Response to COVID-19
Due to COVID-19 closures, health, and economic impacts, the City of Beaverton has allocated funds for rent & utility assistance for low income tenants impacted by COVID-19. The state of Oregon has also issued a moratorium on evictions through September 30, 2020. This moratorium prevents no cause evictions and evictions issued based on late rent. During this time, it is unlawful for landlords to award late rent penalties as well. Starting on October 1, 2020 tenants will have six months to pay back any rent owed from March-September 2020. Please check back regularly for additional updates on COVID-19 related relief for Beaverton residents. Learn more about the residential moratorium on evictions.

Housing Implementation
Beaverton is one of the region’s fastest growing communities. It is also one of the most diverse communities in the Portland metropolitan region. The City of Beaverton is committed to ensuring all of its residents have appropriate housing. It has therefore created an inter-department team to create a Housing Implementation Strategy. The team has created a plan with details on how the city intends to achieve its housing goals which include downtown revitalization, housing affordability trends, and homelessness.
