Buying a home is often the biggest, most important financial investment of our lives. The Portland Housing Center  helps hundreds of people each year buy their first home safely, securely, and with no surprises. That’s what we call home ownership done right.

Portland Housing Center never directs or restricts buyers to a particular lender, Portland Housing Center partner, or loan product. You’re also never  under any obligation to use our mortgage products, or products or services offered by any Portland Housing Center partner. We encourage homebuyers to choose the professionals, and mortgage financing, that meets their needs and is in their best interests.

At the Portland Housing Center, we specialize in safe, affordable, fixed-rate mortgages. We also offer special programs to home buyers, including the Oregon Bond Loan, FHA (insured by the Federal Housing Administration), VA (for current and former members of the military), USDA (rural home loans), our Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP) which makes homeownership affordable through low monthly payments and 100% financing, and the IDA matched savings program. We also offer refinance options.
