Wildfire Damage Housing Relief Program
Recovering from an unexpected emergency is hard, particularly a lost or damaged home. The Oregon Legislature created the Wildfire Damage Housing Relief program to fill the gaps that FEMA and private insurance can’t cover for very low income Oregonians. The home that was lost or damaged must be the primary residence.
