Governor Kate Brown has extended Oregon’s mortgage foreclosure moratorium until September 30, 2021.

The Governor was acting under the authority of the recently passed House Bill 2009, which authorizes Brown to extend the mortgage foreclosure moratorium period for homeowners for two successive three-month periods beyond June 30.

In Senate Bill 282—the recently passed evictions bill—the legislature did not give similar authority to Governor Brown to extend the eviction moratorium for tenants beyond June 30. However, the Governor’s Office said Brown is working with the legislature to pass a bill to give tenants who have applied for rent assistance safe harbor from eviction. That bill, SB 278, is being heard today in the House Rules Committee.
