Oregon’s first local 10-year plan to end homelessness was adopted by Multnomah County in 2005. Since then, community leaders and housing advocates in urban, suburban and rural communities have developed and launched their plans to coordinate and their ending homelessness activities. By 2010, thirteen counties have adopted plans, and several more are underway.
In 2009, Status Report: Year One of the 10-year plan to end homelessness was issued to measure the accomplishments of the first year of the state’s plan. Among the accomplishments were:
Creation of more than 200 units of permanent supportive housing
Preservation of subsidized housing for very low-income households
Secure additional funding for housing and services
