Oregon Senate Bill (SB) 829, introduced during the 2025 legislative session, includes several policy interventions aimed at mitigating and stabilizing insurance costs for affordable housing providers and emergency shelter operators. The bill was drafted in response to mounting concerns that insurance premiums, both property and liability coverages, are rising to levels that threaten the sustainability and availability of affordable housing and shelter bed access across the state.
The legislature recognized that this trend threatens Oregon's broader housing development goals and passed SB 829. The bill established a premium assistance program designed to offset some of the rising costs of insurance coverage incurred by affordable housing providers and shelter sites.
