The Josephine Housing and Community Development Council is the local housing authority in Josephine County, Oregon. Our agency provides rental assistance to low-income families in the county through Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.
Our federally funded programs provide rent subsidies enabling income-qualified persons to lease privately owned rental housing.
Our agency owns Harbeck Village, a 48-unit tax credit project, located at 1760 Harbeck Road, Grants Pass, that has two, three, and four-bedroom units. We also partner with developers to build affordable housing, and can provide developer’s projects with tax-exemption, and possible access to additional funding sources by having partnership with us.
