The Housing Authority of Lincoln County (HALC) is a public, not-for-profit community organization founded in 1944. HALC’s Mission: To promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from discrimination.
We are here to help. If you have questions contact us.
The Housing Authority of Lincoln County (HALC) owns and manages 242 units of affordable housing (thirteen complexes) in Depoe Bay, Lincoln City, Newport, Toledo and Yachats. HALC is also the local entity that coordinates the HUD Housing Choice Voucher program which is currently at 580 vouchers.
HALC is in partnership with Stewardship Group, a nonprofit affordable housing entity, and will be opening a 44 unit complex in Lincoln City in June 2024 called Wecoma Place.
Two additional projects (Depoe Bay Townhomes and Lighthouse Village Apartments) are in pre-development.
While HALC does manage federal housing subsidies (like Housing Choice Vouchers and Public Housing) many of its developments are with state funds (Local Innovation Fast Track or Housing Tax Credits) or local investors.
The median income of the renters we serve is $19,715. The median income of our Voucher participants is $16,080. Overall HALC is providing housing stability to 782 households in Lincoln County, which represents 1,423 people (445 children).

“The Housing Authority’s Section 8 Program has been such a blessing to my family. The program allowed me to raise my children with a safe roof over their heads, which I would not otherwise have been able to provide. As a mother, that alone was invaluable. The staff who work at the Housing Authority are wonderful, genuinely good people that are there to help you. I can’t recommend the services they provide enough. It’s truly been a miracle for us.”
