Oregon City View Manor (OCVM) is a 100-unit public housing community in Oregon City owned and operated by the Housing Authority of Clackamas County (HACC). HACC is transitioning OCVM from Public Housing (HUD’s Section 9 program) to Section 8 Housing through a process called “repositioning.”
Why is HACC Repositioning OCVM?
HACC owns some of the oldest public housing in Oregon, and federal funding alone is no longer sufficient to keep properties in good condition. Under Public Housing rules, HACC cannot refinance or take on debt to pay for repairs. By repositioning out of public housing, HACC can access new funding sources, like tax credits and local housing bonds, to develop new affordable housing in the community.
Through HUD’s Section 18 program, HACC has secured approval to provide every current OCVM household with a Section 8 tenant protection voucher (TPV). Unlike public housing assistance, which is tied to the unit, TPVs allow families to choose a safe, affordable rental of their choice. This flexibility protects residents while ensuring OCVM remains a viable source of affordable housing for decades to come.
Relocation
All OCVM residents relocating due to the redevelopment will receive a TPV and support from the Housing Authority. This will include:
- A relocation counselor who will work with every household to help find replacement housing.
- Financial assistance that will cover moving expenses, security deposits, and other related fees.
OCVM residents will also be given the opportunity to move into a new home at Clackamas Heights Redevelopment once construction is complete.
Clackamas Heights Redevelopment
When the Clackamas Heights redevelopment is complete, OCVM residents will have the choice to move to the new community. To learn more about the redevelopment, explore the StoryMap.
