(Salem, OR) -- The first phase of a homeowner assistance program for wildfire victims in the state is starting March 25th. Oregon Housing and Community Services will take applications for the Homeowner Assistance and Reconstruction Program. Victims of the 2020 wildfires and straight-line winds will be able to get help repairing their homes or building new ones. Applications must be done online. Those who aren't accepted initially might get benefits later, if funds are available.
