How Was 1st $100 Million in Additional HUD Voucher Funding Distributed/How Much Did Oregon Get?

NLIHC' Memo to Members had a piece HERE with a link to a HUD website that had a PDF listing of housing authorities who got the first $100 million in additional HUD voucher funding.

Since it was impossible to make comparisons between areas using the PDF file, I copied 11 pages into an Excel file (a real pain in ...) and created some comparisons by HUD region and by state. You can find those comparisons in the PDF file I created HERE.

Big winner was California which received 36% of the additional $100 million allocation; Region 10 , including Oregon, got 1.8% of this round of additional voucher funding.

In perhaps somewhat of a surprise to most, Oregon housing authorities DID receive a total of $491,000+ in this first round of additional HUD funding. Josephine County got the most in Oregon with $289,000+.

NOTE that this first round of funding DOES NOT include an additional $795,000 in voucher funding provided LATER to the NW Oregon HA, meaning that TOTAL additional HUD funding for Oregon vouchers now exceeds $1.28 Million.

Additional voucher amounts by purpose/rationale and Oregon housing authority in this first round of funding were:

Purpose	HA NAME	$$ Amount
	TOTAL	$ 491,613
Unforeseen Circumstances	Central Oregon	$ 9,814
PORTABILITY	CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL HA	$ 24,336
PORTABILITY	HOUSING AUTHORITY OF PORTLAND	$ 63,966
Additional Leasing	HOUSING AUTHORITY OF YAMHILL COUNTY	$ 44,710
Additional Leasing	JOSEPHINE HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOP	$ 289,409
PORTABILITY	KLAMATH HOUSING AUTHORITY	$ 1,161
Additional Leasing	LINN‐BENTON HOUSING AUTHORITY	$ 15,916
PORTABILITY	MARION COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY	$ 23,664
PORTABILITY	NORTHWEST OREGON HOUSING AGENCY	$ 18,637
