Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Safer housing policy for farm workers

Oregon state and local agencies overseeing agricultural workforce activities must make every effort to address unhealthy, unsafe, and overcrowded accommodations. State housing policy calls for accommodations designed to protect seasonal farm workers’ right to associate freely. The law also updates policy language to refer to agricultural workers and agricultural workforce activities.

Broader financing for mixed-income rental projects

Oregon Housing and Community Services can finance an entire project, rather than only its qualifying units. The project must include at least one unit rented to a household earning below 120% of area median income. The law removes the duty to seek a minimum low-income share when a project includes a household above that threshold. The housing council can still set a minimum number or share of units serving households below the threshold.

New loans for mixed-income rental housing

Oregon Housing and Community Services must create short-term, below-market loans for buildings with both market-rate and low-income units. The law transfers $20 million from the Housing Project Revolving Loan Fund into a new fund on its effective date. Loan payments and earned interest go into the new fund, whose money remains available to run the program. Initial rules are due by January 1, 2027, covering eligibility, how rates and terms are set, and the required low-income share. Rules must also explain how projects can use legally binding housing agreements to secure affordability. Low-income units must stay affordable for at least the loan term. Private loans made earlier or at the same time take repayment priority unless the private lender agrees otherwise.
