I live in Eugene Oregon and also looked for help finding low-income housing.. The local Social Security office sent me to the HUD Housing Authority. 177 day Island RD. 541–682-3755

I doubt they can directly help you but I bet they can give you a number for someone that can help..

Good luck

We know that one in five people in Oregon can’t afford the cost of their housing. People are going hungry and doing without medicine for themselves and their kids in order to keep a roof over their heads
