Housing Authority Of Yamhill County

What Housing Authority Of Yamhill County does

The Housing Authority of Yamhill County (HAYC) is an independent public corporation established on January 10, 1951, by resolution of the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners, operating under federal and state law to provide affordable housing assistance to low and moderate-income residents of Yamhill County, Oregon. Governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, HAYC administers the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, assists over 1,400 families monthly through that program, and reaches over 2,000 families monthly across all affiliated entities, contributing approximately $7-8 million annually to the local economy. The organization's revenue model is anchored on federal HUD contracts for the voucher program, supplemented by rental income from 20+ owned and managed residential properties, a $3 million revolving housing rehabilitation loan fund operated through its subsidiary Yamhill County Affordable Housing Corporation (YCAHC), and partnerships with state and county agencies.

HAYC's product portfolio spans four operational categories: family and workforce housing (including 56-unit Deskins Commons, 88-unit Tice Park, 84-unit Woodside Park), senior and disabled housing (Heritage Place, Riverside Terrace, Vittoria Square, Village Quarter, Palmer Creek), farm labor housing (Abbey Heights, Fresa Park), and special needs housing operated in conjunction with Yamhill County Mental Health and FUFIL (Bridges, Home Port, Sunnyside, Hendricks Place, New Reflections). Core non-property programs include the Family Self-Sufficiency program with escrow savings, the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program, 0% and 2% housing rehabilitation loans up to $25,000, foreclosure mitigation counseling, and the Yamhill Housing Resource Center providing financial education and homeownership classes. The 175-unit Stratus Village development in McMinnville is scheduled for occupancy in Winter 2025. Technology infrastructure is limited to a Squarespace website, the RentCafe online application portal, and standard property management operations with no proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.
