Center for Budget and Policy Priorities Has State Fact Sheets on Assisted Housing and Renters; Oregon Assisted at 54,000+

Combined fact sheets for all states is HERE, including Oregon (page 38) and Washington (page 48). CBPP PR is HERE. 

I noticed that:

1. Assisted unit counts do not include Low Income Housing Tax Credit units (unless those units are assisted by other programs).
2. 59.5% of all assisted rental housing units in Oregon were housing vouchers, while 16.8% were public housing units. This means that even without taking into account other affordable units they may own that Oregon housing authorities administer at least 76% of all Oregon assisted rental housing.

Also from the Oregon Fact Sheet: 

Federal rental assistance programs enable more than 54,044 low-income households in Oregon to rent modest housing at an affordable cost. About 61 percent of these households are headed by people who are elderly or have disabilities; approximately 30 percent are families with children...133,660 low-income renter households pay more than half their monthly cash income for housing costs. On average, these households have incomes of $999 and pay housing costs of $837, leaving only $162 to pay for other necessities. About 39 percent of these cost burdened renters are elderly or people with disabilities, while 25 percent are families with children.
