Newberg has developed an Affordable Housing Resource Center, housed on the second floor of the Newberg Public Library, 503 E. Hancock Street. The resources are there to help educate Newberg residents of their options available in housing. It includes several applications and instructions to help find appropriate housing. The information at the Resource Center, as well at the links below, provides contact information for local housing agencies and services. A large portion of the resources are provided by the Housing Authority of Yamhill County. However, many other agencies have provided information as well including Habitat for Humanity in Newberg.
Many residents are unaware of the resources available to them. The City of Newberg, through the Affordable Housing Action Plan, is hoping to resolve this issue by familiarizing residents with the available opportunities.
