About This Clackamas County Housing Authorty

The Clackamas County Housing Authority manages programs such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 to provide housing assistance to low income residents. These programs are based on income and eligibility guidelines set by HUD. There may be waiting lists for rentals or vouchers and the lists may close at times to new applicants based on their size and length of wait. Contact the Housing Authority directly for more information on eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, the status of waiting lists, and their application procedures. HACC has two main housing programs: Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher. They also own and operate an affordable housing complex (Easton Ridge Apartments - 264 units) and a Farm Labor Housing Complex (Arbor Terrace Apartments - 24 units), as well as multiple Special Needs units. The programs maintain waiting lists and once your name reaches the top of the list, you will be screened for income eligibility and housing availability. Rent is set at not less than 30% of your annual adjusted income. To qualify for housing, your household's total annual gross income must be under the program's income limits, and HACC provides housing to families, the elderly, and the disabled. Unfortunately, the wait lists for Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program are currently closed and the wait time can vary from 3 to 6 years for Public Housing and 7 or more years for a Voucher. HACC owns and maintains 545 units of public housing located throughout the County, including three housing "parks" and 145 units scattered throughout the area. HACC also offers many programs for residents, including a Head Start center, a Career and Learning Center, sports and recreation activities, and service coordination for families. To qualify for public housing, a household's income must not exceed standards set by HUD, and rent is based on income with tenants paying 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent and utilities. The demand for low-rent public housing is high, and the current waiting time for available units ranges from 18 to 24 months with applications filed in chronological order by date and time of receipt and unit size needs.

How to apply

Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is usually owned by a government authority, either central or local. The federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department addressed concerns of distressed properties and blighted superblocks with revitalization and funding projects for the renewal of public housing to decrease its density and allow for tenants with mixed income levels.
