Available online: http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/about/budget/budget07/states/or.xls (Accessed: November 29, 2007). Note: the Cities of Eugene and Springfield submit a joint Consolidated Plan and issue joint funding announcements for their combined CDBG and HOME allocations. Low Income Housing Tax Credits Although Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) funding is released through the OHCS Consolidated Funding Cycle, the program is additionally subject to guidelines established through the Oregon Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP), which OHCS also coordinates. Like the Con Plans, the QAP is open to public input. The 2007 QAP does not mention HIV/AIDS, and does not prioritize supportive housing or housing for people with special needs. 62 Housing and service providers were asked how well the QAP served the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. Eighty-two percent of all respondents said that they did not know how well, and 11 62 Oregon Housing and Community Services. 2007 Qualified Allocation Plan.

Oregon HIV/AIDS Housing and Services Systems Integration Plan 25 percent responded “Not well.” This general lack of familiarity among HIV/AIDS stakeholders with priorities of the QAP (along with other housing planning processes) presents a challenge, as described in the “Critical Issues” chapter below. Housing Authorities Public housing authorities (PHAs) play a vital role in providing affordable housing in the balance of state. PHAs are local governmental bodies that are authorized by state legislation to develop and/or administer public rental housing for low-income households, often making them the largest landlords in urban areas. In addition, PHAs administer the federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance to individuals and families in privately-owned housing. There are 21 housing authorities in Oregon, including 17 outside the Portland EMA. PHA resources in the balance of state include 2,230 units of public housing and 19,026 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Compared to the Portland EMA, housing resources in the balance of state rely more heavily on Section 8 than public housing. The housing authorities in the balance of state have 59 percent of the state’s Section 8 vouchers, and only 38 percent of the public housing units. 63 Most PHAs have long waiting lists for Section 8, and some have closed their lists to new applicants in response to decreasing federal funding and high demand for affordable housing. This is a critical piece of context for people living with HIV/AIDS who need housing assistance, as HOPWA and other programs targeted to this population emphasize the importance of transitioning clients whenever possible to mainstream housing assistance, of which Section 8 is the single largest source. Table 7 on the following page shows the number of public housing units and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for each housing authority in Oregon. 63 Source: U.S. Housing and Urban Development.
