@hosslyn13 Is there heating or utility assistance for low income folks in Oregon? Does she have a social worker? The federal government provides 30.00 a month towards internet service and some states have assistance for cell phone service.
I would try and keep the house. You don’t want to be at the mercy of a landlord.
From Oregon.gov
Oregon homeowners who are either 62 and older, or disabled and eligible to receive Social
Security Disability benefits, and who also meet income and other criteria can apply to defer
their property tax. The state will pay the property taxes as long as the owners qualify for the
program. The taxes plus 6 percent interest, as well as recording and release fees, must be paid
back to the Department of Revenue (DOR) when the homeowner dies, changes ownership of
the property, or moves.
