IF YOU NEED HELP RIGHT AWAY:
We do not have emergency assistance available. If you are at immediate risk of homelessness you can view our Community Resource List for possible help available in your area.
There is other subsidized housing available in Yamhill County. There might be units available more quickly than you can get a voucher. You can see our list of other affordable units in Yamhill County and call them to see if they have apartments for rent.
It is possible to move into a unit and still stay on our waiting list while you wait for a Voucher. Whether or not the unit is eligible for our program would be determined after you receive a Voucher.
