About This Program in Oregon
In Portland, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by Home Forward (the Housing Authority of Portland). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a Home Forward community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Oregon
Apply through Home Forward at homeforward.org when waitlists are open. Oregon protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (ORS 659A.421, amended 2013 to include Section 8), so a landlord generally cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher or treat you differently for using one. Call Home Forward at (503) 802-8300.
