OAR 813-042-0030: Distribution of Funds

(1) The Department shall develop a distribution formula which takes into account the relative housing needs of regions in the state, and shall concentrate funds in those areas of the state with the greatest need for low- and very-low income housing as may be evidenced by factors including, but not limited to, the unmet housing need, extent of overcrowding or number of poverty households. (2) The distribution formula shall provide for a minimum amount of funds to regions of the state. If there are not enough applications submitted from a particular region to use the minimum regional amount, the funds may be distributed to other regions.
