OAR 813 § 813-270-0085
Remedies
Operative Text
(1) OHCS reserves the right to identify deficiencies in the performance of any grantee or their subrecipients discovered during compliance monitoring activities and take remedial action upon such grantees as provided in the grant agreement, including, but not limited to, terminating its funding agreement with a grantee or subrecipient and requiring repayment of ORI funding. (2) Upon identifying a deficiency in performance or compliance, OHCS may exercise any and all remedies set forth in the grant agreement.
OAR 813 § 813-270-0085 establishes that the Oregon Housing and Community Services agency (OHCS) has broad authority to respond when a grantee or subrecipient is found to be out of compliance or underperforming under an ORI-funded grant. Remedies available under this provision range from formal corrective actions up to and including termination of the funding agreement and mandatory repayment of funds received. The full scope of available remedies is defined by the terms of each individual grant agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who participate as grantees or subrecipients under ORI-funded programs administered by OHCS should be aware that OAR 813 § 813-270-0085 gives the agency authority to act on compliance deficiencies identified during monitoring. Operators generally maintain thorough documentation of program performance and adhere closely to the terms of their grant agreements to minimize exposure to remedial actions. Understanding the specific remedy provisions written into a grant agreement is a standard part of responsible program administration under this rule.

OAR 813 § 813-270-0085 is directed at the relationship between OHCS and the organizations it funds, rather than at individual tenants directly. However, tenants living in housing connected to ORI-funded programs may have an interest in knowing that OHCS retains oversight authority and can intervene when a grantee or subrecipient is found to be non-compliant. Tenants who believe a funded program is not being administered properly may consider contacting OHCS directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for information about available options.
