We count every building in the state. A building can be in more than one group, so the groups add up to more than 902. The list comes from HUD, the federal housing department (public housing, Section 8, senior and disability buildings, and tax-credit buildings), downloaded October 5, 2026. It does not say whether a waitlist is open, and some waitlists are closed or years long.

Questions about affordable housing in Portland and Oregon

What kinds of affordable housing listings are open in Portland and Oregon?

Portland and Oregon has 12 lotteries open right now. Each listing says whether it is a lottery, a waitlist or first come.

How much does affordable housing cost in Portland and Oregon?

Homes for sale are posted from $161,920 to $300,460. Rents in income-restricted rentals are usually set by a program formula tied to the middle income in the area (the area median income) instead of the market, so they are often lower than similar homes nearby.

Some programs also set a minimum income, and limits are higher for larger households. Both differ from listing to listing. The free qualify check compares your household with the income limit and rules on each open listing.

None of the 12 open listings in Portland and Oregon that we track has an online application; they use paper, email or in-person steps. Listings here link to proudground.org (12 listings).
