Oregon’s Affordable Housing Is at Risk

The crisis at a glance:

  • 75 affordable properties across 40+ Oregon communities are scheduled to expire — converting to market rate before March 31, 2030, putting more than 4,400 households at immediate risk of being priced out
  • Over the coming decade, 15,000+ Oregon households face likely displacement from expiring affordability restrictions, unfunded repairs, and manufactured housing park sales

The 2025 legislature invested $50 million in preservation. OHCS allocated $35 million for stabilization and it’s already oversubscribed. The funding ran out before the crisis did.


An affordable home is a community asset, just like a school, a road, or a library. Preservation costs a fraction of building from scratch, and it protects the families already housed. Every home lost to expiration must be replaced at far greater cost and Oregon’s past investments will be squandered.

Support HB 4036 and the HOLD fund: $100 million in General Obligation bonds to preserve Oregon’s affordable homes this session.
