How to Apply
Step 1: Confirm Your Eligibility
Eligible homeowners may only apply for the Oregon Homeowner Assistance Fund during or after the phase in which they qualify. If you apply before the appropriate phase, your application will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply during the correct phase. The same information this site provides can also be found in this downloadable PDF | En español.
To confirm your eligibility to apply:
