Our stories: Creating pathways to housing for Oregonians
Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is delivering real, human-centered solutions, changing lives and building stronger communities.
In early January, Gov. Tina Kotek announced the extension of Executive Order 24-02 to continue efforts to reduce homelessness in Oregon. Since the emergency homelessness response began in January 2023, OHCS has made substantial progress. However, continued support and resources are needed to maintain our commitment to making life better for the communities we serve.
As a result of funding and action, the broader statewide homelessness response effort, including the emergency response, it is estimated that by the end of June 2025:
- 5,500 shelter beds will be funded by the state.
- 3,300 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness will be rehoused.
- 24,000 households will have been prevented from experiencing homelessness.
Watch and read more on how the governor’s homelessness emergency response is transforming lives.
