A-44 Appendices—<strong>Oregon</strong> <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> and <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Integration Plan<br />
Permanent <strong>Housing</strong> Assistance<br />
Safe, stable, decent long-term housing opportunities with or without support services.<br />
GOALS & DESCRIPTIONS<br />
Ongoing assistance to cover difference<br />
between market rents (or FMR) and<br />
30% <strong>of</strong> tenant’s household income, for<br />
as long as income falls below<br />
qualifying standard<br />
Best administered by partners: housing<br />
authority willing to administer the<br />
subsidy and service organization<br />
willing to market subsidies, prescreen<br />
tenants, and help them find<br />
appropriate units<br />
Rent or mortgage subsidies based on a<br />
smaller, fixed amount, rather than the<br />
difference between FMR and 30% <strong>of</strong><br />
tenant’s household income<br />
Best when housing costs are level, and<br />
consumers are close to being able to<br />
afford housing independently<br />
