Oregon Manufactured Dwelling Program | Oregon Housing

Oregon Manufactured Dwelling Program is managed by Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) or a

partnering city housing bureau to expand access to safe, affordable housing across Oregon. Qualifying

households may receive varies plus fixed‑rate first mortgages, homebuyer education, and post‑purchase

counseling. The program layers with FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional products and can pair with the Oregon

Affordable Housing Tax Credit for significant interest‑rate reductions. Income and purchase‑price limits align

with HUD Area Median Income guidelines and are updated annually. Properties must be primary residences

and meet OHCS minimum property standards. Certain assistance loans are forgiven after a required occupancy

period. Funds are reserved through an OHCS‑approved lender network and disbursed at closing to reduce

out‑of‑pocket costs.
