Rental aid payments are approved, but big backlog persists July 26 2021
More than 22,000 seek $161 million as Oregon nears halfway point in 60-day grace period for evictions.
Community action agencies have made their first payments to landlords under the Oregon emergency rental assistance program.
But according to a dashboard maintained by the Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services, payments still lag far behind the number of completed applications by tenants and the amount of aid they have requested from the program.
As of Monday morning, July 26, community action agencies have approved payments for 1,260 of 22,083 completed applications, about 6%. The total of $7.75 million is barely 5% of the $160.9 million requested so far.
