OAR 813 § 813-310-0005
Purpose and Objective
Operative Text
OAR 813, division 310 is promulgated to accomplish the general purposes of ORS 456.506 through 456.514, visitability requirements for subsidized development.
OAR 813 § 813-310-0005 establishes the administrative framework for Oregon's visitability requirements, which apply to subsidized housing developments. The division is grounded in ORS 456.506 through 456.514, a set of statutes that set baseline accessibility standards so that people with mobility limitations can enter and use certain subsidized homes. This provision defines the overarching purpose that guides all the more specific rules found elsewhere in OAR 813, Division 310.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of subsidized housing in Oregon should understand that OAR 813 § 813-310-0005 signals that the entire Division 310 ruleset flows from a legislative mandate to make subsidized developments visitable. Compliant developers generally review ORS 456.506 through 456.514 alongside Division 310 to ensure their projects meet the accessibility intent embedded in these rules from the earliest planning stages. Familiarity with this foundational purpose provision helps property owners interpret the more detailed visitability standards that follow in the division.

OAR 813 § 813-310-0005 reflects Oregon's commitment to ensuring that subsidized housing developments meet visitability standards designed to accommodate people with mobility limitations. Tenants and prospective tenants of subsidized developments may find it useful to know that this provision anchors a broader set of accessibility protections rooted in ORS 456.506 through 456.514. Those who believe a subsidized development is not meeting visitability requirements may consider reaching out to the Oregon Housing and Community Services department or a local tenant-rights organization to learn more about available options.
