Why this guide and what others miss
- What this is: A practical, no-fluff hub for rural single moms in Oregon. Each section starts with the action you can take today, then lists eligibility, documents, timelines, and a “Plan B” if things don’t work.
- Gaps we saw in the top search results: Many pages list programs but skip exact dollar amounts and 2025 rules, don’t give rural contacts, or don’t explain waitlists and realistic timelines. This guide fills those gaps with current figures from official state and federal sites, plus direct phone numbers and links you can use immediately. See citations throughout for verification.
First steps to unlock multiple programs fast
- Apply through ONE once: Use ODHS ONE to be screened for OHP, SNAP, TANF, and ERDC in one application. If online is tough, call 800-699-9075 for phone application or visit a local ODHS office. Keep your case number handy. (oregon.gov)
- If you are fleeing abuse: Ask ODHS about TA-DVS cash help up to $3,200 over 90 days for safety-related costs like deposits, locks, or travel. Call your local ODHS office or start via the TA-DVS page. (oregon.gov)
- If rent is at risk right now: Check your local Community Action Agency via 211, and ask about eviction prevention programs ORE-DAP or EPRR if a court case has started. EPRR intake line 833-746-8167. Note that statewide OERAP is closed; rely on local and OHCS prevention funds. (oregon.gov, pplfirst.com)
- If heat or lights may be shut off: Contact your county’s LIHEAP provider for 2025 help. Income limit is up to 60 percent of Oregon median income; typical benefit ranges 250–250–750. (oregon.gov, liheapch.acf.gov)

Eligibility and documents
- Income and household: See ODHS income table for Oregon; asset test is generally waived under broad-based rules. Bring ID, proof of address, income, expenses, and child care or medical bills if applicable. (oregon.gov)
- Time limits for some adults without dependents: Oregon restarts ABAWD work rules in select counties beginning September 1, 2025. These rules do not apply if your child under 18 is on your case. Exemptions include pregnancy, veterans, homelessness, foster care alumni under 25, disability, and more. If you’re in Benton, Clackamas, Hood River, Multnomah, Washington, or Yamhill, contact the ABAWD Team at 833-947-1694 to claim exemptions or get help meeting 80 hours per month. (oregon.gov)
- Federal 2023 law context: The Fiscal Responsibility Act raised the ABAWD age to 54 and added exemptions for veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and former foster youth. Oregon’s page will update if federal rules change again. (fns.usda.gov)
Timeline
- From application to EBT: Interviews are typically scheduled quickly; issuance times vary by county volume. Ask about “expedited” SNAP if your income and resources are very low.
What to do if this doesn’t work
- Plan B: Call 211 to find pantries and meal sites; search “Find Food” at Oregon Food Bank. If food was lost in a declared event, watch for ODHS replacement benefit waivers. (apps.oregon.gov)
TANF cash assistance
What to do first
- Apply via ONE: TANF helps with monthly cash plus connections to JOBS employment, parenting supports, and clothing allowances.
How much you could get
- Example amount: ODHS states that a family of three with no other income can get up to $506 per month. Exact awards depend on income and family size; ODHS will calculate your grant at intake. (oregon.gov)
Requirements and documents
- Who qualifies: Oregon families with very low income and limited resources, including pregnant applicants. Bring ID, proof of residence and income, and proof of pregnancy if applying while pregnant.
Timeline
- Real world: Processing can take a few weeks depending on the office and completeness of documents. Ask about emergency help through TA-DVS if safety is an issue. (oregon.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work
- Plan B: Ask ODHS about the Family Support and Connections program, and check local charities in your county via 211 while you re-apply or appeal.
WIC for moms, babies, and young children
What to do first
- Call your county WIC clinic: WIC serves pregnant/postpartum parents, infants, and children under five. Check the 2025 income guidelines from Oregon WIC and schedule an appointment. (oregon.gov)
2025 fruit and vegetable benefit amounts (CVB)
| Category | FY2025 monthly CVB |
|---|---|
| Child (1–4) | $26 |
| Pregnant and postpartum | $47 |
| Fully/mostly breastfeeding | $52 |
Source: USDA WIC FY2025 CVB memo. (fns.usda.gov)
What’s changing in 2025
- Food package updates: Oregon WIC is rolling updated foods and more choice in 2025, with new items like certain whole grains and expanded options; see Oregon WIC’s 2025 update page. (oregon.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work
- Plan B: Ask your WIC office about temporary hardship options and connect to SNAP-Ed and Oregon Food Bank distributions via 211.
Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and OHP Bridge
What to do first
- Apply for OHP: If your income is near the limit for adults, ask to be screened for OHP Bridge.
