OAR 813 § 813-270-0045
Applicant Eligibility
Operative Text
(1) ORI services shall be made available to households who meet eligibility requirements as outlined in the ORI Manual. (2) Income limitations and U.S. citizenship of household members may not be considered as eligibility criterion to qualify for assistance under the ORI program. (3) Specific requirements and documentation to provide proof of eligibility for ORI services are detailed in the ORI Manual.
Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 813 § 813-270-0045 establishes who may receive services under the Oregon Rental Insurance (ORI) program. Eligibility is determined by criteria set out in the ORI Manual, but the rule explicitly bars two factors from being used to screen applicants: household income levels and U.S. citizenship status of any household member. Documentation requirements for proving eligibility are also governed by the ORI Manual rather than by this rule directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under OAR 813 § 813-270-0045, operators administering or participating in the ORI program are expected to evaluate applicants solely on the eligibility criteria found in the ORI Manual. Compliant administrators do not apply income thresholds or citizenship status as screening criteria when determining whether a household qualifies for ORI assistance. Keeping current with the ORI Manual's documentation requirements is a standard part of administering the program correctly.

OAR 813 § 813-270-0045 means that households seeking ORI program assistance cannot be turned away based on their income level or the citizenship status of any household member. Tenants who believe they were improperly denied ORI services on those grounds may have grounds to challenge that determination, and consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Oregon housing programs can help clarify available options. The ORI Manual, referenced throughout this provision, contains the specific documentation a household needs to demonstrate eligibility.
