ASHLAND, Ore. — An Ashland-based organization has undertaken distributing $400,000 in state funds for people struggling to pay back rent and those on the verge of losing their housing due to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Options for Helping Residents of Ashland (OHRA) said that the money came via ACCESS, and is part of Oregon's Supporting Tenants Accessing Rental Relief, which was set aside to help people pay rent, late fees, and back rent incurred after April 1 of 2020. The money can also go toward utility payments, hotel/motel vouchers, and moving costs.
