budget

As we look forward to the next biennium, we are developing a comprehensive draft budget request to address key housing and homelessness priorities in alignment with Governor Kotek’s continued focus on delivering outcomes. Your partnership and feedback are crucial during this process.

Partner engagement opportunities

We will collect input from partners in a few ways, beginning with virtual town halls. During each event, OHCS staff will provide additional details and welcome partner input on focused topics.
