OAR 813 § 813-270-0035
Administration
Operative Text
OHCS may contract with grantees to provide eligible ORI services in service areas in such manner to provide holistic coverage statewide without duplication or overlap of services.
Under OAR 813 § 813-270-0035, the Oregon Housing and Community Services agency (OHCS) is authorized to enter into contracts with grantees to deliver eligible Oregon Rental Initiative (ORI) services across defined service areas. The framework is designed to achieve comprehensive, statewide coverage while avoiding duplication or overlap among service providers. This provision establishes the structural mechanism by which ORI services are distributed throughout the state.
Plain English — not legal advice.
OAR 813 § 813-270-0035 establishes that ORI services are delivered through OHCS-contracted grantees assigned to specific service areas. Property owners and managers seeking ORI-related assistance or information would generally look to the grantee designated for their geographic area. Understanding which grantee covers a given service area can help operators identify the appropriate point of contact for program participation.

Under OAR 813 § 813-270-0035, tenants across Oregon may be able to access ORI services through a grantee that OHCS has contracted to serve their specific area. Because the provision is designed to ensure statewide coverage without gaps, renters in most regions should have access to a designated service provider. Tenants seeking assistance can contact OHCS directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to identify which grantee serves their area.
