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 government agency under federal and state law. The Housing Authority is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners 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 as well as opportunities to become self-sufficient.
In order to fulfill this mission, the Housing Authority has established objectives related to the mission statement. In an effort to fulfill these objectives, the Housing Authority administers a number of housing programs utilizing federal, state and/or local funds. These programs are listed below:
We take pride in the fact we are truly a helping agency. We try to deliver services in an environment which respects the dignity of every person and minimizes the public institutional nature of the housing services we provide. It is our philosophy that housing is more than just a roof overhead. It is person-centered. It promotes general health and well-being and encourages participants to share in the responsibility for that health.
