Asset Management: What We Do

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) asset managers evaluate the agency's multifamily housing portfolio to identify financial risk and perform in-depth analyses to discover areas of concern in operations. Asset management collaborates with stakeholders to formulate strategies for asset and operational improvements as well as solutions to maximize property performance.

Asset management is also the primary contact for ownership transfers involving all funding sources supported by OHCS, including grants, tax credits and multifamily loan programs. Transfer of all or any ownership interest in the property or collateral used as security for an OHCS funding source are addressed in the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) and the program documents.
