2019-2024 SWHP Final Report
In 2019, OHCS launched the agency's first 5-year Statewide Housing Plan following extensive listening sessions across the state. The purpose of the plan was to identify areas of critical need and provide a strategic framework for OHCS to inspire coordinated action and build support for addressing Oregon's housing challenges. This plan marked a significant shift in how OHCS operates, setting the stage for the agency to become more data-driven and research-focused. It also introduced new approaches to collaboration and resource allocation aimed at tackling our state's most pressing housing issues.
The plan laid out six priorities: equity and racial justice, homelessness, permanent supportive housing, affordable rental housing, homeownership, and rural communities. Each priority had associated goals that were tracked by OHCS, with much of the data reported on the fiscal year.
The final report detailed OHCS’ progress in meeting the ambitious goals and strategies set out in six priorities. Collectively, the achievements were a result of the Statewide Housing Plan represent monumental progress on Oregon's housing front.
