How to access emergency rent assistance:
Emergency rent assistance is available beginning in July 2026 to households facing eviction thanks to funding that the City of Portland, Multnomah County and the State of Oregon have dedicated for the Fiscal Year, which runs from July 2026 to June 2027. We anticipate that demand for these resources will be much higher than the funds available, and funding will be distributed throughout the year.
To be eligible for emergency rent assistance, you must:
- Be a resident of Multnomah County. (*Rent assistance is available regardless of citizenship status.)
- Have a household income at or below 65% of the Area Median Income (AMI). (Income is based on a snapshot of current income at the time of application, and includes the current gross income of all household members, or the household's total income for the full calendar year before intake.)
- Have an eviction notice.
If you are facing eviction, contact 211info to be connected with support for emergency rent assistance or legal service providers. The call volume for these resources is high, but 211info has a call back feature that allows callers receive a call back in the order it was received. *Please Note: Weekly referral capacity is limited and when it is reached, referrals are paused until the following business week. If you are told referrals are closed, please try contacting 211info again the next week.

We Know Need is High and Funding is Limited
The City and County recognize that the cost of rent, food, utilities, and fuel continues to grow, making it difficult to make ends meet. We are seeing demand for these resources that is much higher than the money available. We appreciate your understanding as the community providers work at capacity to get this funding out.
