To help accelerate housing production, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS)awarded $20 million through the Modular Housing Development Fund (MHDF) as outlined in HB 2001 from the 2023 Legislative Session. The MHDF was developed with partner feedback and an eye toward taking meaningful steps in OHCS’ 2019-2023 Statewide Housing goals:
- Close the affordable rental housing gap.
- Expand homeownership opportunities for low-income and moderate-income Oregonians.
- Unlock housing opportunities in rural communities.
The agency worked quickly to get funds out the door, opening applications for funding in November 2023. There were 17 eligible applicants, and the agency intends to award funding to the following four:
- Blazer Industries, Inc., $5 million, Aumsville
- Intelifab, LLC, $5 million, Klamath Falls
- Pacific Wall Systems, Inc., $5 million, Phoenix
- Zaugg Timber Solutions, Inc., $5 million, Portland
The developers will prioritize supplying modular housing that is affordable to state and local governments following a wildfire or other disaster, low-income housing construction and middle-income housing construction.
The Request for Application is now closed. You can get more updates on MHDF and other programs through
