welcome to HOUSING WORKS
We know the way home


Housing Works assists Central Oregon families and individuals in obtaining quality, affordable housing options and more. We provide access to well-maintained rental communities, homeownership opportunities and rental assistance.

Housing Works is the leader in offering high-quality affordable housing in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. We successfully leverage public and private funding obtained through innovative partnerships to create the award-winning housing opportunities that fill community-defined needs.

Decent housing for all is essential to the economic vitality of a community. We invite developers, builders, investors, employers, landlords and policymakers to learn more about how we can work together to expand opportunities to provide quality housing that is affordable to all our citizens.

Housing Works is the assumed business name of Central Oregon Regional Housing Authority.



“CORHA” has become “Housing Works”

New name, Same mission. Even though our name has changed, many things remain the same— including our deep commitment to affordable housing.

“We felt the CORHA name didn't adequately express all we do,” explains Cyndy Cook, Executive Director. “We’re a public corporation that runs like a business in working with private sector partners to finance and build affordable housing. But we’re like a public agency in that we must be a trustworthy steward of public funds. We think our new identity better captures this balance.”   MORE
