With Governor Kotek’s Executive Order on Affordable Housing (EO 23-04) and overwhelming support for affordable housing during the 2023 legislative session, including $721 million to address housing supply solutions, the OHCS Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) division determined that the current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process needed to be streamlined. Accordingly, OHCS ARH sought the input and expertise of stakeholders, through an engagement process from August 2023 through November 2023. The purpose of this engagement was to gather and integrate stakeholder feedback to inform the process by which funds are requested and allocated. The scale of resources allocated for the biennium mandates that OHCS consider improvements to business practices to align the NOFA process with Governor Kotek’s housing goals.
