OAR 813 § 813-261-0020
Program Guidance
Operative Text
The ORE-DAP program guidance, dated October 1, 2025 (the “Program Guidance”), is incorporated into and adopted as part of this division of administrative rules, by reference. The ORE-DAP Program Guidance may be accessed online at the OHCS website.
OAR 813 § 813-261-0020 establishes that the Oregon Rental Eviction Diversion Assistance Program (ORE-DAP) Program Guidance document, dated October 1, 2025, carries the same legal weight as the administrative rules themselves by being formally incorporated by reference. This means the Program Guidance is not merely advisory — it is part of the binding regulatory framework governing the ORE-DAP program. The document is publicly available through the Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) website.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in the ORE-DAP program should be aware that under OAR 813 § 813-261-0020, the Program Guidance dated October 1, 2025 is treated as an integral part of the administrative rules, not a separate optional document. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full Program Guidance as published on the OHCS website, since its requirements carry the same regulatory force as the codified rules. Staying current with any updates posted to the OHCS website is a common practice among operators seeking to remain in compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
