Who We Are Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is Oregon’s housing finance agency. We provide financial and program support to create and preserve opportunities for quality, affordable housing for Oregonians of lower and moderate incomes. Our vision is that all Oregonians can pursue prosperity and live free from poverty. Across Oregon, housing has emerged as a paramount concern. The lack of available housing, high rents and high home prices are driving rapid increases in housing instability and homelessness. The data is clear: too many Oregonians do not have a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.
OHCS is placing greater emphasis on strategic planning and the way we invest our resources. Recently, we restructured, refocused, and reimagined our agency. Our work has led to an increased emphasis on data, research, and customer service. We are carrying that effort forward with the Statewide Housing Plan. The plan articulates the extent of Oregon’s housing problem and what we can do to address it. OHCS committed to the Housing Stability Council and our stakeholders that the plan will be responsive to the needs of the state.
OHCS released its Building Oregon’s Future: 2023 Annual Report to update the agency’s significant progress in meeting the goals outlined in the 2019 Statewide Housing Plan. We are now more than halfway into the five‑year plan.
Research Section The purpose of the Research Section is to ensure OHCS staff, Oregon legislators, and the public have a clear understanding of how the work of OHCS helps Oregonians pursue prosperity and live free from poverty, and the decisions and policies of the agency are grounded in sound data and research that is conducted with an equity lens. The Research Section is part of the Director’s Office Division. The Research Section supports the entire agency and has team members focused and embedded within specific program areas. The team consists of Research Analysts, Operations and Policy Analysts, and an Economist. The outcome of the quantitative and qualitative analysis performed by the Research Section serves as the basis for how a significant portion of OHCS’s resources are allocated and/or awarded. Additionally, the Research Section leads efforts to share data across state agencies, with local governments, and with partner organizations, to enable better outcomes for vulnerable Oregonians.
The Research Section leads meaningful research projects that ensure OHCS policy and resource allocation decisions are evidence‑based and informed by best practices. The Research Section works to clearly demonstrate the impact the agency’s programs have on Oregonians through accessible, interactive tools. We are embedded within sections to increase cross‑section collaboration and improve data solutions through regular outreach, early involvement, and integration.
Generally, the Research Section has four main areas of focus:
analysis of internal program data
analysis of external data on housing and economic issues
increase data sharing within OHCS and with a variety of external partners including research institutions, local governments, and other organizations involved in housing and homelessness work
providing equity‑centered and research‑based recommendations to agency leadership on policy and program design, implementation and evaluation
