Grants Available Through Oregon Cares Fund

September 9, 2020

The members of the Oregon Legislature's Black, Indigenous and People of Color Caucus worked to create the Oregon Cares Fund. The fund invests in Black people, Black-owned businesses and Black-led community-based organizations.

The Oregon Cares Fund is a sub-grant from the U.S. Treasury's disbursement of Coronavirus Relief Funds received by the State of Oregon under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Grants will vary in size for individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits, depending on the information submitted in the application. Individuals and families may be eligible to receive grants of $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000, depending on financial impacts of COVID-19 and family size. Businesses or nonprofits with employees will receive grants based on the amount of lost revenue due to COVID-19 and additional COVID-19-related expenses.

Foreclosure Moratorium
Governor Kate Brown extended protections from foreclosure for Oregon homeowners and business owners through executive action, until December 31. Executive Order 20-37 will extend House Bill 4204’s current moratorium on foreclosures, as allowed by that legislation. The Governor is also continuing to have conversations with community leaders and stakeholders to look at options surrounding a moratorium for evictions for renters, which does not expire until September 30.
