Program Summary

The Housing Authority of Yamhill County was established January 10, 1951 by resolution of the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners. The Housing Authority operates as an independent local public agency under federal and state law. The Housing Authority is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, which is appointed by the Yamhill County Commissioners. The Board is responsible for establishing policies and generally overseeing our operations.

The mission of the Housing Authority is to provide the opportunity for decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing to lower-income families residing in our community.

In order to fulfill this mission, the Housing Authority has established the following objectives:

  • To provide housing assistance in a manner that respects the dignity and inherent worth of every person.

  • To invest in self-sufficiency programs for eligible families, including home ownership.
  • To serve as a one-stop resource for affordable housing information.
  • To further the revitalization of the community through maintenance and rehabilitation of existing housing.
  • To maximize the utilization of available funds to assist eligible families.
  • To adapt quickly and effectively to changing laws and regulations in order to remain a high performing agency.
