Priced Out Report for Disabled Renters Issued Today; Tomorrow is Full NLIHC Out of Reach Report.

The Technical Assistance Collaborative has published a national Priced Out report for renters with disabilities HERE. (Focus is on renter affordability for SSI recipients)

I encourage you to read the entire report, some data that caught my attention:

1. Oregon % of SSI Required to Rent 1 Bedroom Better than National Average:
The table I constructed HERE shows relevant data including breakouts for U.S. , Oregon metro areas and non metro areas.

2. Oregon Has 41,913 SSI Adult recipients (age 18-64)

3. State SSI Supplement Amounts: Oregon LAST, Way Behind (Even) Idaho!
Oregon has LOWEST state SSI monthly supplement (among states with supplements).
  • Oregon Monthly supplement $1.70
  • Washington: $46
  • Idaho: $32
Tomorrow the National Low Income Housing Coalition will publish their annual Out of Reach report.
