Oregon Housing and Community Services is issuing a “Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for an Oregon Agriculture Workforce Housing Study.

The Agriculture Workforce Housing Facilitation Team (“AWHFT”) was formed in an effort to keep abreast of current issues around agricultural workforce housing, resources available for developing agricultural workforce housing, and to address the needs of agricultural workers in Oregon. By Oregon statute, OHCS’ role is to help facilitate, create a forum, and provide a place for the team to meet and discuss issues affecting farmworkers in Oregon.

In order for OHCS to more deeply understand the housing needs of Oregon’s agricultural workforce communities across the state, OHCS is seeking Proposals to award a potential Contract to a successful Proposer for the purpose of gathering current information on the housing needs and barriers of agricultural workers, the employers needs and perspective when developing and maintaining housing for agricultural workers, housing needs analysis of specific regions across the state, and developing recommendations based on information gathered. The successful Proposer will be expected to gather information and put together a comprehensive report, which will be used to help inform future OHCS programs and policy.
