Oregon Revised Statutes Public Health and Safety § 456.589

The Legislative Assembly finds that cities with a population of 300,000 or more suffer from a lack of available mortgage financing for the purchase of single-family homes in the core and inner areas of those cities. There is a need for low-cost mortgage financing for single-family home purchasers in order to prevent urban decay and blight and to promote the economic well being of those core and inner areas.
