Or. Admin. Code § 813-015-0016 - Availability and Source of Funds
(1)
The Department may provide funding, subject to the availability of Funds
through a process which may include, but is not limited to, a first come-first
reviewed process or a competitive review process.
(2) The Oregon Rural Rehabilitation (ORR)
Program is funded by monies realized from an agreement between the State of
Oregon and the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States. The ORR fund was
originally established following the Depression as part of New Deal efforts to
stabilize the agricultural economy and strengthen rural communities. For many
years the funds were administered by the federal government and the Oregon
Rural Rehabilitation Corporation. The State Land Board became the successor to
the Oregon Rural Rehabilitation Corporation in 1953. In 1975 an agreement was
signed between the Division of State Lands and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Farmers Home Administration, for administration of the ORR fund.
In 1994 the Oregon Legislative Assembly transferred the ORR Program from the
Division of State Lands to Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS). Since
1994, OHCS has operated the ORR fund as a revolving loan account.
