Familial status is a protected class under federal and Oregon fair housing law, and it covers more people than the phrase might suggest. Protections generally extend to families with children under 18, pregnant people, people in the process of obtaining legal custody of a minor child, and foster parents, grandparents, and other guardians living with minor children.

Signs of familial status discrimination can include a requirement that every child have a separate bedroom, a rule limiting families to first floor units, an advertisement stating a preference for adults, or extra rent and deposits charged because a household includes children.

Learn how to report a concern at fhco.org/report-housing-discrimination.

🔈‼️ Stay Covered, Stay Healthy: Upcoming Changes to Medicaid and OHP

🗓️ Federal Medicaid and Oregon Health Plan (OHP) rule changes are taking effect in 2027 under House Bill H.R.1. Patients have started receiving letters from the Oregon Health Authority regarding these plan updates.

➡️ Two key requirements will affect most adults:

Six-Month Renewals: Adult patients must renew their OHP insurance every six months to maintain coverage.
Work & Volunteer Reporting: Most adults will need to share information regarding their work and volunteer activities.

📞 Our health center is committed to helping patients understand their options and navigate these changes seamlessly. If you have any questions, please call 503-988-5270 or visit healthcenter.multco.us/HR1
