Ending Homelessness Advisory Council Current Topics
 
The State of Oregon has committed to ending chronic homelessness. We believe all people in Oregon should have the opportunity to be at home in their communities and to be physically, emotionally and economically healthy.

The Ending Homelessness Advisory Council (EHAC), created in 2008 through an Executive Order by Governor Ted Kulongoski. The Council develops strategies and makes recommendations to end and prevent homelessness among Oregon's homeless populations.

In 2008, EHAC developed the State of Oregon's 10-year plan to end homelessness, and created the Year One Status Report in 2009.

EHAC members meet quarterly and provide support for local efforts to end homelessness, promote best practices and outcome-based services.
