housing authority — across
the state to emphasize an
equitable approach in the
processing of applications
and distribution of funds.
This coordinated partnership
helps ensure OERAP makes
the greatest impact on reduc-
ing housing instability and
homelessness.
Relief resources will be
distributed to renters who
meet the following federal
eligibility requirements:
• Have income less
than 80% of Area Median
Income.
• Have an individual in
the household who has qual-
ifi ed for unemployment ben-
efi ts or experienced a reduc-
tion in household income,
incurred signifi cant costs or
experienced other fi nancial
hardship due to the coronavi-
rus pandemic.
• Demonstrates a risk of
experiencing homelessness
or housing instability due to
past-due rent or utilities.
Federal guidance requires
that grantees prioritize house-
holds with incomes less than
50% AMI and households
with one or more members
who have been unemployed
for at least 90 days.
“The public health emer-
gency underscores for all of
us the critical importance
that a safe, stable, aff ord-
able home free of discrim-
ination plays to our health
and well-being,” said Andrea
Bell, director of housing sta-
bilization at OHCS. “I’m
grateful we and our many
community partners have
taken intentional steps to
direct resources toward
intentionally investing in
eviction prevention and
long-term stability to help
relieve some of the fi nan-
cial burden Oregonians have
faced during this pandemic.”
Applications will be
accepted on a continuous
basis until 2022 or until pro-
gram funds run out. In most
cases, payment will be made
directly to the landlord or
utility provider. To fi nd out

Yo c u e r for
Sour
Chieftain staff
WALLOWA — It was a
short, quiet meeting Tues-
day, May 18, when the
Wallowa City Council held
its regular session at City
Hall.
“It was a real quiet meet-
ing,” Mayor Gary Hulse
said Monday. “That’s the
way we like them.”
The top item on the
agenda was an executive
session during which the
council conducted annual
employee
evaluations.
After returning to open ses-
sion, the council approved
a 2.5% pay increase for city
employees.
During an old business
item, the council heard
a request by Ben Deal,
who operates Back Achers
building supply on city-
owned property he leases.
In April, the council agreed
to extend the lease another
fi ve years. Last week, Deal
told the council he still has
another two years on the
current lease and asked the
extension run fi ve years
beyond that two-year time
frame. However, the coun-
cil decided to just keep the
renewed lease to fi ve years.
