Housing Programs Basic Guidelines & Criteria

All programs serve South Lane County (Cottage Grove, Creswell and the surrounding area) except for OREDAP from our agency which serves South Lane County as a priority but ultimately serves all of Lane County.

Each program we offer may or may not have funds available – getting on a waitlist is not a guarantee of assistance.

Beginning August 1, 2025 – our waitlist is changing: Our waitlist will serve households with EHA, ERA, HTBA and OREDAP programs. HSP funds are by referral from our local DHS office. We will put eligible households on a Lane County wait list for OREDAP assistance from our waitlist. All are served first come, first served on OUR waitlist – the County waitlist for OREDAP is also weighted by client need. Going forward, our waitlist will remain open and we will keep applicants on that list for 3 MONTHS. If an applicant was not served within 3 months because a program they were eligible for did not have funding available, they will need to get on our waitlist again.
