Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) will begin accepting new applications again for the Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP) starting on Wednesday, Jan. 26. OHCS is processing applications received before the Dec. 1 pause first. Then, applications received on Jan. 26 will be processed after that. Tenants who apply on Jan. 26 or after may receive safe harbor protections that prevent landlords from evicting tenants until their application is processed.
