WHAT IS THIS I HEAR ABOUT THE NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST FUND? HTF provides funds for the construction, rehabilitation and preservation of rental units and homeownership for extremely low ‐ and very low ‐ income families OHCS is designated to receive the funds There are no 2015 baseline figures upon which to estimate 2016 HTF allocations. HUD intends to issue guidance on maximum subsidy limits and operating cost assistance later this year, which may prove useful as Oregon develops our program design for projects funded by the HTF. Required to include planning for the Housing Trust Fund allocation in the Consolidated Plan. 16

For more information, contact: Shoshanah.Oppenheim@oregon.gov (503) 986-2077 As part of our outreach and public engagement for the 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan, Oregon Housing and Community Services circulated a survey to community members, residents and service partners. 172 people participated in our stakeholder survey and 656 people participated in our community survey. The information gathered from the surveys informed the development of the Consolidated Plan, the priority needs and the goals to address those needs.
Oregon Housing and Community Services’ Summary of Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment for the 2016 ‐ 2020 Consolidated Plan Oregonians face a wide variety of housing issues as the result of tightening housing markets, stagnant wages, and a shortage of affordable housing units. The Needs Assessment prepared for the 2016 ‐ 2020 Consolidated Plan provides a detailed analysis of the number of low and moderate income renters and owners who have a housing cost burden, live in overcrowded units, or live in substandard housing. Data is also available on populations that face disproportionately greater housing needs. Finally, the assessment provides information on the housing needs of special populations such as people with disabilities, the elderly, victims of domestic violence, people with HIV/AIDS, and others. A summary of the findings is presented here. Low and Moderate Income Households In 2011, the median family income (MFI) in Oregon was $63,100. 1 Nearly 40 percent of the 1.5 million households in Oregon earned at or below 80 percent of MFI and were considered low or moderate income. Households earning just 30 percent of MFI or less ($18,930) were the most likely to face housing problems such as severe housing cost burden, which is defined as spending more than half of household income on housing and utility costs. Seventy ‐ two percent of households at this income level had one or more severe housing problems, compared to 44 percent of households with income between 30 percent and 50 percent of MFI and 22 percent of households earning between 50 percent and 80 percent of MFI. Households with income at or below 30 percent of MFI were much more likely to rent their home than own it, with 21 percent of all renter households falling into this income category, compared to just five percent of owner households. An analysis from the National Low Income Housing Coalition on renter households shows that in 2013 there were estimated to be only 22 affordable and available rental units available for every 100 renters in Oregon with income at or below 30 percent of MFI. This analysis also shows that Oregon would need to create a little more than 103,000 rental units affordable for households at or below 30 percent of MFI to meet the existing demand. For renter households below 50 percent of MFI there were estimated to be 42 units affordable and available for every 100 renters in Oregon, and for those below 80 percent of MFI, there was almost enough to meet demand, with 94 units affordable and available for every 100 renters at this income level. Low and moderate income renters are found throughout the state, but are more concentrated in urban areas, while low and moderate income homeowners are more likely to be found in rural areas. Elderly 1 The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment for the Consolidated Plan relies primarily on HUD data from 2007 ‐ 2011, as it was the most recent data available.
