Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) updated its Emergency Housing Assistance program, Housing Stabilization program, Elderly Rental Assistance program, Emergency Solutions Grant program and the State Homeless Assistance program operations manuals to provide improved clarity and transparency in policies, procedures and program analysis, better alignment with outcome-driven performance measures and additional flexibilities for uses of funds. The updated program manuals also amend unstably housed definition to provide additional flexibility, as well as remove redundancies in the administrative review process. OHCS will hold a virtual hearing on the proposed changes from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. PT on January 16, register here. Comments should be sent to Jaci Davis at Jaci.Davis@hcs.oregon.gov by 5 p.m. PT on January 31.
