OAR 813-043-0030: Distribution of Funds

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