SHORT-TERM RENT ASSISTANCE (STRA)
Short-Term Rent Assistance (STRA) is a countywide program that provides limited housing assistance (up to 24 months) to households experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness. Home Forward (formerly the Housing Authority of Portland) administers the program on behalf of Multnomah County, the City of Portland, the City of Gresham, and Home Forward. Assistance can include rent or mortgage payment, deposits and application fees, move-in costs, and limited non-leasing expenses.
Eligibility: Most, but not all, STRA funds require households to have incomes at or below 50% of annual area median income
Hours: Not applicable
INTAKE PROCEDURE: As with any other type of rent assistance, the caller needs to contact the nonprofit agency to apply for assistance. While the caller may be under the impression that Home Forward and/or 211info furnish STRA application forms, this is a misconception. Applications are only made available through participating agencies. Since many agencies participate, if a person has a working relationship with one of the agencies that we have listed under rent assistance, they could talk to that agency about the possibility of enrolling.
