Yes, there are specific mortgage programs designed to assist low-income families in Oregon. Here are a few examples:

  1. Oregon Bond Residential Loan Program: This program provides below-market interest rates on mortgages through tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. It aims to make homeownership more affordable for first-time homebuyers with low to moderate incomes.
  2. Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative (OHSI): OHSI offers assistance to homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments due to financial hardship. Eligible low-income homeowners may receive financial assistance to prevent foreclosure and stabilize their housing situation.
  3. USDA Rural Development Single Family Housing Program: This program offers affordable home loans with low-interest rates and flexible credit requirements in eligible rural areas of Oregon. It is specifically designed to improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income households.
  4. FHA loans: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage insurance on loans offered by FHA-approved lenders. It offers low-down-payment options and flexible credit requirements, making homeownership more accessible for low-income families.


These are just a few examples, and there may be other local or statewide programs available to assist low-income families in Oregon. It is advisable to research and contact local housing authorities or nonprofit organizations focused on affordable housing to explore all available options.

Great response! Just one small addition: The Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) offers various programs and services to help low-income families, including mortgage assistance, down payment assistance, and homebuyer education. They may also have specific programs targeted towards low-income families.
