No. The PIER Program is overseen by Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) as part of the ReOregon disaster recovery initiative, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). OHCS manages the program at the state level, ensuring compliance, funding distribution, and program integrity.
IVCanDO was chosen by the PIER selection committee to administer the microenterprise grant program and the Jackson County PIER Revolving Loan Fund. We are a local implementation partner — we developed these programs with OHCS to meet specific needs identified by the Jackson County community following the 2020 Labor Day disasters. Our role includes outreach, program administration, participant relations, technical assistance, and ensuring small and micro-businesses in Jackson county can access the resources available.
In short: IVCanDO created and operates these programs, with support from OHCS, to ensure those funds reach the people and businesses who need them most.
