Oregon Housing and Community Services issued a temporary administrative rule filing (effective Oct. 17, 2022 through April 14, 2023) to incorporate an updated General Housing Account Program (GHAP) manual by reference. It is primarily to update loan criteria. A temporary filing is necessary to meet the needs of affordable housing that must pass construction closing prior to when a permanent filing could take place. Affordable housing projects could otherwise be delayed, which would add risk to those projects affected and additional costs incurred to the project and by extension the public if the temporary filing is not made.
