Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Oregon

Oregon has 23 housing authorities managing a combined 217 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 114 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 53%. This data was last verified on Oct 14, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 46,155 assisted housing units statewide — 2,499 public housing units and 43,656 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 20 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Oregon.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Oregon include Public Housing (11 open), Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (12 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (11 open), Mainstream (2 open), RAD, VASH (3 open). Each program has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and wait times. In most cases, applicants can apply to multiple program types at the same housing authority, and there is no limit to the number of housing authorities you can apply to statewide.

The cities with the most open waitlists in Oregon right now are Albany (20), The Dalles (13), La Grande (13), McMinnville (11), and Warrenton (9) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.