Who qualifies and key income limits
| Coverage | Adults income limit |
|---|---|
| OHP Plus (MAGI adult) | Generally to about 138 percent FPL |
| OHP Bridge (ages 19–64) | Up to 200 percent FPL (no premiums) |
- OHP Bridge sample annual limits through Feb 2025: 1 person 30,120∗∗,2people∗∗30,120**, 2 people **40,880, 3 people 51,640∗∗,4people∗∗51,640**, 4 people **62,400. (oregon.gov, healthcare.oregon.gov)
- Program rules: OAR 410-200-0315 formalizes income standards for MAGI categories, including Bridge at 200 percent FPL. Children and pregnant people have higher thresholds. (casetext.com, regulations.justia.com)
Extra supports that matter in rural areas
- NEMT rides: OHP covers non-emergency medical transportation if approved in advance. Use OHA’s broker lookup to find your ride service. Examples include Ride to Care for Health Share members and TransLink for Jackson Care Connect; mileage reimbursement may apply. (oregon.gov, careoregon.org)
- Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN): OHP now offers climate devices (since March 2024) and housing supports (since November 2024) for members with specific risks and life transitions. These can include help with rent or utilities for up to six months for qualifying members. Demand is high, and approvals can take time—HRSN is not emergency rent aid. (oregon.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work
- Plan B: If you’re over income for OHP but under 200 percent FPL, request OHP Bridge. If denied, ask about Marketplace plans and financial help during special enrollment windows through OregonHealthCare.gov. For urgent climate or housing needs, talk to your CCO about HRSN screening and call 211 for non-Medicaid resources. (healthcare.oregon.gov)
Child care help with ERDC
What to do first
- Apply and ask about the waitlist: ERDC currently has a waitlist for most families. Some households with specific needs can skip the waitlist. Apply via ONE or call 800-699-9075. (oregon.gov)
Income limits and copays in 2025
- Initial eligibility: Up to 200 percent FPL.
- Ongoing/exit: Up to 250 percent FPL or 85 percent of State Median Income—whichever is higher. (oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work
- Plan B: Ask about Head Start, Preschool Promise, or a “family, friend, or neighbor” provider being paid through ERDC once approved. For child care referrals, text “children” to 898211 or call 211. (oregon.gov)
Housing, rent, and utilities
What to do first
- If you have a court summons: Call the Eviction Defense Project 888-585-9638 and ask about EPRR help. If you are pre-court and behind on rent, contact your local Community Action Agency via 211 to ask about ORE-DAP. OERAP is closed statewide. (pplfirst.com, oregon.gov)
- If you have OHP and meet HRSN criteria: Ask your CCO about HRSN housing benefits for rent or utilities up to six months, but note these are not emergency funds and approvals take time. (oregon.gov)
Section 8 and rural housing contacts
- How to find the right housing authority: Use HUD’s Public Housing Agency directory and your local authority’s site. Rural examples: Housing Authority of Malheur & Harney County 541-889-9661; Housing Works (Central Oregon) 541-923-1018; Housing Authority of Douglas County 541-673-6548.

She can be under ERDC ongoing limit (250 percent FPL is **5,553 for three) with a low copay and can enroll in OHP Bridge if her income fits. For housing, she should apply to HAMHC for vouchers when open and check LIHEAP in fall. (law.cornell.edu, oregon.gov, hamhc.org)
- Seasonal forestry worker in Douglas County with a newborn: While between contracts, they can apply for TANF, SNAP, and WIC immediately. If on OHP, request rides via the local broker and ask HADCO about waitlists. LIHEAP can help stabilize utilities in winter. (oregon.gov, hadcor.org)
Application checklist
- Photo ID for adults and any available ID for kids: Driver license, tribal ID, school ID.
- Proof of Oregon address: Lease, letter from landlord, mail.
- Income proofs: Recent paystubs, self-employment ledger, unemployment letter, child support order.
- Expenses that can help eligibility: Child care receipts, rent, utilities, medical costs.
- Pregnancy or custody documents if relevant: Doctor note or due date record; guardianship papers.
- Banking for direct deposit: If you prefer benefits on EBT, that’s automatic; bring bank info if setting up direct deposit for unemployment or Paid Leave.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Missing interviews or calls: If you miss an ODHS call, your case can stall. Call back the same day using the ONE line 800-699-9075.
- Not reporting simple exemptions: If you’re in an ABAWD county and you’re pregnant, a veteran, experiencing homelessness, or caring for someone disabled, report it to avoid time limits. (oregon.gov)
- Applying for rent help too late: Once an eviction case is filed, some funds require a case number to qualify, but it’s better to contact 211 earlier to attempt ORE-DAP.
- Choosing a child care provider who isn’t set up for ERDC: Confirm your provider can accept ERDC before care starts. (oregon.gov)
Diverse Communities
- LGBTQ+ single mothers: You can use all programs here. For DV-specific support, Call to Safety is inclusive and confidential; Paid Leave “safe leave” covers harassment and bias crimes. Phones: 888-235-5333 for Call to Safety. (oregonhealthnews.oregon.gov)
- Single mothers with disabilities or disabled children: OHP covers NEMT and many therapies; ask your CCO about HRSN climate devices like air filters or portable power supplies when a health condition requires it. (oregon.gov)
- Veteran single mothers: SNAP ABAWD rules exempt veterans. Ask ODVA and local VA for additional supports; HCV-VASH vouchers are administered by PHAs like HADCO. (hadcor.org)
- Immigrant and refugee single moms: Many benefits are available regardless of immigration status for children. Refugee families can access ODHS Refugee Services; SNAP ABAWD rules have specific training exemptions for refugee programs. (oregon.gov)
- Tribal-specific resources: Tribal Lifeline adds $25 to monthly phone/internet discounts; OHP HRSN housing supports are available regardless of tribal affiliation if criteria are met. Contact your Tribe’s social services for TANF or housing programs. (oregon.gov)
- Single fathers: Every program above applies when you have custody, are expecting a child, or are caring for a minor.
