There's also a cheap area known informally as "felony flats," that isn't uniformly as bad as it sounds. It's generally the area from SE 72nd Ave to SE 52nd Ave East to West and SE Foster Rd to the southern city limits (SE Clatsop/SE Harney) going North to South.

As for assistance programs, Home Forward may be a useful resource.
