A new rule from Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) regarding Veterans is effective as of December 3. The rule is intended to define ‘Veteran’ internally at OHCS to remove access barriers for housing resources. The updated definition is, “’Veteran’ has the meaning given in ORS 408.225 and also includes a person who served in the military, naval or air service that has been discharged or released from that service and has been determined by the United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs to be eligible to receive any benefit from that Department.”
