What HUD's PIH Record for Oregon Tells You

HUD's PIH directory lists comparatively few separately chartered PHAs for Oregon - #40 of 51 states and DC by headcount, 22 records (1% of the U.S. total) - though those records still report 43,276 authorized Section 8 / HCV units combined. Across all HUD programs (public housing, HCV, and related subsidy streams) those same records report 2,476 total units. 1 of these records (5%) report zero authorized HCV units; that source field does not establish an active voucher program, a waitlist, or an application route.

Payment standards inside OR metros are set at 90–110% of HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent, cross-referenced in our payment standards directory, so voucher value is metro-specific even within the same state. A city, county, regional, or statewide authority may share the state; the directory does not determine service-area eligibility, waitlist status, or whether an agency is accepting applications, use the source contact details to verify a specific agency's current programs. See the waitlist guide for general federal-program context and the portability guide for federal move rules.

Sorted by reported authorized HCV units, highest first. Many regions carry multiple PHA records (a city PHA, a county PHA, and sometimes a regional authority) - check the source contact details before relying on any single record for a current program, service area, or waitlist.

HUD FMR and local market-rent context in Oregon

This is an area-level comparison of HUD FY2026 FMR and Census ACS rent data. It is not an individual PHA payment-standard, availability, eligibility, or waitlist result. Explore the metro comparisons →
