Overview
Homelessness affects youth in urban, suburban and rural parts of the state. All young people should have safe and stable places to stay, the services and supports they need to thrive, and opportunities to reach their full potential. In 2011, the Youth Experiencing Homelessness Program (YEHP) was assigned to the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and allocated to the Self-Sufficiency Programs (SSP) arm of the agency in 2019.
