OAR 813-245-0030. Administration

(1) OHCS may execute grant agreements with entities designated by OHCS to administer LTRA services within defined geographic regions. OHCS will select grantees based on their experience and capacity to administer LTRA services in the designated geographic region. If a designated grantee is unable to continue in this role, OHCS may designate and execute a grant agreement with an alternate qualified entity to ensure continuity of services. (2) LTRA funds will be awarded using a formula established by OHCS. Funding allocations shall be determined using a formula that incorporates factors identified as indicative of regional need. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the percentage of rent‑burdened households, the percentage of households living in poverty, the proportion of the region’s homeless population as measured by Point‑in‑Time counts, and the amount of any prior awards. OHCS may revise or supplement these factors as necessary to ensure that allocations reflect current and demonstrated need within each region. OHCS reserves the right to modify such formula at any time in its sole discretion.
