The Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP) helps eligible low-income households with their past-due rent and utilities. If you have been struggling to keep up with rent due to the pandemic, you may be eligible for help through the OERAP. oregonrentalassistance.org

It's critical that Oregonians have a warm, safe, dry place to live, particularly as we see record COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations driven by the Delta surge. If you need help to pay current or future rent, you may qualify for rental assistance: OregonRentalAssistance.org
